Well, this sure isn’t going to make Alabama and LSU fans happy, but the facts are the facts. OSU is a hell of a football team, and probably won’t a game in single digits the rest of the way.

They’re going to roll through the B1G and into the playoff. As I always say, getting to the playoff is half the battle.

The Buckeyes won’t have any issue at all getting there.

The oddsmakers are pretty much saying this is a three team race at this point. It’s LSU, OSU, Clemson and then everybody else.

There’s such a huge drop off after there that it’s hard to see any team not mentioned above winning it. Could you imagine an LSU/OSU title game?

That’d be ratings gold. The entire sports world would show up and show out for that matchup.

Alabama being down the list might provide a huge bargain pick, but the reality of the situation is they probably won’t even get in.

If the Crimson Tide get into the playoff, then all bets are off. I just don’t see it happening after LSU took them down.

I could be wrong, but I’ll stick by my rapid reaction.
