Did Ohio State Deserve a College Football Playoff Berth?
Ohio State earned its bid to the College Football Playoff this past weekend after beating the Northwestern Wildcats in the Big Ten Championship game. The Buckeyes got in as the No. 3 seed and they'll play Clemson in the semifinal on New Years Day.
But not everyone agrees they should have gotten in this year because they only played six games - especially Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who took another shot at Ohio State this week.
But we believe the Buckeyes earned their chance because of the way they've won games in varying fashions this year. They have an elite, balanced, star-studded offense and showcased an outstanding defense last week when they needed it most.
Watch the video above for why we think Ohio State rightfully earned its place in the Playoff and what the Scarlet and Gray will need to do in order to beat Clemson next week.
