COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's all hypothetical.
How games during championship weekend play out, how the committee views those games and how they'll react when they release the final College Football rankings on Sunday is all purely up for debate.
Here's the one guarantee on how Ohio State will get in: An Alabama loss to Florida in the SEC Championship and a Stanford loss to USC in the Pac-12 Championship. But, as Buckeyes fans already know, that's quite a longshot.
But what about the other scenarios? A North Carolina win over Clemson in the ACC Championship is interesting because nobody knows how the committee will view the Tar Heels if they win that game.
