No surprise. OSU needed to win by a few touchdowns last night to have a chance.

I’m glad the committee treated OSU like they did Penn State last year.

Wisconsin before Ohio State anyway...

Yeah, but I bet Urban’s pissed.

In both the AP and College Football coaches’ poll, Alabama ranks ahead of OSU ... JUST BARELY in both polls:

Clemson, I suspect, would have been a 4 or 5 point favorite versus OSU and will be something close to even money v. Alabama; and maybe even a slight underdog if Alabama can get healthier.

I don’t quarrel with the committee’s conclusion that Alabama has a better shot at winning the national championship than Ohio State. Mad respect for Alabama.

I just don’t think that this is the right metric or methodology, and I think it all does great violence to the conference structure. I value conferences highly and I think University Presidents and boards of trustees should make those conferences paramount.
