And wouldn't be surprised if Vandy isn't ranked before we play them...Maybe?

Brutal schedule with a bunch of young-uns. And TheOhioSuckState has yet to play a ranked team IIRC and some media types have them already in the MNC game.

Vandy will have to win at A&M and UF, their next two opponents, to be ranked.  I don't see that happening, it's not impossible. 

As for OSU, I will go so far as to say that even if we had the 4 team playoff a year early, I STILL wouldn't put them in the field.  Could you really put them in ahead of bammer, Oregon, FSU, Baylor, or Mizzou?  Because all of those teams could run the table as well (bammer and Mizzou would obviously have to play each other in the SECC, but I'd still put the loser of that game ahead of an unbeaten OSU).

Wisconsin and Northwestern were rated, FWIW
