re: Mack Brown and Brett Murphy Say TCU Got Screwed Because of Their Name

Releasing any polls before the final selection by the playoff committee is the stupidity here. If they simply didn't post a poll every Tuesday, people couldn't say crap about TCU being 3rd or tOSU being 4th. By publishing that poll 5 days earlier, the committee set themselves up to look like fools.

Wisconsin is an extremely overrated and one dimensional team that LSU beat with a horrid QB and a defense that was a sieve with Welter at MLB.

Them running through a horrid big 10 doesn't mean jack. Outside of Indiana beating Missouri, the Big 10 proved all season that they didn't belong in any discussion for the playoffs.

They pulled back up in the rankings by having little depth in their conference. They had bad teams and good teams, while looking at the SEC, they had a plethora of good teams that knocked each other down and same goes for the Pac 10.

There were three legit title contenders in the Big XII in Baylor, TCU and KSU, and the Big XII had a decent record in OOC unlike the Big Ten.

TCU beat Minnesota, West Virginia beat Maryland, Iowa State (worst team in the Big XII) beat Iowa (middle pack Big Ten). KSU kept up close with Auburn.

The Big Ten had 1 legitimate OOC win all season, yet somehow proved to be better than the Big XII that had 3 against them alone. There in lies the problem with giving the spot to tOSU.

Committee got it right. Big 12 deserved what it got for not having clearly defined a champ.

No way Texas or OU would have been bypassed if it had been them instead of TCU.

On a neutral field, TCU beats Ohio State by double digits.

You think the committee got it right even though you also think that TCU would wreck Ohio State and that Texas/OU would not have been passed over due to being traditional big names?

So... The Big 12 teams are better but you still think Ohio State should be in? What?
