Good God. You may be the most self loathing TCU fan in existence.It's funny, we base almost our entire case over Baylor in 2014 by virtue of their poor OOC and us having beat Minnesota, and our entire case over OSU by virtue of their loss in OOC to Virginia Tech.....and NOW since our "good" OOC opponent is crapping the bed and some other teams have good OOC wins, OOC games are "way overvalued".
You want consistency in how rules are applied, but it seems like what you really want to want is for the rules to tilt in our favor on a year-by-year basis, however those rules best serve us.

Most of us believe that TCU should have been ranked ahead of Baylor because, well, we just played better than them all year. We had greater MOV, an equal offense, but a decidedly better defense. We had nine common opponents that year. Comparatively we were better. The OOC was irrelevant to most of us given that we had NINE common opponents to use to form an opinion.
What about them? You're the tOSU expert.What about Ohio State?
That would have been really dumb of us to think that Arkansas was going to be a Top 10 team since they've been that about once in the last 30 years, and it wasn't Ohio State who chose to turn that into a 1-game series, but to your point, you're right, you don't know to some degree. It's a little bit out of your control in that sense. But you pretty much know Jackson State is going to stink. You have a pretty good idea Ohio State is going to be pretty good and you have a pretty good idea Arkansas is going to be a middle-to-lower middle of the pack SEC team like they always have been. To suggest competitive scheduling is total guesswork is dumb.
I don't think anyone else thinks OOC games shouldn't be considered in CFP talks, I think you're out on an island on that one. In fact, it's essential unless we want the month of September in college football to be a snoozefest.
The media loves the 4 team playoff for the reasons he stated. I would like an 8-team playoff, but he isn't wrong that the stakes would be reduced. For P5 teams, the only thing that would matter is winning your conference. You would probably have 3-loss teams in the field.
The CPS and the BCS before it have diminished the conference championships and the bowl game experience. Instead of fans arguing over the AP and Coaches Poll results we have a handful of shills beholden to their espn overlords. Tasked with selecting the four "best" teams by a nebulous criteria that is more simply expressed with $$$$. If there is one thing I am thankful for it is that I can watch the Horned Frogs every game on my television. The vast sums of money paid by the networks for broadcast rights is a double-edged sword. The networks have paid the money and so they can do whatever suits them with their programing to raise the revenue to pay colleges millions each year.

Max Kelleman is quickly becoming the worst "sports" commentator of his generation. Some of the worst takes I've ever heard.
Am I supposed to know who this guy is?

"Something no TCU fan will say in 2018 if the Frogs beat Ohio State" for $100, Alex.

What does Stugotz think about it? He's the only guy at ESPN that I trust to give well reasoned and informed sports opinions.
And that's the straight talk presented by straight talk wireless.
