First, there are six teams who could be named for the playoffs without anyone outside the two left out complaining. Second, I get the TCU over Baylor argument. TCU has a better body of work and a more challenging schedule over the season. Baylor played all mid major cream puffs in their non conference schedule. Baylor only beat TCU by three in overtime at home.
TCU got screwed by the Big 12 not having a conference championship game. Conference championship games add a difficult game to a team's end of season schedule. It's not their fault their last game was against a weak team. How much more can they do than win by 52 points.
Florida State isn't going any further. If they struggle against Oregon in the first half the way they've played this year, they will get blown out. Oregon will beat Alabama in the championship game.
Imagine the argument with four ticked off program if the BCS was still the procedure for a championship. I still say expand to eight with the five major conference champions and three wild cards. Then the argument against teams getting left out is, "you should have won your conference."
