Am I the only one who thinks TCU got screwed?

I hope Ohio State gets their doors blown off so the committee will see how stupid it is that they were moved up to #4. They lost to VT for Pete's sake. TCU should be there. I have no dog in the fight, but I just think it's so obvious that they missed here if you just compare the schedules.

Committee made the easy decision for them

OH ST was the easy choice because it allowed them not to have to choose between TCU and Baylor and explain their choice

It is all about ticket sales and Television Revenue. Ohio State VS. Bama will be huge. Sorry to see that money makes the decisions with the committee.

But I agree OH ST selection is a purely ratings driven cop-out by selection committee.

lost to a team that ended a game this year with ZERO points in 4 qtrs.... I don't care who your QB is and if he got better..you got beat (as a team) by VTech who is not on any radar...yet you still get in to teh playoff?? Just tells me that we could have gotten beat by UGA and still made the playoff

They did not get screwed. They didn't play a championship game and played one less than the playoff teams , so they got penalized . Also had a poor non conference schedule. Seems right to me. If TCU and Baylor had played a championship game they woulda gotten in if they won. Guess their conference better start recruiting. The committee got it right.

also, there conference non-conference schedule includes Big 10 teams. You going to tell me the conference schedule of the Big 12 is weaker than the Big 10? Who cares about out of conference. I agree that the lack of a championship in the Big 12 hurts them, but I don't think Ohio State is the 4th best team in the nation.

I really think Baylor got screwed worse. Ohio State did not belong in the top 4.

Yes - Baylor has been getting screwed by the committee since TCU got ranked ahead of them. The only way for them to right that wrong was to move TCU out of the top 4 and behind Baylor. It's comical that Oh St jumped TCU though.

everyone is predicting. They have no fame film on tOSU's qb and they can't stop the pass. It may end up a shoot out in tOSU's favor. After all, they aren't great at pass protection, but they can do well stopping the run, which plays in their favor in this game.

Big 12 screwed by their own commissioned when....
Dec 7, 2014, 10:28 PM
|

he said a couple weeks ago that Baylor and TCU would be co-champions is they won out. That made it easy for the committee to say the Big 12 didn't have a clear cut champion. Admittedly, they were drinking the pro OhSt koolaid, but the commissioner didn't help. He got greedy and thought they could get both in.

OOC schedule and Baylor played the 128th ranked one sometimes that happens. You want play with the big boys then schedule the games you can control and include something more than the Sally Mae school for the blind when you do.
Yes I know Bama's OOC schedule suck but we all know there is a double standard.

Corner. They wanted no part in the TCU/Baylor debate. It would have been a lose/lose situation if either of those two got in. Keeping them both out was the only way to settle that.

They made the "easy" choice for them.
And the Big12 didn't help their case by not proclaiming one team champion (even though by every typical standard Baylor would be champion).

TCU got screwed badly. They were #3, blow the doors off a conference opponent, and drop out? Makes no sense. Ohio State lost to Virginia Tech. At home. That is unforgivable.

Had Them #3. This Whole Committee Has Been a Joke in How They Have Conducted Themselves. I Think Ultimately They Got The Top 4 Somewhat Correct.
