Listening to some of the talk shows there is discussion that even if with a TCU loss they may still be in the playoffs. It is crazy that by the fact they have one less loss than Alabama and Tennessee they get in over ether of them.
The big 12 best out of conference win is probably Mizzou. The only other P5 win against a bowl team is Iowa st over iowa. TCU did beat the 1-11 Colorado team and 7-5 SMU team.
What is crazy the b10 only win against a P5 level bowl team is osu over ND.
By contrast, the SEC has 6 wins against P5 bowl teams, including wins against Utah, Oregon, and Clemson. They also have wins over Louisville and cincy which are better than any b12 win.
The strength of the SEC most years will get you in the playoffs if you have the same record- but most years a conference champion and/or 1 less loss means you are getting picked over a SEC team.
