I don't think we learned much on committee methodology: OSU was an anomaly

Top 3 were a given.

I think they/us were in shock and awe based on what OSU did to Wisconsin; and give them credit, 59-0 is an epic beatdown, but one which is incredibly rare and lends itself to emotion. How could they be excluded?

Just like so much in life, I think the takeaway is timing and we OSU did it.

This is why we need some kind of predetermined methodology so we/they know what the hell the rules of the game are.

I think we learned that being undefeated doesn't guarantee you #1, even if you're the lone Power 5 undefeated up there. And that you can't just name your teams co-champs and expect the committee to not see past that bullshite either.

I agree, I didn't see the Epic beat down coming. That was the first time a team got shutout in a conference championship. If OSU won the game by 7 point, I don't think they would of went to the playoffs.

You're overthinking it. Ohio State had a better record. Their opponents had a better record. Their opponents' opponents had a better record.
