TCU has beaten Oklahoma, Kansas State and West Virginia, but also struggled to beat Kansas last week. Only loss to Baylor

Miss State has beaten Auburn, LSU and Texas A&M. Only loss to Alabama.

TCU has better wins. Miss St has better loss (but not by much). TCU struggling against Kansas may hurt them this week. But they get to play a resurgent Texas team in two weeks. That will be their only chance to get in top 4 if Baylor wins out, and it would be a long shot at that. I see they also play Iowa St on Dec 6...they will need to kick the crap out of Iowa State.

Agree.

That it did. But you can't forget that State also had to have a late interception to seal the deal against a 4 win Arkansas team at home to win 17-10. Then they returned a late onside kick attempt to beat a 5 win Kentucky team by 14. Not disagreeing with your point, just pointing out that State has been less than stellar against much weaker competition as well.

Well MSU still has Ole Miss on the schedule. All things considered and everyone wins out, then MSU will have the better wins, the better loss, and will have thumped the teams they were supposed to thump. MSU hasn't really squeaked by in their wins the way TCU has on two occasions.
