Even if Ohio state doesn't get to play Saturday, and they don't get to play against Northwestern in the championship game, they will still be in the playoff. They will be paired against Iowa on the 19th which is virtually the same as playing Northwestern in the committee's eyes. A 6-0 Ohio State will get in unless they win ugly against the Hawkeyes. The only way they are possibly left out is if Florida beats Bama and Notre Dame beats Clemson again. Pretty unlikely. I'm with Knap - I want us to play Minnesota. They are plenty of challenge for us right now.
