TCU overrated?

I wouldn’t count on that. Under this scenario, you’re assuming UM beats Ohio State. That means the last spot will come down to Ohio State and TN (maybe USC if they win out but doubt it). I wouldn’t trust the committee enough to put us over Ohio State. I will feel a lot better if they have to choose between us and Michigan than us hints Ohio State.

***Yes we should 100% be in over either of those Big10 teams with 1 loss but do we trust the committee to actually do that with their beloved Heisman hopeful?

. I didn’t think of that scenario.

TCU's season reminds me somewhat of the 98 vols. At lot of close games, they were outside the BCS looking in up until the very last week when a couple teams lost above them. Still they were the only unbeaten team and underdogs to FSU. Fulmer said you don't have to be the best team in the country, just the best on the field each week, or something like that. That being said, hopefully they will lose before the final selection.

My God, do you have dementia. My Mom's memory is better than that, and she is 77. You need to post facts; this is not FOX News.

I live in KC and work for a company that has A LOT of KSU fans...they want to see them again in the championship game...had them (TCU) down early. They just won't have Adrian Martinez this time around.

Kinda reminds me of that Ohio State team that beat Miami in the national championship... when was that, 2001? They just keep winning close games against teams they should beat comfortably so people keep expecting them to lose, and expecting them to lose... and they just keep winning.

No, it wasn't 01, because that's the year we should have played Miami, and they would have killed us.

😂 legit to what? Their potent offense got held down by Texas. Now imagine what Georgia does to that team. Tcu isn’t one of the four best teams in the nation; hell they’re likely not one of the eight best teams in the nation.

My only exposure to TCU was vs. Texas. That was a trash game for both teams. TCU QB seemed like he got sacked every other play. Texas QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and it was still close. Wasn't impressed with them (and yet they won). Maybe ya'll are just watching highlights. I understand the "haven't lost yet" concept, but dang, they looked like crap against Texas.

They are overrated. But the committee has to put them in the playoff if they go undefeated. Folks keep comparing them to Cincinnati and that's not really accurate. Cincy is group of 5, TCU is power 5. The committee has to put an undefeated power 5 teams in the playoff, unless there are more than 4. It's a perfect example of why the playoff needs to expand.

What we have to consider is the likelihood of TCU running the table. I would say it is 50/50 they do. If they lose, I think they are out. USC, UT, maybe Clemson and the osu/mich loser would be in the battle for the last 2 spots. If TCU wins out, those teams battle for the last spot. We need for the osu mich game to be a blowout win for either team. That would drop the loser to at least 5. If mich narrowly beats osu they may not drop to 5. A loss by mich drops them to at least 5 regardless of if it is 1 point or 30. I doubt Clemson wins out and if I am honest I doubt TCU does either. So then you have TCU, UT, maybe USC, and either osu or mich all with 1 loss.
Just win out and the rest will sort itself out.

I don't think OSU is overrated.......come on.

I’m not saying they’re not a good team, but let them play Florida, Bama, and GA every year and see if they’re in the top 5 every year. Their schedule is weak every year besides a couple teams

Their body of work and the strength of schedule forTCU is open for discussion. however, they are undefeated and are likely to win the Conference Championship game. They are rated in both polls higher than Tennessee. Others are asking is Tennessee overrated. I don't think we are ,but we are not on the selection committee so our thoughts do mean a lot and there is not much we can do about it. If we win out and they also do, it will be close. I think our best chance to get in is for OSU to beat the living life out of Michigan and then OSU lose the Big Ten championship game. If that happens, it will not matter what TCU does.

Yeah.

I don’t get the Big Ten love fest every single year.

Most real college football fans know most of the talented foot ball players are playing in the SEC.

I don't think they are overrated. They look like a pretty good team. Would be a tough matchup for UT, IMO. Similar to UGA with the TE packages, except for the number of athletes. They could have used a better OOC opponent than Colorado, who turned out to really suck, but OSU and KSU are still good wins. They are the kind of team that grinds you out for 4 quarters, drags you into deeper water and leaves you to drown.

TCU currently:
#1 SOR
#38 SOS
2 good wins
Undefeated

Ranked 4th

How can they be “over rated”?

They certainly might be playing over their heads and I believe they will lose a game.

In the good old days of Conference Bowl Agreements and fewer bowl games we would probably see with the Current SEC teams.

SEC Champion Georgia in the Sugar Bowl probably playing the loser of Ohio State-Michigan
Tennessee would be in the Cotton Bowl playing TCU
Alabama would be in the Fiesta Bowl playing the loser of UCLA-USC
LSU would be in the Citrus Bowl probably playing Clemson
Ole Miss would be in the Gator Bowl playing North Carolina
Miss State in the Liberty Bowl playing Oklahoma
Florida playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl(Hall of Fame then Outback Bowl) against Illinois
South Carolina in the All American Bowl against Iowa
Kentucky in the Peach Bowl playing Wake Forest
Arkansas in the Independence Bowl against Kansas

Clemson would probably be in Orange Bowl, citrus bowl would be Penn State or Illinois.

The Martinez injury for KSU as well as Baylor's collapse have definitely opened the door for TCU.

Analytics said it was a near impossibility they would stay undefeated a couple weeks ago, now it is still unlikely but certainly in the realm of possibility.

I struggle to call them overrated in the sense they have won and continue to do so. But they are not at all dominant which I think is a different measure.

I think they’re good but not a great team. Not playoff caliber imo, but they do deserve to get in if they win out.

TCU is most deserving of a spot in the playoff if they go 13-0. But they will not be 1 of the "best" 4 teams in the country in the playoff.

And that is a balance the CFP has to handle. Like last year, Cincy was not one of the best four, but they deserved a spot in.

I was under the impression that the role of the CFP committee was to put the best 4 teams in the playoffs.

If that was the case.... The 4 best teams at this point would be as follows:

1- UGA
2- Tennessee
3- Ohio State
4/5 interchangeable- Michigan or LSU
