I didn't watch last night. What was the reasoning for Ohio State over Georgia and Michigan? Two high caliber wins over Notre Dame and Penn State?

Yep.  Best resume.

So the eye test doesn't really count. Right or wrong?

It matters but OSU's eye test would look similar to Michigan had the Buckeyes played Michigan's schedule to date. Michigan hasn't played a soul. Unless Washington goes undefeated, OSU is almost assuredly in the field even with a loss to Michigan so long as they don't get blown out.

I honestly don't know, I lost interest in the CFP after Notre Dame lost to Louisville. I keep an eye on it, but probably not as tightly as you guys.

I don't see FSU losing so they are going to get in as an undefeated team. Washington would get in as undefeated PAC12 team but I don't think they get by Oregon a 2nd time.

Someone told me the other day that Oregon could be the team to beat. I never take west coast football too seriously.

They'd have to beat Washington in the Pac12 championship and then get some help.

2023 wager?

Should have said yet, obviously Michigan still plays in Happy Valley and of course The Game. Michigans in if they take care of business. Ohio State still has outs based on their initial rank.

Lots of football left, who can avoid a colossal upset?!?

I don't know...as a conference overall, PAC 12 looks stronger than the Big 10 right now....

Love what the Huskies are doing, but they have a tough road to make the championship game.  USC this week, Utah, Oregon State and Washington State.  I kind of have to agree with Herbstreit....they may just have the toughest remaining schedule in CFB

Hell, so does the MAC.

Who looks worse right now? The Big Ten or Cincinnati, UCF and Houston who were finally invited to a big boy conference and all 3 sit at the bottom of the standings.
