That's why I could see TCU jumping up to #4 if they were to win at West Virginia this weekend.
That makes absolutely zero sense unless the teams above them lose. Why would they jump to 4? First of all, Alabama already beat West Virginia. Second, WVA is only #20. Beating #20 won't, for example, cause the committee to bump them ahead of Oregon, FSU, or the winner of the AU-OM game. Nor would beating a team that Alabama already beat cause the committee to bump them ahead of Alabama.
But the biggest reason why I am right is the fact that you are only looking at one game this weekend, and I said what would happen if teams would win out. You have TCU jumping to #4 for beating #20? Then if Bama beats #1 and #3, they'll just jump right past them. TCU does not have wins of the same caliber left on its schedule...fact.

You keep saying things are fact when no one knows what the committee will do. They may place more emphasis on being conference champion and if us and OM win out, OM would be ahead of us. What if Michigan State, FSU, TCU, and Oregon win out? Those are your conference champions. We won't know if that'll actually hold precedence over who they actually think is the best team until the final rankings. That's why guys like Cecil Hurt expect this whole process to be a sham. It's just moronic to say things are indisputable when no one knows what's going to happen.

Actually TCU would jump to #4 next week with a win.
This weekend we have:
#3 vs. #4. If AU wins on the road I could see them moving to #2 possibly but either way one should be sitting at #3 the other with 2 losses will probably drop 7 or 8 spots. Leaing a spot for someone to move up.
#5 Oregon plays home against unranked Stanford
#6 Alabama does not play
#7 TCU plays at #20 WVU
If TCU wins no way they do not jump both UA and Oregon. And yes we beat WVU but on a neutral field not on the road. And right now our only quality win is against that WVU team where TCU also beat OU who is currently ranked in the new poll. Their resume(body of work) will look better. Sitting home this week will not help us in regards to the CFB committee.
