When all is said and done, if TCU wins this Saturday, I think they will be in. TCU's schedule is kind of mediocre, but if they beat Oklahoma, they'll avenge one of their losses while beating a top 4 team
I believe TCU can play their way into the playoff

I don't think they have a shot. The entire Big 12's reputation is based on Oklahoma's win over Ohio State. Rest of league has nothing to show for itself.

Sagarin has it ranked 46, ahead of Alabama (54), but behind of Ohio State (42) I suppose its possible with a committee. Not that my system matters, but they have no shot under it. Have nine teams still in it but UCF is one of those teams and they clearly have no chance with committee. |

TCU has the same problem OSU has: they have TWO losses.
Two loss teams don't deserve to be considered... unless there aren't enough 0, 1-loss teams to fill the field.

Isn’t it patently obvious by now that 4-team playoff field is woefully inadequate?
In due course, the CFP will expand to an 8-team playoff. After that, it might take decades before the morons in charge realize that 16 is the magic number for size of the CFP field.

If Wisconsin and OU win this weekend, 4 will be the PERFECT number. In each of the other CFP years so far, 4 has been plenty... or, even MORE than needed. Last year, for instance, 2 was the perfect number. |

If you can't finish in the T10 or T12, you don't really have an argument. |

HEre's a question for the board:
Which gap is bigger?
P5 - G5?
G5 - FCS?

I was looking at the ratio between the top and bottom in each group; P5, G5 and FCS. As I recall, the ratio's were fairly similar. But, the gap is the biggest in FBS. From a talent perspective, I would think the P5-G5 gap would larger. But, it would just be a guess. 5 stars are harder to find than 2+ stars |

If you can't finish in the T10 or T12, you don't really have an argument. Finishing order in some goofy 'ranking' would have nothing to do with an inclusive 16 team championship. If it was an NCAA style playoff it would be predicated on conference champs going at it plus some ALs to flesh out the field to be divisible by 2 ( no byes) |

This isn't basketball where one player can carry a team. The 1st time the 16th seed won (say an 8-4 Arizona State became the "FBS Tournament Champion"), there would be screams to do away with it. |
