Can Someone Please Explain To Me How Ohio State Isn't Ranked #1?
Wait, Ohio State remains at #3 in the rankings.....? I simply do not understand how this is possible. And this isn't some homer blog where I'm seeing everything through Scarlet colored glasses. I don't care if it's Ohio's Tate, Penn's Tate, Georgia's Tate, or Michigan's Tate writing this blog: the Buckeyes have hands down, no doubt about it, undisputedly the best resume of any team in the country right now and they're not being treated as such. The fact that they're not #1 is textbook Employment Discrimination, because their resume shows they are overly qualified for the position, yet for some reason they're not even getting a chance. In fact, not only are they not #1 in the country, they only received THREE first place votes? Am I fucking blind? Because I literally cannot see how we aren't the unanimous top team in all polls. Look at these resumes:
#1 Georgia: ONE RANKED WIN (vs. #20 at the time Kentucky, who is now unranked)

#2 Michigan: ZERO RANKED WINS!!!!!! (best win is.....Nebraska? Minnesota? Rutgers?)
#3 Ohio State: TWO TOP TEN WINS (@ #9 Notre Dame, #7 Penn State, oh and another against 5-0 at the time Maryland, which is better than anything either of those two teams have done)
Could you imagine a world where an undefeated SEC team had two Top 10 wins and wasn't #1? Me either. But because we play outside of ESPN's little fantasy factory down South, we are being discriminated against. But then again, why is our Big Ten brethren Michigan so propped up despite playing a mid-level high school football schedule?
Is that a football schedule or a baker? Because all I'm seeing are CUPCAKES. I'm not joking when I say that St. Ed's out of Ohio is also 8-0 if that were who they played thus far this season. But unfortunately for them, Ohio High School Football is tougher than playing Bowling Green, East Carolina, and UNLV in the non-conference.
Michigan's lack of resume is so appalling that I cannot believe the way Twitter and the so called "experts" are sucking them off.
Kirk, HOW? You are a fucking Ohio State graduate and it's about time you acted like it. I'm not sure if I'm more upset that he put an undeserving Michigan #1 or a very deserving Ohio State #4. I fucking hate that guy, and he needs off Game Day immediately. Luckily, I know the perfect replacement, someone who actually knows ball: Brandon fucking Walker.

People have downplayed Ohio State's wins since the beginning of time, so this is nothing new for me. But what I don't understand is how anyone could be defending Georgia or Michigan right now? They have played NOBODY. And with the first College Football Playoff rankings coming out next week, that won't change in the near future. This week, Ohio State plays on the road against unranked 5-2 Wisconsin. Georgia plays unranked 5-2 Florida. And despite what ESPN will push out afterwards, those games are a wash. And Michigan has a Bye. So unless anyone loses, which they won't, I fully expect Ohio State to be #1 in those initial rankings because the committee has said time and time again that they go based on resume. If Ohio State isn't #1 in those rankings, I want a full on investigation into the matter.
