[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 3018383, member: 3528"] It's not BS at all, we have two decades of data to show for it. Despite ending the regular season undefeated twice and 1-loss twice (to say nothing of how the 2-loss teams of '08, '11, & '15 may have gotten bids), at the end of [I]every single regular season[/I] of the Gary Patterson tenure, TCU has had a 0.0% chance of winning a national title. Not "really difficult", not "if they get hot and get some bracket luck". ZERO. They weren't eligible. In 3 of those 4 seasons it was even worse, as they were almost entirely eliminated before the regular season even started simply because they were members of a non-AQ conference. Saying "winning three or four games in a row against elite level teams is really, really hard for a team like TCU" is a fair enough point, but we can absolutely say that it's not as impossible as "winning a national title when you aren't even allowed to play for one".
