If you think about if from the perspective of how to stack rank the B12 in the poll, then TCU has to be the high-water mark. Every other B12 team has to be lower than TCU.

Giving TCU #2 instead of #10 allows more B12 teams to be in the top 25 conversation.

But what do I know, I support a 5-7 Ag team.

Their conference schedule is a joke.


Yet, the B1G East finished with 3 of the top 7 teams in the country and the semifinal game between Georgia and Ohio State ended up being the de facto national championship game. But you continue to be you with your Big 12 blinders on.

OP is just looking at some scenerio where Alabama can claim another title. Just some way they can convince anyone to say they were the best team this year.

Never said anything about that.

But how can you rank a team number Two that lost two of its' last three games and got beaten in both championship appearances?

It honestly doesn't matter man.

Let TCU have it; they managed an impressive run with a bunch of 3* kids.

Did they beat the #2 team in a playoff?

If yes...
Did they lose to the #1 team in a playoff?

There is the answer that you seek.

Edit to add: if that gets in your craw, don't have a playoff. Eliminate the 12 team. Eliminate the 4 team.
Let's go back to the BCS to make you happy.

TCU lost to an average KSU team in the Big 12 championship game and got blown out by Georgia.

Had TCU won the Big 12 and gave Georgia a respectable game then yes they would deserve being ranked second.

I mean that's pretty much what always happens. We still finished #2 after 62-24 against the GOAT CFB team.

TCU beats Meat Chicken and then Rece Davis has Meat Chicken ranked 4 spots ahead of TCU. That is where the outrage should be.

Look, TCU was an anomaly. They loaded up on 5, 6 & 7 year guys. We won't see that again. Everyone can calm down.

Nope. That's why they vote. You think that team is number two? They played like it last night and gagged in their conference title game. Indeed they likely had no business in the playoffs.


How wrong can you be in one paragraph ? Ap vote doesn’t matter at all… it hasn’t for like 10 years … it has no bearing, the only vote that matters is the last vote from committee…. They don’t even have an end of season vote for final rankings….. why because it does not matter TCU finished ahead of Bama end of story .

TCU qb was also hurt in the title game as well and their starting running back…. KSU has beaten every sec team they have played in last 7 years minus Bama… Bama has a similiar style to KSU which is why it was a bad match up. KSU a was legit last year .
