That said, I have a theory about what transpired over the last week. Of all the games in the final week, the FSU/GA Tech matchup was supposed to be the closest....and it was.
IMO, the committee put FSU on the bubble so they would have no problem bringing OSU in if the game had turned out differently. Now, they have a problem. They put TCU at 3 and Baylor at 5.
Baylor beat TCU head to head. They're going to have to drop TCU 3 spots, with Baylor and OSU in front of them if their criteria actually mean anything. If they do, the whole thing was a sham and they're only after Big Ten eyes and revenue.
I agree.
I think TCU is going to get dropped, Baylor will move up a spot, and OSU is going to be in the playoff, as much as that turns my stomach.
Baylor’s coach has a point, “It is the Big 12 championship game, right? A single champion?. We won that game, and TCU is going to the playoff?”
Why all this emotional handwringing when it is already ordained that the SEC team will walk away with the trophy?
You were exactly RIGHT!!
