Nate Silver about to get Shown Up

The real outcome of all of this is the expansion of the playoff to 8 teams. That takes all the pressure off of the Big 12 to have to expand, and it also takes the pressure off consolidating down to the P-4 from the P-5. On the bright side, it also brings the MWC and AAC back into the mix.

I'm not as confident that this will happen soon, but I wouldn't be against it.

29 straight wins, current Heisman holder, only undefeated. There would be rioting. Alabama, Oregon, and Fla St are in. I would give 4th spot to Ohio State. Big 12 needs a championship game.

Why give the go to Ohio State the Big 10 is not a strong conference now, when was the last time they won a game against the SEC or Pac12.

To kill Big 12 expansion BS, understand this: Big 12 isn't out because of a championship game..they are out bc of weak OOC, TCU losing to BU and BU losing to WVU. If TCU or BU were undefeated this would be a moot point. That said...OSU makes the playoff and Big 12 schools get left out.

I do not recall TCU or Baylor beating the PAC 12 or SEC either. People say TCU is deserving because they want the best team now and they are playing in top form. I could make the exact same argument for OSU in that they beat a ranked team by 59 points with their 3rd team QB and shut the team out. TCU won by around 50 over a 2-10 team.

exactly; when Texas and OU are down, it just signals a down year for the Big XII

Big 12 gets left out because of their greed (Only 10 teams so everyone makes more $ = no championship game), and arrogance (One True Champion - dumbest slogan ever when Bowlsby doesn't have the guts to declare Baylor the champ based on the head to head win).

Ohio State also has the toughest strength of schedule of OSU/TCU/BAylor.

Buckeyes in, deservedly so.

The poll on the DMN site favors Ohio St for the 4th spot. That's telling.

Luckily, the committee has a conversation, not a vote. That means TCU and Baylor won't split votes and they will have a conversation about why the Big 12 gets in over the Big 10. If you look at the poll above, the Big 12 wins on aggregate.

Poor nate silver. Like galloway said, idk how tcu drops from 3to6 after winning 55-0.

As we are all fans of a small school, it's worrisome that the small schools got screwed.

I just cannot stand these particular small schools.

Very happy at the outcome.
