Former Florida coach Steve Spurrier questions why the College Football Playoff game between Ohio State and Tennessee was hosted by the Buckeyes. He argues that Tennessee, with a 10-2 record, should have had the home advantage due to a similar overall record and schedule strength.
Ohio State may have dominated Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff, but one SEC coaching legend wonders if the venues should have been switched for that game.
“They were 10-2. Tennessee’s 10-2. Who had the tougher schedule, should get the home game, in my opinion. Cause they were like No. 8 and No. 9. Right there, together.” As to who deserved the home game? Clearly, the committee put more emphasis on Ohio State having a better strength of schedule, ranked 26th nationally, just ahead of Tennessee at 28.
