I agree about Michigan State I cannot believe they are 17th. The committee seems to be ignoring losses this year with shit like Syracuse.
I could see TCU over Ohio St.
Both played OU...
TCU lost by 18 on the road, OSU lost by 15 at home. Homefield advantage is generally worth about 3 points, but even more at places like OU and OSU. Advantage TCU.
Both lost to a 6-4 team on the road. TCU lost by 7, OSU lost by 31. Advantage TCU.
TCU's best win is a 13-point win
on the road against Oklahoma St. OSU's best win is a 1-point win
at home against PSU. Considering PSU and Okie St are comparable, advantage TCU.
OSU's assraping of Meatchicken St is obviously more impressive than TCU's 7-point win over WVU. Advantage OSU.
OSU's FBS opponents are slightly better (.580 to .566), and TCU's P5 opponents are slightly better (.585 to .575). Tie.
OSU's MOV against FBS is much better: 23.6 to 12.4. Advantage OSU.
It's pretty close. But if you're saying TCU got "stomped", then OSU got "stomped" by OU as well... and got utterly clownstomped through the other side of the earth by Iowa.
