Same reason why Ohio State went ahead of Penn State a few years back


Exactly!! Penn State having 2 losses, including getting blown out by Michigan, had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Surely you don't think that if the roles were reversed, it never would have played out the same way for Penn State.

Penn State won the BIG 10 and beat Ohio State head-to-head. Yes, they lost to Michigan early in the season (in Ann Arbor), but Ohio State only beat Michigan in Double OT at home.

Penn State played the tougher schedule, beat OSU head-to-head, and won the BIG 10.

Had you switched the resumes, the Committee still would have put in OSU as a two-loss team and they would have hung their hat on head-to-head results and a Conference Championship. You know that.

No way they would have put in Penn State ahead of Ohio State if OSU had beaten them on the field and won the BIG 10.
