I've already said OSU isn't on that same level. They're right below them as the only other team to win more than 1 CFP game and to also win a NC. That NC is huge. Also, as far as appearances go, OSU has had 2 seasons with 1 loss where they didn't make the CFP. Bama and Clemson have gotten in every time with 1 loss (Alabama 3 times, Clemson 2 times). When you have a subjective committee, it makes that a bit of a moot point.
No other team has been as consistently good as OSU outside of Clemson and Bama other than OU, and they've embarrassed themselves in 3 of the 4 appearances they've made. Not only that, they have 9 fewer wins in the CFP era than OSU, while we're only 3 behind Clemson and Bama. Again, the total wins and CFP Titles echo my thoughts exactly.
When your one loss is by 30 to Iowa one year and 30 to Purdue another. It makes the decision pretty easy for the committee.
I was 100 times more impressed with OSU this year than any other year. Adding Fields to the offense, with a defense anchored by most likely 2 of the top 3 picks in the draft. This, to me, was the best team OSU has had. I had a UM fan say to me Fields wasn’t an elite QB and I fell out of my chair laughing. I dread having to face him next year.
