[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3215171, member: 12852"] My handy-dandy ESPN app just gave me an alert that Heather Dinich and Finebaum had opinions about who was on upset alert this week. She's every bit as annoying as Finebaum, but she picked Michigan. Mr. SEC, however, picked us. His rationale? Even though Baylor is a flawed team TCU doesn't match up well against any of the top 10 on a neutral site and this one isn't a neutral site; it's on the road in Waco. I can make arguments for myself about how TCU could lose this game, but this one doesn't hold water for me. First, Baylor isn't a top 10 team so that comment is pointless. But Baylor is hardly a juggernaut at home this year either. Hell, if you want to project the match-up versus how Baylor has performed at home and how TCU has performed on the road I think the edge would have to go to TCU. That Finebaum is oblivious to the fact that Baylor got bent over at home last week by EMAW and, out of 3 conference homes games this season, so far they've lost 2 of them says all you need to know about the clown. He watches only a couple high profile SEC games each week and pretends to know what is happening in the rest of the country. Of all the ESPN talking heads he's the worst (maybe tied with Gilmore). Is it too much to ask that they put informed people on TV? To help him out I'll offer the historic rivalry and that we only are a few wins ahead in the all time series; the need to see our defense put multiple performances like that together before we can be big believers; the need to see more from our offense as its output has declined each week for about a month; the fact that Baylor finishes with us and Texas so if they want to finish above .500 they have to win one of those 2 and the home game should seem most likely... This is lazy rubbish and surprisingly bad even for Finebaum. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
