Sure the TCU's and Boise's of the world may win a few games in a playoff, but they couldn't handle the consistent punishment of teams that are their equals or better.
Uh let's see TCU has been to the BCS two years in a row. This past time they beat Wisconsin out at the Rose Bowl. I think you would find far more people who acknowledge TCU's relevance than people who refuse to enter the 21st century way of thinking about college footballYou got a link that says they could?
Didn't think so.
Until then you'll just have to be pissed that nobody gives a shit.

Hey dipshit, please quote where I mention anything about Ohio State or them deserving anything. We are discussing TCU and Wisconsin, know? Try to keep up with the conversation.DTM04;679944 wrote:Ah yes, because Ohio State's 70th ranked strength of schedule was so significantly better than TCU's 76th ranked strength of schedule. OSU was 2-1 vs. top 30 opponents, while TCU was 3-0. But of course, Ohio State was certainly deserving of a bid to the title game if they went undefeated, but once you get outside of the top 70, that's where you draw the line and TCU certainly was not deserving due to your impressive logic.
DTM04;680061 wrote:Ah yes, you're right Karen. In a 4 week span, the Buckeyes ran the gauntlet in the Big Ten:
vs. Indiana (1-7 Big Ten)
at Wisconsin (7-1 Big Ten)
vs. Purdue (2-6 Big Ten)
at Minnesota (2-6 Big Ten)
I know Wisconsin was an extremely tough game for the Buckeyes, but considering the brutal slugfest they had against Indiana at home the week before (a 38-10 win), it's amazing they were even able to make it up to Madison. You could tell how much Indiana took out of them when they came out flat in the first half against the Badgers.
Luckily Ohio State was able to survive the next two weeks to avoid a losing streak despite the challenges that they faced from Purdue (losers to Toledo at home) and Minnesota (losers to South Dakota and Northern Illinois at home).

DTM04;680411 wrote:I'm being sarcastic too, don't you worry. TCU already beat Wisconsin once, and all you Big Ten homers can't ever just respect the fact that maybe, just maybe, there are schools outside of the "traditional" powers that are just as talented and capable of winning as any other team. And Ohio State has been referenced many times in this thread, so maybe you should go back and read the whole thing.
dwccrew;680548 wrote: My point is this, yes TCU was one of the best teams in college football last season, but let's see them do it on a consistent basis year in and year out in a conference in which they are playing their equals. If they can do that, then they will earn respect, until then they can have a backseat to the major college programs.

jordo212000;680708 wrote:I am guessing he brought up Ohio State because we all know for a fact that not one of you guys would be railing against their schedule if they went undefeated. Obviously you'd feel that if they are undefeated, they would be deserving of a National Championship. The point he is trying to make, is that TCU's SOS was only slightly worse than Ohio State's. Yet we are killing them for playing a weak schedule.

They expect to waltz into the NC game and take a huge payday, they're not in the position nor have they ever been, to decline an invite to play a top 25 school. You can clamor all you want about having beaten a top school a couple times over the last decade, the fact of the mater is, that the quality of athlete that goes to MWC schools is inferior to those of powerhouse conferences, the draft numbers prove that out. Therefore, it's safe to assume, that without the depth of the traditionals, they'd be knicked up enough to compete at lower than they have levels. I really fail to see what's so difficult to understand about that.
