As someone that spent the weekend in Columbus and drives back to Ann Arbor tomorrow….I am very excited to break out my osu hat on Monday.

Go bucks!

They should feel very lucky for that win today.

Buckeyes will be lucky if they don't get jumped by Auburn before it's all said and done

They won't let a bcs game go by without an SEC team.  Ohio state didn't help themselves with the nail bitter against a weaker Michigan team

[bagley920]

The Michigan game today and the fact that they have beaten only 1 team still in the top 25

If Auburn beats Mizzou, another top 10 team, I believe they will jump OSU

The Iron Bowl today was the greatest football game I've ever seen.

Chris and tigerpac:

It's true….osu may have own but they didn't walk out looking like champions.

Are you a big osu fan adam? You're always giving the O-H: classic ohio state fashion to go undefeated and blow it. Happens every time

Any thoughts on the committee's selection today?

Personally, I think they made the right decision, but I do feel for the Big XII contenders.

For me, the silver lining is this pushes us closer to an inevitable 8 team, featuring 5 conference champions, 2 at-larges, and a contender from a conference outside the Power 5 (think Boise).

Prediction: Tide v. Quack – with the Ducks scoring enough to hoist the new hardware.

The Big 12 isn't a very good conference and I'm not really sure either Baylor or TCU deserve to be in the playoffs.  And I say this as someone who has watched a lot of Big 12 football over the last several years.

I'm just waiting for a 16 team playoff system like they're been doing forever in I-AA.

[seanocono]

I can't give an educated opinion on the Big XII because I haven't watched them as much as I should have. From what I've seen, they look top heavy like most conferences.

I love the idea of a 16, however, but I doubt it will ever happen. As it is, an 8 would most likely require the sacrifice of a non-conference game; which equates to losing a lot of cash for most programs.

The current system has the season ending ~1/8. The concern is most Spring semesters start around that time, and if additional games were to be added, then the season could encroach on a second semester. This could have negative financial, and, realistically, eligibility ramifications.
