TCU had a good team last year, that team had 8 NFL draft picks which was among the top 4 or 5 teams last year.

What happened to TCU was they had to up against a physical talented Michigan team and spend tons of emotion and then turn around 8 days or so later and play UGA. UGA played an emotional physical game vs. Ohio State and then had to play TCU.

FSU has dudes all over the field, their Defense has NFL guys, and their 2 WR's are NFL guys. They have a defense that will keep them in games. 2nd team QB is serviceable (went on road at swamp and won a rival game at night). If FSU does get in, it would have helped the 2nd team QB's development to play last night (would have been 3rd game he played as Travis went out early vs. North Alabama).

Which team was better built for that type of 2 week grind, UGA was. TCU had a really good starting 22 but depth to handle a 2 week stretch vs. Michigan and UGA. Well, results showed that was the issue.

Texas from the BIG12 this year is not TCU, they have dudes, lots of dudes in their 2 deep.

these blanket declarations saying undefeated equals better than playing a tough schedule is not right

Then the committee needs to state prior to the start of the season which conference champion will be left out.

If you're in a P5 conference and win all your games, you should reasonably expect to be in the playoff. Not FSU's fault that Clemson, UNC, Wake, LSU, Florida, and others in the ACC shite the bed.

It is Bama's fault that it lost AT HOME to Texas. Tough shite. Bama also looked mediocre most of the season with just a couple of exceptions. JUST LAST WEEK, Bama looked like total crap against a badly outmanned Auburn team. Only Auburn's total incompetence allowed Bama to overcome its own mediocrity.
