Media effect on College Football Playoff

Well the 2016 College Football Playoff is finalized.  Alabama earned the #1 seed, Clemson #2, Ohio State #3, and Washington #4 seed.  As the selections just took place this morning there is already a lot of controversy over Ohio State and Washington being selected.  Ohio State went 11-1 on the year, with there only loss coming to Penn State.  Penn State won the Eastern division of the Big Ten Conference this year then this past Saturday defeated Wisconsin in the Big Ten Conference Championship so many people feel that Penn State deserved to earn either the #3 or #4 seed in the college football playoff.   Many have already began to argue that the reason Penn State wasn't selected was because the media feels like they will make more money with Ohio State in the college football playoff.  I think this is true, there are many more Ohio State fans across the country that will view the game so I feel Ohio State will bring in a larger revenue for the media.  It is interesting how media can play a role in athletics!!
