Ohio St, TCU, or Baylor??? Who gets in?

Assuming the top 7 teams all win this weekend who do you feel would get the coveted 4th playoff spot? I think it would be completely crazy to put TCU in over Baylor because of a OOC win against Minnesota. I get they might have played a couple teams better or whatever, but at what point does the head to head matter? Surely playing Minnesota can't carry that much weight. After this past weekend I heard some Big 10 homers using Baylor struggling against Texas Tech to discredit them. Well TCU struggled against Kansas, and OSU struggled against Indiana and others.
I hated seeing OSU's qb go down last week. I wonder how much weight the committee will put on not having him. It would be a shame to penalize the team for that even if they win this weekend. They might not get in either way, but I would hate to know it was because they are on their 3rd string qb. To me with Barrett they were playing like a top 4 team. I was fairly impressed the few times I have watched them this year.
With all that said there will probably be chaos this coming weekend and screw everything up haha.

Baylor. Committee will put them in over the rest if they win out.

Good chance Ohio State loses this weekend. Past that, I'm just happy to sit back and watch.

I'm glad someone finally decided to start this thread.

TCU

TCU imo. Their wins are more impressive than Baylor against the same competition basically. I feel the committee will penalize OSU for the QB injury (which is kind of messed up really). Is the committee's job to handicap the playoff games or reward the best 4 resumes?

Again, this is why transparency and methodology are important.
If Baylor wins, you have two schools of thought: head to head or better resume. Baylor won the game by 3 points at home. Check Baylor. TCU has a better resume. They have a higher point differential of common opponents and the "better" loss, plus better OOC win.
I'd vote for TCU. It's the same that happened 2011.
Here is the point differential between opponents:
TCU Baylor Kansas State Oklahoma Texas WVU Oklahoma St Texas Tech Kansas Iowa State SMU TOTAL Difference
Baylor 3 X 34 21 -14 21 2 46 21 45 176 -36
TCU X -3 21 4 38 1 33 55 4 56 212 36

TCU-Kansas and Baylor-Texas Tech were two different games
TCU was playing in the low 20s after snow had just dumped all over Lawrence and there was a decent wind. It was cold. Watching the game you knew TCU was the better team but they were on the wrong end of a bunch of flukey plays that wouldn't happen again if they tried 100 times over.
Meanwhile Texas Tech outplayed Baylor. They fumbled the ball 3 times in Baylor territory after large gains. Apart from those fumbles Baylor could not stop them. That was the difference in the game - If Texas Tech didn't get lazy with ball security the game turns out different. Texas Tech was on equal footing this game. Oh and it was played inside a climate controlled dome.

The committee will select OSU if they beat Wisconsin. IF the committee takes TCU over Baylor then conference champions MEANS nothing and will be rendered meaningless forever.
The committee said the will "heavily weigh conference champions" and the Big 12 has the purest system to determine the champion. IF Baylor and TCU both win there is no way in the world the committee takes TCU over Baylor.

I wouldn't vote OSU in even if they were undefeated.

The question has been answered.

I hope the Bears are selected. I think Ohio State will be selected, however.
