Who cares? Other than the "Final Four" all of the other bowl games were a sham, with the best players opting out either for the NFL or declaring for the portal.
A more accurate, although not perfect, reflection of relative strength was the final poll after the conference championships and before the start of the bowls.

Ohio State lost one game all year, on the road, to the eventual National Champion, and by less than a touchdown, and they are #10?
Really?
