An Interesting Yahoo Sports Observation/Best Chances

This question is about the College Football Playoff. It operates on the assumption TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State all go undefeated the rest of the way outside of the games mentioned.

In this scenario, TCU is 8-1 in the conference along with Oklahoma State. Oklahoma, thanks to its loss to Iowa State, is 7-2. The Sooners are No. 3 in the conference with TCU winning a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Cowboys for the regular-season title.

And here’s where the newfound Big 12 title game comes in to play. After tying for the regular-season title, the teams would meet again in the conference championship with TCU as the top seed.

The winner would have a pretty good shot at the playoff in this scenario by being a one-loss conference champion. The disaster scenario for the Big 12 is if a two-loss team makes the Big 12 title game and ends up winning it.

Also in this scenario (#BeatKU) with TCU/OU and OU/OSU playing each other at the end of the season means the rematch will be just weeks after they played each other. It is hard to beat a team twice and probably harder if you have to play them weeks apart.

I just say we sue the CFP Committee along with the NCAA if we are a one loss Big12 champ and get left out again. That is what everyone else in society is doing these days if they don't like the outcome of something so why can't we do the same?

This is not really a disaster, in that scenario the conference legitimately should sit the playoffs out.

The real disaster would be when unbeaten, undisputed 9-0 TCU loses the title game in double overtime or some other dramatic fashion to a 8-1 osu, and both sit out, just as in 2014.
