College Football Playoff Committee Chairman Warde Manuel said Ohio State and Tennessee's 'similar résumés' led to 'thorough discussion' by the committee.
The College Football Playoff Committee had quite the challenge in front of them when it came to ranking Ohio State and Tennessee.
“When you look at their résumés, they're very similar,” Manuel said during a media teleconference. “In terms of how we saw them came down to the vote, and the discussion was heavy on both sides, really giving a lot of credit to both teams and then talking about some of their losses.” While the Buckeyes and Volunteers both endured similar losses, Ohio State earned a pair of wins over two other College Football Playoff qualifiers — Penn State and Indiana — while Tennessee’s best win came against No. 11 Alabama, which was the first team held out of the 12-team bracket.
