This is what I said earlier. All the big predictors seem to believe OSU and Michigan are in regardless of how the game turned out today. We will have to see after championship week. 

It’s all in how they lost is the issue; which most commentators mentioned pregame would determine if the loser makes the playoffs.
 

Assuming no tomfoolery, and who should win, wins it’ll be UGA, Michigan, TCU, USC. OSU only gets in if there are some upsets; and me thinks that upset is Notre Dame at USC.

I’m not so sure. Is a loss to the #3 team in the country worse than USC losing to Utah? And USC beat Oregon State 17-14, Arizona 45-37, UCLA 48-45. They have been in much tighter games all season really. It could be a toss up and I would be ok with either one getting in. 

Well a USC conf champion gets in over OSU.  Just my opinion 

I mean Ohio St was blown out at home

USC has been in tight games and won, that’s what good teams do. They win. OSU won some close games as well. 
 

The issue with the Michigan loose is the way in which it happened; had it ended in the 3rd quarter I would say OSU would have a chance to make the playoffs.
 

But the forth quarter; when Michigan re-enacted the scene from Temple of Doom where that dude gets his heart ripped out in the cage and it starts to burn as the caged is lowered into the lava does not bode well for OSU.

That QB for Michigan is going to be even better next year and Stroud will be gone plus it will be at Michigan. Michigan may win 3 in a row against them.

I've seen a couple of promising young qb's this weekend. Some of these wonderboys didn't look so hot this weekend either.

 I kept telling folks to let it play out. The games are getting harder as the championships approach.  You will see who handles the pressure in the end.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
