[QUOTE="JogginFrog, post: 3205414, member: 4994"] I'm hopeful that the committee will show respect for resume over "eye test" early. That will show up, as the article points out, in how TCU is ranked compared to Clemson, which has played a much softer schedule in compiling its 8-0 record. (That applies to Michigan, too, but I can't take my expectations that far.) The other thing that doesn't show up anywhere in this article, but that I wish the committee would consider, is how difficult it is to win on the road. I don't expect the Frogs to get extra credit for beating Colorado and SMU, but there are exactly 6 D1 teams (4 in Power 5 conferences) that have won 3 road games without a loss. None of them are Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan or Alabama. [/QUOTE]
