ESPN's narrative the entire day Wednesday was playing up the Syracuse-Pitt "play in game" because in reality there was not that many meaningful games yesterday.    So they had no choice but to follow up on this hype of the loser is out game and move Syracuse out.  They couldn't get them off the last spot n soon enough last night.  Then Oregon St won against an amazing 5-13 Pac 12 team and jumped Syracuse.

Point is given all the hype and certainty they gave to the loser being out, they are not turning back on it.     They called Syracuse out for sure yesterday, so they would look silly to bring them back in today, or even discuss them against anybody.   They are dead to them -- otherwise they look silly.    But the fact is the field is fluid.

What will be interesting is when Oregon St loses tonight.

Syracuse was 4 spots ahead of Oregon St before losing to Pitt.   Oregon St not only jumped them by beating Arizona St, they are now 5 spots ahead if Syracuse.  And I am sure they will stay ahead tonight on the s-curve after they lose.

So -  a win over a 5-13 team and a lost to Cal, allows you to climb 4 full spots (or more)   Amazing stuff
