Alabama's best argument isn't at the expense of TCU, but of OSU.  Alabama hasn't had a chance vs UGA, UM, or TCU.  OSU has.  You can obviously argue that Bama didn't earn that chance (failed to win the SEC West), but in terms of rematch avoidance, they should make that a big deal.  

Honestly though, if TCU stays 3rd, then what is the point in even playing the games anymore??  Just buy a game like Whoa Nellie and play out the season that way.  No torn knees or concussion protocals, just dice rolls and bitchin'.

why don't we just come out of the dark and admit it's not about being fair or deserving.......

it's about fan's interest, TV ratings, and $$$
What and leave Nebraska off the hook?

We'll do it as soon as the Heisman corrects it's description of being given to the "most outstanding player." lol

I would feel more confident facing TCU than OSU but that may be helmet speaking.
doubtful. Ohio State just has the better more talented skill players and linemen than TCU. Especially if JSN is healthy enough to play in a month. CJ Stroud, Marvin Harrison, JSN, and Paris Jackson are all 1st round NFL locks. Then they have other guys on that offense that will be 2nd-4th rd picks. TCU just does not have that many future NFL draft picks on their offense. 

I think Georgia beats either team comfortably. But Ohio State may be able to make it a game, especially if JSN is healthy enough to play in a month. LSU put up 500+ passing yards on LSU. CJ Stroud is A LOOOOOOT better than Jayden Daniels (he sucks) and Garrett Nussmeier (a frosh backup). Marv + JSN are A LOOOOOT better than LSU's WRs. Ohio State's upperclass tackle duo of Paris Jackson Jr and Dawand Jones are A LOOOOT better than LSU's true frosh duo. Jackson about to be a top 10 pick in the upcoming draft and Jones ain't lasting past the 2nd rd.

You're right but they had a chance against 4 loss LSU and Tennessee as favorite's and were gifted one in Austin and and dodged a bullet @ home vs the aggies

Maybe "we" might agree that while LSU is not elite, they are pretty decent...

... just a thought, though hyperbole is more fascinating I suppose.

Could you quote my posts where I said LSU was anything better than above Purdue?  That'd be a big help, thanks.
