Played two 10-win teams and scored a minimum of 49 points in both games and won both games by double digits.

Also, Ohio St won their Conference outright, which neither Baylor or TCU did.

Buckeyes lost to a 6-6 team at home. TCU lost to a team in this discussion. Highly doubt the Buckeyes jump over them. Could happen, but doubt it
Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

The losses for each team will not be sufficient. Ohio State has made ground over that and besides they lost when they "needed" to lose, at the beginning of the season.

Doesn't matter when they lost the fact is they lost to a mediocre 6-6 team from the acc at home by double digits. he big Ten is a worse conference than the big 12 also. TCU beat Minnesota 30-7 while Ohio St. only beat them 31-24.

Ohio ST. does not deserve to get in at all. Who knows what the committee will do but hopefully they do the right thing and leave Ohio St. out. 

I would be okay if they decided to put Baylor in because of the head to head with TCU but it needs to be either TCU or Baylor not Ohio St. Hopefully the committee does the right thing.

Love how everyone is focusing on Ohio State's loss, WHEN THEY'VE WON MORE GAMES THAN TCU/BAYLOR.

12-1 > 11-1

Oh, and an outright champion.

Deal with it.

Understand you are biased and can't think logically about this because you seem to be an OSU fan, but any fan of college football understands the sport is only about loses and has nothing to do with wins.  You lose, you're out.  Always been that way.

Ohio St will be in. Playoff committee is gonna make a statement today for the only conference (Big 12) that doesn't have a title game, that they better add 2 teams and get one. These extra games Bama, FSU, Oregon and Ohio St played will weigh more to them.

5D has Ohio St a heavy favorite to get the playoff.  Ohio St has 5 times more fans than Baylor and TCU combined, that can't hurt.

TCU dropped to #6 in final AP rankings. Irrelevant, obviously.

1 - Alabama
2- Florida St
3 - Oregon
4 - Baylor
5 - Ohio State
6 - TCU

Outright Champion is a legit argument, but winning more games because you played more games is a moot point. If Ohio St. get's in, no one on the committee is going to say we picked them because they won 12 games and TCU/Baylor won 11....they played more games...

I honestly could make a legit argument for all of the top 6 teams and I have no idea who they pick out of TCU, Baylor, and Ohio St...it's going to be tough for two fan bases.

I cannot see them not putting Ohio St in the top 4 after their win against Wisconsin.

Very tough call. I thought they'd keep it same as last week but I also think the AP Poll is, though insignificant in reality, pretty telling. I personally think Ohio State should get the shot based on #s and that loss was ages ago, they're playing the best now, etc. but the other guys can point to that loss (ages ago) and say that disqualifies Ohio State. So who knows. It's going to be interesting. I don't envy the committee. It's a no win for them.

Whole thing is a nightmare, glad I am no fan... Lived in Elyria for a long time. We all know the Southeast Football is better right NOW...

Ohio State should not be in and with 5D showing those odds, it means OSU is in... They get the inside info. TCU should be in, if not Baylor. OSUs loss is much worse than all. I think Wisc. rolled over for the Conf. It means a lot going forward for the Big10 to have a team in...

The hole thing is sad....If it were back in the BCS FSU would be #1 right now based on No loss. Yet, they have been preparing for this situation. Also think they prayed someone loss yesterday.

Pathetic

I am thinking it will be Ohio State, if for no other reason it gives the committee an escape route over the whole head to head dilemma between TCU and Baylor.  They can avoid that whole debate.

TCU has no argument, they lost head to head vs Baylor, TCU shouldn't even be in the discussion. NFL playoff #1 tie breaker is head to head results for a reason.....because it makes sense!!! It will be Ohio ST or Baylor, that is the only decision to make. Personally I think Ohio St is the better team out of those 3.
