cabiness42 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If they had played this pissed off when they had a 21-point 4th quarter lead in Waco, they wouldn't be playing today. If they had played a team better than Minnesota in their non-conf, they wouldn't be playing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 TCU showing people why they should of been #4. Spanking Ole Miss 42-0 early in the 3rd. I'm one that thought they definitely did not deserve to lose their 4th spot before that last week. TCU would definitely put up a better fight than a 3rd string QB Ohio State team.

If Bo Wallace and an uninterested ole miss team was across the field that day they would be in. But they aren't. Bowl games after the fact a month later doesn't change the decision that was made based on the factors they published all along no matter how much the broadcasting team wants to keep repeating it.

Congrats to TCU for a huge statement win. But yeah, I really wanted to see Bo go out on top. I was a big fan, his great games were so great. He was a likeable player. But he was definitely prone to this stuff and it can blow up in spectacular fashion against a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Baylor to hurt that cause tomorrow (if MSU shows up to play D- no Narduzzi might hurt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah, only having four teams in still makes the entire process a complete farce. It needs a huge expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If the championship game was #1 v #2 and FSU would play whoever wins the championship with the #3 team looking on this year. Four teams is unequivocally better than two 8 may or may not be better. I like the ND/LSU, Ole Miss/TCU type of match ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Too bad TCU's school name isn't just Texas. Still can't convince me that isn't one of the best four teams in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I don't like being the way people who are fans of SEC teams are, where they cheerlead their whole conference, but the B1G could really use a win by OSU to maintain some relevance. It doesn't hurt that Alabama/Saban are supremely unlikable. Edited December 31, 2014 by Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TCU would have had Ohio State's non conference schedule, they'd have still been left out. I also believe they wouldn't have been in with a 13th game, as I don't believe the committee values the Big 12 that highly, nor does TCU move ratings as much as Ohio State.
