It would be interesting to see where Ohio State would rank if they played someone other than mediocre high school teams. The “Big 10” is a standing joke, but will always be overrated because it’s a vast Midwest media market with tons of viewers. Follow the money.

Just a reminder that OSU is one of only three teams to win a championship in the playoff era. Alabama and Clemson are the others.

The “Big 10” is a standing joke

Oh please. Ohio State won the first ever BCS tournament championship in 2014 (2015) by beating Alabama and Oregon.

Nobody gave them a chance to beat Miami in 2002 when they won that national championship.

You're going to call Wisconsin a high school team? BS.

Funny how the NFL overlooks these talentless jokes from the Big 10 every draft year...oh wait.

Anybody who doesn't think OSU deserves to be there can cool their jets until after they play Penn State (ranked), Michigan (ranked), and the Big 10 championship game (likely ranked).

According to Sagarin's strength of schedule, of the top 4 teams, OSU's strength of schedule is second to LSU.

What a joke the Big 10 conference is, having teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin, heck even Minnesota. We won't count MSU who's had a couple tough years even though their normally ranked right up there near the top.

If the Buckeyes win out, they deserve the berth. If they lose, then go ahead and choose another one of those media-darling SEC teams.
