Dabo: Ohio State doesn't belong in the CFPs this year due to shorter schedule

[kingofnerf]

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney thinks Ohio State’s limited schedule should put the Buckeyes at a playoff disadvantage.

Swinney was on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Friday and said that he believed teams that have played more games should get favorable treatment from the College Football Playoff committee over teams that have played fewer games.

No. 4 Ohio State (5-0) will be at six games after the Big Ten championship game thanks to having three games canceled due to COVID-19. No. 3 Clemson, meanwhile, is set to play No. 2 Notre Dame for the ACC title on Dec. 19. That game will be the 11th for each team.

“I think the fact that we’re going to have 11 games as well as the SEC teams — you look at Florida and Texas A&M and Alabama — these teams are going to have 11 games this year it’s incredible,” Swinney said. “And I think the Big Ten had the same opportunity and they chose not to play and I think the only reason they ended up playing is because of the leadership of the SEC, the ACC and the Big 12. And have demonstrated that we can do it and do it in safe way.”

IMO I don’t think there should be a playoff and NC this year. It will forever have an * by it because so many teams had their seasons cut short.

Says the coach that got his last game cancelled so it couldn't ruin their spot.

Agree completely.  I think it's the right message, just the wrong messenger.

It amazes me that he can see that logic, but completely misses the fact that Clemson plays high school teams all season, but he still loves to tout their record.

Dildo can blame the Buckeyes short schedule when they finally lose to OSU in the playoffs. Notre Shame should not even be there given their ass whipping from the Taters. Them getting over the Aggies is BS.

Cincy and Costal both won their conference and played a full schedule, imo, although they would get killed they are more deserving of a slot that Ohio or Notre Dame.

By that logic, shouldn't princess tater be disqualified for the Heisman since he didn't play all of his games?

I think Clemson beats OSU by at least as much as they beat Notre Dame.
