Baylor should get in.

Big12 is a better conference than Big10, so Ohio state is out.
Although I do think that TCU is a more complete team, bc their defense is better than Baylors, it really doesn't matter, bc Baylor won the head to head. IMO

They won't, committee will keep TCU in.

They are weighing the margin of victory in common opponents more than the head to head.

home by only 3 points, the standard home field advantage spread, thus casting a pall on the head-to-head.
My gut tells me that since everybody won this weekend, they'll simply stick with the rankings they put out last week in and call it a day.

They won the game.

Honestly, to try and argue that they have a better loss when you are trying to pick between them and the team which beat them is crazy logic.

I agree, but that didn't stop the committee from ranking

TCU a full 3 spots higher in the prior week's poll. I just can't see each of those teams winning tonight and flipping that much.
Ohio State lost at home to Va. Tech by a fair margin, and Va. Tech stunk it up this season - by far the worst loss of any team in consideration.

they'll stick with what they had with Bama facing FSU, and Oregon playing TCU.
Of course, Baylor and Ohio State will scream bloody murder.

murder following the committee's selections regardless. It's not going to be pretty no matter who it is.

Problem for Art is his team got nlown out by an unranked team, winning close at home vs TCU is not losing to #5 away, and the K State margin of victory by TCU/Baylor also goes to the Horned Frogs, 21>11.
And no, Herbie, Ohio St lost to VT, the BIG 10 was crap outside of conference.
