December 3, 201411 yr Bama and FSU should be 1-2 just like the BCS format would have had it. I hated this whole committee thing from the beginning for the reason of not have a small group of people choosing who gets in. I still say the BCS format put the two most deserving teams in it each year, and it would have put the 4 most deserving in this year. And, in the proper order. I would agree with putting them 1 and 2 with Oregon 3rd.
December 3, 201411 yr How FSU is 4 is another joke...and I don't even like FSU!! They are undefeated and have played numerous teams that are normally good (Clemson, Florida, Miami, ND). It is not their fault that some have had bad years. Also, winning EVERY game has to mean A LOT. And to think that if Miss St had beaten Ole Miss, FSU may very well be out of the top 4 right now. What a joke. A defending national champion that is undefeated this year and last year that cannot defend its championship?? Insanity...
December 3, 201411 yr Trap game? Playoff teams are better than trap games. TCU lost by three on the road to Baylor. TCU beat West Virginia on the road by one. Baylor lost to West Virginia on the road by 14. Don't understand why this is supposed to be impossible to figure out. TCU > Baylor on a neutral field. I don't care about the trap game stuff. However, comparing what each team did against WV only makes sense if they did not PLAY EACH OTHER. Why not compare what they each did against Kansas then?? Who cares. They played each other and Baylor won. It is in Baylor's favor that the game was at Baylor this year. Last year it was at TCU and next year it will be at TCU. That is just how it works. Also, if they played again, I would not be surprised at all if TCU won. We will never know however. What we do know is that when they did play, Baylor won.

It's impossible to figure out because I don't live in speculation. Baylor defeated TCU. They both have one loss. End of story.
December 3, 201411 yr I keep hearing the argument that TCU and Baylor have played the same schedule. No, they haven't. TCU and Baylor have played 9 similar opponents, but where those games are played factors in. So does the non-conference. TCU beat a good, not great Minnesota team OOC. Baylor has nothing OOC of note. In addition, just watching the two teams play TCU looks like the clearly better team. As far as the rankings go, I think this weekend is going to send the college football world spinning. I see Georgia Tech winning and Wisconsin both winning.

They have played the same "conference" schedule and they have no "conference" championship unlike the other power conferences who have a conference championship and not everyone plays every team in their "conference".
December 3, 201411 yr Article on Yahoo claims there are three former coaches on the committee who are driving the conversation.

December 3, 201411 yr Politics as usual. True and we're seeing it everywhere. Baylor hires a PR firm, the Big 12 declares TCU a co conference champion against past practices and the committee members are pursuing whatever agendas they might have. Not unexpected.
December 3, 201411 yr It's impossible to figure out because I don't live in speculation. Baylor defeated TCU. They both have one loss. End of story. It's not. You live in weird football world where somehow one game apparently matters more than the rest of them. Season as a whole, TCU is clearly better. Baylor beats K-State, maybe we're looking at something, but to this point, TCU has done better against a better schedule. I'm taking the Horned Frogs and Baylor can go back to Waco and try to figure out how the devil they let Dana Holgorsen ruin their season.
December 3, 201411 yr Looking at the common opponents it looks like TCU and Baylor are all over the place. On some opponents Baylor had bigger margins of victory, on others TCU did. Confusing.

Baylor beat Oklahoma 48-14. TCU beat Oklahoma 37-33. Baylor beat Texas Tech 48-46. It was 35-17 when their starting QB was knocked out of the game. TCU beat Texas Tech 80-14. Baylor beat Texas 28-7. TCU beat Texas 48-10. We know how the WVU games turned out. Those are some sample games. Now what you're telling me is that because Minnesota is better than Buffalo that I should say TCU is better? Nah, not gonna happen.
