Yes, no doubt. They have been by far the best and most consistent team in CFB this year.

Just because Bama looks unbeatable doesn't mean the playoffs are a waste of time. Said the same thing about a lot of other teams on a lot of other occasions, including the grey cup yesterday.
On a more interesting note, pretty much every article and source I'm reading has OSU with a good shot at making the playoff. Some are saying they are an outright lock and that one of PSU or Washington will be left on the outside looking in.
I don't want to see conference championships made completely irrelevant, but this is the right decision. Penn State is a two loss team who lost by 40 points to Michigan. However if they beat Wisconsin convincingly and Washington barely squeaks by in their championship I would have no problem seeing two B10 teams make it.

I know right? Why even bother with the playoffs this year, let's just hand the trophy to the tide and call it a day. Isn't that what everyone was saying yesterday with regards to Calgary? There's a reason why they play the games.
That poster must be an SEC guy. He was the one who when the first playoff rankings came out and had A&M 4th ahead of Washington said he agreed with it because it's not their fault they had to play the big bad tide. What did they do the following week, they lost to a 5-7 Miss St. team.
I completely agree with you. Ohio State and Clemson both deserve to be in the playoffs. I don't care that Ohio State isn't playing in the B1G Championship game, there resume speaks for itself. If the Huskies take care of business this weekend, they are in as well.
