The Buckeyes won't get a shot at defending their title, and they got passed up for the Rose Bowl, but that doesn't mean they were robbed.
The dust has settled, and the bowls have been announced, as as expected, Ohio State won't be getting a chance to defend their title in this year's college football playoff. They also won't get a chance to go to the Rose Bowl for the first since since their 2010 victory over Oregon, since the Rose decided to take the Big Ten team ranked higher in the final playoff rankings, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
