We can't be far off from microchips in footballs, can we? We can tell where a tennis ball lands down to the millimeter.
Also as others have noted OSU is now in the position to root for PSU to win and make sure they don't play for a conference title. It's backwards.

Yeah, there's not a great view that I know of. Have you seen one that's right on the first down line? Based on what I've seen, I'm not sure how it can be conclusive that the ball didn't get there.
Either way, Michigan turned the ball over 3 times. I'm not going to conclude that they lost because of a questionable mark that none of us can be sure of, even after replay.

That was only part of it though. OSU got just two penalties for 6 yards the whole game. They also got away with PI in overtime.
On an unrelated note, this is the first time the committee will have a tough decision to make.

Sure. I'm not convinced that they got it wrong, and I haven't seen anything to show otherwise. Is it questionable? Sure. I think a case could be made either way. If they hadn't given it to him, then Ohio State fans would be saying the same thing that you're saying ("replay sucks"). I don't think this is an example of replay failing. I think this is a case of replay being inconclusive.
Tosu has a good resume, no doubt. But to put them in over the b1g champ is absurd. Especially when they just squeaked by michigan in columbus. Can we not make the argument that michigan is the better team and wins that game 7 times out of 10? Sure you could just make the argument osu won and that's all that matters, but they did not win the b1g yet will go into the playoffs ahead of thr b1g champ.....

Eh. I'm sure Michigan got away with some stuff, too.
I actually think this is an easy decision for the committee. As far as I can tell, there will only be 4 teams with zero or one loss. All 4 of those teams should get in (Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, Washington).
