Thought experiment: any other big 10 team replicates ohio states exact season this year. Are they in the playoff?
Michigan, Wisconsin, penn state: probably
Michigan State, iowa, nebraska: probably not
Illinois, indiana, purdue, northwestern, minnesota, rutgers, maryland: no chance in hell
If any other big 12 team has oklahoma's exact season, are they in the 6 spot?
Texas: yes
Every other team: LOL they'd be ranked 18th
