The College Football Playoff selection committee has been steadfast in its evaluation of injuries to key players since the system began in 2014, when Ohio State won the national title with its third-string quarterback, Cardale Jones.
The group refused to project what Ohio State might look like without starter J.T. Barrett, and judged the Buckeyes that season based on how they performed to that point with whomever was in the starting lineup. It wasn't until Selection Day that Ohio State cracked the top four for the first time.
