1. Again, this is college football. Any team could lose on a given Saturday.
OSU could have lost this weekend as 21 point favorites.
I don’t think you’d ever consider BYU and Cincy as shoes in to be undefeated.
Bama still has to play Florida and a rival.
2. If UNC wins out, they’ll ranked in the top 10 team. This could be a very “good” loss.
3. What’s to say the committee doesn’t view ND with two wins over Clemson and it’s only loss on the road to a top 10 team as more deserving than undefeated OSU?
Obviously you want to win Friday, but there is a lot of football left to be played.
