Huge alumni base that's known to travel. We could barely sell our allotment to the title game last year. Auburn had us like 3/4-1 in terms of attendance. All of that then you expect folks to travel 2 weeks after that?

this is why the higher seeded teams needs to have home field advantage and the title game is at a neutral site

imagine osu going to alabama and fsu going to eugene at night

Okay, so hold on. TCU was screwed in the Baylor game and it was @Baylor. Obviously the committee saw it that way or else Baylor would have been ranked over them to start. The committee didn't seem to respect Ohio St. much because of their terrible loss to Va Tech.

How did TCU win by 50+ on Saturday but drop so far?

Well, unfortunately we know why. TCU isn't a national team. This was all about television ratings. Get used to it, people. They aren't trying to decide a real champion, it's about TV money. Always was.

And the stuff that a playoff was supposed to fix such as giving the "little guy, (in this case TCU)" a legit chance to win it all has shown to be absolute rubbish. It's a different classroom with the same damn teachers. It's the same politics and cronyism at the fore.


TCU isn't a little guy anymore. They are in a top 5 conference.



My main issue is the fact that the the committee jumped TCU all the way to number 3 even above FSU and then dropped them after a crushing win. WTF is the point of these rankings?

This has been explained time and time again. This is not the old way. teams are "reranked" week to week

what logical argument does Ohio State have over TCU?

so simply a "title". so TCU gets penalized because of their conference infrastructure? that's bs

So you ignored when he said SOS?

OSU has more quality wins
