No way, they want us or Oklahoma at 3 over the Irish. Notre Dame would receive a Michigan type beatdown from any of the other top 6.

In all reality that after last year, the coaches and players new what they had to do to be in the final 4. tOSU has had a GREAT year and whenthey win the title Saturday and the Rose Bowl it is a tremendous success. Just not the ultimate.,

Where is LSU's punishment for struggling with LaTech? Oh, right....only OSU gets punished for off-weeks.

Oh well. Put together another great performance this weekend and beat NW by as much as possible and let the chips fall where they may.
OSU team can always put on fake mustaches and glasses and try to get in the locker rooms on the 29th.

How can anyone honestly look at Florida/LSU and say "wow those are top 10 teams"?
It's really the year of the mediocre team, however they choose to prop up the mediocre SEC teams the most. After the top 8 (ill give UCF a bone) nobody is above mediocre this year.

Pretty much.
The B1G West not throwing out a 10 (or more) win team like in previous years bones us (Though we boned ourselves getting raked by Purdue)
NW is lose/lose. Buckeyes could win by 70 and it would be "oh well its just a 5 loss NW team that lost to Akron and Duke"
And of course a loss "proves" that Ohio State really wasnt that good.

Is Clemson's schedule really that much harder than UCF's? And UCF already put a 45-14 beatdown on Pitt the ACC Coastal Division Champion. If you simply switched the names of the schools I think the rankings would be different

I mean what is the distinction between Clemson and UCF that puts one at #2 and one at #8? That Clemson beat the mighty Syracuse?

It’s not the committee, IMO. It’s ESPN. They don’t want/need OSU unless OSU is going to replace a ratings dud (see TCU/Baylor).
They have Bama, Clemson, and ND. They don’t need OSU to clean up in ratings so they aren’t going to push for a team that directly hurts their future profitability (in bed with SEC and ACC).
While the Big 10 and Big 12 both have duel contracts (ESPN/Fox) only Big 10 games are setting CFB TV ratings records, and Fox has first pick of National Big 10 games.
The Big 10/Fox contract is a massive threat to ESPN. Anything they (ESPN) can do to minimize the Big 10’s success and prevent the continued market share gain of Fox in CFB ratings will happen. And you can’t say ESPN doesn’t have some say in the teams being selected. If you don’t think CFP members are being influenced by executives at ESPN, you are naive as hell.....these guys all know each other extremely well and most of the relationships go back decades. ESPN definitely has pull on who they want in after spending billions on the TV rights.
