The No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes captured their first Big Ten championship since 2014 thanks to a 27-21 triumph over the No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday night. The win, which was buoyed by a slew of explosive plays from the Buckeyes' speedy skill position players, figures to incite tremendous debate among the College Football Playoff selection committee in advance of Sunday's final rankings reveal.
Agree.
And osu has TWO losses and bama doesn’t. You seem to block that out.
Auburn was #6 in the nation at the time. FSU was #2 at the time.
Big Ten is your Mercer.
Also, Bama lost four LBs in first game but we’re not using that excuse.
Bama hasn’t lost by a total of 31 points in five years and hasn’t lost to as low a ranked team as Iowa in over ten years.
Frenso State??????
They wont, and OSU is clearly not better.
SEC >> Big Ten
Who have they played, ITT and DeVry Tech?
Couldnt agree more.
And then people will bitch for 16 teams.
The old way was better. No arguments have ended.
Osu is in. No way can anyone justify 2 SEC teams going. Hell USC should be in before Alabama.
What team did Auburn play, Hoover H S
Actually that proves how tough the big 10 is. They just beat each other up. You know that same excuse sec used to always use when they were a good conference.
If we are going to use past seasons... Let’s look at last time osu won the big 10 title. They ended up winning it all.
But really you can only look at this season and Alabama didn’t play much of a schedule at all and more importantly they don’t deserve to go because they lost their final regular season game to a 3 loss team. And miss st the previous week exposed them as a Mediocre team.
No way should there be two teams from the same conference this year.
Alabama and OSU will probably lose in the first round though. So it doesn’t matter that much. Almost better to not go and just say see that picked the wrong team.
And if osu lost their final season game to Michigan and then Michigan lost the conference title game. Bama fans would say osu doesn’t deserve to go. Especially if Bama won their conference.
If osu doesn’t go out should be USC.
Lol. If Bama played osu schedule they would be lucky to be a. 500 team.
true, but its not even the best team in its division, let alone conference...
The last time I heard that was when osu won the title. Since then sec has been second rate.

The one remaining debate will be Alabama and Ohio State for the final spot. Our projection has Alabama as the fourth team, based on their having just one loss and Ohio State having an ugly 33-point loss to Iowa and struggling to beat a Wisconsin team the committee did not believe in. The counter-argument would be that Ohio State has better wins than Alabama and a conference championship. But that is probably not enough to jump all the way to the top four from No. 8.
