I think both teams match up differently then people think. Oregon would match up well vs TCU and I think they would win. HOWEVER I think TCU matches up very well with Ohio State and that TCU would win if those two played.
+Noland Hendar TCU isn't scoring 40 on the buckeyes, ever. when TT runs you ragged you got no defense. those frogs couldn't score 30 on Minnesota ffs, what do you think they could possibly do against the silver bullets?!
TCU WAS BY FAR THE BEST TEAM IN NCAA FOOTBALL THIS YEAR !!! From an Alabama fan, the first Playoff was rigged and political !!! Barry Alvarez n Tom Osbourne told out going Wisconsin coach (Anderson to take a fall) ....Then Lane (pass happy kiffin blew bamas game for an Ohio st. Upset) After 1st year they have got it right every year.
@@foolah based on? See I seem to remember B10 champions making the same comments against TCU. Only difference was in 2010 the QB was Russel Wilson, the RB was Montee Ball and the Defensive captain was JJ Watt. 2010 Wisconsin was the statistically best team in their programs history. They slaughtered the buckeyes by 17 as underdog, and scored 50+ points in 5 games. Then they played TCU. Little MWC TCU. Supposed to be beat by 70 - except they didn’t happen..... Instead TCU beat them straight up in the Rose Bowl, and held them to their lowest points scored all season.... 2014 was the 3rd time in 5 years of TCU getting screwed
Sad thing is at the time of the national championship game, the Vegas odds making computers would have made TCU a favorite over both the participants playing in that game.
Money! The playoff committee was set up by the same people who set up the BCS and therefore has the same SEC bias. Knowing TCU was a very bad matchup for Alabama and having fear of a little Christian school with a small fan base advancing to the championship, TCU was dropped from #3 to out of the playoff picture despite winning their final regular season game 52-3.
TCU should be the favorite to win the CFP's next year. With as many starters as they have coming back they will be stout on offense and defense. Recruiting class wasn't the greatest though, and that's the only knock you can say.
Blagaflaga Don't pay so much attention to recruiting class grades. It's a crapshoot. Look back at the University of Texas recruiting classes from 2006 on. According to that UT should have won a half dozen national championships but so many of the 4 and 5 star recruits don't turn in to anything while 3 star recruits turn into NFL hall of famers.
Blagaflaga They already have a top ten recruiting class for 2016 commitments. The recruiting class this year isn't really relevant because they have so many players coming back.
All the playoff voters breathed a sigh of relief when TCU and Baylor lost a game because there was no way in hell they were going to put either one in the final four.
I went to TCU. Best decision of my life. And my tuition was all paid for by TCU. This is to show you kids that you don't need money to go to college--just good grades.
_ logandaa I want you to honestly prove to me that Ole Miss and their “number one defense” didn’t mean anything and beating a better Offense in TT (compared to Ohio state) means that OSU would’ve beat TCU
+EVERYSECOND U are forgetting aboutnprior seasons when they finished second after beating Wisconsin. U act like TCU is a new program. They win a lot u just are in denial
Nobody can say the Big XII is a weak conference. They let 2 mid-level teams go to the SEC and those 2 teams became top dogs overnight. They STILL have 2 teams in the CFP conversation. Meanwhile... Nebraska makes it to the Big XII championship several times, joins the B1G, and the wheels fall off. Go figure. I'd like to see Louisville join the SEC, kick Vanderbilt to the curb, persuade both Virginia teams to join, force the Big East to scatter to the other power 5, and we'll get that defacto playoff.
This tcu team was better than 2022 and they were snubbed theu probably could have beaten ohio that that year they definitely would have beaten Florida State
Had a bet with my high school coach if tcu didn’t win by 3 touchdowns I’d owe him 10 laps, but if they did he owed me 10 laps! I never got my laps from him...
Because this team (this roster) would get lazy/take things for granted/whatever you want to call it. They would get ahead, then get lazy, and then only try hard again once they ended up lagging behind due to their laziness because they thought they had it in the bag. And they were good, so were always able to pull back up in the end to win--except the Baylor game. And it cost us big time. And then notice how after that Baylor game they no longer took a win for granted and would play their best to the end.
Hard to believe how much hate the BCS got. Despite the fact that they actually got it right in the final year, and just 1 year later, the new committee screws it up on their first go.
they got it right this year.. the playoff worked out and the 4th seed won, someone was gonna get left out, and at the time of the selection, baylor had a better reason to be angry than TCU fans
Jesse Vick He's correct, whether a homer or not, OSU deserved to be in the playoff. They won the national championship and proved that they were, "undisputed national champs."
TCU sitting at number 3 deserved to be in and not drop down to 6. If TCU did not deserve to make it then why put them at number 3 to begin with. Had TCU gotten it it would have been an easy path to victory. Keep in mind ole miss beat alabama.......yeah. Sayuing Ohio state is undisputed champions is like saying Auburn in 2011 were undisputed champions with an undefeated TCU in second. Absolute bias.
yep TCU i think is going to surprise people this year, i think they might win it all, and no im not a TCU fan at all lol. TCU should have been ahead of florida state in the playoff, florida state blew.... barely won like 6 of their games
My favorite football game ever this tcu team should have made the playoffs they got fxx screwed not sure of.they would have beat ohio state seeing after the fact i had them ahead of them they were ranked 4. They would have killed Florida state and i think they wpulf have beat Oregon i think baylor was a top 4 team it shpuld have been Alabama ohio state tcu and Baylor or Oregon tough one. Baylor wpuld have killed florida state topo they were just undefeated but they kept barley winning every game that ywar and also notre dsme that year should have won that game stupid refs called the catch not a catch
It dumbfounds me that people still say TCU deserved to be in over Ohio State, who beat two of the three other teams in the playoff. Yes, TCU was a top 4 team in 2014, but don't say they deserved to be in over the champions that season; if you're going to complain about it, then say they deserved a spot over Bama, FSU, or Oregon.
violenceteacher6669 what dumbfounds me is that people don’t understand how good of a loss TCU’s was. A loss to such a great team by 3 deserves a playoff bid by any means I don’t give a shit who you take out but TCU was the best team that year
Michael Jennings I'd say there's hope for you yet, I'm a TCU student and fan, but I keep telling my friends and family I see a real upswing there in Stillwater, and that I think in the next couple of years they'll become a real contender for the Big 12 prize. Something about that Rudolph guy gives me a good feeling. I think they might shock some people this year by being a strong 3rd to TCU and our uhm "friends" down in Waco, and in a few years, may be contesting the championship. Man I wish the Big 12 had a championship game.
Michael Jennings Nah, Oklahoma state has got a chance against TCU. In fact, OU will probably beat them in Norman, and of course Baylor is stacked on offense and they're defense is THE best in the big12 for 2015 which is surprising lol. OSU can put the pressure on a team with too much hype. They're so overrated its not even funny. Sports analysis have them as the luckiest team in CFB. You're talking about the team who almost lost to kansas lol. Technically they're not as good of a team as last year while the rest of the Big12 has improved a lot this off-season, I see a 9-3 season for them and the same for Oklahoma st.
+JorJor812 I would caution you to wait for the season to start before you decide whose defense will be best. Gary Patterson is always able to put forward a solid defense, despite how many stars he loses on that side of the ball. I don't think they'll lose to Oklahoma (I'm honestly more worried about the Minnesota game). I don't think Baylor will be such a bear (see what I did there?) when they aren't in Waco. And while I voiced my pro Ok State opinion before, I would be surprised if they gave us much trouble this year, and that whole "gives overhyped teams trouble" thing you said didn't stop TCU this last year. But all of this is hard to tell before the season begins.
+RawkFist357 Baylor had no depth last season and two missing starters due to injury...this year they have 4 potential 1st round picks on defense and an actual secondary haha. I think those guys are going to be their secret weapon. Patterson is good with defenses but technically if the defense is not as good this season and you play teams like Baylor or OU they will outscore you guys unless your offense is off the charts and the luck is still there. How can you explain Kansas? I can see Baylor vs Tech being pretty bad but they were up most the game and defense had been bad the whole year for them. If Boykin isn't like last season, it's mediocre for your offense. Everyone's going to be extra prepared for TCU unlike last season.
RebelEdits Wisconsin and Big10 folks laughed and disregarded TCU before TCU beat the Badgers in the Rose Bowl as well. I think if anyone laughs at or disregards TCU in the near future it's a sign they don't have a clue about football.
+mavfan1 it's you that doesn't have a clue. Wisconsin was a sub for an undefeated Ohio state team that year. over tattoos? or because they beat the shit out of an SEC team the previous year? you tell me..
Hate to tell the announcer but Ole Miss wasn't the #1 defense at that time. I'll let y'all look up who was but lets say they are an orange clad team from somewhere in the southeast corner of the map.
Greg Johannsen Disagree, college football is a sport where EVERY game matters unlike college basketball. Slip-up once and you face a clouded future. The playoff system was made for undefeated teams that couldn't get slack from the bcs, if they keep extending the playoff, then no one will watch the season just like college basketball.
+spursfan746 college basketball is a different animal. and March madness is still very much alive. I never watch basketball though... unless I'm in a bracket pool..
+spursfan746 Not true. Put in conference champions from EVERy conference. As it's set up now, only big name conferences can be represented. I think there's a FEAR of smaller conference capabilities. Look at TCU here, or versus Wisconsin. Boise State vs Oklahoma. Or Utah versus Alabama. Why couldn't an undefeated Temple (for example) get into the playoffs. It'd surely be a much bigger revenue raising venture. Then fans from Coast to Coast would watch to see their teams play. It could be HUGE!!
Nonpeon It wouldn't be huge. I remember Georgia played a 12-0 Hawaii team in the Sugar Bowl. Georgia was bullshitting while everyone was dropping like flies during the "Year of the Upsets". That year could've been Georgias year because we fucked up in Columbia and let those shitty ass Volunteers beat us for some damn reason and then we let it loose on Hawaii hanging 40 on them and then finish 2 in the polls behind LSU.
Upon further review, this wasn't that great of a win. Ole Miss lost 3 games before this game which includes a 0-30 drubbing at the hands of a 7-6 Arkansas team. Ole Miss was 51st in total offense and 13th in defense.
Ole Miss is an SEC West team, and most people are in love with SEC West teams. TCU exposed how bad Ole Miss really was on national TV. They just got lucky in most of their games. Go Frogs 🐸👌🏻
These guys should have NO DOUBT been in the College Football Playoffs, but they wouldn't have won. So I think the CFP was success as far as determining the real National Champions, but not in creating the best possible matchups
Angry Eagles Fan Don't know what bearing that has on the fact that the Frogs would have beaten any team in the playoffs. How would YOU take a 12 gauge? LOL!
To the people who think this means they should've been in the playoff: Ole Miss had a makeshift offensive line and injured receivers, which allowed TCU to get pressure and made moving the ball nearly impossible. The lack of possession made the defense play many downs, and a tired defense always plays poorly. Remember what happened when TCU played a team that could pass protect. They gave up 61 points to Baylor. Alabama, Ohio State, and Oregon were all better than TCU. Florida State was worse, but Florida State won its conference. Next time, don't Blow a 21 point lead in 11 minutes and you'll be in the playoffs.
tcu should've taken care of business for not letting baylor off the hook during that year. It's still doesn't change the fact that they flat out dominated ole miss... Remember, nobody expected tcu winning by a huge margin despite being a 4 point favorite.
@Truth Hurts Name some specifics, smart guy. Tell me exactly which part of my comment is wrong. You can't because it wasn't wrong. And Boykin looked bad in this game too. Keep being a salty moron.
"Everytime we play a non-conference game the opposing team tries to prove the SEC is overrated" well we'll put a check mark next to the overrated column and with the Tunsil incident I will be glad to see what violations the NCAA can dig up on Ole Miss because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there were some hundred dollar handshakes going on with most of those recruits. Tunsil's stepdad will get it all out in the light. All he needed to do is crack the door and now that it has happened we're just waiting for the NCAA to kick it in Cops style. You don't go from doormat to top 5 recruiting classes just because Hugh Freeze is a "good guy" and when it comes out I reckon they will say he was a generous guy as well.... wink wink... ; )
Land Sharts.... Can't get enough of watching an overrated SEC team get beat down like they were a middle school team. TCU deserved to play a real opponent not some bottom feeder wannabe SEC Elite team. O well, best of luck next year frogs(Unless you're playing Clemson!)
BS! TCU plays that Minnesota game in November and they lose it. Lord, please let TCU be there this year come selection time. Amen. -The Ohio state buckeyes.
+SGobuck Well we aren't the same team at all now, we lost a lot of key players on defense and were injured all over the offensive side of the ball right now too. You got lucky we didn't play ya'll last year or you would have received a biblical beat down buddy.
SGobuck Do they not teach reading up there in Ohio, you fucking dumbass? I just said we aren't the same team as last year, we don't have a defense now, we had many starters leave for the draft and graduate. You're lucky we didn't meet last year or you would have got your ass whooped (see video for evidence).
Yes TCU was loaded, but who exactly were you going to leave out? Are you really going to leave out an undefeated defending national champions? The other three teams all had to win an additional conference championship game to boost their resume. Really the only team that you could have left out and made a good case for was Ohio State. Still on balance I think the committee got the right 4 in. note: I still don't like the committee. I actually like the idea of bringing back the BCS to decide the top 4.
when the SEC stops cancelling games and using ESecPN money to buy out of those games, writing checks for guaranteed w's vs FCS and Div II schools, trying to crowbar 3 teams into the playoff s with an unproven strength of schedule, then maybe.
That could’ve been the reason TCU didn’t get in because they lost to Baylor and they had to share the title with Baylor because the Big 12 didn’t have a conference championship game at the time, TCU would’ve won on a neutral field and then they would’ve made the playoff
TCU's schedule is so easy compared to other teams! It's the Big 12 for crying out loud. 2013 they were a team that struggled. 2014 they have a lucky win with OU and suddenly they deserve something. 2015 their hardest games are OU and Baylor. You people are in denial if you think the Big 12...you know what this is pointless. It's not a statement win. They beat an SEC team that had been beat up games prior but alright.
Minnesota? Texas Tech? OK ST? Kansas State? Oklahoma? Baylor? Even Kansas! Those games didn't look easy to me. Big 12 is where real football is played. The only good SEC teams are Bama, Clemson and LSU. All 3 are still overrated though lol
TCU should have been in playoff they got screwd same with Baylor both of them would have beaten Florida state and prolly eragon cause of thR one loss to Baylor which TCU should have won they might have beaten ohio st or Alabama that year they got screwd rhe would have destroyed Florida st just like eragon beat them
+PewPewBangBang Nah, FSU should've been left out. I know I'm biased, but Alabama was within a touchdown of beating the national champion who pounded Oregon by 22. I honestly think if FSU were left out it would've been TCU vs Ohio State in the natty. And my what a game that would've been.
And this, this RIGHT HERE, is the reason why TCU is playing Michigan in the playoffs this year. They were cheated out of the playoffs in 2014, mutilated Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl, and now the Playoff Committee is trying to compensate for what happened 8 years ago, which is DUMB DUMD DUMB. TCU lost to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game, so they DON'T DESERVE to be in the playoffs. The team in this video, however, DID deserve to be in the playoffs.
