Based on what?

Wisconsin could conceivably fall behind Fla, Auburn and Bama with a big loss. The problem with that is how do you then penalize Ohio State at the same time for a big win? Penn State isn't going to fall which would then by their best win, so I'm not sure the previous statement can be correct.

The Polls.

Wisconsin will fall behind Alabama assuming it gets a 3rd loss this weekend, so using the AP Poll LSU will have wins over:

~7 UGA
~7 Florida
~10 Auburn
~11 Alabama

And then Ohio State will have its best win over Penn State or Wisconsin, which will both be around 13.

For the Playoff Committee, it will look like:

~7 UGA
~8 Florida
~10 Auburn
~12 Alabama

And Ohio State's best win will be ~9 Penn State, behind two of LSU's wins, and its second best win will be behind 4 LSU wins.

How does Auburn jump Penn State with both teams idle?

And Wisconsin won't fall our of the Top 10 like UGA didnt fall last year.

They'll fall out of the top 10 in both the AP and Coaches' Polls, but the retards on the committee won't drop them, so it won't hurt OSU.

Well, only one of those polls means anything unfortunately.

You really think a 3 loss Wisconsin stays ahead of a 2-loss Alabama? Either Wisconsin gets smoked again, in which case it would be indefensible to have a team that lost 3 games by a combined 60+ points over a 2-loss team that lost by less than a TD each time, or Wisconsin keeps it competitive (or wins), in which case Ohio State isn't as dominant/complete as the Committee has claimed in justifying its position.

And I didn't have Auburn over Penn State, I said Penn State would be behind UGA and Florida at around 9th.

UGA had 2 losses and was ahead of 1 loss conference champion Ohio State last year. The CFP has been prone to not punish teams for earning to play an extra game.

UGA lost by a TD scored in the last minute of the game against the #1 seed.

If Wisconsin keeps this a one score game then this whole discussion is moot because the #1 seed is going to LSU.

And if Wisconsin gets annihilated there's just no way to justify keeping them over teams that haven't lost multiple games by 5 scores.

We'll see. But I doubt that happens.

Good luck on Saturday.

I want LSU in the CFP final.

The AP Poll and Coaches polls are worthless. They still consider Texas a Top 10 win.

But, here's the rub, what reason is there to move OSU down if they annihilate the #8 team?

The only games Wisconsin lost by 5 scores were to Ohio State, which would probably also beat any of those other teams by a good bit too. Would be unfair to Wisconsin.
