I wish we could have picked only our six best wins and considered our season as 6-0!

We played 5 more games than tOSU did this year. That's 5 more chances at losses than tOSU had.

I'm not saying we deserved to be in at all.... we didn't. We never should have even been #6.... and I said that.

But the committee used the "eye test" this year to determine the top 4, not resume's. That's not right IMO. A&M had a much better resume than tOSU IMO..... and it's pretty obvious now that ND had no business even being in the top 5 even.
The main thing we learned today was that ND was WAY overrated.... so was Clemson.... and the ACC was terrible.

I hope you don't have a dog.

A&M was 1-1 vs the last CFP top 25. OSU was 2-0.

Name the team that had a better resume. People keep wanting these teams like A&M and Cincy they didn’t beat good teams. At least OSU beat NW and Indiana.

We have no idea if Indiana is good at all. NW appears to be decent, but Auburn is 6-5.

A&M only lost to Alabama..... that's it..... and they played a full SEC schedule which is never easy.... not 5 games. And the Alabama they lost to had both Davonta Smith and Waddle, not just Smith.

Based on resume.... A&M should have been in over tOSU. Now A&M will go and lose tomorrow to make me look stupid, but you can only go off the info you have at the time..... and A&M's resume was better than tOSU's IMO.

Not sure we need A&M to lose to ma......


I'll stop there.
 
Gonna eat my Ohio State crow before I head to bed. I'm not afraid to say I was wrong about this team. Based off this game, we might be in for a doozy with them and Bama.

I would never kick a dog.

I'm perfectly calm. I'm always calm. I'm guessing you don't know me..... oh wait..... that's right.... you don't.

I won't pretend to know who you are, sound good?

I've lived in Columbus, OH. I've experienced their horrible, horrible fans. When it comes to **** tOSU, I couldn't agree more. But after tonight it's hard to argue that they didn't belong or that they shouldn't be playing for the title.
 
The Ohio State....... best 7 win team in the country!! Congrats!

Seriously though.... it turns out that the two best teams are possibly in the title game.... so the committee may have guessed correctly this year fortunately. Still impossible to know of course since tOSU didn't play a full schedule like the others, but tOSU looks really good right now.... much better than they have looked all year by far.

You must think 4-win Oregon is really, really lame.

A&Ms resume was beating Florida. Next best win was Auburn. Not to mention we already got to see A&M play Alabama and they weren’t competitive.
Coming into the playoffs we didn’t really know how good OSU was. We don’t know how good Indiana was. What we did know is A&M can’t compete with Alabama.

Basically people arguing for A&M are saying had OSU only beaten Minnesota, Illinois and Maryland you would’ve been good with their resume over A&M.

I could've seen A&M over ND in the CFP. ND didn't deserve to be there. A&M in over tOSU is nonsense.

Impossible to know really..... just like tOSU was. I'd rather be playing someone that had more of a resume yes..... but it beats getting invited to the Music City Bowl against an awful Missouri team and having it canceled. And not only that, but supporting a racist head coach too..... yikes.
