If OSU didn't lose a game this season they still wouldn't make it to the final four teams in the playoff imo. They wouldn't have last year either even if they would have beaten Baylor in the Big 12 Championship game. We have to quit scheduling teams like Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Central Michigan, etcYes. OSU loses to teams they should beat or don't play a full 60 minutes and it always phucks up their season. 2021 lost to Iowa State. They should have won. 2020 lost to unranked Texas and TCU. 2017 #6 ranked OSU lost to 16th Ranked TCU and #10 Ranked OSU lost to unranked KSU.
Not to mention there are far too many games OSU won where they were handling their opponent but didn't show up in the 2nd half and almost lost the game.
