So you would put your money down on TCU if they played Bama? I don’t think there is one person out there who would. Bama may have lost that game- but they are still better than TCU.
If you they take the top 4 best teams- they should be in. Bama would beat TCU with ease- and probably would also take out OSU and UM.
They won’t though as they move the goal posts all the time for their rating the “4 best teams.”
