Oregon wins next week, no brainer they are nunber 1 seed. If PSU beats Oregon we will jump Texas, asuming Texas wins tonight and even if Texas beats GA.

lets go get a Big 10 Championship a number 1 seed and bye.......
 
It’s conceivable that we could be 7 if we lose to Oregon and Georgia beats Texas - 4 champions plus Texas and Notre Dane above us. But I don’t think that will happen (I don’t expect ND to be able to leap us especially if this UT/A&M score holds up).

PSU vs Texas will be interesting in terms of rankings.
 
I'm not sure we'd jump UT if it was us and UT. They're ahead of us now and they would be avenging their only loss of the season, might come down to margins.
True but we’d be defeating the #1 undefeated team and they’d be beating a 2 loss Georgia that just barely got by Georgia Tech. So, who knows?

We’d actually have more ranked wins (2 vs 1) in that situation as A&M won’t be ranked any more after today

UGA still has the UGA cache. I'm not saying its inconceivable. I think it would come down to who looked better in each game.

Right. I think it could go either way but beating #1 Oregon would be pretty huge and could certainly be enough to get us to #1

That 2-loss Georgia is still a team ranked #5 and avenging the loss is huge
I think Penn State/Texas should already be debated but if they're ahead of us I think they'd stay

Yep, 100% agreed. Can’t penalize a team for losing in the big ten championship game! We’re #6 at worst, even if we get blown out in the big ten championship game.
 
CBS Sports just predicted the same for PSU.....lose and get a 6 seed. they did not list what would happen with a win.....but seems like a 1 seed.
