When they showed Ohio State's schedule last night it really pissed me off, then Homer Herbstreit gets on to defend it. "Saying if they make it through that schedule with no losses they definitely deserve to be in the playoff". Listen Ohio State looks impressive and they are a great team, but the fact that they play no competition will have them in great shape for when they get to the playoffs.
The fact that they have that schedule though is a joke.
Looking at the AP rankings and schedule for the top 5....
1. Ohio state plays 1 ranked team (Michigan State #5)
2. TCU plays 2 ranked teams (Oklahoma #19, Baylor #4)
3. Bama plays 7 ranked teams (Wisconsin #20, Ole Miss #17, Georgia #9, Arkansas #18, Tennessee #25, LSU #14, Auburn #6)
4. Baylor plays 2 ranked teams (Oklahoma #19, TCU #2)
5. Michigan State plays 2 ranked teams (#7 Oregon, #1 Ohio State)
Out of the top 5, bama plays the same number of ranked teams as the other four teams COMBINED.....
