TCU was so outclassed that the committee is going to screw every small college in the fbs selection for the next ten years. YEARS. TCU WAS SO BAD THEYRE HURTING OTHER COLLEGES. It’s not a disservice. It’s a fact. TCU was shitass lucky to get there and really didn’t deserve to be. It was a bit of a perfect storm, but when you lose by FIFTY EIGHT and it could have been MORE, you just have to slink back in your hole and keep quiet.

It was obvious to anyone with emotional intelligence that he was breaking down because he was mad at himself for making a stupid mistake - not because he was mad at being punished. And that was confirmed when he stated that exact thing in his apology.

If you can't tell the difference between those two things, that's your problem, not mine. And it would also be kind of ironic, since you're criticizing Walker for his emotional immaturity while you're right there with him.

Ohio State at their best can compete with UGA. But that's the difference between UGA and Ohio State. UGA was consistent and showed up enough every week to win. Ohio State wasn't. That's why Ohio State lost to UGA, and that's why UGA is the National Champion and the definitive and unequivocal best team in the country.

And yet (since we're playing with hypotheticals here), if UGA didn't exist and we were under the old format, the National Championship would have been TCU v. Michigan. And TCU won. Meaning TCU would have been National Champions.

Yeah, UGA annihilated TCU. But dismissing TCU is a real disservice and ignores the reality of the season. All season we said UGA was on another plane from the rest of college football, and then they went and played their best game of the season last night. Using that against TCU just sounds like sour fucking grapes from fans of teams that weren't playing last night.

I’m only responding to OP saying they were clearly the “best”.

That’s either a meaningless statement because the winner every year can be the “clearly the best” since they won. Yeah they’re the best. But if they won by 1 point after trailing by 20+ points in the 4q and assisted by a huge choke job they’d be the best too.

Or he’s saying the big margin of victory yesterday meant they “clearly the best” compared with other champions who won by a slimmer margin. Which ignores how they almost lost last Saturday.
