Seriesly, the committee not only got it right but set the table for two must-see bowl games. I think where they got it wrong was the previous week where TCU was slotted at #3. Had they put the Frogs at #4 in that next-to-last list, there would have been less wailing here in Big XII territory. That said, in the final rankings, the margins between #4, #5 and #6 are razor thin.
When I saw your post before church this morning, I thought you were off base. Glad I didn’t embarrass myself.
It does make sense - there are only 4 major conferences with playoffs; they took the playoff winners. They probably should just formalize it with that.
As I said, OU’s loss tipped the scales in Ohio State’s direction.
