I agree with you that Baylor should have been in over TCU. My gripe is how can the committee remove TCU from the top 4 when they were in it the week before? TCU did not nothing to but destroy a bad Iowa State team. They did what they were supposed to do. If I was TCU, I would be pissed. It's just that simple.
And that's what hurt them. All the other teams did what they were supposed to but against better teams. Actually I believe Ohio St. was an underdog against a really good Wisconsin team. And they did nothing but destroy them in the championship game. Baylor beat a really good Kansas St. team. FSU beat a really good Georgia tech team. Bama beat a good Missouri team. All top 20 teams. And TCU beat Iowa St. It just comes down to the last week and full resume. That last week was a big piece of the puzzle to the committee. I think they got it right. If the Big 12 had a conference championship and TCU and Baylor played on championship week with the other conference championships going on, I would guarantee the winner of that game would be in right now.
