College Football Playoff selection committee Boo Corrigan said the committee is impressed by the Buckeyes’ explosive offense and nation-best 32-point average margin of victory.
The 13 people who will ultimately decide whether or not Ohio State makes the College Football Playoff and where the Buckeyes will be seeded if they make the CFP are impressed by what they’ve seen from the Buckeyes so far.
College Football Playoff selection committee chairman Boo Corrigan cited Ohio State’s explosive offense as a significant factor that impressed the committee and convinced them to rank the Buckeyes above the Bulldogs. The top two spots in the CFP rankings mirror the national rankings for scoring offense, as Tennessee is the only team that scored more points per game this season than Ohio State .
“Ohio State has a powerful offense and a very solid defense. Impressive win last week over Penn State,” Corrigan said in a teleconference following the release of the initial rankings. “But Tennessee’s two wins against those two strong opponents really made a difference.” “Georgia is an exceedingly solid team that the committee really likes and felt good about who they are,” Corrigan said. “Obviously, the dominant win at the beginning of the season against Oregon turned a lot of heads. Their defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in the first quarter, which was part of our discussion.”
