I'm saying that if we get to place where OSU is one of the 6 teams who could reasonably be selected for the CFP, then I think they will be selected. To do that they would have to beat Wisconsin. It could be my inaccurate eye test, but it seems like for years bowl matchups have been more about generating the most revenue then what a team earned.

I understand.

But do they really travel better than Bama and Georgia? Is a game between OSU and Clemson likely to draw higher TV ratings than a game between Bama and Clemson?

Maybe the answers to those questions are yes. I honestly don't know.

FWIW ....
Alabama-Auburn television rating = 7.8
Ohio State-Michigan rating = 6.7

Interesting, but 'Bama-Auburn was a bigger game this year given the quality of the teams.

Not sure there's really a way to find out if big Bama games historically get better ratings than big Buckeye games do.
