A ridiculous scenario in which Ohio State can still make it to the National Championship game.
Here is how it could happen: Ohio State currently sits 7th in the BCS standing with West Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Oregon and Louisiana State in front of them.
1) #7 Ohio State beats Michigan (preferably convincingly)
2) #6 West Virginia loses at Cincinnati or to Pittsburgh in the backyard brawl.
3) #1 LSU loses to Arkansas or in the SEC championship game (Georgia or Tennessee)
4) #2 Oregon loses at Arizona or in the Civil War to Oregon State
5) Now it gets confusing with the three Big 12 teams. Most likely #4 Oklahoma will be playing either # 3 Kansas or #5 Mizzou in the Big 12 championship. All three of these teams will need to lose one game. There are a few possible ways this could happen.
Scenario 1: Oklahoma loses to Oklahoma state and then comes back to beat an undefeated Kansas in the Big 12 CG.
Scenario 2: Oklahoma wins out. Mizzou loses to Kansas State. Kansas loses to Mizzou. Kansas beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 CG.
Scenario 3: Kansas loses to Iowa State. Oklahoma loses to Oklahoma State. Mizzou wins out, but loses to Oklahoma in the Big 12 CG.
Confused? Good so am I. I read over that Big 12 thing 4 times and am still not sure if it works out right, but for the sake of argument lets say it does.
Now if the first four things happen OSU would likely move up to #2 and #1 would likely come from the survivor of the Big 12 disaster.
With as crazy as this season has been there is an outside chance of something like this happening. First and foremost OSU must beat Michigan this weekend and then sit back and watch the carnage of the rest of the college football landscape.
One last thing, if OSU and Arizona State lose one more game each and all of that other crap up there happens we could have a two loss team playing for the national title. How crazy would that be? Good luck picking what 2 loss team would be most deserving.
Playoff! Playoff! Playoff!
