The only question is Baylor or OSU and seeding.
Yep, and since OSU has played 13 games compared to the 12 that Baylor played plus a better OOC schedule, they'll get the nod.

Ohio State shouldn't get in because their schedule sucked.

If TCU is out of the debate, why were they even I'm the debate to begin with? They didn't nothing Saturday to drop out IMO.
Exactly....Committee put them there, folks said they needed to win with style, which they did.
But I guess we find out tomorrow

It's hard not to get caught up in that number they put up tonight but taking a step back and looking at the entire season Baylor really deserves the 4 seed.

Was the committee not looking at the entire season up to this week?

Committee shot themselves in the foot by putting them at 3 in the first place. Hopefully this will lead to an 8 team playoff

Of course but now resumes have changed.

That makes total sense.
It does if you've followed what the committee has said would be important. Conference championships were up there, and there haven't been any conference champions before today. Their rankings have been "how we view these teams today", not "how we expect these teams to turn out."
Big12 has co-champions or Baylor in a tiebreaker. There's just no way TCU benefits here.
If they drop below Baylor it will be because of both head-to-head and strength of schedule. Baylor's SOS obviously improved today, TCU's did not.
I think you're still locked into the BCS rankings mindset, which doesn't really apply.

Why are people using "poll" logic?
The committee is clearly not using the old poll style logic. They have said their rankings will be a totally different animal.
Case in point, FSU being at #4 when they are pretty much tied for #1 in the polls.
TCU isn't getting "leap frogged", the rankings each week are independent.
Conference championship are one of the stated criteria, Ohio State is a sole conference champion and won an extra game against a good opponent to do it. TCU is a co-conference champion and technically should lose the tiebreaker to Baylor.

Better conference schedule
Better nonconference schedule
No FCS teams

I have said from the get go that this will play a bigger role than most would like to think. OSU will be a perfect example in the inaugural playoff. Big 12 is about to learn a big lesson.

The committee fricked up putting TCU at #3.

As close as they are grouped together when you're playing a 2 win team while they're playing top 15 teams, it happens. Not a shocker.
