Good morning, Bucknutters. Welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5.

We're here on Wednesday, November 30th, 2022. I am Dave Vittel, very happy joined by Matt Baxendale.

All right, Bax, you're telling me there's a chance? Listen, we all overreacted, myself included, saying they had no chance, and they shouldn't get in no matter what.

But if USC loses, like who does deserve to get in? Ohio State does, and the committee proved that tonight.

Ohio State number five, so I'm very happy. I'm happy to be wrong. I thought the SEC bias would rise up, and the family would be five, and Ohio State would be six.

Very happy Ohio State is five, and now if USC loses, Bax, luck guys are in. Your thoughts?

You know, after all these years of watching FDC team back their way into a playoff first that they objectively didn't deserve, I will show no shame whatsoever if Ohio State backs their way into a playoff spot against Georgia.

Look, let me call a turn out real quick here. Everybody who thinks we don't deserve a spot from the lost image, again, you're 100% right.

We don't deserve a spot. We lost the Michigan, but I'll throw this out there. Who else does? Pamela? Kind of Steve.

End of the day, Ohio State is in the position. We've always dreamt they'd be in. Getting a flat first even when we feel kind of icky about it.

But guess what? Go Utah. Go Kansas State. Either one of them went in the buck, as they're in, and forced to get against Georgia and Atlanta, and you know what would smell really good to me as somebody who is currently very displeased with what is going on in our program.

I would love, love, love for Ryan Day to have the opportunity to show me he's the guy that I always hoped he would be and believed he would be, and currently concerned he's not.

If they got another shot at Michigan, it would be glorious as we all know. Let me ask you this.

You beat Michigan in the national championship game. So guess what? You know his two thumbs and is rooting for that? This guy.

Let me ask you this. Like you mentioned this. I think you kind of blew by it. Like a lot of people are saying, even if TCU loses, they're in.

Why? I agree with you. Go. What's TCU's best win? Kansas State, who in this scenario would have beaten up in a big 12 championship game.

Kansas State, who is nowhere in the ballpark of Penn State, who Ohio State has a win over currently, and nowhere in the ballpark of Ohio State's loss, which is to a playoff team in Michigan.

If TCU loses, they should be out, O-U-T, out. Ohio State, look guys, I agree with every single person who's watching this, and their head is exploding, and his blood is bleeding everywhere, that we don't deserve a spot because he lost to Michigan.

I agree with you, but to every other basic normal human metric, the reality is, Ohio State is the team to get the fourth spot if U.S.D. or TCU loses.

There is zero debate. If TCU loses, dooses. If U.S.C. loses, two losses don't even talk to me. Ohio State will be in the playoff.

Right now guys, if you're a bug I fan, you know who you should be a big fan of, the Utah youth, and the Kansas State Wildcat. That's simple. Go purple, go red team that we beat last year in the Rose Bowl. That's simple.

That's simple, and maybe we can get some redemption for the last two years of mistakes against that team up north.
