No, not with two losses -- Here's how I see this thing -- by irishdemon

Oklahoma St.'s potential 1-loss conference championship season is the juice that'll propel them into the final four.

Any B12 champ with 2-losses, whether it would have been Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. or Baylor would have fallen short.

Alabama is the only potential 2-loss team that could still make it.

I don't *think* Ohio St. still has a shot - but let's see -- if say, the committee drops them from #2 to #6 on Tuesday and drops us to #7 with Oklahoma St. being #5 - then Ohio St. would be still be in play - needing help of course and we'd be finished.

If Ohio St. drops below ND, they're finished. Honestly, I expect that to happen.

As for Alabama, I would hope their performance yesterday damaged their resume enough that if they lose to Georgia they wouldn't get in over Notre Dame but I'm still not confident of that. I know many disagree but whatever.

I still think the clear path for ND - one that takes the 2-loss Alabama/Committee crap out of play is, assuming Michigan beats Iowa, is for Houston to beat Cincinnati and for Baylor to beat Oklahoma St. If that happens we'll be in the playoffs. Also, if that happens, it doesn't matter who wins the Alabama-Georgia game - we'll still be in.
