Hypothetical - Ohio State over USC
Yep, and I think it's going to happen.
USC is going to get better as the season goes on and beat some quality teams. Meanwhile, tOSU can say they beat USC. They will be undefeated because of their pathetic schedule, and no one can rightfully leave them out, especially since there won't be 2 other teams (probably not even one) that are undefeated.
I think it's going to be interesting because I see it playing out like this:
tOSU - undefeated
either Texas or OU - 1 loss
ESS EE SHEE Champion - 1 or 2 losses
USC - 1 or 2 losses.
You have to put in tOSU v. the Big XII winner, but everyone will want to see the Big XII v. SEC winner. And tOSU will be curbstomped by whomever they end up playing. Meanwhile, USC will whine some more about how they deserve to be in (and to their credit, they will at that time be a better team than tOSU)
