The fourth team is irrelevant at this point just a sacrificial lamb for Georgia

VOLS will absolutely obliterate Ohio State

I will never, ever understand how you can get ultra-conservative when the other team only needs a FG to beat you, and essentially take three knees and give the ball back the way Aranda and Beilema did today. Your team has left its guts on the field, and you roll over and play 'prevent offense'?

Especially Baylor. Never expected Illinois to win, but Baylor is a decent team playing at home and has outplayed TCU all afternoon. Aranda needs to tell his offense there "we're getting a first down and closing this out", but instead says "don't make a mistake and maybe we can get lucky again like the 2-pt. conversion drop". Inexcusable.

Why OSU over TCU? OSU has wins over two top 25 (at the time they played) in ND and Penn St. TCU has five over OK, KS, OkSU, KSU and TX.

All five of those with the exception of K State have proven to be complete trash since TCU played them

Fun to speculate but that is all that any of this is. Idle speculation. We aren’t going to know anything till the last weekend. Have to let it play out. If anybody says they know, they are lying and guessing. Nobody can say what that committee will do.

Both TCU and Michigan both looked bad today even though they win by late field goals. Especially TCU Style of wins matter

And I'll give you one more - why would Aranda kick the extra point to go up 8 when a 2-pt. conversion closes it out right there, and it's highly unlikely
TCU would go for two if they score a TD. Aranda played not to lose down the stretch instead of letting his team win the game, and it cost him.

When you play not to lose that’s a sure way to lose.

I fully expect us to beat South Carolina tonight but that game and next week at Vanderbilt are the only games our team has any ability at all to affect the outcome. Those teams still have players who have pride and will do their best to spoil our playoff chances completely. Whatever anyone else does or doesn’t do, how their record is in the end, and how the committee chooses the playoff seeds are beyond our control.

Any number of scenarios still can play out, but if we don’t handle these last games we go from sometimes not making it in to for sure not making it in; not to mention the embarrassment of losing to teams we have no business losing to. I’m pretty confident we will win them, and know we very much should win them, but until we are at least out of the regular season I don’t see any point in being stressed over the other what ifs and maybes.

Yeah, and we've beat two still in the top 10. TCU simply doesn't have to play Georgia unlike us or they'd be about 5+ spots lower in the rankings right now

I am not saying they are better than us, but they are undefeated and will probably win their conference. An undefeated power 5 conference winner will be above us in the playoff rankings.

We both know Georgia would beat either of these posers by 30. The Playoff Committe apparently values undefeated teams with weak schedules more than actual contenders.

What the committee values is conference championships which sadly Tennessee isn't playing for because they LOST. As @joevol33 said, you are setting the table for fake outrage.

TCU is not better than probably anyone in the current top 10 - its clearly a beauty contest if they stop top 4

They should value selecting the four best teams in the country instead.

How do you decide this when the majority of one’s schedule is against teams within their own conference? I think Alabama would be favorites over Ohio State, Michigan, TCU, LSU, and possibly even Tennessee on a neutral field. Does that mean they should be in the playoff? At some point, wins and losses have to matter no matter what conference you’re in, otherwise you’re saying teams are allowed to drop games and they would have an unfair advantage because of this.

TCU and Michigan are out or it’s a complete sham. No respect or legitimacy.

If TCU wins next week and then wins the Big XII championship, they will be in the playoff regardless of how they won. We need a USC loss and a big loss by Michigan next week.

NO it won't. They play Iowa st next week and then will have to play Kansas ST in the Big 12 championship game.

This team has no-showed 2 of the last 3 weeks with the opportunity to prove they belong. There's no hate from the national media, they just don't have the orange goggles.

I don’t believe UT has to be concerned with playoff contention right now.

Tuesday we will find out how big of a joke the CFB playoff committee is. Of course TCU winning is great for them however no person with a brain can watch TCU play and then Tennessee and think TCU is a better football team. Period

I think it’s going to be and easy decision.
