Ohio State · USCEven as the debate raged about the selection committee's puzzling rankings, Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt slammed chairman Hunter Yurachek for his explanation about the Buckeyes' placement.

"In fact, if you have watched Ohio State, you would know that their defense largely has been playing better because of their defensive line. I hope that [Yurachek] just misspoke in that moment.
Because that was like red flags going all over there. This is very apparent that this is about Luke Fahey and Julian Sayin's injury and nothing else."
