Kirk's only bad take today is Penn State in my opinion. The 3rd and 4th best teams in the Big Ten played in their championship game. dems da facts and I don't really care what happened in Indianapolis tonight w/r/t the playoff.
The playoff committee is about to get tested

No you can win your league and not get in. It's winning your conference tourney that gets you win which is even worse. "Regular season" championship is much more deserving. Remember a few years ago UGA got in with a losing record b/c they won the SEC tourney which means a much better team got left out.

Yeah he said OSU was definitely in. Help me understand why this is and why all the love for OSU? They didn't win their conference and haven't looked good against tough competition. Why are they "a given"? The only definites are Bama and Clemson from my perspective. What say you?
Wait, you're willingly running 22 miles? With no-one / nothing chasing you? WTH is wrong with you?
I... I don't think I know you...
One thing is for certain. This is a mess. I don't see how they can leave out Washington with one loss and a thumping in the championship game.
Does the eye test, number of loses or head to head, league championship carry the most weight in the B1G to the committee?
Will be interesting to see.

I think most people see them as one of the four best teams. Plus it's really difficult for people to let go of the old way of doing things. With the old polls, most people can't fathom a team being ranked 2nd one week and then 5th the next, without having played (lost) a game in between. That's what it would take to keep OSU out of the playoffs. It's crazy actually.
I believe TCU was bumped three spots back in the last rankings in 2014. So, that should give OSU fans some concern. PSU won their conference championship, won 11 games, and beat OSU. I don't think PSU jumps Washington. Looks like Bama, OSU or PSU, Clemson, and Washington.
Well if you listen to the media, UDub has the best loss of anyone because USC would beat ANYONE right now.
The controversy ESPN is trying to stir is nonexistent. The order of 2 & 3 may flip (I doubt it nor does it really matter) but this bracket is solid at this point.

Yes this is my point with OSU being a given especially knowing the committee's criteria of winning the conference and head to head match ups in which Penn St. Did both compared to OSU.
That's what I meant by "winning your conference". That's the general use for that phrase.
Yep, TCU was 3rd and got bumped. They won by 40+ in the previous week and watched in horror as OSU trounced Wisky with a 3rd string QB.
I was a big fan of the BCS and if the BCS still existed the matchup would be Alabama vs. Ohio State for all the marbles.
And Penn St. Beat them head-to-head and won the conference, both of which are key committee criteria's. 2011 was BCS era. This is committee era. Totally different.
Strength of schedule? 7 cupcakes and struggled with 2 of them. I don't buy it.
