Are the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2016/2017 College Football Playoff? Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany sure thinks so.
One of the most powerful men in college athletics swung by the College GameDay set outside the Big Ten Championship Game between the third and fourth best team in the conference and stated declaratively that Ohio State had “unequivocally” proven their playoff worth. He added that while Alabama and Ohio State were “in” in his mind, Michigan and a ‘few other teams’ also merited inclusion. He never mentioned either team playing for the Big Ten title in the segment.
