I don’t see how anyone who has watched college football with any consistency this year can vote for anyone besides Ohio State. They have been dominant. That said, Clemson might show us that all those inferior teams they played were not all that bad. Clemson is the defending champ, after all, and hasn’t lost in over 2 years. Lastly, should Oklahoma get in, a Jalen Hurts led team is hard to bet against.
Ohio St has been the most consistent team on both sides of the ball.
On the other hand, they (just like Alabama and some other teams) have had a two-game regular season (Michigan and Penn St), so who knows? They do appear to be a very good team and have a very good defense, but this might all get exposed as a "The Big Ten is a mediocre conference" farce, too.
Clemson might be good or they, too, might be the product of an incredibly weak conference. If it can be fairly said that Ohio St and Alabama had a two-game season that's two games more than Clemson has had this year. Again - they MIGHT be good.
As far as OU, they're not very good at all and ARE the product of mediocrity. What can you say when Mississippi State was a tougher game for Kansas St than OU was?
