Summary

Alabama made the playoff ahead of Ohio State. It wasn't a shock - the choice between the Crimson Tide and Buckeyes was a 50-50 proposition for weeks. But as Doug Lesmerises, Bill Landis and Tim Bielik break it down, did the College Football Playoff committee go about their decision-making process the right way? We look at the decision, then we compare Ohio State's 2015, 2016 and 2017 teams and then look ahead to the projected 2018 starters and whether Ohio State could be better next year.
