TCU coach Sonny Dykes said he was concerned about the Frogs’ playoff status, but that he had faith in the committee.
He is right, but the top four didn’t fall gently into place on championship weekend.
The Frogs headed to the clubhouse having beaten every team they have played, with plenty of close calls and comebacks, but no conference championship. There is no previous case to support Alabama making the playoff under these circumstances, but this system has only been around for nine years. Don’t get too hung up on previous results predicting future performance by the committee.“I am no expert but no one can convince me that @AlabamaFTBL isn’t better than these teams I have been watching despite 2 heartbreaking L’s. if rule is BEST 4 for playoffs BAMA should be in,” ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale tweeted.
TCU’s resume is built mostly on the foundation of the Big 12 being a conference with no easy outs. Oddly, the Frogs’ best victory got better Saturday when they lost a rematch to Kansas State, which was already in the committee’s top 10. Saban is right. Put the Tide and Frogs on a neutral field and, yes, Alabama is favored by at least a touchdown.The recruiting rankings also give Alabama an edge The Tide has the second-most talented roster in college football behind Georgia if you count up the stars. TCU’s is 32nd.“How are they playing at present?” Saban to ESPN, citing the Tide’s 3-0 finish to the season with a healthy quarterback Bryce Young.
