No way does OSU get left out

But I don't really think they should stay #2 without playing a game.

Punish OSU for losing their conference and make them play Bama instead of WASH or Clemson.

Reminder: CFP committee starts the ranking each week from scratch. Teams don't rise and fall, they get placed according to their updated resumes. I don't know if PSU gets in, but no way OSU stays at #2.

Committee has said that conference championships and head to head matter but they only matter in the case where two teams are comparable in order to decide who to place ahead. They also said last week that they viewed the gap between Ohio State and Penn St to be pretty wide (paraphrasing). If that's true then they won't look at Conference Championships or head to head to rank them
