By definition, this is because they are the first champion of the expanded playoff era. That's a dumb stat.

Lost to an unranked team and lost 2 games. They aren’t a top 25 alltime team

Where does their two losses place them in the history of the AP Poll?

And also lost to #1 Oregon.

So really, we're going to count their win instead of cancelling it out?

And which National Title team ever had a worse loss than Ohio State....

To 6-5 Michigan.

Outside of Oregon none of those even feel like Top 5 wins. There’s so much mediocrity here

And somehow this isn't even impressive.

They also played in an expanded playoff with more games.

I post a factual statistic,
You call me a fool & request that I be banned.

You're a weird dude.
But I won't request that you be banned because I'm not a thin skinned pussy.

they also lost to “number 1” which is what led to them being number 1 to play again

Every thread you’ve started has just been some graphic from Fox about Ohio State. No one cares & you’re clearly someone’s alter. You’re not just bored at home just posting for the first time

Any yet you still have a loss, so you will never be considered the GOAT by anyone, ever

The end of season ranking of a team matters a lot more than their ranking at the time of playing them.

ETA: beating 2, 3, 4, 5, 9,10 is still impressive though

Still losing 2 games precludes any team from being in the “all-time” category

Nah…I don’t think I will.

Unless your name is Jerry Rice. Are you Jerry Rice?

2019 LSU says sit down and shut up. Half their schedule was against legit Top 10 teams. Ohio St didn't even deserve a chance to play for a title. They got humiliated by Michigan.

Your starting QB couldn't even crack the starting lineup at OSU, so there's that.
