You don't Mich St. stands a chance against OSU?
Like I said............. unless there is an upset. Sure, Mich St has a chance
It would be absurd to put a 1 loss in and keep an undefeated out. Ohio State went undefeated 2 years in a row. I know last year doesn't mean anything for this year but I'm just saying.
A SEC less championship I think would actually be good for this year. Give somebody else a chance. 9/10 years they are in it. They had their chances this year too but key teams lost and that means something. A loss counts for something as does undefeated count for something.
Body of work, though, has to mean something. Do you put in an undefeated team that almost lost to unranked sorry ass Michigan in over an Auburn team with one loss that plays in the toughest and highest ranked division in the highest ranked toughest conference in all of football? If Auburn wins out over Mizzou, they should get in. Trust me as an Arkansas fan, I hate seeing them go. But they've earned it. One other thing, Ohio State in those two years played nobody.
If it goes by strength of schedule look at who Auburn played and look at who Ohio State played. Undefeated if you are playing nobody does not count for something ask Boise State a couple years back.
An undefeated from a major conference is better than a 1 loss. 1 loss had their chances. And those teams lost. If you want to control your destiny you have to win. They didn't play nobody in those years. Michigan, Michigan St., Wisconsin are typically ranked teams and sometimes highly ranked.
The big ten has been down for years. Remember the last time "the" Ohio State University played in the national title game? They lost. Hell, the past two times, they lost. Both to SEC schools, Florida and LSU--TWO LOSS LSU AT THAT! Here is my thing, you are not comparing fairly the teams they played. And before you say that it is not their fault who they play. They have the opportunity to schedule tougher out of conference opponents. They choose not to do so. Week in, week out, there is no tougher conference then the SEC. Week in, week out, there is no tougher division then the SEC west.
TOSU schedule:
Buffalo (8-4; 6-2 MAC)

Cal (1-11; 0-9 Pac 12) f**kING CAL?!?!?! LULZ
F A&M (3-9; 2-6 MEAC)
#23 Wisc (9-3; 6-2 in the Big Ten)--Your best hope is a team whose Head Coach is at Arkansas?!?! That lost by a touchdown?
#16NW (5-7; 1-7 in the Big Ten) Best thing about NW football is that Mike Greenberg went to school there.
Iowa (8-4; 5-3 Big Ten)
Penn State (7-5; 4-4 in the Big Ten)
Purdue (1-11; 0-8 in the Big Ten)
Illinois (4-8; 1-7 in the Big Ten)

Michigan 42-41 (7-5; 3-5 in the Big Ten)
#10 Michigan State TBD The highest ranked team they play does not even crack the top five?
2013 Auburn schedule
WSU (6-6; 4-5 Pac 12)
ASU (7-5; 5-2 Sun Belt)
Miss St (6-6; 3-5 SEC
)
#6LSU LOSS (9-3; 5-3 SEC )
#24 Ole Miss (7-5; 3-5 SEC )
W. California (2-10; 1-7 SoCon) I know, right? LULZ
#7 Texas A&M (8-4; 4-4 SEC )
Fla Atlantic (6-6; 4-4 C-USA)
Arkansas (3-9; 0-8 SEC ARGH!

#25 Georgia (8-4; 5-3 SEC)
#1 Alabama (11-1; 7-1 SEC and 3 out of 4 Naty titles )
#5 Missouri (TBD)
Look, I am not happy at all that Gus Malzahn may be a game away from playing for the Natty at Auburn, but damnit they earned this trip. And if they win over the number #5 team in the country? You have to give them the nod. Just look at the quality of the schedule. It really is that simple.
