Didn't watch any of the games yesterday, but why would you think that a two loss Michigan could be below a two loss PSU or a two loss Wisconsin when they already beat both. Same with Ohio State basically, except even though they lost to PSU they are just better. Same with Washington if they don't win the PAC 12. It would be no surprise whatsoever if both Ohio state and Michigan made the playoff.

Even pendulums swing both ways
A Big 10 champion PSU/Wisconsin may very well get in over a 2-loss non-champion michigan team. Don't ask me, as the experts. Sometimes common sense doesn't win when you're talking about people who are basically college football bureaucrats.
I can't wait for the upcoming weekend, the rivalry has meaning again. The qb situation with the wolverines though has me awfully nervous.
Literally every single Penn State LB was injured for that game.
RE: Michigan: a 2 loss team who doesn't even win their division doesn't have a shot of getting in. It's the same situation as Louisville. The loser of OSU/Michigan is still without a doubt going to a NY6 bowl, but is definitely not making the playoff. (For the record, I think Michigan wins on Saturday; JT didn't look that good last week vs a bad MSU team and everything I've read suggests Speight will play. I'm not sure if they win the rematch with Wisconsin though.)
My point is that, while the 3rd seed would belong to PSU, the 4th seed would still go to 11-2 OSU, 10-2 Michigan, or theoretically 11-2 Washington, given that scenario. Again, Big 10 has a likely chance at sending two teams to the playoffs, given that they have 4 teams in the top 8 with really only Washington standing in their way. Since only one of those four teams can win the championship, there's a good chance a loser goes as well, and it'll probably be whoever loses this weekend.

10-2 OSU and 10-2 michigan can't happen. and if osu loses they can't get to the big 10 champ regardless so 11-2 can't happen either.
Alabama
winner of osu/mich
clemson
Big 10 winner
Is it normal to be pacing around in the living room while watching a rivalry game? Only the first half and my voice has gone ghost.
Speights and some fuckery. Enough said, pretty disappointing but the season is over. Curious to see who can even challenge Bama at this point, should be interesting.
Holy fuck my heart. Best game Ive ever been too. Go bucks!
I don't think I've ever seen a team get screwed over by the refs like VT just did on that fumble. I mean it ultimately won't matter (they're losing at 24-0 at this point), but that was just an atrocious job by the refs and the review booth.
Edit: So technically, they got the call right, but the rule is so confusing and makes zero sense. Just a big mess

you obviously are woefully uneducated on the matter if you think peppers sitting out was because of "being a bitch". did you see him in pregame warmups? and no, shit wasn't "boring till the end".
I personally don't really like FBS football, especially the power 5 teams, But I like FCS football, particularly Big Sky Conference, as It has U.C. Davis and Sacramento State (Yay!).
i like C-USA, MWC, Sun-Belt, and MAC. Power-5 In my Sit down, be humble opinion is overrated.
