As the College Football Playoff selection committee spent Saturday night and Sunday morning choosing the teams that would make the sport’s final four, two separate arguments raged in the college football-loving world. Only one of them mirrored a discussion in the committee room.
Argument No. 1: Ohio State should not make the playoff over Penn State because Penn State beat Ohio State and won the Big Ten title. This is a philosophical discussion.
Argument No. 2: Washington should not make the playoff over Penn State because Penn State’s résumé is better than Washington’s.
