Only four weeks left and only a handful of teams are still in the playoff race. So this is the rooting guide for OSU to get the #1 seed and to have the easiest path to a title. The teams who are in the playoff race are OSU, Oklahoma, Clemson, Utah/Oregon, and then Bama, LSU, and Georgia.(not including PSU because if they beat us this is all for nothing and Minnesota and Baylor wont be making it there.) This is also going to be realistic. It would be great for Wake Forest to beat Clemson but it isnt happening

First, the best way the schedule could pan out. 

1. UC being good has been huge for our schedule, giving us potentially the best OOC win of all the contenders. UC will go into the last two weeks 9-1. They then have Temple and @Memphis. If they win one of those games they will win the AAC East. Memphis looks much better and UC likely won't be able to beat them so they could be 10-2 and likely top 15. 
2. PSU to beat Minnesota and win out after we beat dat ass. 11-1 PSU would be arguably the best win in the country. 
3. Michigan to beat MSU and Indiana, making them 9-2 going into The Game. 
4. Minnesota to win out after PSU making them 11-1 going into the B1G championship
5. This would give us wins over 11-1 PSU, 11-2 Minnesota, 9-3 Michigan, 8-4 Indiana, 10-2 UC, and 9-3 Wisconsin

Second we want Bama to not make it. Clemson will be making it so I expect to be seeing them at some point if we are going to win the title. While people have been pecking at Bama they have the best offense in the country without a doubt and a top 5 defense. They give up yards on defense but they are one of the few who could athletically stand up to OSU. The committee would also do their darndest to put them into the playoff, so root for this.

1. LSU to beat Bama. Bama will be able to say Tua is hurt and the 4 seed would still very much be theirs over Oklahoma or Oregon/Utah despite their weak schedule. I am not arguing that they should be in but we all know they will get it over thsoe teams at 11-1.
2. Georgia to beat LSU in the SEC championship. This would make it so Georgia and LSU would have to get in before Bama. 

This would give us a playoff of OSU-LSU and Georgia-Clemson. I don't want to play Joe Burrow but LSU has a softish front 7 and struggles running. They also struggled against an Auburn defense that isn't as good as ours. If Bama wins though getting the #1 seed is very important because Bama would play Clemson which would be a tough game. They would be putting a lot into that game while OSU would get a bit of an easier game. We would like to see Oregon/Utah so Oklahoma losing would also help.
