My logic is that the Buckeyes would get smoked in the playoff because the guy taking the snaps isn't good enough.

Considering JT is a better QB than Jalen Hurts, look for Alabama to get smoked?

Yep.

The defense of recent poor B1G bowl performances has always been the fact that B1G teams were picked for BCS at-large games they probably didn't deserve because of revenue, so every other B1G team had to play 'up' -- B1G teams wound up being installed as underdogs in a plurality of their bowls disproportionate to other conferences.

This season, B1G teams are favored in 6 of their 8 bowls. The SEC, with two teams in the CFP, are .500 with a pick'em.

Now would be a good time to end the chirping.

It was also a matter of bowl tie-ins. I dont know how it looks since they redid it all for CFP era, but in BCS the Big10 and PAC had less mid-major tie-ins. ACC had most, and on top of that also had several Big East tie-ins.
It's the same issue you see today with scheduling. B1G bats for the fences ... generally PAC does too. No FCS, at least 1 P5 OOC, 9 conf games ... I don't know what rules PAC has but I feel safe saying they schedule FCS significantly less than SEC and ACC w/o even looking it up.

If he lets South Carolina beat him, he will be Mr. Irrelevant...seeing as how:

Iowa, Purdon't, Sparty, Nerds, Buckeyes, Pedsters, AND Bucky all won their games.

they win or LOSE doesn't matter. The BIG bowl record will be perfect in my eyes.
