The extra game is Ohio State playing Kent State, they aren't risking anything.




No, that is a regular season game, which is why TCU was already ranked ahead of Ohio State. You are arguing about SOS, which has nothing to do about the last, extra game Ohio State risked and won.

Oklahoma State was beating Oklahoma 44-10 on conference championship Saturday while bama was sitting at home watching on TV. The media had already made up their mind about who was playing LSU.



And that gave them a tied record with Bama. So was Bama suppose to be punished because Oklahoma State has an extra bye week and played a week later? Because their records were the exact same.

Why do people think they do? It's not like Ohio State played an extra conference game than TCU or Baylor. They already played 9 conference games. OSU was just catching up.


The Big 12 plays 9 conference games. This is a dumb argument. You are essentially arguing over an extra win over potentially an FCS school or a bottom of the barrell FBS school.

The Big 12 schedule is fine. The issue is that the committee should not have had TCU above Baylor in the first place and this wouldn't have even been a talking point.

Oklahoma St. was screwed in 2011 because they went 8-1 in their conference and Bama went 7-1 in the SEC. This is just a bunch of bull shite and their shouldn't be a fricking committee to begin with. The issue with all the National Championship selection process Pre-BCS, BCS, and now post BCS has poll voters/human eye test bias.

Take conference champions and the BCS computers. Run the formulas and have it spit out the top 4 conference champs seeded for a 4 team playoff.

It funny, because you were shown today how much a conference championship matter, but your in such denial that you have to attempt to make some kind of argument that isn't even being argued.

It may matter, but the point is that it shouldn't.

The only thing that mattered is that Urban Meyer and Ohio State are a much bigger brand than TCU or Baylor and the conference title game thing was just their convenient out.
