What media machine wants OSU out? Seems to be the complete opposite.
Controversy. They cooked it up nicely. Just look at this board.

You don't understand, it LITERALLY makes their loss to Penn State a better outcome than them winning. You put OSU in and losing to Penn State becomes the best thing that happened to them all year.
quote:No. This isn't about "messages." If you have comprehensive data to show us that Ohio State isn't one of the top four, I'd love to see it. If all you have is "messages," then you have nothing.
Think about the message that sends.

Again who is pushing for this narrative? All I've seen on Sportscenter tonight is how Ohio State is in.
eta: ESPN is pushing for Washington to be out more than anything

Stop playing dumb
If you put OSU in and leave PSU out, you are saying that it was better for OSU to lose to PSU than to beat them. Beating Penn State would have made their oath to the playoff harder.

Beat Penn State, OSU has to win an extra game against a very good team that almost beat them earlier in the year.
Lose to Penn State, you still get in but have to play one less game and get extra rest.
Objectively, putting them in says losing a game was better than winning it.

you want comprehensive data:

Head to head Winners + Conference Championship > whatever you come up with

....except when tOSU actually played, they lost.....
There is no better indicator of who is better than actually competing against one another....

Yup. He won't agree with you because he has zero common sense, but you're absolutely right.

Nobody on this board can come up with comprehensive data to support the idea that they shouldn't be in the playoff.

You're hiding behind numbers because, deep down, you know how absurd it is to effectively argue losing to Penn State was better for Ohio State than beating them.
It's a fact that cannot be refuted if you place OSU in the playoff.

Those are tiebreakers.
There's no tie.
