TCU and the Big 12 is set up where the Oklahoma schools, Baylor, and TCU all play each other in November. None of those teams have really proven anything worth a damn this week other than the egg that Oklahoma laid against Texas.
It's always been win the games on the schedule and control your own destiny. With the way the Big 12 is set up they aren't getting into the playoff unless it's a blue blood (which it won't be with Oklahoma/Texas being down ... and yes, I know Oklahoma has only lost 1 game but they are either the 3rd or 4th best team in the Big 12 in my mind) or the non blue blood is clearly one of the top 4 teams. They didn't get in last year simply because there wasn't enough of a compelling argument to CLEARLY prove that they were better than Ohio State and Ohio State is a blue blood. The fact that Ohio State won the title will only make it easier for the committee to act in a similar manner this year.
The only thing I don't agree with at this point is that Alabama is in the Top 4 ... that's on name only. Not only are they not the best 1 loss team in the country (I think that's Notre Dame) but the game that they lost to Ole Miss was bad ... it wasn't as close as the score indicated.

Tcu or Baylor didn't get in because the Big12 commissionerFS played the wrong hand and wouldn't definitively name a conference champion. Thus giving Ohio State the #4 spot by default. In the end, the committee made the right call...obviously.

Also...actual lol at Clemson being #1.
Fairness is for faggots
Maybe they should go back to the WAC
