The Pac-12 is in real playoff trouble now for sure.  Have to hope Oklahoma beats TCU, but even if they do, OU's win over Ohio State is going to loom large. 

A 1-loss OU goes to playoff over any 1-loss Pac-12 team.
A 1-loss Clemson (who beat Auburn OOC) goes to playoff over any 1-loss Pac-12 team.
The SEC winner will be in for sure.

As for the B1G, Wisconsin's schedule is worse and a bigger joke than Washington's, but they will get most likely PSU or Ohio State in championship game.  PSU has Michigan, Ohio State, and Michigan State the next three weeks.  Ohio State got rolled by OU, and Michigan does have a win over Florida.

Southern Cal cannot afford a loss to ND this week under any circumstances. But I will be rooting against them because I always do!

Stanford's odds of getting into the playoff are essentially nil, so why do we care? What difference does it make to us if some other team goes and gets murdered by Alabama? I suppose that gives us somewhat greater odds of making a NY6 bowl, but with 3 losses I just don't see that happening (yeah, it did with USC last year, but I don't think we'd get that "OMG BLUE BLOOD" bonus that put them in over Colorado).

I want whatever makes Stanford's path to the CCG maximally probable, and that involves other teams losing. If that means the Pac-12 doesn't get a spot in the playoff then fine, who cares?
