What's this?

Me neither. But I think they're the second best team.

There is no one single factor that seems to out-weight the other. But the fact the UM is behind OSU and PSU (if the Nits with the B1G) in many people's eyes will obviously work against them.

They'd almost have them take 3 B1G teams in order for that to happen.

UM could be helped by an OU loss, Clemson loss, and Washington loss. UM beat CU recall. I give them less than 1% chance of getting in.

Who makes it from the B1G? -- hokieball 11/27/2016 08:35AM

OSU should root for a close game in the B1G title game. -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2016 4:21PM

I don't think Michigan has any chance of getting in, but I also think -- reestuart 11/28/2016 4:39PM

Losing 2 games in the last 3 weeks should put Michigan out of the picture. -- HOO86 11/28/2016 6:54PM

Excellent point. If PSU beats UW, they should get serious consideration ** -- Calamitous 11/29/2016 10:20PM

I'm 99% sure they're out, but if teams ahead of them lose, -- reestuart 11/29/2016 09:07AM

Sure if teams at the top lose, it changes the whole picture. -- HOO86 11/29/2016 5:42PM

Me neither. But I think they're the second best team. -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2016 5:48PM

Given that Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisky are in the Top 7 -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2016 5:01PM

Bama has a big enough margin. They're in unless they... -- cincyhokie 11/29/2016 07:23AM

I agree but stranger things have happened. -- VTHokie2000 11/29/2016 12:02PM

I don't think UF could score 50 on anyone without a 2 hour head start. -- reestuart 11/29/2016 09:06AM

It's possible, but I don't see it happening. I think Clemson has likely -- reestuart 11/28/2016 5:41PM

Clemson is out if they lose. ** -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2016 6:07PM

We don't have Conference Champions yet...so the committee can't weight that -- Stech 11/27/2016 9:12PM

Wondering if Delaney will say anything publicly this week. If I'm -- daveinop 11/27/2016 9:38PM

They seem to choose the "best team right now" in their rankings. -- chuckd4vt 11/27/2016 3:06PM

Wisconsin or No one. -- Hokie CPA 11/27/2016 11:45AM

I was very much anti OSU getting in 2 years ago, they have earned a... -- Gator Hokie 11/28/2016 07:56AM

5 of their last 7 games have been OT or decided by 4 pts or less -- marcbvtgm 11/30/2016 08:21AM

That's just silly. I can see a case for most of those, but... -- cincyhokie 11/27/2016 3:05PM

Yep. There would be no reason to play Big OOC games -- reestuart 11/27/2016 3:41PM

Especially true when unbalanced conf. schedules are considered. -- chuckd4vt 11/27/2016 4:44PM

Ohio State also only beat Michigan State (3-9) by 1 and NW (6-6) -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2016 2:02PM

They probably are/will be punished for that, but at the same time -- reestuart 11/28/2016 3:44PM

I agree the other top teams will be punished too. However, it will -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2016 4:05PM

IMO, they won't be punished. They made it clear a week or so ago -- reestuart 11/28/2016 4:37PM

I don't disagree with that logic. Although it could portray the Committee -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2016 4:55PM

I can't disagree with that because I honestly don't know. -- reestuart 11/28/2016 5:39PM

A win is a win. Everyone has off weeks and when you are... -- cincyhokie 11/28/2016 2:10PM

I don't disagree. My point though is when you are competing -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2016 2:37PM

Agree with all. ** -- reestuart 11/27/2016 8:51PM

This is the test the playoff committee needs. -- mica 11/27/2016 11:03AM

I suspect it's a conversation they've all had, but you're right ** -- daveinop 11/27/2016 12:00PM

OSU is in. Not a chance they get booted. Nobody has the resume. -- reestuart 11/27/2016 09:19AM

They are very close to being a 3 or 4 loss team. -- marcbvtgm 11/30/2016 08:24AM

They lose two of the tie breaking criteria with PSU -- daveinop 11/27/2016 9:52PM

That's assuming they're "tied". Which they don't appear to be. ** -- reestuart 11/27/2016 10:54PM

I'm sure B1G is hoping for upsets in the CCGs. OSU is in the best position -- daveinop 11/27/2016 09:07AM

Yeah, Michigan, PSU, and Wiscy are all an eyelash away from being top 4. ** -- reestuart 11/27/2016 3:43PM

Because middle & bottom of B1G is terrible ** -- marcbvtgm 11/27/2016 7:51PM

As opposed to what conference? ** -- reestuart 11/27/2016 8:50PM

The ACC - particularly the ACC Coastal. ** -- marcbvtgm 11/30/2016 08:26AM

I won't argue that. The coastal is darned tough. But if having weak -- reestuart 11/30/2016 09:01AM

Me neither. But I think they're the second best team.
