OSU was blown out at home by Oklahoma and destroyed by an unranked Iowa team one week later, 55 to 24. There is no way the committee would pick them over Alabama. Ain’t happening.
Don’t bet the mortgage on that. When they beat Wisconsin they would have beaten 2 top 10 CFP teams in Penn State and Wisconsin, beaten top 15 Michigan State, lost to No 1 or No 2 Oklahoma. And they would have just been crowned champs of the best conference in college football.
