3. How Are There Still 4 Big Ten Teams In The Top Ten?

I just don’t understand why the Associated Press and the College Football Playoff committee was so obsessed with the Big Ten Conference in 2016. The only team that made it into the playoff was Ohio State, but they were demolished by the National Champions. Heck, they didn’t even score one point.

Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Michigan all finished inside of the AP’s top ten in their final poll. It’s just a little surprising to me since all of those teams, except for the Badgers, lost their bowl games.

From watching all of the bowl games, it was pretty clear that the Big Ten wasn’t the best football conference in America this year. It was clearly the ACC and it wasn’t close.
