Baylor has the best athletes right now in the Big 12, but they have been somewhat exposed offensively by both Texas and WVU.

That being said, if they played FSU, I think they'd present a huge problem for the FSU DB's.

TCU is a better overall team though and I think they matchup well against FSU or Miss St should those be the top 2 teams.

They probably could beat FSU but i think they'd get worked by Bama, Auburn, Oregon, and even TCU now

If they've pretty much beaten the same teams, have the same record and Baylor won the head to head I don't see how you can put TCU in over them...
:patrice:
I personally think TCU might lose at Texas. They might be too cocky going into that game and Charlie Strong got that D playing good right now

while ive been saying "let it play out" for weeks, the committee releasing their bullshyt rankings each week paints them into a corner, and goes against the "let it play out" argument. they shouldnt bother trying to rank playoff teams until the end of the season. otherwise, they have to come up with different reasons for their rankings for each team. they go by head to head for one team, and by schedule strength for another, and common opponent for another. its dumb as fukk. committee had asu over nd last week because they won more impressively vs a common opponent in stanford. tcu won more impressively vs a common opponent in west virginia, so why exactly is bama ranked ahead of them? oh now youre ranking those 2 on the "eye test"? whole process is a joke
they are attention whores

there is no reason for this ranking to come out every single week

you're forgetting the role Texas Tech played in that decision.
Still was bullshyt, Texas lost to them on the last play at TT. OU blew them out at home. If you switch the 2 weeks those games occured, OU never would have jumped Texas

Was there ever a time in your life where you thought you'd say this sentence and it could be true? It's amazing how they came up.

It wasn't bs. Questionable, but not bs. They were highly ranked when we crushed them. They weren't ranked very high when they beat Texas.

And then you have to consider the rest of the schedule results.
