One thing that people also have to put into their consideration as well is that how a team is playing at the beginning of the season is not necessarily how they are playing at the end.
The argument used for Ohio is that they were young early in the year and are a far superior team compared to the team that lost to Virginia Tech. That's a fair statement.
But you have to be consistent with your commentary if you're going to cherry pick.
Oklahoma was a Top 5 program in the nation when TCU beat them. TCU's QB basically got killed against Baylor and their season gradually went downwards quickly.
Texas started the season very slow with a changing in coaching/culture as well as trying to find a QB. By the 2nd half of the season they were playing very good football before TCU plungered them.
It's way too simple to just look at the resume and assume that a 7-5 team was always a 7-5 team throughout the year. That's just simply not the case.
