Can PSU still get the Rose?

Technically the Rosebowl can choose any big ten team if the champ isn’t available. I don’t think we jump OSU though
The only way we dont jump them is if they make playoffs. If they do(with Michigan) we are a shoo in for RoseBowl
The Big Ten has a Big say in the Rose Bowl selection process. Unless OSU makes the playoffs, we are not making the Rose Bowl.
Make no mistake OSU is going the CFP after TCU loses next week.
There is no way they put a one loss TCU or a two loss Bama in over a one loss OSU. Not a chance. Really only TCU, PSU, Bama or Tenn could go over OSU if TCU loses on Saturday and they wouldn't put any of them in over OSU who lost to an undefeated CFP team.
PSU is smelling Roses.

I think the only way they do is if USC loses the PAC 12 cc.
Provided Georgia,Michigan, and TCU wins theirs they are all undefeated.
OSU could slip in at four as the only one loss team, which was against another playoff team.

I think this would be an interesting scenario if OSU gets in the CFP, and both the buckeyes and wolverines win round 1. Then they play for the NC and OSU wins the "revenge" matchup and takes the crown.
If I am on the committee I don't want the possibility of "revenge" matchups. That settles nothing. OSU lost big time on its home turf. That settled the matter.
The committee should look for uncontested possibilities. OSU does not get in if they want a fair playoff.
Think about this. The OSU/Michigan game was like the first round of an expanded playoff. It should be over for the loser, especially when the loss was at home.
I agree. But it a repeat happened with bama and georgia. And IMO, if were to happen here, only reinforces the need for a playoff bracket to avoid it.
TCU losing would also likely do it and I think that is more likely to happen than USC losing.
If TCU loses a close game do they drop out of top four?
If Utah beats USC again I think it makes it easier for OSU to slide in at four.
TCU was 11 seconds away from losing to unranked baylor. I can see the committee possibly factoring that in, even if they a win in their game. The system needs a makeover. Last year's bama vs bearcats wasn't an exciting matching. TCU vs Georgia (if that's the case)...same.
Probably--do you think the committee truly believes TCU is one of the best 4 teams?
Does anyone believe that?
I don’t think they are. OSU would beat them nine out of ten times.
That’s why there needs to be a playoff.
Just because you’re ranked fourth doesn’t mean you are actually the fourth best team.
Yep. Instead of Michigan playing Purdue for instance, that game could be them playing a team atop another P5 conference leader. Games slated as a ccg could be as part of the bracket. I know it means rethinking years of tradition...but decisions would be made on field in h2h competion, not in a boardroom (where the Land Grant trophy could be the table.)
This is really simple. If everything holds chalk, OSU to Rose.
UGA and Mich in win or lose.
If USC loses, OSU in the playoffs, PSU to Rose.
If TCU loses, depends on the score. Close game, 1 loss conference champ TCU still gets in CFP, OSU to Rose.
If TCU loses "less than close," OSU goes to CFP based on the "eye test." PSU to Rose.
IF both TCU and USC lose, OSU to CFP and PSU to rose.
The only question is what score in a TCU loss makes OSU pass the eye test and jump them. My guess is it is not a very big margin, because $$$ indicate OSU would me better. Please no, because could you imagine the BTN programming if UM and OSU played in the playoff.

Nobody wants a rematch, but in absolutely no way should the committee rig things so that the possibility does not exist. The 4 most successful teams should be ranked in the appropriate order.
If TCU loses (or especially USC), state what you consider is fair and why.
That is your interpretation of things and would treat that specific game differently from every other game played. The CFP is only determining the four participants and their order based on how successful every team was.
