That extra game against the other divisional champiop...in the (conference) Championship helps.
Yes. These two games account for 2/25 (8%) of the equation regarding these two teams. It's enough to affect the final outcome, of course, but to say that's the "sole" reason OSU got in is simply false. They got in because their 13 game results collectively were better than TCU's 12.

And that's accounting for the fact that TCU's first 11 results were better than OSU's first 12.

8 teams is too many, in my opinion, but 6 teams is stupid. And this being an LSU site, after Alabama got a championship week bye? Tigers have seen first hand how much of an unfair advantage that is, I'd think they would be the last people advocating for more of that.
