That has nothing to do with the panel at the end potentially comparing OSU to say Kansas State. Both conference champs, one has millions (billions??) of tons of $ invested in football, will bring fans, and has top 5 recruiting classes.

I just wonder if that will play into people's thoughts. It shouldn't

The difference is that Kansas State and Ohio State's resumes wouldn't even be in the same galaxy. Not even the same universe.

K-State would have wins @Oklahoma, @West Virginia, @TCU, and @Baylor.

All of those teams would be ranked, most of them in the top 10 or top 15. And they'd have a MUCH better loss than Ohio State.

Maybe if you compare Ohio State to a team with a resume closer to theirs, you could make the argument for program prestige coming into play. But not with a team like Kansas State, or even TCU.

That's just not true. Oklahoma still has Baylor, they lose that game, they aren't in the top 15. Baylor losses that game, they may drop. WVU with 3 losses, if KSU beats them, not top 15.

If you use rankings when games are played, sure. But by the end, the Big 12 is going to have 1 team with 1 loss tops, maybe 1 with 2 losses, then probably two or thee with 3-4 losses.

I think the resumes get closer the more games are played
