Reply to comment by Black-H-Si in Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Ohio St. picked for CFP by Nuonorp

Think you’re being a bit disingenuous here. Whilst I agree that OSU got dog walked at home, it was against the second best team in the country and I feel like this is being heavily understated in your comment. A loss against Michigan is definitely better than a loss against Kansas State and the committee knows this.

I’m confident that the committee put OSU 4th to avoid an inconference match-up in the semis. Had Michigan been #1, OSU would’ve been #3 without question.

The committee did the same thing last year when #1 ranked Georgia lost by 17 to the 4th seed Alabama in Georgia. Bama moved up to #1 and somehow Georgia still managed to outrank an undefeated Cincinnati.

Good wins are better than bad losses

They aren’t holding a 13th data point loss against TCU when Ohio State wouldn’t have even earned the right to get the 13th data point. If USC won, Ohio State wouldn’t have gotten in.
