There are 2 games left in the regular season. These will decide where teams are positioned for the conference championships (or who won the conference).

And then the bowl season hit. Last I read there are around 40 bowl games. But the 3 bowl games in the playoffs are what most people focus on.

Who do you think will win the conferences and who will be in the top 4 spots?
 
I am curious how Wisconsin will do in their final 2 games.

And I am hoping my Crimson Tide shores up the holes in the defense by the time we play auburn.

well I wouldn’t count Minnesota out but they should win but OSU will be the Cheeseheads biggest challenge this year so far.

I bought my tickets to the Big 10 Championship game last August so I’m looking forward to the game.

Mott, I'm curious what you predict in the OSU v. Wisconsin game.

I’m not. OSU has shown the can play at a very high level and that they can get curb stomped.

For the next two weeks I’ll be a Bama fan and for OSU to get in Bama needs to win their next two games and knock GA and Auburn out of the mix. If Miami wins out that would probably knock out Clemson and OSU would have to beat MI and Wisconsin and they would probably be selected. If Bama loses to either GA or Auburn then OSU is probably out no matter what they do.

However the playoffs situation will work itself out and I sure hope the committee doesn’t make the mistake it made last year and pick a team who didn’t win their conference championship.

I’m just glad I’ll get to see OSU play in Indy next week. We already have a suite booked in DowtIndy and reservations at St. Elmos one of the best Steak Houses in the Country.

The Buckeyes have the talent to win it all but the predictability of their offense and their horrible special teams play has to be fixed (it appears the personnel changes after the IA game have worked) and JT needs to show up with his A game. OSU’s three headed monster running game sure looks formidable.

Well Clemson, OK, WI, Auburn, Miami and GA are the only teams to have their fate in their own hands. If they win their conference championship games they are in. TCU and OSU need to win and Alabama needs both OSU and TCU to win and all three have to hope they are selected. If TCU wins and OSU loses (or vice versa) Alabama will be leap frogged by one or the other but Bama need both OK and Wisconsin to lose.

That's why I'm rooting for OK and Wisconsin to win. If they both win, then they are in. The winners of the ACC and SEC get-in regardless of outcome, I think.

You are correct. If that happens it all works out equitably. So far the playoff committee has only made one bad choice and that was OSU last year.

Ohio State,won't get the benefit of the doubt like last year.
Because last year Clemson pounded Ohio State,and JT stunk up the joint.

Yea.....I heard the same malarky the first year of the playoff. I seem to remember a certain team from Ohio won that one. Yes....OSU did not deserve to be selected last year. Time will tell but they may win their conference championship and since the Big 10 is the toughest conference in the nation, this year, then if they do win the Big 10 and are selected...they will have earned. Regardless of what any of the haters say.

I agree. If they win the Big10 this year they should be in the playoffs.

I am not expect Bama to be in the playoffs. If something weird happens and they get there, I will cheer my ass off for them. But right now I am expecting to play in a bowl game.
 
It felt like David Shaw was more interested in getting Love to 2000 yards rushing than in winning the damn PAC-12. A byproduct of the NCAA crowning their favorite 2015 RB instead of awarding the Heisman to the best player, I'm sure...
