The formula decided the Buckeyes (11-1) boasted the most unimpeachable credentials, likely because Ohio State was the only "elite" team with one loss. Of course, that loss came at home to unranked Illinois in the season's penultimate game. Of course, Kansas (10-1) has a nearly identical profile, except the Jayhawks absorbed their sole loss at a neutral site against a top-five team (Missouri).

This is the same Ohio State team that didn't play, much less beat, a single top-20 team. And it's a decidedly lesser version of the Buckeyes bunch that was decimated in the desert by Florida in last season's title game 41-14. But, hey, none of that matters. Deep Blue likes the Buckeyes, so you'll swallow Ohio State and like it.

I think Hawaii played a top 20 team.

BUT LSU's two loses were in triple overtime, and there were rumors their coach was leaving..hard to get the team up to snuff when their coach might be gone..

The deciding factor however was GA lost to Tenn. and LSU beat Tenn in the SEC championship game...LSU has been denied the last three years, this year, they got their due.
