Now its up to the committee
Championship Saturday is officially over and essentially everything went according to plan. Alabama, Clemson, and Washington all won so you assume they get the nod into the playoff. Now the debate that’s going to come out of today is what they do with the Big Ten. I think most people agree Ohio State will probably get in and Penn State will find themselves on the outside. If that happens, that’s a precedent set for the future that you can win your conference and still not make the final four. There are people out there who do think Penn State will get in over OSU. The committee has surprised us before, so I wouldn’t be too shocked. I guess we’ll find out tonight.

Even with Big Ten championship, Penn State not very likely to make #CFP, acc. to @FiveThirtyEight projections https://t.co/9rUcjAGgWw pic.twitter.com/Rdryg5UjUb
