[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3018374, member: 7831"] I'm glad that you hope that I'm right, but otherwise, your response is bizarre. TCU would, in fact, have qualified for the proposed 12-team CFP format 8 times in the last 25 years. This is not "irrelevant" or "false." There have been numerous articles and analyses showing what would have happened and they all agree on this; your assertions to the contrary notwithstanding. You may be confused by the fact that TCU might not have been a Top 6 champ - this is irrelevant because the number of power conferences has decreased (from 6 to 5). In the years I mentioned, TCU, as the highest rated champ of a non-BCS/non-AQ conference, would have qualified. You bemoan the possibility of the Big 12 not getting multiple teams in the proposed 12-team system. In the BCS era, the Big 12 got 5 teams in the BCS Championship game out of [B]18[/B] years. And in the CFP era, the Big 12 got 4 teams (all OU) in a 4-team system in 7 years. That's a grand total of 9 Big 12 participants in 25 years. In the proposed system, for the next 25 years, that would be [B]at least[/B] 25 teams, which is inarguably a much better number. The Big 12 champ, which could be TCU, will [B]always[/B] get a shot to settle it on the field in the proposed system. You were earlier arguing that the SEC would get richer - yes it will, but not by as much as the per school payout for the Big 12 schools. Big 12 schools will, yet again, inarguably, get more. Only if the distribution formula is changed will that be inaccurate. Most observers believe that football outcomes depend upon blocking, tackling, running, passing and scoring points - you seem to believe that resources, recruiting and popularity are more important. You're right about that as it applied to the BCS system and the current 4-team playoff system - but under the proposed system, things will be (more) decided [I]on the field. [/I]TCU (and teams like TCU) would now actually have a chance to change the pecking order by winning a NC by scoring more points than the other team. [/QUOTE]
