Penn State up to No. 7 in most recent CFP Poll

After that, a hodgepodge of two-loss teams – including Wisconsin, Penn State, No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 9 Colorado, No. 10 Oklahoma State – could jump up the CFP rankings.

It could all be a moot point if that scenario doesn’t unfold, but it would also be a situation the committee hasn’t had to deal with yet, as there has not been a team worth considering that didn’t win a conference title. Herbstreit said that there are two teams no one in the country wants to play right now – Alabama and USC. There was some shift in the first two out after Louisville lost to unranked Houston this past week and other teams are making their final push to be in the postseason conversation. The Tigers’ next two games are against unranked teams. For this year, aside from the two teams’ traditional rivalry, the outcome of the upcoming game will also determine the playoff fate of these squads. Kirby Hocutt said. “We do not”.

No intrigue in Nos. Oklahoma. Then we’d be forced to watch Oklahoma play Bama in the Peach Bowl, and I’d have an excuse to go to the Clermont.

But after 60 minutes of play, the game finished with a 10-all tie. The Crimson Tide have been on a different level for much of this season, however, and should stay undefeated heading into the SEC Championship in Atlanta. MI is the only team that controls its destiny with a win, but could be playing Saturday without injured quarterback Wilton Speight.

MI has beaten No. 6 Wisconsin, No. 7 Penn State and No. 9 Colorado.

Which means Penn State’s hopes for reaching the CFP could come down to how its resume stacks up against Washington. Michigan, however, would be in by running the table.

If Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma in Week 14, they will be Big 12 champions.

The Sooners enter the Bedlam showdown with a ideal 8-0 conference record – they are 9-2 overall with losses to Houston and Ohio State – and the Cowboys have just one loss in eight conference games. If the bowl matchups were made today, Alabama would face Clemson in one semifinal game and Ohio State would play MI in the other.

The wind blew down Ohio State’s passing attack last week against Michigan State, but the Buckeyes escaped with a 17-16 win.

Last week: Beat Wake Forest 35-13.

Watch out for Colorado – The Buffs are coming off a win against now-No. I thought the Cardinals had a chance to tumble down into the late ‘teens, but the committee is still placing high value on Bobby Petrino’s squad. “We spent a lot of time on those teams”. If they make it through that gauntlet, would that push the Buffs ahead of OU?

Is there a team ranked in the teens with a chance?

“The committee has been very impressed with Wisconsin from the LSU game up to the current week in the season”. O’Korn was 7 of 16 yards for just 59 yards, the fewest yards passing for MI since John Navarre threw for 58 in a win over Wisconsin on November 17, 2001. Keep that in mind, although plenty of football remains, of course. “We appreciate all your support all year and we’ll get it done on Saturday”. His seven special teams tackles are good for second on the team. The subjectivity in this process is overwhelming. Even after the loss to unranked Penn State, the quarterback insisted no big changes were necessary and the offense was on track.
