Lets go disaster scenario: 

Ole Miss > MSU (ntmsu) 

UF > FSU 

Auburn > Alabama 

Then the final four will be TCU Baylor Oregon and...  either OSU (depending on Barrett being healthy) or SEC winner (with potential of 3 losses)

would fall to the bottom of the one-loss teams.

But the ACC swept the SEC in early games, with Ga Tech beating Georgia, Clemson beating South Carolina, and Louisville beating Kentucky.  So in my book, the ACC just climbed out of 5th place among the Power 5 leagues. Barrett hurt versus a late season FSU loss?  I dunno.

Anyway, I think OSU needs at least 3 losses elsewhere to get into the playoffs.  I'm guessing that the committee is placing Baylor behind OSU only because Baylor is presently the 2nd-rated Big 12 team.  If TCU were to lose to Iowa State (unlikely barring massive choke), then Baylor would jump OSU (& TCU) with a win over Texas Tech today (leading 21-10) and K-State next week.

OSU needs losses to get into the playoff. Nobody is going to be impressed by two wins over a 4-loss Minnesota team.

Just wanted to let it be known that the vaunted SEC is now 0-3 against the ACC today and is down in the 4th game as well against FSU. lol.

If Bama goes to the SEC title game, Miss States only real argument over similar one loss teams OSU and TCU/Baylor is that they are ESS-EEE-CEE. The SEC East champion lost to Indiana. Now several teams are losing or have lost to their ACC rivals. MSU's foundation is eroding on them. It's going to very tight between MSU-TCU-OSU if everything holds

Just curious when the last time Minnesota won the conference?  Still an eternity in that game but I could see either Wiscy or Minnesota giving OSu all it can handle.

Our conf champion losing 30-7 to TCU would be very appropriate :)

ND is the fraud I figured they were by the North Carolina game - ASU and USC both exposing them.  They get the same type of recruits we and OSU get - it continues to show me a 4 star in the Midwest is a 3 star in the south or west.

So is Golson basically Gardner? Got rave reviews. After being with QB gurus. Then had great games early in the year. Then eventually get yanked after an insane amount of turnovers.

This will be Kelly 3rd season with at least 5 losses and he also has a 4 loss season.  Other than the fluke national title beat down at the hands of Alabama Kelly's teams have been mediocore.

3rd and 2 in Wisc. territory Minn fumbles then gives up a pass setting up a FG (17-13 Minn)

FSU gets punt blocked and Florida scores a TD on next play with 50 seconds to go in half. (FSU 21-16)

Michigan State has managed their 13 points with only 122 yards offense - they are legitimately being hounded by PSU's defense on series and it is nice to see. I doubt PSU wins this, but they might make the Spartans earn it.

Give Ole Miss credit - no Treadwell and playing Miss State very tough.  The best team money can buy.  Allegedly.  Looked at some mock drafts for next year and the year after and it is littered with Ole Miss players in the first few rounds.
