Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered. FSU, Oregon and Bama were locks and the committee wasn't going to keep OSU out after that blitzing of Wisconsin regardless of what anyone else did.

The no title game is just the public excuse. The bottom line is that 12-1 Ohio State is never ever ever ever playing second fiddle to Baylor or TCU unless they are undefeated.

I believe the committee said (or was rumored) at the beginning of the process that conference champs would be very important.

What we do know is that TCU was ranked ahead of Ohio State as long as their SOS was higher. When SOS swung the other way, Buckeyes got the nod.

A title game wouldn't help TCU since they wouldn't have played in it. Baylor won the hypothetical division. Baylor, with another KSU win, would have been neck and neck with OSU. No reason to have a problem with either OSU or BU.
