OT - Hypothetical playoff scenario

Submitted by reddogrjw on

Had this discussion with co-workers - thought it might be an interesting topic here.

 

Let's say FSU and LSU are undefeated (both go to the playoff), Pac12 champ and Notre Dame both have 2 losses - they are out.

 

Michigan runs the table - 13-0 - they are in

 

Ohio State's only loss is a 10 point loss to Michigan, which means they beat OU earlier in the season

 

Who gets the 4th spot - 11-1 Ohio State (who beat OU) or 11-1 OU who won their conference?

 

 

add edit - every other team in the country (including Alabama) has 2 or more losses for the sake of this argument

 

edit #2 - does your opinion vary depending on if OSU blows out OU (by 21+)?
