Ohio State is now tied for fourth with five AP national championships:

1. Alabama 9 (1961, 1964, 1965, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012)
2. Notre Dame 8 (1943, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1966, 1977, 1988)
3. Oklahoma 7 (1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, 2000)
4. Ohio State 5 (1942, 1954, 1968, 2002, 2014)
4. Southern Cal 5 (1962, 1967, 1972, 2003, 2004)
4. Miami 5 (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, 2001)

Ohio State becomes only the second school to win an AP national championship in five different decades (1942, 1954, 1968, 2002, 2014). The other is Alabama (see above).

None of this [Mark May] really matters. Ohio State could win by 50 and they won't get into the playoffs.

I hope they win by 50 and get excluded. I have no real desire to waste time watching meaningless football games this winter anyway.

I heard a few people who said they would have rather gone to the citrus bowl, beat an SEC team and go into 2015 with momentum. Others couldn't blame them because it seemed logical. Hope the lesson is learned for future seasons. Never give up. Anything can happen. And any chance to make the playoffs, you take it, even if you would be a huge underdog.

As far as the final polls, I really think Alabama should be ranked ahead of TCU. They lost, only by 7, to the best team in the country. To me, not a reason to get jumped by a team that beat up on an uninspired, injured, Ole Miss team.

Alabama would beat TCU. I don't think it would be a close game either.

Not sure I can get on board with that. Alabama's back seven was not very impressive; I think Boykin would pick them apart. TCU has the talent to do to Bama what Ohio St & Auburn did. I think it'd be a close game with both teams in the 30s, at least, and I like the chances of TCU stopping Bama's offense vs the other way around.

No, all I am saying is that i think MSU was better than FSU and that FSU was better than TCU. The only criterion I am using is my subjective opinion.

Then post #1390 makes no sense since you are stating that my subjective opinion is incorrect since "FSU was a playoff team, undefeated conference champion, and defending NC" and that "TCU was the Big XII runner up." In fact, you also said that "maybe Baylor should be #6 and TCU #7" which would lead one to believe that it was going off of objective placements in conference races, not subjective eye tests.

Sorry, I have a really bad habit of having to be right, and when I am I can't let it go. Unless you were saying TCU should be ahead of Baylor based on the eye test, which just doesn't make much sense as well.
