What is sad is I think that is actually better than the Big 10's OOC wins. I am too lazy to look it up but I can't remember a signature win for the league. And keep in mind Minn & Maryland finished 2nd & 3rd in their respective Big 10 dreckfest divisions.AZDuck said:Here's the main problem with the Big XII: what is the best OOC win in the conference this season? Here are your choices:
TCU vs Minnesota
WVU @ Maryland
Oklahoma vs Tennessee
Iowa St @ Iowa
Simple fact is you can't have TCU at #3 based on their resume, then they blow out a team, and you drop them 3 spots.

TCU is going to plunger Ole Miss. They may not have deserved to be in the playoff, but they're a strong 5.

Rutgers beat the Cuogs
The committee has said all year that they start over every week. Try to keep up. Commentators saying TCU shouldn't have dropped are just revealing that they don't know what they are talking about -
I think that was their only decent OOC win. I think the committee put way to much weight into beating Wisconsin, whose best wins on their resume were Nebraska and Minnesota, a team TCU plungered.AZDuck said:

Refer you back to this map which I think guided the committee's decision to jump Ohio State into the playoff:
Also, I think the 50+ point plungering of a good (if not great) Wisconsin team lubricated the Texas plunger just a bit, and follow that up with the stupidity of the Big XII commish hedging his bets in an attempt to shoehorn two teams from a good-but-not-great XII into the playoff and you get ESPN's chosen one in the playoff against Bammer -
I think it was the Big 12 commish being FS more than Ohio St being a better football team than TCU.AZDuck said:

You don't think other schools before haven't come calling for Patterson?salemcoog said:
Unless a school like Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, USC, Michigan, tOSU or Florida came calling.Tequilla said:
He's also fucking right ...AZDuck said:Patterson is classy. Sez TCU "should have gone undefeated to control our destiny."
No politicking, no bullshit
Wonder if a major program will ever pick him up or if he stays at TCU
Odds that Patterson ever leaves TCU <<< 1%</p>
Butt other than that, you're spot on.
It's really simple. Patterson's wife is from Ft. Worth. They are very happy in Ft. Worth and at TCU. Patterson's always got whatever he has wanted at TCU.
It's a similar situation as Few at Gonzaga ... except that Patterson is 100x the coach that Few is. -
So your saying that Texas came after Patterson and He said thanks but no thanks?
I get that Austin is like thousands of miles away from Ft Worth, but I'm gonna need a screenshot or something. -
One thing that people also have to put into their consideration as well is that how a team is playing at the beginning of the season is not necessarily how they are playing at the end.
The argument used for Ohio is that they were young early in the year and are a far superior team compared to the team that lost to Virginia Tech. That's a fair statement.
But you have to be consistent with your commentary if you're going to cherry pick.
Oklahoma was a Top 5 program in the nation when TCU beat them. TCU's QB basically got killed against Baylor and their season gradually went downwards quickly.
Texas started the season very slow with a changing in coaching/culture as well as trying to find a QB. By the 2nd half of the season they were playing very good football before TCU plungered them.
It's way too simple to just look at the resume and assume that a 7-5 team was always a 7-5 team throughout the year. That's just simply not the case.
