Ha, I'd hate to be the committee right now...

The only thing I'm confused about is why jump TCU to 3rd… That caused some controversy in itself and leaving them at 4 and dropping them after this week is easily defendable.

They will have to answer that if they do drop TCU.

Good. While they're answering, ask why we're behind mich state

TCU is currently #3 and just won 55-3. Their only loss is by 3 @#6 Baylor.

Ohio State is currently #5 and just won 59-0. HOWEVER they lost to unranked VTech at home by 2 touchdowns.

There's no 17ing way Ohio State jumps TCU.

I think there's a decent chance we're ahead of Michigan State tomorrow. If the playoff was 8 teams and it really mattered which MSU was ahead of the other, I think there's an almost 100% chance we'd be ahead of them. The Committee members just may not have given it that much thought right now.

You left out the 3rd team in this discussion -- Baylor. They beat tcu straight up

So you predicting orange bowl?

Kudos to Stricklin for not shying away from the truth. I see no evidence that this attitude affects the Committee too, but we'll find out tomorrow.

  Some commentators leaving Big 12 out of top four. Would they be doing same if it was Texas and OU instead of TCU and Baylor? #brandnamebias

By only 3 after trailing most the game and at home. They also lost by two scores to an unranked WVU. They suffer the same fate as OSU for that. Their head to head with TCU is looked at as a push.

I guess a win is a win, but tcu almost lost to Kansas. Kansas is vandy bad.

I don't care who gets in, but it's not just open and shut for any of these teams

[CadaverDawg]

Haha, look through this thread at all of the differing opinions on who should be the 4th team.....

This thread proves that it's going to be a brutal decision, and there will be a pissed off Gary Patterson, Art Briles, or Urban Meyer. Art Briles is letting it all hang out in his post game presser. He is PISSED at the Big12 commish for saying all year "One True Champion" and now being a coward and saying "Co-Champions" and ignoring Head to Head. Ha, that ole boy will be ready for an old fashioned Duel if Baylor gets left out.

My opinion can be debated as heavily as any, but this is how I think it SHOULD look...

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. Florida State

Because I think you have to look at wins AND losses. Ohio State and Baylor had the worst losses of any top 6 teams. And whether Briles wants to admit it or not....he barely beat TCU and it was AT HOME.

BUT, because we live in a politically correct world and everyone thinks Money and TV Markets, here is what I think we'll see from the committee....

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. Ohio State
4. Florida State

Would be interesting to see two play in games. TCU vs Baylor and OSU vs FSU. Winners get Bama and Oregon.

The team the committee wants to drop is Florida State. Their undefeated record is very empty. Will they do it? I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me to see them put Alabama, Oregon, TCU, and Ohio State in that final four.

No matter how impressive their win over Wisconsin is, I can't put Ohio State in the top four simply because they lost at home to a bad Virginia Tech team.
