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?

I think OSU is in if they win by 13+, unless someone in the top 3 losses. Then if OSU wins, they are in

i think Baylor if they beat K State convincingly this weekend....they have the advantage here, playing a good team last

Baylor beat Kansas by 46, TCU won by 4
Baylor beat OU by 34, TCU won a close game
Both beat Texas and SMU handily
Baylor beat TCU head to head.
Seems that would be the deciding factor, if Baylor beats K State Saturday.

Baylor lost to West Virginia by 14. TCU beat West Virginia by 1.
That said, I still think Baylor should get in.

Have they been tho? Look pretty similar to me. Sure they struggled with Tech, but they blew out Kansas. Maybe the score was a bit closer for the Okie Lite game, but they beat OU much more convincingly. It's really hard for me to say they are more deserving

If all win out, I believe that Ohio St with the clear conference championship and beating Wisconsin with their 3rd string QB is who the committee will choose.
That said, I think you can back and forth on all 3 teams' resumes and have compelling arguments for each of them.

I am expecting the committee to be preferential to the big programs, so I hope all win out so we can see if they pick OSU.

Agree, I almost added "and they are named Ohio State instead of TCU or Baylor" as the 3rd reason I think the committee ultimately picks them with it being so close.

TCU is the best right now, but probably Baylor

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

I don't think OSU should be in. They have a terrible loss and few quality wins.
