You can say each week stands on its own, but each week also is a ranking of a team's entire body of work. It's not like it's a new committee every week, so obviously previous rankings DO have a bearing on this week's.
The committee put itself in a bind when it started dropping FSU despite them staying unbeaten and by ignoring the head-to-head between Baylor and TCU. Does anybody really believe that FSU isn't going to be in this? No way. That means if you put Ohio State in, you're going to end up dropping TCU at least two spots after they just beat somebody by 50 points.
By the way, I think Ohio State should be in over either TCU or Baylor. I just think the committee has put themselves in a little bit of a bind. They've created a situation that will result in a lot more backlash than there needed to be.

This^^^^^
When they felt the need to justify themselves and buck a poll system that for the most part has got it right for the last 50 years, they have created a giant shite sandwich.
Keeping the status quo and leaving it FSU, Bama, Oregon, then TCU would leave them wiggle room to do whatever they want.

You are right regarding the TCU thing, as far as a perceived spot. But hats only because everyone thinks this works like a poll. It doesn't. They are going to say that this is the 4 after this week.
TCU beat Iowa state at home by 50+
Ohio Staye was a 3.5 underdog on a neutral site , playing a 3rd string QB, playing the #2 def , against one of the hottest backs in the country .., they won by 50+. Tell me which looks more dominant. This week. When it's all said in done, who looks the best. I think Fsu would get blasted by all the other 5. However they are unbeaten. That's the problem , FSU has not really played anyone.
