Just like they boat raced lowly Va Tech that year. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Not a chance. That Ohio State team was a pretender.
Yet Ohio State won the national title that year. I guess they made the wrong choice. Some people just don't get it.
TCU choked away a 4 TD lead against Baylor. This gave Baylor the Big 12 title not TCU. Baylor should have been ranked higher than TCU. Baylor played a weak OOC schedule so they were done.
The final week Ohio State hammered #13 59-0...
TCU final game was a drubbing of 2-10 Iowa State 55-3..
Baylor had a 38-27 win over #9 Kansas State.
Baylor beat TCU @ the frogs house. Then Baylor lost to a 6-6 WVU team by 14 points.
TCU OOC was 7-4 power house Samford LOL, 8-4 Minnesota, 1-11 SMU
Baylor OOC 1-11 SMU, 6-6 Northwestern St. and a 5-6 Buffalo.
OSU OOC was 8-5 Navy, 6-6 VT, 2-9 Kent State and a 9-3 Cincinnati
Not one of the 3 teams had a great OOC. Baylor beat TCU, Knocked TCU out. Baylor lost to WVU and knocked them out and the weak OOC.
Ohio State earned their spot Baylor and TCU not so much.
Love it or hate it, fans learned in Year 1 that the CFP is nothing like the BCS.
