Our OL is a complete wreck, and we had a few flukish special teams plays. I definitely don't feel as well about them as I did before, but at least for now, it still looks like the OSU-UM game will be a play-in game for the playoffs.

Are you referring to the same team that lost to Michigan 49-10? :stirthepot:Rat":2t29o4o3 said:IndyHawk":2t29o4o3 said:Thats the case with both teams with a loss?I really don't see that if there is a few unbeatensRat":2t29o4o3 said:This is probably hypocritical for me to say as a Seahawks fan, but the Buckeyes got screwed over pretty bad by a late non-call an obvious PI.

There are never as many unbeatens as it looks like around midseason. There will probably be only one or two. I can't see the Big 10 champion being left out with just one loss. It's not like they're going to put in schools like Boise State and Western Michigan instead.
The Buckeyes lost to Virginia Tech the year they won the playoff. That was much worse than the Penn State loss (it was at home to a fringe bowl team) If they win out, that'll be wins over Oklahoma, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and whoever the opponent in the Championship Game is (probably Wisconsin or Northwestern). That's not going to miss the playoffs because of one road loss to a good team.

It definitely wasn't a team OSU should have lost to, but it's not a playoff eliminator. If they win out, they're guaranteed to go to the playoff. How the loss hurts the Buckeyes most is that it takes away the margin for error. If they have an off week against someone like Nebraska or Northwestern it basically ends them.
