Caveat - I do not think we should be left out, but I think that the committee tipped their hand last week by putting TCU 3rd over FSU.  

Had FSU lost - we'd be in.  I think Jeff Long will say the committee just didn't feel like they could drop TCU 2 spots in one week after such a "convincing" win. 

Jeff Long is against us. He knows the only team capable of beating Alabama is tOSU.  Every week he goes out of his way to bring up VT or how we needed 2OTs to get past Penn State.  

The stated criteria the committee is supposed to examine - Championships, quality of competition, context (like injuries, weather), and of course strength of schedule vs. top 25 teams (when we played them) are applied to everyone BUT tOSU.  

Hopefully, I am wrong. 

Regardless - this is one of the most satisfying seasons ever for tOSU, playoff or not. In my 40 years I don't think I've ever seen tOSU play as complete a game against a quality opponent like last night. GO BUCKS!
