As many of the wags said this morning, the 4 teams in the playoff beat every team on their schedule. In Oklahoma’s case, their loss was to Texas, who they beat in the Big 12 Conference Championship.
As opposed to Georgia, who lost to LSU and didn’t win their Conference. Or Ohio State, who lost badly to Purdue, even though they destroyed Michigan and won handily in their Conference Championship.
Ya gotta win to get in. And neither Georgia nor Ohio State won the games they had to win.
Tell that to Alabama... who got in despite losing perviously.
