A lot of posters in here who didn't pay much attention to how things happened last year.
OSU 2016 had the best resume of maybe any of the 12 teams previously selected for the playoffs. End of the year, before the playoffs, OSU had played 40% of the top 10, and beaten 30%. Even with the B1G championship game, PSU only had 2 top 10 wins and had a loss to a top 10 team and a loss to an unranked team.
Bama will have 2 top 25 wins (0 top 10 wins) and lost to the only top 10 team they played. Bama 2017 is much more comparable to 2015 OSU, who didn't get in, but was absolutely one of the best 4 teams.

2017 Ohio State has two losses. 1 at home and the other by 30+ on the road to a 7-win team.
Last year's resume hurts this year because they got in with a h2h loss to the conference champ, which killed the perceived precedent of the conf championship requirement to get in the playoff.
The Bama haterz are out in full force, but this is a legit conversation.

Sure, if it was 2016 tOSU vs 2017 Bama there's no doubt tOSU gets the nod.
This year, the comparison is a team with arguably better wins but terrible losses or a team lacking a true marquee win but only one road loss in a game they led in the second half.
It is pretty much a pick-em this time around.

You got beat head to head by your conference champ and your dumb arse is trying to justify getting in over them by saying you played a tough schedule.
The entitlism you OSU trash have is otherwordly
