FSU down to QB3?!?!

Not over Texas. Especially if Bama beats Georgia.

Yeah, it's not like last year where there's one team between OSU and the playoffs; they've got to see FSU lose, Texas, lose, and Alabama to lose before they're in the conversation, and then we're still arguing about 1-loss teams comparing resumes.

FSU loses and I think OSU is in the catbird seat.

The only way ohio state makes it into the CFP is chaos. 

• I'm assuming Michigan wins - UM losing by far the most unlikely scenario. But osu wants Michigan to lose for reasons but also because they might could possibly jump 12-1 Michigan (not really, but insert Dumb and Dumber meme here). 
• ohio state really wants Washington to win, as 12-1 UW could potentially end up ahead of 11-1 osu in the rankings. 
• UGA has to win which eliminates Bama b/c UGA losing sees Alabama jumping ohio state and 12-1 UGA probably stays ahead of 11-1 ohio st. 

That's 3 slots set and osu would be looking at that 4th slot. 

• Texas has to lose. If UT wins, a 12-1 conference champ definitely jumps ohio state in the rankings and likely ends up in the CFP. 

In summary, if I'm a buckeye, I need Washington to win, UGA to win, Texas to lose, and FSU to lose. Michigan losing still probably has them ahead of the buckeyes, but I'm sure they'd just love to see it anyway. 

It would have to be utter chaos for OSU to get in. The following individual game scenarios likely trump OSU

• Michigan win
• Georgia win
• FSU win
• Texas win
• Washington win
• Oregon win
• Washington close loss
• Alabama win
• Georgia loss
• Michigan close loss

So basically SEC/PAC 12 get at least 2 spots over OSU and M might also get preference over OSU if Texas/FSU both loss

If Georgia wins and all of FSU/Texas/Oregon/Michigan lose, I guess there is a possibility, but OSU isn't passing Texas if they win, nor either Bama/Georgia if Bama wins

Sorry, but this is flat wrong.

Fan Duel is still offering 18-1 on OSU making the playoffs. FSU is only favored by 1.5, so they are not the only team blocking OSU's path. They also need Texas to lose and Bama to lose. They still might not get in if Washington loses a close game. 

I think a 1 loss Washington or a 1 loss Georgia get in over a one loss team that spent the weekend on the couch. 

That logic doesn't apply to FSU because of the QB issue, and because their one loss would be a team demonstrably worse than Alabama or Oregon.

How would a 11-1 OSU that is sitting at home this weekend get in over a 12-1 UGA that played in the SEC championship game (and is also the defending national champ)? 11W might be able to figure out some mental gymnastics to justify it, but there is no way the committee would do that.

If FSU goes out there tomorrow and wins 59-0, then they have nothing to worry about. People forget that Cardale and OSU absolutely crushed #3 Wisconsin in the B1G title game to erase any concerns about them.

Exactly!  They were up by two scores by the end of the second quarter, and won that game 58-13.  The fact that they scored 58 points in three quarters with their backup quarteback is actually an argument in FSU's favor (even while admitting the weak competition).
