re: TCU was barely winning games last year

I posted this in another thread. I don't know how it plays out but the TCU argument doesn't make sense to me.

They WON the 1st round. The committee even had them at 3, not 4.

I think putting FSU creates less controversy. Everyone arguing about best loss, best win, worse loss - you can spin it several ways. But putting an undefeated Power 5 champ doesn't need much explaining to me. If you put Alabama then I think several teams could argue they should go over Washington. Washington has won 7 games by single digits.

I do understand the QB argument. But the counter to that is
(1) the 3rd string played today, not the 2nd. The 2nd will be back and he didn't play horrible in his few appearances this year.
(2) that defense actually looks really good.
(3) 2014 Ohio State got in with a QB who was 3rd string and just made his first start in the conference champ game and he went on to win the thing - so you just don't know what they will look like.

If Ole Miss was in FSU's spot and got left out - I would be livid. If I was in Alabama's shoes, I would at least understand more - unfortunately we lost a game at home, and it is what it is. So for that reason, my preference is (1) Michigan (2) Washington (3) Texas (4) FSU

I'm not confident that is what we get though.
