Well, wicki says they can get 60k in Autzen, but wait, the first four teams get byes and move directly into the bowl game round so the size of Autzen does not matter.
CFP Reveal Day is here!

Also their "wonderful and classy" fans tried to tear down our goal posts in 1996 after OSU struggled to beat us. Those people have no respect for anything. I used to work with a friend who was an OSU fan, and he could not defend their behavior, especially those who have caps and hunting jackets.
If they lose to Ohio St/IU in the B10 championship they will be.
Which is why I chose my words carefully "as long as they can" Oregon may not play at home @ 1-4 but they could not be kept out of 5-8 if they drop a game.
The NCAA has to always overthink things.
If you are giving the top 4 seeds byes just give them to the top four teams.
Why do they have to be conference champions?
Nothing against BYU,they are similar to our situation but they shouldn’t get a bye over a team who is ranked higher just because they won a conference.
Just my opinion,I’m sure there is a reason they do it this way but I just think it confuses things.

The NCAA has nothing to do with the CFP
I think the NCAA will have nothing to do with college football very soon. It's moving towards a system that will look more like the NFL and will require a football specific commissioner to oversee everything. Plus, the NCAA is incompetent, so there's that.
His style would never display it. He's developed the chip on the shoulder attitude and needs no props.
Did they talk about PSU being rated so high? I can't come up with any justification for them to be rated higher than IU. I can see Tennessee, but not PSU. Metrics, eye test, similar opponents...there isn't any justification.
And it sucks, because just like preseason polls create bias on rankings as the year wears on...so do the initial CFP rankings.
We obviously have everything in front of us. If we win out, it doesn't matter. Where it does matter though, a lot, is if we lose at OSU. Even if we lose by less points AT Ohio State, versus what PSU did to them at home...this initial ranking sets the stage for IU to drop well below PSU if that loss happens.
When the entire regular season plays out, if IU is 11-1, with a competitive loss in the shoe...I hope the committee gets blasted by pundits if PSU is ranked higher than IU.

They already pretty much have nothing to do with it, other than the rules. That's it.
If Penn St wins out,we end with one loss and Ohio St beats Oregon in the Conference Championship game there would be 4 teams with one loss.
I highly doubt the committee takes 33% of 12 teams from one conference.
If that’s the case,it’s pretty obvious who will draw the short straw.
To remove all doubt we need to beat OSU or Penn St needs to lose another game.

Just beat Michigan. All we have to do is go 1-0 three more times.
