Listening to SiriusMX 84 a lot (I love that channel) and they have been saying the committee puts a huge premium on winning your conference. If that is really the case then that is why I am saying it will be hard for OSU to go in ahead of Wisconsin/Penn State. I'm not saying OSU doesn't deserve to be there - they do, but at the same time the committee has to follow the guidelines it was given, it cannot just select any four teams it feels like. Or at least that is the impression I am getting.

Edit:
I'm thinking the committee is praying for Washington and Oklahoma to both lose next week and there are no other upsets. That gives them an easy out to put in OSU and also the Big 10 winner. Alabama and Clemson are the other two who will be there barring. Michigan has to 100% be out now, there is no possible justification for putting them in ahead of a Big 10 winner now.
