1. What scenario leads to the most chaos?

2. What scenario is best for PSU’s bowl destination/opponent?

I think all chalk or all non-chalk is most disaster, right? Definitely want Michigan to win but Iowa winning would mean we beat the BIG Champs.

1. Most chaos os all the lower ranked teams win. e.i. Ala over UGA. Iowa over suUM*
2. Best for PSU none of #1 above. I look at best for PSU being bigger bowl and big opponent, not bragging rights like PSU beat the B1G champ.

If it’s all chalk, the only fight may be Texas vs FSU based on this silliness of ‘oh FSU doesn’t have their starting QB, it’s gonna be a blowout’ BS that everyone but FSU fans seem to be spouting. But if you want wild chaos and debate, Bama, Texas, and FSU winning will really fire up the machine. Saban already whining that SEC needs to have a rep regardless of game result. Texas beat Bama at T-Town by 10. Results need to matter. Does Georgia stay in the mix with a loss? And then there’s the aforementioned FSU angst.

For PSU purposes, keep the chalk and hope that they give us Missouri, not the AAC winner.

I have to laugh about all the different scenarios because duhOSU fans are trying to figure out which wins and losses get them into the playoff.

First, there will be a lot of complaining but the situation has been addressed with the 12 team format next year.

I think the biggest problem for the committee will be if AL beats GA. you then have four 1-loss teams to pick. Ouch. If both UM and GA lose, dang. But the chances of UM losing are pretty thin.

On Fl State, if they win, they are in. The committee can't start to ouiji board teams. they are undefeated so it is what it is.

If they put FSU in, it’s a travesty. Starting QBs matter.
So, if 4th ranked FSU wins their conference by beating #14 ranked Louisville and finishing the season undefeated, you want to drop them in the rankings and keep them out of the playoff because they are playing with their backup QB? I’m not sure I follow your reasoning, but then again, that wouldn’t be the first time. Who are you putting in ahead of them? A one loss non conference winner? That doesn’t make any sense. Conference championships and undefeated records matter.

It’s pretty simple … Louisville and Georgia win and OSU is in.

See TCU last year and you’ll know. What would Vegas do with bama v fsu ? (I’ll guess bama -15)
in fact, in a moment of clarity, let’s let Vegas pick the 4 and seed them.

If the goal is entertainment, put the best 4 in. FSU with a backup QB, say week 6, would be 15th or less plus factor in the G conference they’re in.

They wouldn’t be 15 or less with an undefeated record? Where do you come up with this stuff?

Not necessarily. Texas and Bama are right there also.
So if Alabama wins and FSU loses, it could be Mich, GA, TX, tOSU or Alabama. No way they leave Texas out after today. tOSU lost a very competitive game at Mich.

I agree. Plus, TX has the head to head win over Bama.

Yes, because they earned it. Even more so with a backup QB. If they win out and win a conference championship after losing their QB a few weeks ago, then they are legit and earned the opportunity. What else do you want from them?
To be one of the four best, which they are obviously not. Final four is for the best, not a participation award

because they will have earned their way in- it's not about "what I want to see" and it's not about you being entertained either- get over yourself
It’s not (imo) what you were, it’s what you are. If you agree with the early good loss theory, then you understand what I’m talking
n pleaze ACC LOL

Dude , what is your deal? How is it a participation trophy if they win all their games? Should they be penalized because the teams that “look good” lost a game already? You wanna penalize an undefeated team that started the day ranked #4? It’s that kind of backwards, vindictive thinking that left PSU holding the bag in ‘94.

You speculate with the best of them. One minute you say their schedule sucks, the next you say they wouldn’t be undefeated with the backup QB all year. Pick a hill to die on Rick.
Don’t be obtuse. I’m arguing they are not top 4 as presently constructed. If they played the last 5 games with their current backup QB, they wouldn’t be undefeated, proving they are not top 4 as presently constructed. Vegas would agree with me

Hey, the rick watched the first half and I’m prepared to say I was wrong, FSU is 100% one of the top 4 teams in the country and he looks forward to seeing them play. I’ll predict they get the 3Rd seed with Huskies getting 4. Cheers bro.
