they'll struggle to keep tOSU above Indy if Indy ends with one loss and tOSU ends with 2. It may happen but really invalidates the value of having a regular season. And if they take a two loss tOSU, they'll have to defend not taking a two-loss SEC team. At some point, you only have 12 teams.

you may well be correct but they'll take a LOT of heat.

Indiana would drop behind OSU if OSU beats them despite having a better record than OSU. Indiana would have beaten Washington, Michigan and Nebraska. Ohio State would have beaten Indiana (top 10-12 win), Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa. OSU would have lost to two top 3 teams.

I also think OSU gets seeded higher than a two loss Tennessee, Bama and A&M. Probably higher than one loss ND. They could be high as #6. Just the conf champs then either Penn State or Oregon (loser of ccg) at #5 ahead of them. Strength of B10 and the fact they had two "good losses".

Senior Worlds (non Olympic weights) - October 28-31, 2024

P
Dang! I guess there's no such thing as a mandatory rest period at Worlds. Kinda crazy if you ask me but that's life. You deal with the hand you're dealt. Kudos to DT for getting it done.

It does remind me of how high school summer tournaments were sometimes run. One time I was wrestling in the third period and got called on deck on another mat. After a bit of discussion, I think they gave me 10 minutes of 'rest' before I wrestled what was I think the 7th match of the day. Every other weight class had already finished so they were pushing to get the tournament over and get home, LOL.

They will take four in the playoff even two loss OSU. OSU is #4 now and may drop to 9 or 10 with a loss then work their way back up buoyed by beating Indiana (assuming it does happen but hoping it doesn't). They benefit from losing to two top 3 teams. The only caveat to this would be if Penn State totally dominates them and beats them by like 3 TDs or 17 points something like that then maybe they slip too far but even at that I don't think it would be enough to knock them out of the playoffs.

I don't agree, actually.

If tOSU loses, they'll have two losses. I think Oregon, PSU and Indiana (ever if they lose to tOSU) will be ahead of them in the B1G. Will the powers that be take FOUR teams from the B1G in their 12 team playoff? I am not so sure.
