So there's a debate whether the BT deserves 2 teams in the playoff; how about three!

[Class of 67]

Let's say Mich drops only to #5 after tonight's new rankings, #7 PSU beats #6 Wisconsin, VT beats #3 Clemson, and CO beats #4 Wash. Could the final rankings be AL, OSU, Mich, PSU?

No



Even in that long shot scenario, the B12 Champ (and probably even CU, as the PAC champ) goes to the front of the line over UMich

UMich - the 3rd place team in the B1G Eastern Division ain't in - not under any circumstances

OK, in this scenario with CO making it in, would we be the #3 team playing OSU, the #2 team? Also wouldn't CO have to play AL in that scenario? Wouldn't that be something?

That's the ideal scenario - - - Clemson and UW both lose, PSU wins, and PSU/OSU rematch as a 2-3 matchup - - - and right now I'd have PSU as a solid favorite in that game (though Vegas may not)

We could beat them twice on the field and the same asshats would be saying OSU and Mich are the better team.

Michigan is eliminated. It doesn't matter where they are ranked. They are only going to drop after this week. They finished 3rd in their half of the league-they're done.

I brought this up a week ago and was told the rules allow only two teams from the same conference.

Pretty sure that's the argument they used against the SEC back when that league used to be good.

And - at the time - it was noted that no such rule exists
