If the goal is to pick the 4 best teams in the country, then Alabama definitely deserves it over Ohio State, I think.
Precisely. That's what this is all about.
Granted, the gap between Alabama and Ohio State isn't enormous. Alabama hasn't looked that dominant late in the season, and they're really banged up on defense. There is a valid argument for Ohio State. But at the end of the day, losing twice -- including a 31-point loss to Iowa -- was too much to overcome.
If Ohio State beat Wisconsin by 30+, perhaps they get in. Or, if Ohio State only lost to Iowa by 3, perhaps they get in. But, that didn't happen.
