[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 4529618, member: 12310"] Ultimately, the loss to Iowa couldn’t be overcome. But a small correction. Ohio State didn’t play Iowa after the bye. Rather, the game was on the road sandwiched between the wins over Penn State and Michigan State. The Buckeyes have been a maddeningly inconsistent team since 2015. I also think that played into the Committee’s decision. Would the team who played Oklahoma in Norman in 2016, MSU in 2017 etc show up or the team that played Iowa in 2017 or Clemson in 2016 show up? There’s one consistency during that time - JT Barrett and Urban’s love affair with him. I love JT Barrett. His guts and leadership are unparalleled. He’s in the pantheon of Buckeye Greats, but he could never overcome his limitations. He left at least 21 points on the field against Wisky and his mistakes gave them 15. What could have been a 42-6 win or even worse turned out to be a 27-21 nail biter win, and they needed a blow out. I am looking forward to the post-JT era. After 24 hours of reflection, the Committee got it right and Alabama is both the better team and more deserving. Yet, they are a flawed team that is overrated. Hurts reminds me of Barrett. Clemson will win by at least two touchdowns. [/QUOTE]
