    Yep.

    Over 71 on KSU/Baylor. (I'm thinking 52-28....something like that.)

    Over 57.5 on Ohio St/Wisky. (35-28 ish....)

    Looking pretty anticlimactic as the first three spots are just about sewn up. (I can't see a committee that has loved TCU so much knocking them out after a 55-3 win.)

    Just for kicks ... What if Florida State, Ohio State and Baylor all lose tonight? Next on the list would be ... Michigan State? K-State?

    I've got the answer:

    Alabama, Oregon and Florida State are in.

    And for the No. 4 spot: Baylor, Ohio State and TCU meet next week for a Kansas tiebreaker!

    What a cluster, but could see:

    Alabama vs. Florida State in the Sugar Bowl
    And they would throw a big parade on New Year's Day if Granddaddy gets Oregon vs. Ohio State

    I think Ohio State took the committee off the hook with regard to TCU/Baylor. They can take the Buckeyes at No. 4 and not have to explain their thinking on taking TCU over Baylor.

    If this happens the committee has no credibility; TCU was 3 not 4 and romped; Big 10 has been weak all year inter conf; Ore-OSU would be fun;

    BTW how good is Winston? He looked like a pro last night; touch and accuracy with some reads too

    I guess the committee doesn't have to be concerned about ratings, these 6 teams will draw the same ratings without regard to seeding.

    I'm disinclined to like Baylor because, among other reasons, I think Ken Starr is Antoine Quentin Foyquier-Tinville, but they are getting screwed.

    If Big12 is better than the Big10, baylor goes not OSU.

    It seems all of the "expert" college writers have been banging the drum for Ohio State to make the Top 4 since about two weeks ago. Now everyone seems to have Ohio State as its fourth pick. I wonder why that is. Really. Any answers?

    Personally, I think it will be TCU. The committee has ranked the Frogs above Baylor (TCU's only loss) based on presumably strength of schedule. (Yeah, head to head matters to me more too but I'm going by the committee's supposed logic here). So TCU is already in there and I don't see why it should drop out after yesterday. And, again, TCU's loss was to Baylor, No. 6 right now. Ohio State lost to Va. Tech, 6-6. Case closed. Frogs should be in. But everybody lovvvvves the Buckeyes and always have. Why?
