TCU beat Michigan, the same Michigan team that throttled OSU.
Well, by that logic, Michigan was better than Georgia, who needed to come from behind to beat Ohio State by 1.
Unless we admit that the Ohio State and Michigan teams that faced earlier weren't quite the same; not to mention that Michigan had a chance to score 21 points and came away with 3 on three trips inside the 10 yard line. Kick 2 FGs on those other two trips and UGA would have faced Michigan (not to mention two pick-6's).
Look, I'm not saying TCU cheated or didn't "deserve" to beat Michigan - they did, and they got in.
But transitive property isn't the best indicator, considering that Michigan beat OSU handily, UGA beat OSU by 1, and TCU beat Michigan by 6.
Transitive logic would have UGA losing against TCU, not obliterating them by 50+.

No one is arguing a transitive property other than "that is how a playoff works".
We are 10 years in.
If you are still uncomfortable with the transitive property of a playoff, then you are going to be miserable next season.
Do you watch any other sports? They all have playoffs.
This "transitive property" aspect of a playoff shouldn't be so shocking to your core.
