The eye test looks at the helmet. The teams that keep changing it will always fail.
I doubt they looked but anOSU was/would have been #4 in the 2014 BCS Proxy.
Condoleezza Rice was a Stanford gal but she was impressed with OSU and didn’t buy into the TCU/Baylor hype. The entire 2014 selection committee took a bow.
I wonder sometimes about the metrics of the situation Duke is in right now. Up 1 late, if you drive for a TD to go up 7, maybe going for 2 to make it a 2 score game and virtually close it out. Seems feasible, maybe more so if there is a great offense on the other side. Your own short yardage D would also be a factor in terms of stopping their 2 pt. try if you kicked the XP to go up 8.
