Having 1 less loss, having a loss to a team in the playoffs, and Stanford losing to northwestern is a much better argument for osu being ahead of Stanford.

USC got beat in their bowl game, Oregon and Northwestern both sucked and lost their bowl game (Mich St as well knocking OSU back a smidge) Stanford's top win going into their virtual home bowl game was a nail biting win at home versus Notre Dame....who Ohio State beat with much more ease.

1 more loss and wins not any better than OSU. Notre Dame knows who was the better team.

And based on your criteria, can you explain to me why Iowa was ranked ahead of both of them?

SportsAndLady;1775173 wrote:Why are you putting so much weight on conference championships?

Who had the better regular season:
Team A 11-1, 1 loss to a top 4 team
Team B, 10-2, 2 losses to borderline top 25 teams.

Not saying the B1G is any better but also not using conference championship as an argument.

The SEC is overrated. Nice argument!
