If we beat FSU and Bama to end the season we deserve to get in, I don't care we've played all year. I feel that way because I feel Bama is the best team in the country right now (as usual).
Yep. They're the only team that just "stands out" against whatever competition they face.
I tortured myself with Michigan State vs pOSU after our game and I felt like I was watching a Pop Warner game. Sluggish, defenses ok, not great. Offenses ok, not great.
For all the Barrett, Elliott, Braxton Miller hype, Ohio State laid a turd Saturday against the only halfway decent team they've played.
Underwhelming.
I've watched Oklahoma 2 weeks in a row, and although they've beaten a couple of decent teams, you get the sense they're going to crap the bed against Okie State.
The only thing that jumps off the page about Oklahoma is how damned tough Baker Mayfield is.
Out of the teams that are left standing, Bama is the only one that looks like it could manhandle every other team if they played a round robin, including us.
So if we manage to beat FSU and then Bama, I don't care if the score is 3-0, 2-0, 3-2, or 50-0, that's all the eye test the playoff committee will need.
