Wut? If OSU only loses 1 or 2 more games, they'll be a top 10 team. 10-2 is a guarantee of a top 10 ranking for a P5 team.

But here's the problem. Ohio State finishes 10-2 but began with a #2 ranking. They will stay in the top ten the entire year.

Meanwhile (hypothetically), a team like Minnesota finishes 10-2 as well, but they weren't ranked in the preseason. They won't even be ranked until a month or so into the season, and they'll be lucky to break the top ten by the end of the year.

Because of that, Ohio State gets a New Years Six invite and they play in the Rose Bowl because they're Ohio State and they've been a top ten team all year. And Minnesota goes to the Alamo Bowl because who the Hell is Minnesota?
