CFB Committee Nailed It
- Thread starter KeatonsCorner
- Start date
TCU only beat 2 teams that season that were in the top 25 at the time the selection committee convened: Minnesota (25th) and KSU (11th)
They also played an FCS school in their OOC. Meanwhile tOSU beat 3 top 25 teams (at season's end) and had a much better OOC slate.
And Ohio State played Kent State. Stop being disingenuous.
And they (Ohio State) lost at home to VT by 14 points who went 6-6.
TCU's loss was to Baylor, at Baylor by three points, who went 11-1.
They both deserved a shot. It's a messed up system. I don't know why anyone would try to defend it...other than being an Ohio State homer.
The problem with 2014 is Florida State was 13-0 and honestly not very good. Oregon beats Florida State 59-20 then Oregon turns around and gets beat 42 -20 so one could make the argument TCU was better then Florida State and Oregon. The problem is this, The committee just told everyone this year that OOC schedule does not matter but it did matter in 2014. If the idea is to get the four best teams well in 2014 you didn't.
Its not the four best records, its the four best teams! And, again, the committee just said championships and OOC only matter sometimes. Its why you need to take the committee out and let the conference championship winners go to the playoff.
Keatons continues to befuddle the haters with facts and figures. Ohio State was 11-1 last season, too, but didn't get invited to the Playoffs. Why? Because there was a conference champion with the same 11-1 record (Oklahoma), which was there to take Ohio State's place, and Ohio State's resume wasn't as good in 2015, as it was this past season. As had been the case in the past two seasons, no two-loss team was invited to join the Playoff Party this season.
Ohio State was 12-1, and TCU was 11-1. Did you forget? Perhaps, you also forget that Ohio State proved it belonged by winning the whole thing. Why are you still whining about the 2014 playoff participants, anyway? SMH
I'll say this. Ohio State actually benefited from not being eligible for their conference championship, and something about that doesn't seem right.
Alabama lost a starting LB for the playoffs in their game vs. Florida.

If you notice I said TCU should have been in over Florida State and/or Oregon. That FSU team was not that good at all. I realize its hard to leave a 13-0 team out but they were not that good.
Ohio State and Alabama were 1 and 2 in 2014 but after that its pretty easy to go back and look that Oregon and FSU (no matter the record) were not that good. It was my understanding that we were to have football "professionals" make decisions that would pick the 4 best teams no matter the record
And TCU ended up beating #9 Ole Miss, 42-3.
Try to improve upon your reading comprehension.
"They both deserved a shot. It's a messed up system."
Yea, you don't get to point out tOSU's OOC opponents............... TCU played an FCS team and a 1 win SMU program......
In 2014, the conference championship game in the B10 gave tOSU a chance, which they took, to accumulate one more top 25 victory than TCU did................
reality.............. facts.................... drink it innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
and what did tOSU do, to pull the BS hindsight argument................... won the damn thing.
They really did deserve a shot in this case and its the perfect reason this current system has problems. A 13-0 FSU teams gets in and they really were not one of the top 4 teams but how do you leave them out. Then its plain as day Oregon was not on the same level as OSU.
Yes, TCU had a poor OOC schedule that year and it was used against them when we all know TCU was still one of the top 4 teams, we now know Washington has an OOC much like TCU's and its ok this year.
Question: so we leave out a 2 lose team when we think they could be better. Maybe the debate here is Penn State should be in but not Washington?
Switch the teams with exact same format.
Ohio State at 11-2 winning their conference championship. Beat an undefeated and ranked PSU team. Getting curb stomped by Michigan. Loss to Pitt. You don't think Ohio State gets in with 2 losses and PSU is 11-1. Think again.
Alright, T-Bone/Allen, I'll play along: If your statement is correct, then why was an 11-1 and defending National Champion Ohio State team left out of last year's playoffs?
They matter but everyone in America knows Ohio St is better than PSU. Why haters are upset with Committee for acknowledging the obvious is ridiculous. The argument was between Washington and PSU. 3 conference Champions got in so what's the point?
Depends if PSU in that year is clearly better than a two loss OSU. I would think if it was obvious that PSU was clearly better than OSU that year PSU would go to playoffs right. Easy
The debate is Washington got in with a SOS of about the same TCU had in 2014 but TCU was left out, and why have conference championships if the winner is not getting in?
You know what is funny? WVU fans are taking PSU's playoff snub much worst than what they are. They lost two games. They blew it. They were lucky to beat Wisky. Bama would beat them in a ruthless manner.
Oh is that what thread morphed into. My point is Confernce Championship is one of several factors. Not the main factor. SOS is also a factor. Super!
Why is an Ohio State "grad" posting non stop on a WVU board? I think you'd be better off trolling the Clemson fans.
To determine a conference champion for leagues that do not play a round-robin schedule
mostly.
Wrong board, but if you insist...why do you pretend not to be a Penn State fan when you argue why Ohio State shouldn't be in the CFP? As for posting here, I have lived in West Virginia for 26 years. How about you?
What the heck does the location that you live have to do with the team fan board that you post on?
I lived in VA for 15 yrs before getting back to WV and never found the need to go to UVA and VT fan boards to argue over a difference of opinion. What's your point? Fan boards aren't set up based on proximity of fans - they are set up for that team's fans to discuss info (and argue over stupid crap).
NOBODY cares about Virginia football, and the Chokies have a rabid, but small, fan base. As you know, 99% of this State roots for WVU. Y'all start myths on a regular basis, and my purpose on Earth is to disabuse of your delusions. 
Look, the problem is the committee said they were giving teams with strong OOC, Conference Championships, and head-to-head games the benefit and this year with Penn State they did not do that. So, yes, Ohio State was the better team, and they want the four best teams.NOBODY cares about Virginia football, and the Chokies have a rabid, but small, fan base.

Its just the rules change every year and because of that its up to the opinion of 12 people. Just like the year Ohio State won I don't feel like they got the 4 best teams(FSU and or Oregon should have been left out). This year Im not sure Washington deserves a sit at the table. I really think Michigan or Penn State is better.
OOC sucked balls for Ohio State in 2015. Hawaii, N.Illinois, Western Michigan. The only ranked teams they played were Michigan State and Michigan. They were 1-1
OU OOC - Akron, #23 Tennessee, Tulsa. OU played 5 ranked teams and went 5-0.
And since you used my profile name it tells me that you know I am right.
That's all very informative, but your point was that a two-loss team Ohio State's with Penn State's resume would have been invited to the Playoff, and you have absolutely no evidence to support your agenda-driven statement, as a one-loss Ohio State team was left out last year, and no two-loss team ever has been invited to the CFP. Thanks for playing, though!
Ohio State troll has lost his mind. Go home drink your snot and stay in the woodshed and out of the Woolworth's.
