   TCU is in the Big 12, so that would have brought the wrath down on Texas. But   
   Texas clearly was in based on their win over Alabama. Second, although TCU got   
   totally blown out    
   in the finals last year, they had to win a semifinal game to get there.

   We didn't any playoff last year to tell us that Georgia was #1.  But that's   
   not how it works.  And again, how are you going to prevent blowouts in the   
   finals?  TCU earned its spot there by winning the semifinal against the Big   
   Ten champion.
