Most Ohio State fans have probably had an issue with how the College Football Playoff Committee has done its job at least once or twice during its six-year run.

The committee has a stated list of criteria for teams to meet, but which of those really matters, and which have proven to be less important since 2014?

James Meyerhoffer-Kubalik is a contributor for Buckeye Scoop who did a deep dive on the data to find out what really helps - or hurts - a team's chances of earning a spot in the sport's final four.

Today, he joins host Tom Orr to share what he learned, including the one factor that is by far the biggest part of a team's resume, as well as what hurts teams the most.

He also reveals which season's field included the team that met the least of the normal criteria - and probably should have been left out entirely.
