What happens if TCU loses tomorrow?

[Husker_in_OK]

They’ve come from behind multiple times this year so I wouldn’t really count them out yet

I really hope you're right. I found it interesting that Vegas moved the line to -1.

I would rather OSU and Bama get the last spots, so there is a chance the lower seeds could actually win.

The semifinal playoff games would be more competitive, that is for sure. I don't think TCU is good enough to compete with the elite teams this year, but I am so sick of Bama, I'd be willing to sacrifice having to watch a bad TCU Michigan matchup if it meant keeping Alabama out

It’s probably better for the BIG if TCU wins. Michigan for sure will play TCU and Ohio State will get Georgia. If Bama sneaks in you will see a OSU-Michigan rematch.

OSU/UM national championship rematch would be insane

You know TCU secondary is bad when Warner beats you deep. Their offense was out of sync after the first couple drives. Just need to get some rhythm and they should score 40 in the 2nd half.

I switched my pick to K State last second for my office league. TCU has been a GREAT second half team though. During the regular season matchup between these teams, K State led by 11 at half and ended up losing by 10. Now they lead by 4 and ... ???

Looks like his hand is going forward to me

It was. The play by play guys are so unbelievably bad. Any time they say the call will stand you can bet it will be overturned, and vice versa.

Why does it matter when it was never released?

But the ball hadn't been released.

That one was pretty obvious I thought

Guess it doesn't matter.

It was a clear fumble.

Any forward movement starts the forward pass. Doesn’t matter when possession is lost after that.

If that’s the rule it’s the right call then. They should definitely change it if there is no release. It reminds me of the tuck rule.

TCU player thought he was gonna start boxing

There are a number of rules that are different when the quarterback is handling the ball and I guess this is one of them. The pass starts when the ball starts moving forward so whether his hand is still on the ball or not is apparently irrelevant.

I’m not sure how you could reliably determine whether the ball is released vs forced out, so I like the bright line rule better
