Summary
"Win and you're in" is not the phrase Ohio State can use as it enters the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern.
If the Buckeyes want to make the College Football Playoff, a narrow win over the Wildcats likely will not do the trick. The CFP selection committee made that fairly clear when it placed OSU No. 6 in the most recent rankings.
The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the Buckeyes' CFP chances, plus:
* Northwestern is no joke. What problems might the Wildcats give the Buckeyes?
* It's still so much fun to look back on the 62-39 win over Michigan, so that's exactly what we're going to do. It was one of the most-enjoyable OSU-UM games for Ohio State fans, and that is saying a lot.
* What can be expected from Wyatt Davis as he takes over for the injured Demetrius Knox at right guard?
All of that and more on the midweek extravaganza.

| 0:38.4 | Matt Baxendale. |
| 0:40.1 | Bax, Ohio State, moved up four spots in the college football playoff rankings. |
| 0:44.0 | They are now sixth. |
| 0:45.0 | But they are behind Oklahoma who is fifth. |
| 0:49.0 | And Georgia who's fourth, I think if if Georgia loses to Alabama I'm not by |
| 0:53.2 | any of this two teams from the SEC are gonna make it Georgia loses they're out |
| 0:56.4 | it's gonna come down to Ohio State Oklahoma |
| 0:58.9 | Michigan is seventh which helps Ohio State Penn State stays at 12th. I thought they might move up, so that doesn't help Ohio State. |
| 1:06.0 | Northwestern drops to 21st. Bax, what do you make out of all that especially Ohio State being 6th? |
| 1:14.0 | Well, first things first, Northwestern Dropping, I think, is emblematic of the committee's mindset. |
| 1:20.0 | Much like we saw Fresno State sneaking into 25th last year to give Alabama more resume cushion. |
| 1:26.6 | I think Ohio State's resume being unpadded, if you will, because dropping them to 21st means if they lose the Ohio State in the |
| 1:34.0 | Big Ten Championship they can justify to not ranking them you know saying that's only |
| 1:39.0 | four points that they fell and they lost the Ohio State. I think the committee, and I've said this for a while, |
| 1:43.8 | is predisposed towards not picking OSU. We've seen it all along. I think they flat out just think |
| 1:49.0 | Oklahoma is a better team. And let's face it, this committee will use whatever justifications they feel necessary to put the teams that they want to put in. |
| 1:57.0 | We saw it last year. Alabama's schedule was trash and they lost their last game. |
