The College Football Playoff field is set, and the committee got it right

No more games. No more discussions. The 2022 College Football Playoff field has been selected with No. 1 Georgia squaring off against No. 4 Ohio State and No. 2 Michigan facing No. 3 TCU. There was more drama than honestly there should have been — thanks to USC and TCU losing their respective conference championship games — but the committee ultimately got it right.

While the inclusion of Ohio State, a team that didn’t play this week because it lost in a blowout to Michigan to end the regular season, is kind of boring, you can understand it. The Buckeyes have just the one loss, along with wins over then-No. 5 Notre Dame and then -No. 13 Penn State. It’s resume is not particularly overwhelming, but only one loss will get you in.
