Notre Dame getting in above A&M was far worse than Ohio State. They literally had just gotten their arse handed to them in what was effectively a playoff game in the ACC Title game. No one expected them to compete with Bama and they didn't. You can argue of course that A&M lost big to Bama but that was in Week 2 (on the road at Bama and with Waddle scoring 2 TDs along with key turnovers from A&M) and A&M had improved drastically since then so A&M had as much of a shot as anyone. Notre Dame had been exposed and they still got in.

Ohio State won 6 games during the regular season and CCG. And 2 of those wins they struggled, mightily. The playoff committee loves to come out week after week and talk about how close some of these 4th seeds are in comparison. We are supposed to come away feeling that it was just splitting hairs at times as to who gets in.
Not last season. The Buckeyes played half a season and got in on name only. That's why the playoff committee has lost credibility they aren't getting back. And that's why the groundswell for a 12 team expanded playoff.
