re: Serious Poll Among SEC Fans: Are only LSU fans happy that Bama lost?

Programs like Ohio State and Alabama do, and should get the benefit of the doubt, but Ohio State didn't sneak into the playoff. They earned their way in over TCU and Baylor. TCU had no business being in the discussion. They beat no one. Sure they had the better loss, but that loss was to Baylor. Beating Ole Miss was not impressive, and Ohio State's win over Bama destroys that argument anyways.

Baylor had more of a claim to the playoff than TCU did, which wasn't much. Their only win worth mentioning was TCU, and their loss was worse than Ohio State's. Michigan State also put that argument to rest. Both teams were also riding the high of beating a criminally overrated Oklahoma team.

The Big 12 needs to get a title game, or they're going to see more of this in the future, and deservedly so.
