The reason for this, apparently, is that The Ohio State was undefeated. At that point, the Buckeyes did not have a single victory over any of the Top 25 teams in the BCS. They had just mauled Wisconsin at home, which seemed reasonably impressive, although Wisconsin had already been mauled by Penn State, which had just lost to Illinois, which lost to Iowa.
ku lost to Mizzou, who lost to OU, who lost to Colorado, who lost to Iowa State, who lost to kent state, who lost to, Akron, miami (oh), Bowling Green, Buffalo, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, and Temple.
If your logic stands then is ku worse than all these teams?
