Let's see how accurate that statement is tomorrow. You can be sure someone will bring it up again if Ohio State loses.

What will the narrative be if OSU wins big?

Hell I would have been fine with TCU, Oregon, Baylor, and Alabama/Ohio State in the top 4. FSU has had so many close calls against inferior teams and tOSU picked it up after the OT win against PSU.

If Baylor beats Michigan State then you will hear the Big 12 beeyotch to no end about how the committee gave too much credit to the SEC or Big 10 and not enough to the Big 12 depending on who wins the Alabama-Ohio St game.

I would've been fine with FSU, Clemson, Ga Tech and Louisville in the playoffs, but then, I could be biased...


(Nah, on 2nd thought, make that FSU, Clemson, Ga Tech and Va Tech)

My money would be on an ACC team to win the NC...in either scenario.

They should have left out Illinois for Texas State for the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

TCU beat Ole Miss by 9 more points then Arkansas did. Heck they even allowed them to score 3 points.

Texas State was a reference to the regional location.

After watching TCU's last 2 games, I'm not so sure they aren't the best team in country.

TCU has made a solid case for being in the playoff. The problem is the playoff itself.

Don't you know Alabama breathed a huge sigh of relief to draw Ohio St and their 3rd string QB instead of TCU or Baylor. What's Bama favored by? 9?

They would have been favored by 3-ish over TCU or Baylor.

RE: Looks like Alabama is the one that should have been left out for TCU
I still agree with the playoff committee's selections. Everyone else put themselves at risk by playing that extra championship game. Tell your commissioner/Texas to quit being a puss, and then you'll actually have the opportunity to earn a playoff birth. 07-coffee3

AGREED.

Prior to the bowls, TCU's best OOC win was over Minnesota (8-4), but they also had conference wins over then #4 Oklahoma, #15 Oklahoma State, #20 West Virginia, and #7 Kansas State. That's 4 wins over Top 20 teams, 2 of which were top 10. The only one still ranked is Kansas State (Baylor is ranked, but TCU lost to them).

How does that compare to Alabama? The Tide's best OOC win was over West Virginia (7-5 regular season), and their conference wins were over #21 Texas A&M, #16 LSU, #1 Mississippi St, #15 Auburn and #16 Missouri. That's 5 wins over top 20 teams, but only 1 in the top 10. The difference, I think, is that 4 of the teams Bama defeated were still ranked DESPITE MULTIPLE LOSSES.

Both TCU and Alabama had one loss, both on the road against ranked opponents (TCU lost at #5 Baylor, while Alabama lost at #11 Ole Miss).

So really, the only argument for ranking Alabama #1 and TCU #6 is if we assume that 8-4 LSU, 8-4 Auburn, 10-3 Missouri and 9-3 Ole Miss teams all deserved to be ranked in the Top 25 by the CFP committee. Based on bowl results for LSU, Ole Miss and Miss. State so far, I question whether those teams really deserve the tremendous "benefit of the doubt" which they were obviously given...

Not saying Alabama shouldn't be highly-ranked (they should), but putting them ahead of FSU and Oregon while demoting TCU to #6 just doesn't smell right.
