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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
