I was just talking about this one the other day. TCU and Baylor both played an impressive season and should have been given a shot at the playoffs. Sadly the B12 didn't have a conference championship and screwed both teams. But even if the B12 would have had a conference championship that year I have a feeling the B12 would have been left out. Baylor and TCU are both to small. Hell when I went to the B12 championship between OU and Baylor in 2019 the Baylor fans didn't even come close to filling up the bottom half of their side of the stadium. Where as OU fans took up nearly 3/4 of the place. But on their sideline there were a lot of empty seats. So I doubt a school like Baylor will ever be given a chance at the playoff until they make it a true playoff.
They quite likely could’ve won the natty that year based off of all the good teams they beat, plus they beat Ole Miss (who had the best defense that year and beat Bane) by 39
Playoff in 2014: "Early season struggles are forgivable. Oh, and you need to win an outright conference title game to make the playoff. So that's why Ohio State got in over TCU and Baylor" Playoff in 2016: "Just because Penn State beat Ohio State head-to-head and won the Big Ten championship game doesn't mean they should get in. They struggled early in the season and we can't overlook that, even if they were dealing with a ton of injuries. Besides, Urban Meyer is our special boy and our contract with the Buckeyes doesn't expire for another year." You hit the nail on the head, it's all about branding. TCU and Baylor were both more deserving of making the playoff in 2014 than Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are a bigger brand. Same thing happened in 2016. Would love to see an 8 team playoff because that might rectify the issue, but even then, who knows?
It’s not binary, early season struggles aren’t the same. Penn State had a 39 point loss to Michigan in addition to a loss to Pitt. Penn State is not far behind OSU from a branding perspective. The difference in 2014 was a 59 point win in an actual conference championship
@@CJ-vq8jw But Ohio State losing by 17 to 7-6 team is irrelevant???? Talk about double standard.... Never mind TCU had a 21 Point Top 10 win just three weeks prior. Never mind the fact that TCU blew out their last four opponents 178-63. In the same time Ohio State beat opponents 174-79.

@@tylerhumpfer2493 using your own words...TCU LOST at Baylor. TCU would only have an argument if they had not played Baylor. If two teams are tied the universal tie breaker has always been head to head. That is why Baylor finished 5th in the Final CFP rankings, and TCU finished 6th. This video should be renamed to why Baylor got Robbed. Baylor's best win (TCU) was better than any win Ohio St had. They both had 14 point losses.
Baylor got into field goal position on a questionable pass interference call at the end of the game. Even the announcers questioned the call. The Frogs were indeed screwed.
TCU and Boise State will always have a special place in my heart just as a college football fan. Always love to see these teams win and always hope they do.
I always believed kellen moore Boise teams and Andy dalton tcu were the two absolute best teams in the country and nobody wanted to face them. The system was terrible to them. They were truly incredible. I’ll never forgive the bcs
I remember Mike Ditka on ESPN on Sunday NFL Countdown before the CFP Selection Special wore a TCU Superfrog head to support them. It was to support his former teammate Bob Lilly, a TCU alum, whom he also played against both in college and the NFL.
I’m a longtime TCU fan and recent graduate... I’m still hurt by this. Our 2014 season was amazing and so was the talent on our team. Went to every home game that year and was shocked yet thrilled at our Peach Bowl performance.
As a Fort Worth resident, I was livid when TCU got dropped from 3 to 6. After beating Iowa State by 50. Worse yet, they got dropped for a brand name. In the years since then, the CFP has always used the “eye test” to favor the brand names, yet when TCU would have passed that, they got snubbed. Total bs
@John Cena it’s not that neither of those teams didn’t pass the eye test (quite frankly, that year showed me that four teams was too few), the problem is that TCU got dropped even though they had done everything you could have asked of them
I remember this team when they weren’t be able to participate in the playoffs, I was surprised about it, but despite their snub, they have been an amazing team to watch, but usually I always forget about that season , since the next season had that game where the frogs made a massive comeback and won over Oregon in the Alamo bowl. That was a season to never forget for how the years ended for TCU.
Leaving both TCU and Baylor out in 2014 because of the Big 12 not having a conference championship game should've set a precedent that decisions made by the conferences can affect the eligibility of teams within those conferences. Moreover, teams that have not reached 10 wins by the time of bowl selection should not be up for playoff consideration. I think you see where I'm going with this.
That was only ‘cause the division system is stupid. OST has fewer total losses but lost their one game to PSU, so a 2 loss team got to the title game over then.
@@danielwest9955 Then don’t have conferences If you can’t be the best team in your conference, you have no business trying to be the best team in the country
@@lordrayden3045 The structure does need some reworking. Since it’s only based on in-conference games, a 4 loss team (with three out of conference losses) could knock out a 1 loss team for a spot in a Conference Championship game.

@@Skipatronic I meant during the regular season. Obviously bowl victories aren’t gonna factor into deciding the rankings, which are determined at the end of the regular season.

@@joshntn37111 would TCU have gone undefeated if they were playing in the American Athletic Conference in 2014? Considering they only barely lost to #5 Baylor, I think any reasonable person could say that yes, they would have. I realize that UCF did everything they could have, but being in a mid-major conference verses being in a power 5 conference makes all the difference in the world. If you think I'm not being fair, look at the record when mid-major teams play power 5 teams.

Please do an isu doc (since campbell). As an isu fan weve had some talent and some big wins but i love watching these teams no matter their record. Love seeing them play every single year.
Both Baylor and TCU got screwed by the Big XII because the Big XII went away from the concept on one true champion when Baylor defeated TCU in a head to head matchup. Ohio State deserved to be there.
I mean Ohio St. shut out wisconsin in the conference championship. but yes if they had got to play a Big 12 Conference Championship they probably wouldve made it in. and then got destroyed by alabama
The thing that never gets talked about is that FSU didn't belong in the playoff. They were undefeated in the regular season but they were in a lot of close games with lesser ACC teams down the stretch, not exactly passing the eye-test. IMO they got a guaranteed spot from the committee because they were a defending national champion. They of course got completely destroyed by Oregon who subsequently got completely destroyed by OSU. In short FSU was who really should have been left out.
I don’t like revisiting that 2014 B1G championship game, from Gary Andersen abandoning Wisconsin practically right before the game to the eventual result of 59-0.
@@matthewhaselhorst1778 ironic you have the kstate logo But let’s continue with that logic So didn’t Baylor deserve to be in over tcu ? I mean they did beat them that year right ?
I was excited they finally got a playoff...then immediately lost interest after TCU got snubbed. The FCS is way more exciting to watch. I love their playoffs.
Baylor was the true Big 12 Champ that year by beating this TCU team. Baylor got robbed by the Big 12 not having a pair to crown them as true Champions, not TCU.
Great video! Just because Ohio State won that year doesn't mean TCU wasn't the better team. The eye test and competition favored TCU over Ohio State big time. The Committee flat out made that decision about money and Ohio State reaped the benefit again in 2020.
As a TCU alumni and A student during the time in question.. it was Heart breaking and Leaves a BAD taste in my mouth to this day yet what makes it A little easier to swallow is the fact OSU went on to win it all. It didn't help that The Big 12 Decided against a conference championship game if TCU would have won a Confrence championship TCU would have Made it in
it is real telling how TCU got left out after playing 1 less game in 2014, yet OSU got in playing anywhere from 3-5 less games then the others in the running this season.

Everyone forgets the real story of this season: Florida State had no business being in the top 4. They somehow just never lost so the committee was forced to put them in at #3. It should’ve been Bama, Oregon, Big12 winner, Ohio State. But these fools in Tallahassee didn’t drop a game like they should’ve at least 3 times. The committee couldn’t snub an undefeated Power 5 champion because they looked bad doing it every week. So they really took Baylor/TCU’s spot. They finally got exposed in the Rose Bowl though.
@@danielwest9955 The Jamies Winston Fumble meme. Multiple memes and gifs about his fumble during the Rose Bowl. Winston, by his own acts, became a walking meme factory while at FSU. Not knocking the kid, he did well as an athlete in college, but the memes were abundant.
There was only two situations that screwed TCU..... 1.Big 12 Commissioner: Bob Bowlsby promoting a 10 team format (while still calling themselves "The Big 12") and claiming the "One true champion" because everyone plays each other. Then go against that and think they were being slick by claiming TCU & Baylor as Co-Champions to the Committee (That decision made it more convenient to go with Ohio St).... 2.The loss to Baylor put both teams at 8-1 and with Baylor with the "head to head" W made Baylor the outright Big 12 Champion not a Co-Champion like it or not, Ohio St deserved to be there but, yeah TCU and that Baylor team were probably just as deserving.
TCU dismantled Ol Miss in the bowl game and Ol Miss had beaten Alabama that year. I don’t believe that TCU would have had any trouble winning the whole thing that year had they been given a shot.
Will never forget how incredible Boise State and TCU were back from 2008-2011. The Kellen Moore Boise teams and Andy Dalton tcu squads were forces!!… bcs treated them terribly. The only teams that could beat Boise and tcu back then were Boise and tcu. Such a shame they got left out of so many major games
It’s truly a shame that the CFP are so skewed and refuse to give smaller teams a shot Sometimes it’s just a magical year but college doesn’t allow that
Hate when people says they should’ve gotten in over FSU. Noles was the defending champs, had Winston and was riding a 20+ winning streak. Also was undefeated unlike TCU.

Looking back on it, Florida State really should have gotten left out. Yes, they were undefeated, but they were just barely beating a bunch of bad teams. If the committee is gonna use the bullshit “eye test” to decide the four best teams, it should actually stand by that and not just use it to justify favoring the brand names
I started liking TCU the year they got left out, but I can't say they got robbed too badly that year, as they lost to Boise st. Think it was 6 to 7 final score
This just showed that name is more important than resume. TCU had an objectively better resume in 2014. The college football playoff is actually ruining college football at this point.
Even if Ohio State didn't make it in the playoff, the committee would've picked Baylor over TCU due to the head-to-head tiebreaker. It honestly blows my mind how many people forget TCU choked mad hard against Baylor, and wouldn't have made it regardless of if OSU or Baylor would've been the choice. If TCU fans want to still be angry over getting snubbed for the eventual champs, be mad at Florida State. They were flirting with disaster on an almost weekly basis that season. They were the undefeated defending champs and still were ranked 3rd behind two one-loss teams because of how badly they played all season.
Unfortunately the first year of the playoff conference championships mattered an the big 12 did not have one. So yes should they have been in yeah maybe but the big 12 screwed TCU out of the playoff. By not having one.
Here is what I think. #1: TCU should’ve been in the playoff, but got robbed of it. #2: The reason why they jumped from 3 to 6 was because Ohio state, Oregon, and Florida state were bigger school names than TCU and didn’t want them in there. #3: The College football playoff committee doesn’t like the Big 12 at all. They all ways have the SEC and Ohio state shoved down our throats. (They get forced to put Clemson on because there good and wouldn’t make since if there were left out) #4: TCU embarrassed and dominated a Ole Miss team that Defeated the Number 1 team in the country, Alabama and Defeated the Number 4 team in Mississippi state. 5: All the evidence on why TCU was robbed. They would’ve ran the table.
BIG12 Conference holds just as much responsibility. They refused to declare a conference champion (either Baylor or TCU). Thus helping to give the selection committee an easy out, by saying they were selecting a true conference champion. In Ohio State's defense, they did show up to play. I think the real pretender in that final four was FSU.
2014 seems so long ago. Patterson has allowed the team to regress since then and has the gall to to take offense if pointed out. They've gone from national contender and weekly NCAA tv features to can't make a bowl. They had the blueprint for success and replaced it with complacency. If Patterson had retired 3 years ago and this was the program of his successor, this guy would have been fired.
Nice video, just one thing: you don’t have to say a player took a pick six to the house. If it’s a pick six then it’s already understood it went to the house.
I am a lifelong Frog fan and, of course, agree the Frogs were screwed by the Prom Queen Nomination Committee. Here's the opening of the ESPN recap of the Peach Bowl win: "Gary Patterson knew just what to say when asked if TCU's rout of Mississippi was a statement the Horned Frogs should have been in the four-team playoff. " 'I don't think I have to say anything,' Patterson said. "No need. The Horned Frogs said it all on the field." www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=400610182
Honestly, TCU got screwed by the Big 12 trying to have their cake and eat it too by declaring TCU AND Baylor co-champions. Baylor was ranked lower but had the tiebreaker for the outright division title since they had beaten TCU. Instead of sticking up for one of the two schools, they diluted the value of their conference title by splitting it up and this allowed Ohio State to overtake them. The TCU/Baylor debacle is the main reason the Big 12 now plays a championship game to determine an outright conference champion.
What is another team I should take a look at?

Playoff in 2014: "Early season struggles are forgivable. Oh, and you need to win an outright conference title game to make the playoff. So that's why Ohio State got in over TCU and Baylor"
Playoff in 2016: "Just because Penn State beat Ohio State head-to-head and won the Big Ten championship game doesn't mean they should get in. They struggled early in the season and we can't overlook that, even if they were dealing with a ton of injuries. Besides, Urban Meyer is our special boy and our contract with the Buckeyes doesn't expire for another year."
You hit the nail on the head, it's all about branding. TCU and Baylor were both more deserving of making the playoff in 2014 than Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are a bigger brand. Same thing happened in 2016. Would love to see an 8 team playoff because that might rectify the issue, but even then, who knows?
It’s not binary, early season struggles aren’t the same. Penn State had a 39 point loss to Michigan in addition to a loss to Pitt. Penn State is not far behind OSU from a branding perspective. The difference in 2014 was a 59 point win in an actual conference championship
@@CJ-vq8jw But Ohio State losing by 17 to 7-6 team is irrelevant???? Talk about double standard....

TCU and Boise State will always have a special place in my heart just as a college football fan. Always love to see these teams win and always hope they do.
I always believed kellen moore Boise teams and Andy dalton tcu were the two absolute best teams in the country and nobody wanted to face them.
The system was terrible to them. They were truly incredible. I’ll never forgive the bcs
@@Mountaindwell4Boise went 50-3 over 4 seasons and only got to play 1 power conference team in the post season after beating OU in 2007
All of my College Football Team Documentary's: ruclips.net/p/PLCwDMhVtyOHgI0PYz7uTKsfkV0mrj0_17
I remember Mike Ditka on ESPN on Sunday NFL Countdown before the CFP Selection Special wore a TCU Superfrog head to support them. It was to support his former teammate Bob Lilly, a TCU alum, whom he also played against both in college and the NFL.
I’m a longtime TCU fan and recent graduate... I’m still hurt by this. Our 2014 season was amazing and so was the talent on our team. Went to every home game that year and was shocked yet thrilled at our Peach Bowl performance.
Great video man! As a tcu student, i felt this pain watching as a fan...
TCU was very good that year. I was hoping they make it.
As a Fort Worth resident, I was livid when TCU got dropped from 3 to 6. After beating Iowa State by 50. Worse yet, they got dropped for a brand name. In the years since then, the CFP has always used the “eye test” to favor the brand names, yet when TCU would have passed that, they got snubbed. Total bs
@John Cena it’s not that neither of those teams didn’t pass the eye test (quite frankly, that year showed me that four teams was too few), the problem is that TCU got dropped even though they had done everything you could have asked of them
I remember this team when they weren’t be able to participate in the playoffs, I was surprised about it, but despite their snub, they have been an amazing team to watch, but usually I always forget about that season , since the next season had that game where the frogs made a massive comeback and won over Oregon in the Alamo bowl. That was a season to never forget for how the years ended for TCU.
The four best team that year were “OSU, Oregon, Bama, and TCU” but you can’t leave an undefeated team out though. That’s just hindsight though 🤷🏼♂️
Leaving both TCU and Baylor out in 2014 because of the Big 12 not having a conference championship game should've set a precedent that decisions made by the conferences can affect the eligibility of teams within those conferences. Moreover, teams that have not reached 10 wins by the time of bowl selection should not be up for playoff consideration. I think you see where I'm going with this.
Funny they didn't care about Osu playing one this year.
Yet interestingly 2014 seems to be the only year in which winning your conference actually mattered....
How convenient
how were they robbed when the team above them won the natty
That's crazy, in the first year of the CFP, it was clear that it needed to be bigger.
2016 penn state. They won the big 10(usually a playoff bid) and beat ohio state who got in, but ohio state got blown out in thd playoff.
Good idea
Great idea! That could be my next one
That was only ‘cause the division system is stupid. OST has fewer total losses but lost their one game to PSU, so a 2 loss team got to the title game over then.
@@danielwest9955
Then don’t have conferences
If you can’t be the best team in your conference, you have no business trying to be the best team in the country
@@lordrayden3045 The structure does need some reworking. Since it’s only based on in-conference games, a 4 loss team (with three out of conference losses) could knock out a 1 loss team for a spot in a Conference Championship game.
I think that UCF being snubbed is worse than TCU in 2018 considering they were 25-0 being undefeated for two whole seasons while beating Auburn in bowl game.
UCF were playing a bunch of nobodies. TCU was murdering ranked teams. Their snub was worse.
@@mikerivera373 so I guess beating Auburn who beat both Georgia and Bama are nobodies.
@@Skipatronic I meant during the regular season. Obviously bowl victories aren’t gonna factor into deciding the rankings, which are determined at the end of the regular season. And even so, there’s a difference between playing one ranked team and a bunch of weak teams verses playing in a stronger conference with multiple ranked teams
@@mikerivera373 TCU had their chance and blew it by losing. If they wouldn't have lost they would have been in. UCF on the other hand goes 13-0 in 2017 and then 12-0 in 2018 and still didn't make it. How many years has TCU gone undefeated??
@@joshntn37111 would TCU have gone undefeated if they were playing in the American Athletic Conference in 2014? Considering they only barely lost to #5 Baylor, I think any reasonable person could say that yes, they would have. I realize that UCF did everything they could have, but being in a mid-major conference verses being in a power 5 conference makes all the difference in the world. If you think I'm not being fair, look at the record when mid-major teams play power 5 teams. UCF beating all of those teams is not as impressive as TCU going 11-1 in the Big 12 (especially in 2014 when like half the conference was ranked)
BJ Catalon was the starting RB going into the season. Green didn’t become the starter until Catalon was injured against West Virginia.

TCU got screwed in 2010 . They were the best team in the country. They got screwed again in 2014 by not being invited to the playoffs.
Please do an isu doc (since campbell). As an isu fan weve had some talent and some big wins but i love watching these teams no matter their record. Love seeing them play every single year.
As an ok state fan, I have a respectful dislike for y’all (especially in basketball). Y’all always give us fits even in down years
I can't believe how many people are still hurt by this.
Both Baylor and TCU got screwed by the Big XII because the Big XII went away from the concept on one true champion when Baylor defeated TCU in a head to head matchup. Ohio State deserved to be there.
I mean Ohio St. shut out wisconsin in the conference championship. but yes if they had got to play a Big 12 Conference Championship they probably wouldve made it in. and then got destroyed by alabama
The thing that never gets talked about is that FSU didn't belong in the playoff. They were undefeated in the regular season but they were in a lot of close games with lesser ACC teams down the stretch, not exactly passing the eye-test. IMO they got a guaranteed spot from the committee because they were a defending national champion. They of course got completely destroyed by Oregon who subsequently got completely destroyed by OSU. In short FSU was who really should have been left out.
I don’t like revisiting that 2014 B1G championship game, from Gary Andersen abandoning Wisconsin practically right before the game to the eventual result of 59-0.
2017 Wisconsin Badgers were 12-0 going into the Big Ten Championship Game and lost and got left out.
Ohio State won the National Championship though...

Baylor was the true Big 12 Champ that year by beating this TCU team. Baylor got robbed by the Big 12 not having a pair to crown them as true Champions, not TCU.
Great video! Just because Ohio State won that year doesn't mean TCU wasn't the better team. The eye test and competition favored TCU over Ohio State big time. The Committee flat out made that decision about money and Ohio State reaped the benefit again in 2020.

As a TCU alumni and A student during the time in question.. it was Heart breaking and Leaves a BAD taste in my mouth to this day yet what makes it A little easier to swallow is the fact OSU went on to win it all. It didn't help that The Big 12 Decided against a conference championship game if TCU would have won a Confrence championship TCU would have Made it in
Remember when Oregon was beating TCU 31-0 at halftime and TCU was that game in overtime. In the Alamo bowl
it is real telling how TCU got left out after playing 1 less game in 2014, yet OSU got in playing anywhere from 3-5 less games then the others in the running this season.

Everyone forgets the real story of this season:
Florida State had no business being in the top 4. They somehow just never lost so the committee was forced to put them in at #3.
It should’ve been Bama, Oregon, Big12 winner, Ohio State. But these fools in Tallahassee didn’t drop a game like they should’ve at least 3 times.
The committee couldn’t snub an undefeated Power 5 champion because they looked bad doing it every week.
So they really took Baylor/TCU’s spot.

Lol lots of fireworks
There was only two situations that screwed TCU.....
1.Big 12 Commissioner: Bob Bowlsby promoting a 10 team format (while still calling themselves "The Big 12") and claiming the "One true champion" because everyone plays each other. Then go against that and think they were being slick by claiming TCU & Baylor as Co-Champions to the Committee (That decision made it more convenient to go with Ohio St)....
2.The loss to Baylor put both teams at 8-1 and with Baylor with the "head to head" W made Baylor the outright Big 12 Champion not a Co-Champion like it or not, Ohio St deserved to be there but, yeah TCU and that Baylor team were probably just as deserving.
TCU dismantled Ol Miss in the bowl game and Ol Miss had beaten Alabama that year. I don’t believe that TCU would have had any trouble winning the whole thing that year had they been given a shot.
the fact they split the conference title with baylor kept em out. but the better team got in anyways, and won the title
Man TCU was just different back then. I remember that decision
I can't consider them a snub if the team that got in over them won it all.
Or you could argue that this makes it a larger snub...
Those TCU uni's @ 6:34 are FIRE!!!!!!
Will never forget how incredible Boise State and TCU were back from 2008-2011. The Kellen Moore Boise teams and Andy Dalton tcu squads were forces!!… bcs treated them terribly.
The only teams that could beat Boise and tcu back then were Boise and tcu. Such a shame they got left out of so many major games
It’s truly a shame that the CFP are so skewed and refuse to give smaller teams a shot
Sometimes it’s just a magical year but college doesn’t allow that
I mean Ohio state did win the natty sooo
ik why they mad
Hate when people says they should’ve gotten in over FSU. Noles was the defending champs, had Winston and was riding a 20+ winning streak. Also was undefeated unlike TCU.
This was a fun team to watch. I was really surprised when they were left out.
ohio state won 59-0 in the big tenchamps with a thrid string qb. i think that says thats a reason they got in.
The main problem was that the big12 at the time Did not have a championship game which clearly hurt

Still robbed
Looking back on it, Florida State really should have gotten left out. Yes, they were undefeated, but they were just barely beating a bunch of bad teams. If the committee is gonna use the bullshit “eye test” to decide the four best teams, it should actually stand by that and not just use it to justify favoring the brand names
They should've left Florida State out. They didn't belong regardless being undefeated
fax, they barely won a lot of their games that year and just weren’t very impressive in general
I started liking TCU the year they got left out, but I can't say they got robbed too badly that year, as they lost to Boise st. Think it was 6 to 7 final score
This just showed that name is more important than resume. TCU had an objectively better resume in 2014. The college football playoff is actually ruining college football at this point.
Even if Ohio State didn't make it in the playoff, the committee would've picked Baylor over TCU due to the head-to-head tiebreaker. It honestly blows my mind how many people forget TCU choked mad hard against Baylor, and wouldn't have made it regardless of if OSU or Baylor would've been the choice.
If TCU fans want to still be angry over getting snubbed for the eventual champs, be mad at Florida State. They were flirting with disaster on an almost weekly basis that season. They were the undefeated defending champs and still were ranked 3rd behind two one-loss teams because of how badly they played all season.
As a Baylor fan, I’m so happy we spoiled TCUs chance of making the playoff. Makes the cotton bowl hurt a little less.
Unfortunately the first year of the playoff conference championships mattered an the big 12 did not have one. So yes should they have been in yeah maybe but the big 12 screwed TCU out of the playoff. By not having one.
This is why college football should go to a 8 team playoff
This Frogs team could have won it all that year.
For that lone season I was a HUGE horned frog fan
Here is what I think.
#1: TCU should’ve been in the playoff, but got robbed of it.
#2: The reason why they jumped from 3 to 6 was because Ohio state, Oregon, and Florida state were bigger school names than TCU and didn’t want them in there.
#3: The College football playoff committee doesn’t like the Big 12 at all. They all ways have the SEC and Ohio state shoved down our throats. (They get forced to put Clemson on because there good and wouldn’t make since if there were left out)
#4: TCU embarrassed and dominated a Ole Miss team that Defeated the Number 1 team in the country, Alabama and Defeated the Number 4 team in Mississippi state.
5: All the evidence on why TCU was robbed. They would’ve ran the table.
i just saying as a lsu fan i believe that loss to baylor 63-56 was the decision if they beat baylor there in
BIG12 Conference holds just as much responsibility. They refused to declare a conference champion (either Baylor or TCU). Thus helping to give the selection committee an easy out, by saying they were selecting a true conference champion. In Ohio State's defense, they did show up to play. I think the real pretender in that final four was FSU.
2014 seems so long ago. Patterson has allowed the team to regress since then and has the gall to to take offense if pointed out. They've gone from national contender and weekly NCAA tv features to can't make a bowl. They had the blueprint for success and replaced it with complacency. If Patterson had retired 3 years ago and this was the program of his successor, this guy would have been fired.
Did you really bring up Andy Dalton and not L.T???????????
Nice video, just one thing: you don’t have to say a player took a pick six to the house. If it’s a pick six then it’s already understood it went to the house.
I am a lifelong Frog fan and, of course, agree the Frogs were screwed by the Prom Queen Nomination Committee. Here's the opening of the ESPN recap of the Peach Bowl win:
"Gary Patterson knew just what to say when asked if TCU's rout of Mississippi was a statement the Horned Frogs should have been in the four-team playoff.
" 'I don't think I have to say anything,' Patterson said.
"No need. The Horned Frogs said it all on the field."
www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=400610182
For people arguing it was a snub, it’s hard because Ohio state went all the way and won it all,
I really don’t think a TCU couldn’t have done it
The removal of TCU literally doesn’t make any sense.
Honestly, TCU got screwed by the Big 12 trying to have their cake and eat it too by declaring TCU AND Baylor co-champions. Baylor was ranked lower but had the tiebreaker for the outright division title since they had beaten TCU. Instead of sticking up for one of the two schools, they diluted the value of their conference title by splitting it up and this allowed Ohio State to overtake them. The TCU/Baylor debacle is the main reason the Big 12 now plays a championship game to determine an outright conference champion.
They Had one till 2009 and stopped it because os Ndomonkong Suh.
I went to every home game that season. We should’ve been in the playoff fr
