That baseball stadium in Texas is so freaking ugly.   Looks like a giant grill.

Soft lob for an interception.  TCU trails to start the 4th. 

[sagnam]

Getting away from TCU now.  Also, Michigan needs to pay attention to these 2 games.

[lordstanley]

28-17. TCU better at the very least better keep it close if they know what’s good for them. If it gets to 42-17, questions start being asked.

I get it's 'right' for a 12-1 TCU to make the playoff over 10-2 Alabama... I still think 10-2 Bama wins 8/10 matchups against TCU head-to-head.

There are probably 2 meetings where the Alabama coaching staff are on peyote.

[MichiganCardinal]

Turning into a good game... If they punch this in, bet the house on a QB Draw for the two point conversion.

never mind....

TCU has now done enough.

For #3 or to make it? I think they've done enough for #3.

[MichiganCardinal]

Heading to OT. This is TCU's second OT game this year, beat OK State 43-40 in 2OT back in October.

I think they’ve done enough for #3. 
But an OT loss might give committee wriggle room to move them down to #4 if they want a certain matchup. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Are these announcers even watching the game? I think that's a clear TD.

[buddha]

tcu's luck might have just run out.

[MichiganCardinal]

Wow. I thought he was definitely in on that 3rd and Goal.

[Motor City Sonics]

That 4th down Goal-Line call.................Why not just QB sneak have the RB push the QB over?    Wow,  strange call. 

[MichiganCardinal]

And then there were two undefeated.

[Motor City Sonics]

Sorry, even with the loss there is no way they are putting a 2-loss team over them. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I think a three-point TCU loss, to a top 7 or 8 team, in OT, in a game that Ohio State did not have to play, will keep TCU at #3*

*if keeping them at #3 is convenient for the committee.

[Motor City Sonics]

I can't believe I am saying this because Brian Kelly killed a kid, but Go LSU !     

[lordstanley]

I think that this was the perfect result for avoiding a Michigan-Ohio State rematch. Only way it won’t be Michigan-TCU in semi, IMO, would be if Georgia blows out LSU, Michigan loses to Purdue, and committee wants to reward Georgia with an easier TCU matchup vs having to play Ohio State. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I also maintain that I don't understand how the 3rd and Goal play was not overturned.

[Motor City Sonics]

It will be interesting when they expand to 12

Could be like the out of bounds play for Japan in the World Cup. A straight overhead shot might show him short by a few inches. 

[RandyMarsh]

Unlike most other years under the 4 teams playoff where 3 or more of the teams had a case to be in the championship game this year assuming UGA and UM win there is just them two so this is one of those years where you wish you were back in the old system.

The committee can justify keeping them at 3 for 2 reasons

1 - Their one loss was a close game,  while OSU was beaten badly at home

2 - OSU didn't have to play an extra game and they should not be rewarded for that. 

Yes, correct, there’s no reason OSU should be ahead of TCU.
