    Well, that’s not the AP poll, so …

  • For anyone like me who sat in Texas Stadium in early December 2001, Chris Simms would be the last person I'd want to speak on the difficulty level of winning the Big 12.

TCU will be a first round bye for whoever gets paired with them.  I’ll bet Michigan and Georgia will try their hardest to get TCU in round 1.

I have a feeling both schools dont really give a shit if they play no defense USC or TCU so Ill bet they both dont give a fuck and just want to win and get in.

if TCU and USC lose, Ohio State and Alabama are in.  Bama at #4 could beat Georgia, really the only team that can (aside from Texas) with the athletes. 

Utah beat USC 43-42 in a wild shootout. Cameron Rising (remember him?) outplayed Caleb Williams. USC had loads of penalties which hurt them badly. 

always comes down to CCG weekend.   When will the playoffs expand?  Badly need that immediately.

Lol, rankings are so arbitrary. If we hadn’t willingly scheduled Bama, we’d be sitting just outside the top 10.

2nd best 4 loss team in the country

We played Bama. We got one of those SECSECSEC quality losses.

who has the athletes to beat Georgia on a neutral field? Alabama and Texas only.  

Ohio State says hi

It's crazy to me that teams like TCU and USC get no benefit at all from playing in their conference championship game. They risk losing/injury and getting kicked out of the convo while teams like Ohio St and Alabama get to sit at home and do nothing and benefit. A real playoff system cant get here soon enough.

It’s ridiculous. Conference championship games should be worked into the playoff structure, after playoff is expanded. And yes, fuck ND.

I haven't been paying attention to Sagarin this year, but his P5 (+ AAC) conference ratings are interesting:

      CONFERENCE          CENTRAL MEAN    SIMPLE AVERAGE  TEAMS      WIN50%

   1  BIG 12              (A) =  81.00      81.11  (  2)     10      81.08  (  2)
   2  SEC-WEST            (A) =  80.94      81.61  (  1)      7      81.37  (  1)
   3  SEC-EAST            (A) =  79.70      80.08  (  3)      7      79.82  (  3)
   4  PAC-12 NORTH        (A) =  79.31      78.49  (  5)      6      78.78  (  5)
   5  BIG TEN-E           (A) =  79.28      79.08  (  4)      7      79.13  (  4)
   6  BIG TEN-W           (A) =  76.60      75.58  (  7)      7      75.90  (  7)
   7  ACC-ATL             (A) =  76.43      75.89  (  6)      7      76.19  (  6)
   8  PAC-12 SOUTH        (A) =  75.67      75.00  (  8)      6      75.58  (  8)
   9  AAC                 (A) =  69.87      69.27  ( 10)     11      69.48  ( 10)

If TCU and USC lose, UGA drops to 2 and pairs up with TOSU at 3. No way Bama and UGA play each other in the first round. 

(Or Bama jumps TOSU to 3.)

Or TCU hangs on to #4.

I can’t see that. Given the choice between 12-1 TCU or 11-1 tOSU, tOSU gets the nod 10 times out of 10. They already did in 2014 and they will again this year. It’s not about logic or reasoning. It’s about the brand on the side of the helmet. 
 

If it were 12-1 UT or OUsux, those brands would pull them into the CFI. Maybe even OkSU. But not little ol’ TCU.

I don’t disagree, but getting worked by 3 TDs on your own field doesn’t hold up to splitting with a top 15 team, imo. Unless TCU gets their asses run off the field, I’d keep them in over a team that got to 11-0 against a sub-.500 schedule then folded.

I was responding to the scenario if TCU and USC both lose.  I think the scenario would be Mich, UGA, OSU, TCU over 2-loss Bama.

If TCU and USC both lose we get the same old Big 10 SEC bullshit we get every year less Clemson. Not sure why anyone would want that scenario. It's bad for the sport regardless of what the media would have us believe.

Lol. Great post bro. 

Fuxk TCU I hope they get blasted!!! 
 

Sark you freaking cock sucker!! Should’ve been us 

With what Georgia and Michigan did this year it makes 4 teams feel like to many. Other years 4 is not enough.

No Meatchicken vs Suckeyes semi-final match-up 😋

Frogs in as number 3. I think they have a shot vs Michigan.
Mich -14(did I do that right? )

All things considered that's a good loss for TCU.

Ah that's good.

TCU's defense always gives them a shot.

On the one hand, Sarkisian brought in a staff (the DC on which who was persona non grata for a year and a half) that generally develops players, instilled a better culture, recruited to fill gaps left by the previous guys, had a fairly good offense with two true freshman on the OL, has a defense that’s much improved and comes to hit, and competed to the point where some think Texas “should have” made the playoffs. 
 

On the other hand, “fuck that guy,” amirite?

Good times.

Fuck TCU. Anyone rooting for those cockroaches is a dumbass.

I’m convinced this new account is some sort of PR spin implemented by Sark’s agent.

Yeah. Problem is they keep cutting my pay when I mention the WTF second halves and the choice not to at least give Card a shot in a couple of games. 
 

But, sure, the sky isn’t just falling but has fallen. Have fun with that.

Talking committee head saying there was no discussion about putting suckeyes at #4 so no rematch with meatchicken in semi-finals...

Remember when SEC guys used to brag about how they play real football and the big 12 is all offense and no defense? And then they started using the coaching and offensive schemes that we were using? I remember. Alabama-Tenn was a complete shootout this year lmao. But SEC SEC defense really matters!!!!
