Posted in the cult thread as well:

To me the blind test shows OSU has the best resume by far and it's not close.

After that it's pretty equal.

Michigan is out because they lose the conference championship tie breaker (and have two losses).

Penn State, Clemson and Washington all have conference championships and resumes that are roughly equal.

In that scenario, Penn State has two losses while Clemson and Washington have 1.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Final AP poll is out:

Records vs ranked teams:

Ohio State 4-1
Penn State 4-2
Michigan 3-2
Washington 2-1

Records vs top 10 teams:

Ohio State 3-1
Penn State 2-1
Michigan 2-1
Washington 0-1

So why is the order of these four teams, not exactly like that? Seems pretty obvious to me.

If anything it seems extremely clear who the best team out of these 4 is.

How long ago was that 72-0 ass drubbing he took? Talk about holding a grudge.

Oh well, I really can't imagine that anyone in a position of responsibility pays a lot of attention to him. ESPiN keeps him around for his trolling, entertainment factor.....and his Eurkel-like good looks.

I'd fear Clemson the most if I was them.

I fear anybody with a highly accurate qb. That's what you have to do, mix up your offensive formations, and be accurate. All this mobile qb crap has been fixed. You have to beat them mentally.

It looks like about 60% of media has OSU in the playoff. I wonder if the committee is split in the same manner?

I like what Jason Seahorn and one guy on sports reporters I don't remembers name both said. Basically, on a nuetral field, who do you think wins. Bang

OSU I believe in anyone's mind including the book makers in Vegas has OSU favored over every team except Bama.

With that criteria, I would have Bama OSU Clemson and scum myself.
