I found this quote while doing a bit of morning reading from SBNation (I know, I know...) -- it doesn't directly relate to OSU, but I find the committee's quote absurd:

2. Head-to-head matters, but only when "all other things are equal" ...

...

Long says the rest of their respective resumes are too different:

It's largely due to the two top-25 wins that TCU has and their overall schedule. Baylor, obviously, has only one top-25 win. Head-to-head comes into play when all other things are equal. So if they are equal in the eyes of the committee, then we will use that head-to-head to make that determination. But at this point, I think three consecutive weeks, we've said that [Baylor's] body of work, their strength of schedule is not the same. They've gotten closer together. Thus far, head-to-head has not been a determining factor. (emphasis added)

When did a resume become more important than a 'W'?
