[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129411703, member: 1428007"] For the trolls among us: excerpt: With four playoff spots and five power conferences, at least one is going to be left out each year. Last year the Big 12 was that conference: Baylor ranked fifth and T.C.U. sixth in the final ranking. T.C.U. went on to beat Mississippi, 42-3, in the Peach Bowl, while Baylor lost the Cotton Bowl to Michigan State by a point. T.C.U. finished the season 12-1 with just a 3-point loss at Baylor. Its average margin of victory was 27 points. But there was no route to the national championship for the Horned Frogs. After the season, Jeff Sagarin’s venerable computer rankings rated T.C.U. [URL='http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/2014/team/']the second best team in the country[/URL] behind national champion Ohio State, and his “predictor” ranking, which emphasizes point differential, rated it No. 1. Photo [IMG]http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/11/12/sports/12BIG12web2/12BIG12web2-articleLarge.jpg[/IMG] No. 8 Oklahoma State is 9-0 after defeating previously unbeaten T.C.U., 49-29, on Saturday. Credit Brett Deering/Getty Images The Big 12 could face a similar situation this year, even if one of the current top four falters. Iowa would probably grab Ohio State’s place with a Big Ten championship, and Stanford could jump in the mix by winning the Pac-12. Yet there is no consensus that the Big 12 is the weakest of the power conferences. Indeed, Sagarin rates it as the [URL='http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/']best conference in the country[/URL] and has three Big 12 members in his top six. The league is full of offensive powerhouses; Baylor is averaging 57 points a game. Oklahoma State’s victory over unbeaten T.C.U. was extremely impressive. Oklahoma has blown out team after team.
