[QUOTE="WhiteRhino, post: 1362223, member: 633721"] I completely agree with your points. I think Ohio State had a valid argument for getting into the playoff ahead of Alabama. Alabama had a really weak non-conference schedule and didn't beat any really good teams in the SEC; Ohio State had better wins and an overall tougher schedule. The Iowa loss seemed to be the sole excuse people gave to keep them behind Alabama. The one thing of note regarding the B1G is that they were underdogs in several of their early bowl wins, which shows they weren't getting as much respect, as a conference, as they probably deserved.
