I put in TCU just based off each of those three teams losses.. TCU lost to a 11-1 Baylor.. OSU lost to a 6-6 VT.. And Baylor lost to a 7-5 WVU.. I just don't see how you can drop TCU 2 spots after their big win today..
No matter what this year just proves that this needs to be an 8 team playoff..

I just dont understand that argument when Baylor is the team that beat TCU. They should be out of contention based off that. Baylor is the Big12 champ it should be Baylor or OSU.

TCU vs. Baylor

In 2012 we lost at FSU, but we beat NC State and they didn't. Who should have played in the ACCCG? Technically we were both co-champs at 7-1. This is essentially TCU and Baylor

I believe that the Big 12 shoud be left out until they have a championship game.

Baylor and OSU have both played 9 conference games now. All that is missed out on is a chance to schedule one cupcake OOC game.

But according to Big 12 rules if the season is tied, the head to head match up determines the conference champion. Baylor

Interesting that more people have TCU than Baylor

I voted for TCU myself, but i thought i was one of the few people that feel that a 3pt road loss shouldn't be the ultimate and definitive proof that Baylor is the better team. The WVU loss DID happen.

Ohio State has the worst loss of everyone. They got beat, at home, by a BAD Va Tech team. They don't deserve to be in over the other two teams.

I mostly agree, but i think if those teams played again

right now Ohio State would win by 30+. Granted you can't just ignore something that really did happen, but that was maybe the biggest outlier of the entire season.

Most agree that home-field advantage is worth about 3 points

and there were very questionable calls at the end of that TCU vs Baylor game. I think they're basically even based on that game, with Baylor slightly ahead, but then I'd give TCU the edge because the two teams had 9 common opponents, and TCU had the wider margin of victory in 7 of those 9 games. They also played the tougher non-conference slate, with a win against 8-4 Minnesota. Baylor's best non-conference win was against 5-6 Buffalo. I don't see how Baylor should move ahead of TCU for beating K State by 11, when TCU already beat K State by 21.
I think they're going to end up picking Ohio State for that last slot, but the Big 10 is so shallow this year. In Ohio State's division, the 3rd and 4th place teams were Maryland and Rutgers. The Big 12's worst team (0-9 Iowa State) beat a middle-of the pack Big 10 team on the road in Iowa (4-4 in Big 10). And I guess we're ignoring OSU's 35-21 home-loss against VT because _______________________.
If it were me, I'd have
4) TCU
5) Baylor
6) OSU
But I think it's going to be
4) OSU
5) TCU
6) Baylor
