And Why is TCU ranked ahead of Vols in the CFP Poll?

[volfan102455]

Ucla has a better resume than USC. USC doesn’t have a ranked win.

They do, they have beaten both Utah and Washington.

 

[hUTch2002]

It’s looking more and more unless we have some big things go our way, we aren’t making it in.

No idea what you’re talking about. We win out and we will be in.

 

[loservol]

They haven't beaten a ranked team yet but they are #8 right now and their last three games will be against ranked teams.

I am not advocating for USC to be in the playoff, I am saying that I don't think they would be left out if they finish with one loss.

USC or Oregon will be playing in the Rose Bowl.

 

[hUTch2002]

Oregon and TCU both winning tonight put a hurt on our chances. I thought Baylor might have a chance against TCU next week should TCU win tonight but Baylor looks horrible tonight. TCU looks to go into the B12 championship undefeated.

Have faith. They will lose to someone.

If the committee would play it smart with their voting, they could have 4 big market teams in the playoffs.
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Michigan
4. TN

Time to tell TCU and their small market to go and hop off.

3. TN
4. MI

Yes maybe next week?

Yep. Big game. Winner of that has a chance to make a run up the rankings if they finish strong. Not enough to overtake us IMO but who knows

Isn’t the goal to find the best team? I know ratings play a role but they aren’t everything. Not even the main thing

 

[ftsandersvol]

If the committee is truthful TCU drops out of the top 4 on Tuesday.

I honestly feel like these are the 4 best teams this year in college football.

 

[hUTch2002]

A 12-1 USC is getting in the playoff. A 12-1 UCLA May as well. A 1-loss Michigan isn’t getting in, no matter how close the loss to OSU is. They don’t have the resume.

Only if we’re in the 3 spot. Neither of them would have the wins we do and both have a worse loss. But they could get the 4 spot if we’re the 3. It would be between them and Clemson most likely. I’m assuming a TCU loss.

It’s not happening. No chance. TCU is in if they win out, as they should be.

I do too. But until TCU loses a game you have to give them a shot

TCU is not a best 4 team.
TCU playing crappy teams and even with that, they're barely winning.

 

[loservol]

Not really. Just use their strength of schedule against them and merrily send them on their way to a New Years Day bowl matchup with Bama.

 

[bpalmer28]

I agree but you have to give them a shot if they keep winning

 

[Frosty]

They do, they have beaten both Utah and Washington.

They lost to Utah

Why?

Just like Cincy last year when Bama curb stomped them? I’m sick of the little engine that could crap.

 

[volfan102455]

Arizona is holding their own with UCLA right now.

 

[bpalmer28]

Just like Cincy last year when Bama curb stomped them? I’m sick of the little engine that could crap.

Yes. Just like Cincy.

I don’t like it either but it is what it is until they expand the playoff

 

[GhostVol]

Undefeated

So TCU beats the equivalent of "high school" teams 12 times and are undefeated... that's better than a team that played 12 D1 teams and lost a game?

Gimme a break.....

 

[Volfan8282]

Yes. Just like Cincy.

I don’t like it either but it is what it is until they expand the playoff

Or they could do their jobs and pick the best 4 teams…

 

[GhostVol]

Yes. Just like Cincy.

I don’t like it either but it is what it is until they expand the playoff

And what happened to Cincy?

 

[volfan102455]

They lost to Utah

UCLA beat Utah. Utah beat USC.

That's how I see it.
One team plays cupcake teams while the other has to run the gauntlet
