Oh well, if there wasn’t enough carnage already. So many teams on the periphery vying to enter the committee’s top 12 from the outset. Teams like Tennessee are battling from the inside to keep their spot secure. Surely the no.2 team in the country is just going about business securely before their imminent championship game, right?
Alarm bells are ringing loud in Columbus, Ohio and the sound is reverberating all the way to Florida. Remember last year when 13-0 FSU were kept out of the playoffs because their QB got hurt? History has potentially repeated itself, and the Ohio State Buckeyes could bear the brunt this time around.
Will Howard went down after a big hit in an attempt to use his feet and rush for a first down. The QB was lying on his back for a while and you could probably hear a pin drop in the stadium. He’s back on his feet and playing as Ryan Day and co. look to topple arch rivals Michigan.
Ohio State QB Will Howard is down. If he can’t return, wonder how @CFBPlayoff selection committee will evaluate Buckeyes. If there was only some earlier precedent

However, a risk of re-aggravating something does loom. Will Howard’s ill-health at this juncture could set in motion a gruesome end to the Buckeyes season.
