Looks likely our OB opponent will be wisky.....

Osu is not a possibility as an earlier post stated. Taint is conf champ, so they aren't a possibility.

So there is no way we're playing Ohio St. If Alabama does not make the playoff, then it will be Alabama.

Assuming Alabama makes the playoff, the choices are Wisconsin, Penn St., and Auburn. I don't see how the committee could drop Wisconsin below Penn St. Auburn could stay ahead of Wisconsin.

I think we will play Auburn.
 
Wis is a lot better matchup , bama dl would obliterate our ol. Either way I doubt we score much

I think Wisconsin with one loss will be ranked highest.

Although auburn definitely has a case especially if Bama makes the top 4 making 3 playoff teams played in a single season. I think 3 losses will be too much to overcome no matter who played.

Could have sworn I read/heard somewhere that in years when the Rose Bowl is a CFP Semi-Final, the B1G and PAC-12 Champs will play in the Fiesta, which would leave us facing Wisky. But, I can't find that reference right now. All I keep finding is that outside of the OB, the rest of the NY6 games are "at-large" bids. If that is the case, wtf knows whats going to happen. We'll find out later today.

We will not play osu regardless. CFP selection process mandates that we play the highest ranked BIG10 or SEC team that is not in the CFP and that is NOT A CONFERENCE CHAMPION. Osu won their conf championship, so they cannot play in the Orange Bowl. If Bama makes the playoff, we would face Wisky or Auburn—whoever is ranked higher.

Hopefully Wisconsin. OSU or Bama would embarrass this team.

Alabama is no Clemson this year. Their QB is less accurate than Rosier, so to me they are very beatable at The Rock by this team

Their DL will bully our OL just like Clemson did. Their secondary is better than Clemson’s. Their running game is better than Clemson’s. Trust me, the game would be a lot like last night. A team very overmatched.
