One Loss OU is in the playoff. One Loss TCU is out of the playoff. Sucks, but true. When we lost to Iowa State we missed our chance. I hope I am wrong.
You wanted the playoffs? You got it.

My brain can only manage to process a playoff selection that includes 1 loss teams.
My brain will explode if it's a bunch of 2 loss teams. I'll waive the white flag for that.

True to you. It's definitely not a fact, far from it.

I hope you are correct sir. Just too many blue bloods with one loss teams for my liking.

It will eventually work its way out.
Every team in the top 10 will be playing/eliminating each other except for Washington and Wisconsin- goes to show how bad their schedule is.
Keep winning and there is still a good chance for TCU.

I live in Tulsa so I hear non stop OU and OSU talk daily....Here's some perspective
Ty has been called a cheap shot artist up here every day since that hit on Baker. Local radio says a Sooner win out is the only chance the Big 12 has to get in the playoff. Consensus is the Frogs low profile works against us and is why we wouldn't get in against other 1 loss teams. Lot of Patterson respect but it's always dispensed in a condescending blue blood manner. Surprisingly most seem to be aware the Frogs are the most physical team they will have seen all year...
The same formula we used to slow down the OK St offense and consequently what was used by Iowa St agains OU..Be physical, control clock, limit Bakers opportunities by shortening the game..finally we can't beat ourselves with penalties and turnovers.

I'm not sure you know what 'controlling their own destiny' means. Your scenario relies on Wisconsin losing... which means, the Big 12 doesn't control our own destiny. And even if Wisco does lose, you ignore a one loss SEC runner-up. Sucks to be the odd man out but that's what happes when you lose to Iowa State (our blood isn't as blue as OU's).
I will forever believe that Wisky laid down to let OSU into the CFP ahead of us in 2014. They are owed one now from the other side of their conference.

Weird as it sounds, we need Miami to win out and beat Clemson..Give them the ACC playoff spot and bury ND and Clemson along the way..Then it will likely come down to TCU, 1 loss Whisky (assuming they loose a Conf champ game) and a PAC Champ. I like our chances against those 2 and I think we all know that the SEC is going to get two teams in..

Barring any major injuries, the Big 10 champ resides in the East. If only 1 of Penn St and OSU lost, they would be fine. Both losing really hurt the big 10.
It's either ND or 2 SEC teams. They are NOT leaving out 3 P5 conference champs.
The Big 10 has 1 foot out the door and the Pac 12 is good as out already.
Again, this is with a bunch of 1 loss teams and no further chaos... which is doubtful.
Just...keep... winning!

We don't control our own destiny (nobody with a loss does), but there's a very, very good chance if we win out we're a playoff team. For us to not be, the outcome of almost every game that matters from here on out will have to go against us. I don't think there's any way the loser of the SEC CCG makes it ahead of a 1-loss Big 12 champ, Washington can't pass us, and if Notre Dame loses a game that knocks them out.
The only scenario where we'd be in trouble is if Wisconsin, Clemson and Notre Dame all run the table. I would say the odds of that are pretty low.
The biggest thing is for Notre Dame to lose. If Miami beats Notre Dame then ACC Championship game would essentially be a play-in, just like the SEC CCG is looking like. That opens the door wide open for the Big 12.

I like our Line to get after BM and limit his play extending ability.

I do too but we are not doing that all night.
What we need is to lockdown their WR's and prevent Baker from scrambling.
The longer he is back there, the higher our line's chances are of getting to him.

Sounds good on paper but I don't like our chances of getting in over a 1 loss SEC/ACC team. I really think if GA and Bama win out they both go regardless of who wins in the SEC champ game
This might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on kfc, and amazingly, you're not the only one who believes this. To think a team would lay down and get their ass kicked by a conference rival in order to give that conference rival a spot in the playoffs is beyond dumb.
Not gonna happen that two SEC teams are in ahead of a 1-loss Big 12 team. There'd be mutiny. Although the case could be made for it, I just don't see it happening. As much as its feasible, they'll want the bids to be spread across as many conferences as possible.
