COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Reveling in Saturdays thrilling win over Michigan and shut out of the Big Ten Championship game, Ohio State can only wait a week to see whether it will get a national playoff spot.The No. 2 Buckeyes (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) lost control of their destiny when they stumbled at Penn State on Oct. 22. Their win over Michigan put into a play a tie-breaker system that gives No. 8 Penn State the Big Ten East Division title and a shot at No. 5 Wisconsin in the conference championship game next Saturday.The scenario also puts the playoff committee in the unprecedented position of possibly putting a team among the top four that wont have a conference championship on its resume. Will Ohio States strength of schedule, quality wins and body of work be enough in the eyes of committee members to put the Buckeyes into the four-team New Years Eve playoff?The answer will be revealed Dec. 4.Committee members are given the flexibility to examine whatever data they believe is relevant to inform their decisions, including the instant classic 30-27 double-overtime win over No. 3 Michigan and the nations top defense last Saturday.Our body of work stands for itself, Ohio State guard Billy Price said. We beat a very good Wisconsin team, Oklahoma, the team up north (Michigan), Nebraska. Those are very quality wins. Yes, there might have been some struggles, but a win is a win. In the Big Ten you are not given wins. Our body of work shows that we belong in this playoff picture.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer -- who fell to the turf moments after Curtis Samuel ran for the winning touchdown Saturday night -- was either too flustered to think about it immediately after the game or didnt want to get into it.I think were one of the top teams in the country, Meyer said.Ohio State recorded three wins over AP top 10 teams : No. 8 Wisconsin, No. 10 Nebraska and No. 3 Michigan. Plus, the Buckeyes beat No. 14 Oklahoma back on Sept. 17.I mean its really out of our hands, quarterback J.T. Barrett said. At this time I think we are one of the top four teams in the country, personally, but I think that, like I said, its up to the committee to do their thing.Ohio State players and coaches will watch the Big Ten Championship on TV like everybody else Saturday night, knowing that the committee could choose to move the winner into the top four and bump the Buckeyes outside. A victory by No. 5 Wisconsin (9-2, 7-2, No. 6 CFP) could be more beneficial to Ohio State, because the Buckeyes beat the Badgers 30-23 in overtime a week before losing to Penn State (10-2, 8-1, No. 7 CFP) by three points in October.Regardless of who wins that game, Ohio State center Pat Elflein -- who played in his last game at Ohio Stadium and celebrated on the field with thousands of scarlet-clad fans who poured from the seats -- believes the Buckeyes belong.How can you keep us out? he said.The other issue for the committee is whether Michigan belongs among the top four, despite having two losses. The Wolverines shut down Barrett and the Ohio State offense for much of the game and likely would have won if not for two disastrous interceptions by quarterback Wilton Speight. Coach Jim Harbaugh said his team lost only because of poor officiating, and afterward players made a case for their inclusion in playoff.Along with Alabama, we are arguably one of the best teams in the country, Speight said.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyCustom Nike Atlanta Braves Jerseys .

After rain delayed the start by an hour, it was the Pune bowlers who did the damage as they restricted Hyderabad to just 118-8 in their 20 overs, Ashok Dinda claiming 3-23 in his first IPL match of the season.Pune had reached 94-3 after 11 overs in reply and were well on course for victory before the rain came down again, Steve Smith having top-scored with 46 not out.With time running out to complete the match, the decision was made to call it off and award the Supergiants a first win since the first game of the season.Hyderabad suffered a sizeable early blow as Dinda had the in-form David Warner caught at backward point for a duck in the first over.Dinda, playing his first IPL game of the season, picked up his second wicket when Aditya Tare (8) played loosely outside his off stump and looped a simple catch to Thisara Perera at cover.Ashok Dinda took 3-23 for the Rising Pune Supergiants Eoin Morgan joined Shikhar Dhawan in the middle but he lasted just two balls before nicking behind off the bowling of Mitchell Marsh as Hyderabad limped to 27-3 at the end of the powerplay.That became 29-4 as Ravichandran Ashwin (1-14) picked up a wicket with his first ball, Deepak Hooda (1) gloving a reverse sweep, allowing MS Dhoni to dive forward and take the catch before Marsh (2-14) had Moises Henriques caught behind down the legside in the following over.ddddddddddddDhawan and Naman Ojha began rebuilding the innings and looked to kick on in the 15th over, the latter hitting the first maximum of the game. However, Dinda returned and made a mess of Ojhas stumps to leave Hyderabad 79-6 with a little more than three overs remaining. Dhawan brought up his half-century with a six over long on and after Bipul Sharma was run out, Bhuvneshwar Kumar added another to take the total past 100.The No 9 hit a further two boundaries before hauling out in the final over as the Sunrisers finished on 118-8, Dhawan unbeaten on 56.Any thoughts the Supergiants had of an easy chase soon had to be revised though as Ajinkya Rahane was caught by Morgan in the first over of the reply, a wicket maiden from Kumar.However, after negotiating a tricky spell against the new ball - Kumar, in particular, was causing problems with his swing - Faf du Plessis and Smith began to push on and took Pune to 71-1 after eight overs.Henriques had Du Plessis (30) caught behind in the 10th over and Dhoni (5) fell soon after, Nehra with the wicket after Tare took a sharp catch at backward point. That was the last action before the rain came down again and brought an end to proceedings to give Pune victory by 34 runs on Duckworth/Lewis.Catch more IPL action on Wednesday at 3pm on Sky Sports 1 as high-flying Delhi Daredevils and Gujarat Lions meet at Feroz Shah Kotla.
