    the problem with all these articles is that the writers and talking heads on ESPN are giving credit to tOSU for good losses against Penn State despite PSU not being ranked at the time and then jumping a million spots into the top 15 while at the same time not giving credit for UW beating #7 Stanford (at the time of the game/ranking)...it's a double standard that fits the narrative of their confirmation biases to get the teams with big names in the Big 10 and SEC into the playoffs for....wait for it... TV ratings. #Shocker.

    It doesn't matter where a team was or wasn't ranked when you played them. You use all the information at hand, not the limited amount of information we had at that point in time.

    It's not a double standard, the same would be true if, for example, Rutgers turned into a juggernaut after we beat them. That would be a quality win now even though it didn't look like it at the time.

    As it should be.
    you think Penn State is now a juggernaut? have you seen them play?

    have you seen Ohio State play? with the exception of JT Barrett and his broken play runs they don't look like a top 4 team. Clemson with close wins at home?

    Have you seen Stanford play?

    The real political crime in the system is the midtier teams losing up, they turn into pawns in the SOS game. PSU, Auburn, FSU, Ole Miss for a while. The quality win ranking game is bullshit.
