TCU or Baylor got screwed. I think TCU had the best resume, but Baylor edged TCU head-to-head. Minnesota was the only common opponent for TCU and Ohio State, and TCU rolled over Minnesota, whereas OSU only won by seven.
I agree. I think TCU is the #1 team. But these polls have never been fair.
With only four spots open, someone had to get the short end of the stick this year.
It probably will work out better most years.
