Texas favored by 11.5 over Clemson
OSU -6.5 over Tennessee
ND -7.5 over IU.
Penn St -7.5 over SMU.

Because the season is more than 1 data point.  SMU is actually well ahead of Clemson (10th vs 16th). 

The same reason ND is ranked ahead of Northern Illinois.

If Texas and UGA make the final, they shouldn't play again.  UGA is the NC.

I don't count Michigan as a bad loss for OSU. Michigan has a 7-5 record and it's the biggest rivalry game in the land.

NIU has a 7-5 record in the MAC. That's a bad loss.
NIU is definitely way worse and thank you for trying to make excuses for my team but that absolutely was and is a bad loss. Ohio State was a ~3TD favorite for good reason. Also, it isn't like Michigan just played a ridiculously great game. Their offense was atrocious and Ryan Day found a way for our offense to be worse.

In the good ole days, ND would be ranked 2nd going into the bowls.  #1 Oregon would be facing Ohio State in a RB rematch.
Probably would have the Irish facing Georgia in the Sugar.  Penn State playing Texas in the Cotton.  Maybe Miami and Tennessee in the Orange Bowl.  
Indiana facing someone like SMU in the Fiesta.

I suspect a major bowl would invite Alabama just because of eye balls.

I think OSU should be in PSU's spot.
I strongly agree with this.

O'Gara: Takeaways from the final Playoff Poll of 2024 ... did the selection committee get it right?
O'Gara: Takeaways from the final Playoff Poll of 2024 ... did the selection committee get it right?

Sorry, Alabama fans.
But if you believe that SMU losing in the ACC Championship on a last-second field goal should’ve knocked out the Mustangs in favor of the idle Tide, ask yourself this: How much arguing for Alabama in the Playoff did you do after the 21-point loss to 6-win Oklahoma? Not much. Better yet, how much arguing did you do that Alabama should be ranked ahead of a 1-loss SMU team when that happened? Not much, either.
That’s the issue. SMU running the table in ACC play isn’t the same as running the table in SEC play. We can agree on that. But going 11-2 with field-goal losses to ranked teams wasn’t some Group of 5 résumé.
And here’s the other thing: So in this world in which Alabama should’ve made the field — according to Nick Saban’s unbiased opinion — how many losses would’ve been too many? Four? And should another one of those losses have come against a 6-6 team? At some point, Alabama couldn’t just ignore the losses.



“Did 5-seed Texas get a better draw than 1-seed Oregon?
Think about it. Texas will face 12-seed Clemson, which finally just beat an FBS team with 8 wins. Also of note, Clemson went 0-2 vs. the SEC, and Texas’ only losses came against No. 2 seed Georgia. The Longhorns, if they can make that an 0-3 mark for Clemson vs. the SEC, would get to face Arizona State in a quarterfinal matchup.
Oregon, meanwhile, will face the winner of that aforementioned Tennessee-Ohio State game. Are both of those teams tougher than Clemson and Arizona State? That’s debatable. Lord knows nobody should overlook Arizona State after it went 11-1 with Sam Leavitt as the starter.
It’s at least a conversation. Oregon could possibly have a path to the title game that consists of Ohio State in a rematch and a Texas team that just earned the top Playoff berth. Who knows? Maybe Oregon could have to beat Penn State again. Two rematches and a date with Sarkisian would be quite the challenge.
