But nobody was saying FSU was out. The discussion seems to be between B12/Ohio.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostGet confident, stupid

I don't know that there were many claiming it was crazy to think it could happen, but there were definitely some who thought it probably wouldn't happen. Big difference, IMO.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
If FSU jumps TCU after a convincing win by the Frogs, Ohio State is in.I'm like LeBron James.

FSU is in no matter what. It comes down to TCU vs tOSU. Baylor seems like a long shot, but I think they as good a case as TCU.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

remember when tOSU lost to Va Tech? Ya, that loss is a lot worse than TCU's loss on the road to a top 10 team. Lets' not just think about yesterday. We are talking about the entire season.Originally posted by dabrockster View Post"Take it to the Bank"Comment

Tcu is the only team whose resume is worse today than it was the day before. Everyone else's SOS went up, theirs dropped. Who is more deserving? It's hard to leave out any of the choices. The fact that a conference will be left out and the fact that the big 12 has 2 teams being considered when the SEC only has one, tells me this thing is going to 8 within 4 years.Comment

It appears likely you'll get your wish. Alabama will be #1 and Ohio State with its name recognition, especially over.the likes of TCU and Baylor, will get in at #4. I don't think we'd be seeing as much of a push for Ohio State if Baylor and TCU were Texas and Oklahoma. Of course, Oklahoma also has primetime meltdown history though they did beat Bama last year.Originally posted by YOhio View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Oklahoma State hurt the Big 12 yesterday. Their win will likely drop Oklahoma out of the top 25 diminishing Baylor and TCU's wins against them.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Who knows if the committee cares about objective rankings but throw this into the mix.
Toughest Schedule rankings (Sagarin):
4. Alabama
33. Oregon
37. FSU
42. TCU
52. Ohio State
56. BaylorComment

Right. My point all along has been that TCU is safe, because FSU couldn't jump them and FSU is lock. I still don't see how FSU jumps TCU after yesterday's games, but if the committee can somehow justify that jump, TCU won't just go from 3 to 4 taking FSU's place, but from 3 to 5.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI'm like LeBron James.

Ohio State has beat 3 ranked teams, TCU has beat 4 ranked teams and both have one loss. TCU's loss came on the road by 3 against a team in the discussion for top 4, while OSU's loss came at home by 14 against a team with a sub .500 record in the ACC. Common opponent is Minnesota - OSU beat them 31-24, TCU beat them 30-7. Having said all that, based on everything I'm hearing, as I mentioned above, if FSU jumps TCU, I think the committee takes OSU over TCU, despite both Baylor and TCU probably being more deserving than the Buckeyes.Last edited by smokymountainrain; 12-07-2014, 08:55 AM.I'm like LeBron James.
