[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3018591, member: 7831"] Indeed. Wexahu's argument - that a team that finished 2nd in the Final AP Poll following the 2010 season and 3rd in the Final AP Poll following the 2014 season - would have a very very slim chance of finishing #1 had they been given a chance to prove it on the field, is ludicrous. And our argument - that in both the BCS era and the CFP era, TCU was never given a chance to play for a national championship, is provable by demonstrable fact and actual history. Here's how it would have turned out in the proposed system: 2000 - TCU would have been the 12th seed and would have played Virginia Tech in the opening round. 2005 - TCU would have been seeded 12th and would have played Ohio State in the first round. 2008 - TCU would have been the 11th seed and would have opened up at Alabama. 2009 - TCU would have been the 4th seed and would have gotten a bye in the first round and then played the winner between Florida and LSU. 2010 - TCU would have been been the 3rd seed, gotten a bye and would have faced the winner of Ohio State v. LSU. 2011 - TCU would have been the 12th seed and would have opened up at Bama. 2014 - TCU would have been the 6th seed and hosted KState in the first round and would then have played Florida State if we won. 2015 - TCU would have been the 11th seed and opened up at Stanford. Because we were never given a chance, it's entirely speculative as to how we would have done, but I like our chances in 2010 and 2014, and the 2008-2009 teams were also pretty formidable. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
