Does OSU still have a chance to make it to the National Championship?

Being a big buckeye fan that I am. I don't think we have a chance to repeat after the lose to ill. We will drop down into the polls to about 10. There will need to be alot of other teams to lose for us to get that cance.
But we can pray for it.

I actually don't think it is that far fetched (but not probable). Mizzou, Kansas, and Okla all have a pseudo round robin coming up, so it is likely that at least two of those will be eliminated. Also LSU has Arkansas and an SEC Championship game left, so if they lose one of those, then all of the SEC teams will have two losses. Then you are looking at Oregon (who still has three games left), WV (still play at UC and UConn), and OSU as the teams with 1 loss.
So it isn't probable, but I don't think impossible.

depends on how far they fall in the BCS. but the odds are astronomically low. LSU, Oregon and WVU would all have to lose. Georgia and Arizona State would have to not jump them. both those teams have big games left.
best case scenario is if they magically don't fall below Arizona State and/or W.Virginia. well they magically stayed on top of Arizona State
* between OU, KU and Missouri one would have to not win out. Oklahoma has the best chance of winning out. actually that is impossible. if oklahoma loses then either KU or Missouri wins out. so Oregon would have to lose too. odds are less that 1%

theoretically yes they do have a chance. assuming they drop lets say no further than 5th. that means at least 4 of the teams ahead of them would have to lose. if they drop to 8th at least 7 teams would have to lose. u get the point? realistically i dont see too much of that happening in the last three weeks of the season.

doubtful, they get absolutely no love in the computer polls. however the commission from the sugar bowl was at the wisconson game and supposedly said as long as OSU won one of its next two games they would be invited to the sugar bowl, so as long as they beat michigan they will certainly be in a bcs bowl

NO..
but winning the Big10 and playing in Pasedena is GOOD..
it shouldn't be looked at as a consolation prize...

They have a chance with the way this college season has been. But it is highly doubtful. 7 or 8 teams ahead of them would have to lose. They lost too late in the season is their problem.

they might as well start praying, because 7 teams have to lose for that to happen.

very slim all the teams above them when the BCS poll comes out lose a game ..and i don't see that happening///but they also will have to beat Michigan very convincingly to have a shot also
