re: Does the TCU-Ole Miss game tarnish the playoff outcome?

TCU is about on par with Arkansas, just their defense isn't quite as good.

TCU's loss to Baylor is a better loss than tOSU's loss. That's the difference. Arky may be on par with them but with the committee prefering to ignore SoS (except when they don't) and elevate the importance of conference diversity in the playoffs, TCU has just as strong a case as tOSU and a 'better' loss. **The whole conference champion thing is weird with the playoff rules - they do have provisions to take non-conference champs.
