I only have three wishes:
1. Ohio State win by at least 14 points.
2. Pittsburgh over Miami
3. Ou lose
The one nobody seems to be talking about is the Ohio St. game. The Big 10 is perceived to be very, very strong at the top, so if Ohio St. messes up and even plays a very close game and wins by less than 4 points, that hurts our chances, I think. The big 10 would lobby super hard to put Michigan above Texas.
Not concerned about Vandy or Alabama at all. Even though 'bama probably loses to Georgia and remains right there with us in the final numbers, we would not play them until the 2nd week of the playoffs. Since we have head to head against Vandy they are not a factor.
OU is 1-2 against top 10 teams, played us, Ole Miss, and Alabama.
I like us in the #12 position, playing at Tech. That would be fun. Big 12 against SEC.
After we beat Tech, we most likely have to go up against 'bama. Wow! Tuesday night is going to be fun.
