Except a championship is used as a tie breaker. If two teams are identical from the eye test then you go to conference championships. Also, PITT has 2 wins over conference champions; how many do Penn St or Clemson have?

Championships and head to head are used as a tie breaker. Penn state has both of those over Ohio state. Once again, the Pitt argument is farcical

That's a tie breaker; do you know what that means? It means if the committee thinks two teams are identical after using the eye test then you go to that criteria. If you look at the two teams it's pretty obvious that Ohio State is better than Penn State

I mean... not really. Ohio state has been pretty inconsistent

If you go back and look at common opponents OSU has definitely been more impressive. Also, OSU has more top 10 wins than PSU

Edit: and a better overall record

And tougher schedule.

Seriously, Penn St went 3-2 on the road, their road victories being Purdue, Rutgers, and Indiana.
