The resumes have been dissected and it has been determined that Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State are the teams that deserved to be in the College Football Playoffs.
What that means is the odd-man out ended up being the Baylor Bears, who finished at No. 5 in the rankings. Needless to say, fans on Twitter were not pleased about being left out of the College Football Playoffs
Committee takes easy way out, avoids the Baylor/TCU decision, goes with the biggest program. New boss, same as the old boss.

TV rules everything. No way was TCU or Baylor going to be picked over Ohio State.

And just to add insult to injury for Baylor, it DID finish ahead of TCU.

The Baylor Bears didn’t have a bad season, but they still didn’t do enough to make it into the College Football Playoffs. It’s a tough break, but maybe this will be motivation for the Big 12 to have a Conference Championship Game to make sure a Baylor Bears getting snubbed situation like this doesn’t happen again.
