That's OSU over Washington in all three, and nothing that's happening this week is going to change that. Computers aren't known for emotional or strategic "we don't want this team to be top 4" thinking.

I feel like announcers are willfully stupid. If Washington goes undefeated they are in. Regardless of their SOS. Would losing to a good team have helped the more than beating Rutgers? I doubt it. Apparently beating UCLA in OT is all you need to do to be impressive out of conference

I am re-thinking OSU jumping Washington a little right now...but we still have another half to go. 

If the final ends up something like 55-20, probably no jumping. Say something like 45-30, though, and OSU likely jumps UW and takes the 4th playoff spot, at least for now.

IMO, Washington will not be jumped by OSU this week. I think they've shown enough to take that 4 spot. Plus, much unlike OSU, they will still be undefeated. 

I got em like this -- note this is what I think will happen, not necessarily what I think should happen. I'd put Michigan second, personally.

1. Bama

2. Clemson

3. Michigan

4. Washington

 

5. OSU
