Just remember...if not for the new Playoff format, Ohio state would not have sniffed the championship.
So at the very least the Playoffs helped a team in a good way.
I really did not think Ohio State deserved to be in. I thought the only reason they were in was because the big 12 screwed the pooch on how they handled things and the committee did not want to do the big 12's work for them.
After that I thought Alabama was going to wipe the floor with them. They wiped the floor with Alabama.
I still did not believe Ohio State had what it takes THIS year due to a third string QB. Though Oregon would wipe the floor with them.
Ohio State wiped the floor with Oregon. What is shocking is they did it even by losing the Turn over battle by a large margin.
It is rare to see a team turn the ball over that much and still dominate another team.
Ohio state proved it was deserving of the playoffs and it proved it was deserving of the Championship.
Scary thing is, everyone was thinking they were a year away.
One last thing...I seen people on a college football board that were convinced that the Ohio State Wisconsin big 10 championship game was fixed so Ohio State could get in. Never mind the stupidity of the thought that Wisconsin would go along with it to be steam rolled like that...just like most conspiracy nutters they refused to believe it was anything other than a set up game for Ohio State to get a Big 10 team into the playoffs.
Well...Wisconsin beat down, Alamaba Beat down..Oregon BEAT DOWN.
Not a conspiracy...TRUTH.
Which sucks to say all of that because frankly I was hoping oregon would win it.
