Not at all.


Y'all are confusing the use of a 13th data point in the comparison of all the data points with the 13th data point being more important than others. It's not. Yes Ohio State had a 13th data point and Alabama didn't. They also had two data points that were double digit losses, including the data point where they lose by 31 points to a middle of the road team. Because of the other two data points the 13th data point wasn't enough to push Ohio State past Alabama.

The 13th data point is important when at the end two or more teams are fairly equal. With the two blowout losses Ohio State wasn't close enough to equal to Alabama for the 13th data point to push them past the Tide.
