Ohio State in the -6 or -8 range is what it should be for most power rankings. Translates to Ohio State -2 to -4 on a neutral field. They ain't trapping or reverse trapping anybody. |

TCU lost to a top 5 team on the road by 3 points, in a game they were ahead the whole time. Ohio State lost at home to a bad Virginia Tech team by double digits, but lets just sweep that under the rug.....The Big 10 is a complete joke this year. They have ONE RANKED WIN OOC as a whole conference. Indiana over Mizzou. Even last place Iowa State handled & beat Iowa, a team Wisconsin barely survived. So you want the second place big 12 team to be in the championship correct? |

Hahahahaha!!! That's even funnier than saying TCU deserves to be in. The players on that team don't give a shit about the school getting extra money, especially if it means getting absolutely embarrassed. And I don't think you know the intricacies of throwing games. Usually there's a few bad plays/calls to stop momentum at key points, and the team fails to cover by a touchdown or so. Throwing the game and not covering by 63 points is a little overboard hahahaha. Nobody would volunteer for that embarrassment. Unless you believe that the Ohio State playoff money will be distributed to Wisconsin players personally, then throwing the game would make sense. And if you do believe that, I got some oceanfront property in Idaho to sell you hahaha. |

I hope Ole Miss beats the crap out of 'em...... But TCU has more impressive wins than Ohio State haven't you been listeningt to the arguments? TCU is 2-1 vs ranked opponents and has zero wins against top 10 teams. Compare that to Ohio State who is 3-0 vs ranked opponents with only one win coming against a top 10 opponent. And a second place big 12 team is way more deserving than a team than the Big 10 champs! Okay I'll stop now I'm starting to sound ridiculous hahahaha. Only thing worse than arguing TCU against Ohio State, is arguing TCU against Baylor. Those arguments are really hilarious. |

Yeah that pretty much proves that TCU has no gripe |

I don't care where you're from, if you think a second place big 12 team deserves to be in the playoffs then you need help.

Top 25??? You're talking about the team that lost to Northern Iowa right? Like by 20 points? The same Northern Iowa team that couldn't beat division 1 powerhouse Hawaii? HAHAHAHA |

They could have won 140-0. TCU was F'ed unless Baylor and Ohio state lost. The point was a tough game or championship game at end of year. It sucks for them and is definitely not "fair" cause the schedule is the schedule but that was the reason. Logic? You think a team that can't win the sorry Big 12, and barely beat Kansas, deserves to be in the playoffs. You are not allowed to talk about logic hahaha. |

What will the Florida St vs Ohio St National Championship game line be?

You think a team that didn't win it's conference, and almost lost to Kansas is much much much more deserving than the defending national champs that hasn't lost a game yet? That is fascinating. Please explain. |

That's confusing to you? You must be somebody who thinks TCU should be in.

The year Cam Newton won the national championship, Bama woulda been favored over every team in the country. Would y'all have wanted Bama in the national title game because odds makers and analytics showed that they were the best team?

Sagarin had Bethune Cookman in his top 4 at one point last year hahaha |

What is transpiring throughout the season is leading the majority of folks including Vegas to believe TCU is the stronger team at this juncture. The goal is to get the 4 best teams in. I guess we will have to wait and see Agree with you 100% that TCU is better team and that they'd be favored against Baylor on a neutral field. But the playoffs shouldn't be a Vegas Power Ranking. Cam Newton's Auburn team would have been a dog to Alabama if they played again, but nobody said Bama should be in the natty. |
