Maybe don’t do the following in one season:

1. Be down 2 scores in the 4th against Penn State
2. Be in a one score 4th Quarter game against 6-6 TCU
3. Be in a 1 score 4th Quarter game against 6-6 Minnesota
4. Go to Overtime with 5-7 Maryland
5. Play 8-5 Northwestern in your conference championship
6. Almost lose at home to 4-8 Nebraska
7. Get beat by 6-6 Purdue by 30

Great post. And THIS is why the eye test is still an important criteria and I'm glad the selection committee uses it. We have watched Ohio State play like shite all year and eke out wins. They have the talent to certainly be in the top 4, but they played like it against Michigan and against Washington, sort of. They rest of the time, they loafed and screwed around with teams they should have beaten to death. It's real simple. Win your games, play to a standard, not up or down to your opponents, and don't lose by 30 to a middle of the pack team and then whine when it's held against you. That applies to Ohio State and Alabama and Georgia and Oklahoma and UCF all the same. Now quit your bitching about the system.
