[QUOTE="Froggish, post: 3018313, member: 71860"] Your G5 references are irrelevant as it isn’t the competitive landscape we are currently in and it also uses the false assumptions that the ranking outcomes used pre 2012 are the same way teams are ranked today. They are most certainly not. In many of those years we could have been the highest ranked G5 and not be a top 6 conference winner. You are correct in that the conference will share a lot more money but the presumption that the B12 will get more than 1 team in the playoff any more than 30% of the time feels unrealistic to me. I would wager without any hesitation that the B12 has a less than 10% chance of ever getting 3 teams in. Money will pour into college football at every level because of this playoff. It’s relative in that if everyone is getting richer your differentiation doesn’t exist any differently than it does today. I think at the end of the day where most people disagree with me is that I see CFB outcomes as largely driven by Recruiting, Money/Resources, and Popularity and by those standards I don’t see how TCUs relation to the rest of the sport will be much if any different than today. Is the playoff going to make us wealthier? Heck yes and that’s good for TCU the school but my argument is strictly regarding football and from that perspective it doesn’t change where we are in the pecking order of the sport. Having said all that…I’d like to think you’re right. I’m just not there. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
