[QUOTE=MOWJO8185;16648874]The way I see it. Bama, winner of Michigan/OSU, Clemson, and Washington all win out, they should all 4 be in.
If Washington falls, then I like a Penn State B1G champ over a 2 loss PAC 12 champ. I also like PSU over the Big 12 champ (at least on paper; I could be convinced otherwise if PSU squeaks by Wisconsin and the Bedlam winner just blows the other team out).QUOTE]

If Ohio State beats Michigan, Ohio State will be adding a win over the current #3 team to their resume. Penn State will then play the #6 team in the conference championship game. Ohio State's resume is already better, and can only widen that gap with the opponents each has left.

It does appear now that PSU and Ohio St are no longer competing for the same spot... BUT if you heard Joey Galloway and Danny Kanell last night, they did have an issue with a PSU B1G champ getting left out for Ohio St, which is the point I've been makin the last few weeks in this thread, that it would be a tough sell from the committee to the country and not just PSU fans would have a problem with it.
There point was not that they have a problem with Ohio St being ranked above PSU, I don't have a problem with that, but there problem is with PSU being left out for Ohio St.
Washington losing a game would be huge for PSU, but I think PSU would still have a case over 1 loss Washington. Would be close IMO, but if you look at Washington's SOS it's not great. PSU would have 2 wins better than any on Washington's resume, but Washington would have 1 less loss.
