    The big 10 is a joke. They didn't have a single win over a power 5 ooc opponent if I remember right. That's hard to do as a conference.

    You're half right.

    Rutgers beat WSU.

    SMU-TCU could end up being a great "derby" style game if both teams get good.

    Don't get me wrong, the game means a lot to both of the alumni bases and I would agree that it's worth continuing.

    To me, anybody that brings up TCU's decision to play SMU as a sign of them taking the easy way out isn't paying attention. TCU's played them annually for as long as you can go back and look (when SMU fielded a team that is).

    That being said, if TCU is going to get penalized for playing too easy of a schedule (they played 10 P5 teams), then the SMU game is one of the two games that they need to revisit.

    One thing I forgot to put in my original post, I wonder if Ohio will try to find a way to get out of their home/home series against TCU in the next 4-5 years.

    I don't get the FSU disrespect. They're undefeated and by today's low standards, played a good OOC schedule.

    TCU has a case but the whole debate is annoying and tedious. IDGAF. Also people need to stop asking the Big 12 to play a championship. They all play each other. There's no point. STFU Brian Greasehead.

    'Boobs told me it's nothing but blatant Redskin bias.

    If Ohio st was Iowa this never would have happened. But they're not and a good Ohio state team does not get left out. If tcu were Texas or Oklahoma there is not a chance in hell they would have been overpasses. Same for Baylor.



    All that being said you could make a case for each team and each team can blame themselves.

    Indiana is the SEC East champ over Mizzou

    TCU needs to revisit the Samford game

    Baylor's OOC schedule meant that there was no way they were getting in unless there were no other options. And due to the TCU H2H result, TCU was out as a result. Baylor needs to nut up and play someone. The only P5 opponent they have scheduled is Duke. Starting in 2017.

    Oklahoma losing helped, too. Both TCU and Baylor's overall resume was hurt with OU dropping out of the top 25.

    The Big 12 is also horrible. It's all splitting hairs. You can make a case for each team. IMO, the committee got it right.

    If your opinion coincides with Butler Cabin's opinion (allegedly), then at minimum 81% of the time you should reconsider your opinion.
