Committee Made The Wrong Decision

[dennis580]

Meh...let's not get carried away after losing Treadwell in the Auburn game they weren't the same

after that they went:

Ole Miss 0 Arkansas 30
and
Ole Miss 17 Miss St 31

Arkansas just beat Texas 31-7. so I would say Ole Miss is closer to Texas at the moment than TCU, and TCU beat Texas 48-10.

Bowl Selection Committee did themselves no favors by slotting TCU against a worn out Ole Miss team. Miss St would have been a better test.

Ole Miss BEAT Miss St not the other way around, and of course they also beat Bama.

That Ohio State is in the playoffs because their better than either TCU OR Baylor...take your pick.

No way to tell for sure unless it was played out on the field. tOSU won their conference TCU did not it's that simple

 

[ckhokie]

Maybe the committee was really into seeing tOSU move to 0-11 against the SEC

 

[TheDayMan]

TCU will be the first win for the B12 in bowls games (0-3)

so what myth?

To be fair, the Big 10 is 2-3. They have the same number of losses, but have played more games. The Big 12 is about to be 1-3. And really, the Big 12 probably just had unfavorable matchups in the games they lost... You can't hold it against them.

8 team playoff, problem solved.

No bitch out session needed, until #9 looks good.

B1G has been underdogs in every single game

 

[Phantom]

Hindsight is 20/20, but I have to say I think at this point I would have to agree.

 

[TheDayMan]

B1G has been underdogs in every single game

Really?

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Really?

Every single bowl game they are in this year

 

[ArrogantBAMAFan]

Lot of games there. Any particular reason you skipped Bama v Ole Miss?

Ole Miss beat BAMA.....but lost to LSU.

Congrats on TCU beating the SEC champs.

 

[podsox]

don't lose or have a crazy tough non conference schedule if u do. leaving it up to a coin flip is their own fault.

 

[starbigd]

TCU got passed over because they were not a blue blood program, ITS THAT SIMPLE.

If TCU was OU or Texas, we wouldn't be having this convo. The committee took the name brand and the money.

Or cause they lost to Baylor and didn't win the conference

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

This is a whole bunch of pointlessness.

 

[Rolltide94]

Ole miss beat miss st...

Yup my bad. Guess both Mississippi teams still suck then, lol.

Something we can all agree on

Nope. OSU lost to VT. Try again.

The committee looked at one thing......and made their decision. I dont' care about either team. But if you can't see how much easier it is to sell tickets and generate ad revenue for OSU/Bama vs TCU/Bama then there isn't anything else I can help you with.

If TCU were a legacy program, their entire body of work would have come into play, not just their last game. OSU would be here beating up on Ole Miss right now.

 

[nddulac]

I wouldn't have been upset if TCU got the nod over Ohio State. The two teams were pretty even in terms of their total season performance. So basically, TCU has no one but themselves to blame for being left out. All they had to do was protect that 21 point lead vs. Baylor and they would have been in unambiguously. By the same token, there would be no discussions involving Ohio State had the buckeyes not crapped the bed against Virginia Tech.

Pluses and minuses to both sides of the argument. However, TCU's performance against Ole Miss is irrelevant because this game had not yet been played when the committee had to pick a #4 seed.

I watched us smack you around in front of 107k in your house during our worst season in 20 years.

Losing to Baylor in a squeaker on the road > getting beat up by the only non conference team with a pulse you played.
