They get it even in normal years. That year they lost to a awful Syracuse team it was pretty much written off right away

The difference is a healthy Clemson has demonstrated a higher ceiling than the Bucks when they pasted Miami and several other cupcakes. I’d be slightly more annoyed if the Buckeyes destroyed Indiana but that didn’t happen.

Can’t let up in the second half of 3/4 of your games and bitch about the ESPN beauty pageant.
Just win out and go play. You are going to have to beat two good teams if you want a NC no matter what your seed is.

"OSU at full strength displayed a lot of issues on defense, so we kept them at four this week. Next question."
Instead, they went with either blatant stupidity or obvious trolling, possibly both.

They can’t leave ND and Clemson 2/3 so it looks pretty obvious that they plan to make Clemson 2, OSU 3 and ND 4 after Clemson beats them in the rematch.

LSU only beat 1 good team last year in the playoff. OU is a joke

I should have been clearer, Ohio State is going to have to beat two good teams. The SEC champ will get the easiest path the CFP, and SEC refs, can provide.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Or ND beats them again for some reason and I get to laugh my ass off.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This is 2020, no game is a "lock". It's still possible that ND beats Clemson in the ACC Championship Game knocking Clemson out he the CFPs. Actually I don't think a Power 5 Conference 2nd place team should be in the CFPs anyway, the conference championships should be a considered a quarter final game.
Yeah.....

They’ve played twice as many games and weren’t at full strength. It’s a fair ranking.

As long as the Buckeyes remain undefeated, however, they will reach the playoffs.
Nothing has changed for Ohio State.
So, the advice when it comes to the College Football Playoff rankings remains the same as ever for the Buckeyes.
Ignore them. Resist the urge to debate any nonsensical logic. Remember that none of these early polls truly matter, even if they’re supposedly a glimpse into how this new committee is going to evaluate teams.
Now, that approach is nothing new here or for the Buckeyes, of course. But it’s even more true and important in this bizarre, nonconference-free, pandemic-shortened season to block out the pointless distractions that can come from focusing on the weekly update from the College Football Playoff voters. For the record, Ohio State checked in at No. 4 on Tuesday night during the first unveiling of that poll this season — but it could have been the top team or left off the ballots entirely and it wouldn’t make a difference.
If the Buckeyes run the table and win their fourth-consecutive Big Ten title, they are absolutely going to be in the four-team field. There is just no question at all about that, and using the current polls to try to find a hypothetical scenario that would leave Ohio State out of the mix is a complete waste of time. It simply won’t happen.
