Never cheered for Ohio State and won't after tomorrow

But I did tonight. Why? Bc I want them in the playoff. I want Big 12 to get hosed and have to expand. I love the co- champ debacle after the "one true champion" idiocy. I love the connundrum the Big 12 faces with co-champs weakening the case for playoff inclusion.

I love Art Briles lashing out at the Big 12 commish over all of this. I even love FSU (though I usually hate them as much as OSU and Bama). I love that Texas has lost its luster and some of its dominance and hopefully some of its political dominance and has to concede some ground.



And yes, after being very reluctant historically about getting into Big12, I have conceded that BYU needs to get in, at least in football.

If Ohio State gets left out, won't the outcry be the same though? The Big 10 will flip it's lid because the Big 12 doesn't have a conf championship.



Might not be as much of an incentive for the Big 12 to change, but nonetheless it brings attention to the glaring fact.



I love the FSU is undefeated but has a pretty meh resume' , they can't be left out but they arguably are no more deserving than TCU or Baylor.

Great news! I Feel somewhat bad for TCU and Baylor and yet love that The Big Ego.....err the Big12 has been layed waist. Take that, UT! What Ya got now? Either you will succomb and give up some pie or you will cowardly bolt for Pac12 or make your own conference....wait, you already think you own your own conference (and maybe you do). But hoard your cash and die or get with the national landscape,because you just got seriously punked! One true champion turned into "two champions = no champion = no playoff for you!"

Never seen a more likable injustice! TCU and Baylor both got totally hosed. Ohio State gets in based on and extra game and the eye test, FSU stays in despite the eye test, TCU and Baylor get out despite an extra game in conference and the eye test. Looks like that loss to the #4/5 team in the nation was just to much to overcome for TCU.



I guess TCU should have won by 70 yesterday.



Now if only the other conferences will stick to their guns and not let the Big12 have a championship with 10 teams after they were forced to expand to 12.

Baylor:

3 opponents 12-23 (.343)

SMU 1-11

Northwestern St (FCS) 6-6

Buffalo 5-6



TCU

3 Opponents 16-19 (.457)

Samford (FCS) 7-4

Minnesota 8-4

SMU 1-11



Ohio St

4 Opponents 23-23

Navy 6-5

Virginia Tech 6-6

Kent St 2-9

Cincinnati 9-3



Baylor really doesn't have much of an argument to be made compared to the other two. They played no one in the part of their schedule they control and they needed a miracle finish at home to beat TCU.

I totally agree. I also hope OSU does what they usually do in championship games and gets totally thrashed. That should make the B12 feel even worse.



Go Cougs!

That would be great if OSU gets thrashed now and TCU and Baylor both just thump their opponents. Who in the world am I suppose to cheer for in the non playoff playoff? Saban vs. Urb and the Pac12 vs. FSU. It's like the Russians vs the Germans and Iran vs. ISIS.



I can't believe it but I'm almost hoping for the Pac12 to win it. Someone talk me off the ledge

It should had been Oregon vs OSU in the Rose Bowl. No sense of tradition.
