Easy to say that with hindsight. But ND going 2-1 vs Clemson, Clemson and UNC looked better than A&M beating UF and getting smoked by Alabama.
What is your argument exactly? Because we know how A&M did against a better Alabama team than what Alabama is now..... and we don't know how tOSU would do against them? We don't know how Cincy would have done against Alabama either, so why not them?
Which is why an 8-team CFP with P5 champions and 3 at-large makes too much sense for them to comprehend.
How games do you think a team should have to play to be in the CFP? If Florida had played 4 games and was 4-0, should they have been in?
Funny arguments here:
-OSU beat Northwestern, big deal. They’re OK, and sure they beat Auburn handily, but Auburn sucks.
- Texas A&M had a better resume. That Florida win was great. And their second best win was Auburn, who is a pretty solid SEC team. And I know they already got blown out by Alabama, but that resume is good. We all know that those wins vs Arkansas, Vandy, and S Carolina are still good cuz SEC.

What are you arguing? ISU has no choice in who they play. Neither Oregon or ISU made the playoff, and neither deserved to. What are you trying to say?
What we do know is that Iowa didn't play anyone even close to as good as Missouri or Oregon all year. So Iowa was truly a paper tiger with no good wins..... and one really bad loss.
In 2020 there's no real answer. Sorry. Clearly putting a 6-win tOSU in was the right call because they steamrolled Clemson. This was a f*cked up year.
As it turned out today...... ND was the biggest joke of the top 4 teams by far. Clemson as it turns out wasn't that great.... and they were still WAY better than ND when they were healthy.
Yes it was. When you don't beat a single team with a winning record and end up ranked 16th.... that is a f'ed up year.
I'm saying you're bagging on tOSU for only playing 6 games, then on the other hand you seem to think Oregon is a worthy opponent... having only played 6 games earning 4 wins... and then calling Mizzou horrible who played 10 games in the SEC and won more games than Oregon. Getting a little whiplashy in here.
My point is OSU was 2-0 vs the last CFP top 25. A&M was 1-1. Cincy will finish with 0 wins vs ranked teams. My point is people are claiming A&M or Cincy had better resumes than OSU and they did not. Unless you think beating Vandy, Arkansas and S Carolina are really impressive.
ISU has had one of the most memorable and historic seasons in its history, with a Fiesta Bowl win could get close to a top-5 finish. You should really focus on that instead of Iowa. I think you'd be a happier guy.
So are we going to apply this same hindsight to A&Ms two best wins, Florida and Auburn?
Yeah I don't know enough about A&M's resume, so I'll defer. I just know ND had no business in there after getting dismantled by Clemson the way they did.
