I don't have to justify anything. The playoff committee agrees with me.
And I am not equating anything. But to claim that beating an FBS team that was no competition, is somehow acceptable, while playing an FCS team should disqualify you from the playoffs is ridiculous.
Rutgers ended last season with a resounding 4-8 record. Oregon State finished 1-11 last year. Illinois finished the 2017 season with a record of 2-10. The fact that they play in the FBS does not make any them any less of a cupcake team for Ohio State.
And, lest you forget, and FCS team knocked off 13th ranked VA Tech last weekend.
