As for your nonsense about South Carolina, wouldn't that also apply to Ohio State. Now granted Ohio State lost week 2, but Ohio State has 4 new offensive lineman, a redshirt freshman QB who was supposed to be the backup and a ton of new faces on the defense. I mean if South Carolina gets a pass, why wouldn't Ohio State also get a pass (assuming they win out). I mean you can't have it both ways. And I get that the Big Ten is weak, but if Ohio State wins at Michigan St. (who doesn't lose again), wins at Penn St. (who has yet to lose), and then beats a 1 loss Nebraska or Wisconsin, you would be hard pressed to keep them out in favor of a 2 loss non-conference champion. Just isn't going to happen and it won't happen for all the reasons you want to give South Carolina a pass for.
South Carolina will not be in the playoff unless they win the SEC and do so with 2 or less losses.
