Yep, OSU needed a more convincing win. Wisconsin didn’t impress me at all.
Ohio State won their conference. Won two games against top 4 teams when games were played.
Alabama best who? Lost their division. Didn’t play in conference championship. Alabama is out.
I think Wisconsin is still more deserving than Ohio State. The Badgers had just one loss and it was by six points, not the 20+ point humiliation the Buckeyes suffered at Iowa.
If you judge the one-loss teams by their margin of defeat, Wisconsin looks best. Clemson lost badly to Syracuse. Oklahoma lost to Iowa State(!?!) at home. Alabama lost by 10+ to Auburn. Georgia was beat by worse.
Of course, if this was a totally fair world, the four finalists would be Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia and the UNDEFEATED UCF Knights who did not lose to anybody.
