On the resume screen shot they did for the Buckeyes resume for the CFP it said they are 53rd in strength of schedule.

If they don't get in ultimately it is going to be because they haven't played anyone. Sparty getting blown out in the only 2 games they played against decent teams doesn't help at all since that is the Buckeyes signature win this season.

I think the best thing that is going to come out of the new playoff is that it will force teams to start really playing better schedules.

You are so wrong, it's not even funny. If OSU plays Youngstown state in week two instead Va Tech, they are number three in the country right now. In a conference with a championship game, it's now stupid to schedule any one with a pulse in the non-conference. Win all of your games and you are in the playoff.

Scheduling is so objective. A team good now could be terrible in 6 years and vice versa.

If the committee places a portion of their consideration on who you beat you are going to see teams scrambling to add better games.

They have Oregon (with a loss) in front of FSU, TCU in front of Baylor (who they lost to).

They are sending a message about how they view strength of schedule and who you beat.

The BCS rewarded beating up on patsies. The committee is not going to.

I disagree. If you're referring in particular to OOC games are you telling me SEC teams play brutal OOC schedules? Tennessee Martin, South Alabama, Chattanooga, Western Carolina, LA- Lafayette are no different than playing MAC games. I'd say in some cases those are even easier OOC games.

It's about being undefeated at the end of the in-conference schedules.

I hope they lose out the rest of the way, because I think Ga Tech and Miami would both have a better shot of beating FSU in the ACC title game (even though it's like 2% chance vs 0%).
Duke went on the road and beat a GT team that will be top 20......who is GT's best win away from home?

Duke isn't beating FSU anywhere and neither is Georgia Tech.

In an 8-team playoff, scheduling will be more important. You will start having teams with 2 losses in the conversation, and debates over 2-loss teams and 1-loss teams. Eventually, it will become like basketball where WHO you beat and WHERE matters a lot more than W/L total.

Ohio State has pretty much shot itself in the foot.

Win out, beat Nebraska in the B1G championship game, and head to the Fiesta Bowl.

I still believe Auburn/Bama will have 2 losses and be top 5 or 6 this year in going for top 4.

You guys are retarded. We got the win, osu didn't need to "blow them the fuck out" they needed to win.

Besides, osu only won by 7 but the game was never in jeopardy.

9-1 with back to back top 25 wins over ranked opponents on the road. Be happy you morons.

All that matters in getting in to the playoff. All undefeated teams in the Big 5 will get in. Not only are you a troll, you suck at it.

Not often I agree, but I do. If not for OSU shooting themselves in the foot, they would have won this game by 21 or more. They dominated the game except for the score.

Virginia Tech was a horrible loss and will cost the Buckeyes a chance to win a title.
