For the record I thought OSU deserved the 2016 playoff spot but did not deserve one the past 2 years - the Iowa and Purdue losses were too damning. I was glad they didn’t make it last year because they would have lost in the first round. Winning the Rose Bowl actually improved their end of the year rating as they finished higher than ND and Oklahoma. I did think Dwayne Haskins had a better year than Yua and Murray but that’s something for another thread! I don't think the Buckeyes would have done well in 2017 but I thought 2018 had a lot of potential and would have been able to compete. Looking back at 2017 sure the Buckeyes had 2 losses but put a hurting on USC. Wisconsin had only 1 loss but soundly beat the Canes in a NY6 game. If conference Championships matter then tOSU should have been selected over 1 loss Bama and 1 loss Wisconsin. If they don't matter then it should have been a comparison of Bama vs Wisonsin. Looking at the resumes Bama had a pretty Ugly loss to number 7 Auburn last game of the season. Wisconsin made it to there conference championship game and had the ball in the 4th quarter going for the win and came up short.
Resumes: Wisconsin 12 -1 Advanced to CCG Lost a tight one to #5 tOSU Beat #21 Alabama 11 - 1 Pretty ugly loss to #7 Auburn Beat #17 and #24
Can anyone explain why Alabama got the nod other than one teams name was named Alabama (percieved as athletic and dominating) and the other was Wisconsin (perceived as big and slow but methodical)
Again another reason why I am onboard with Hen regarding the mCFP.

The BIG10 and Ohio State proved conference championships don’t matter. Don’t take my word for it, ask a Penn State fan.

The good folks in The BIG10 like to play games at home. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you. Now that is pretty funny coming from someone whose team has not played a true road OOC game since the Cuban Missile crisis I thought so too.

Glad to see Bama finally doing some true home and home in the future. This is the first year I can remember where tOSU does not have on OOC P5 game. We can thank the Tennessee Cowardteers for backing out of that one.

We can thank the Tennessee Cowardteers for backing out of that one. Next year the Buckeyes travel to Oregon. They also have trips to Washington, Texas and ND in the next 5-7 years. I think Cincinnati will be tricky but the depth should wear them down. But based on other years it is a pretty week non-conference schedule.

Truly embarrassing that UNC got off scott free on that one. A ten year investigation which found nothing. Astounding incompetence

Sounds like sexual harassment to me.

We can thank the Tennessee Cowardteers for backing out of that one. We aim to please. Bama has five home&home contracts to my knowledge. Texas, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Wisconsin Alabama tries to play one OOC P5 game per year like a lot of teams. Feel free to hate the Vols and we will have something in common.

That weak schedule is going to hurt Ohio State if it comes down to a decision in the end.
Then, we’ll hear all the ‘bias’ talk again.

I didn’t think Wisconsin was close to Ohio State in talent - turnovers kept them on the game. In person the difference in the speed was clearly evident. But JT gave them a gift TD Webber fumbled close to the goal and gave Wisconsin 10 cheap points. That game should have been 42-10.
