Yesterday, Booger McFarland said, with a straight face, that TCU shouldn't be penalized for losing the game.

Today I read an AP article that says 'TCU's resume is built mostly on the foundation of the Big12 being a conference with no easy outs.'
TCU played #10 K State twice and #20 Texas. TCU lost at a neutral site.
Bama lost twice in road games on the last play, at top 10 Tn and at top 15 LSU in OT. They also played top 25 Ms State and at #20 Tx, as well as a 2 weeks ago top 20 8-4 Ms.
Oh hey Booger, LSU dropped 9 spots, from #5 to #14, with their loss at TAM.
TCU may have a better record, but Bama may have the better team. There are arguments for both, but TCU shouldn't drop because of a loss and the Big12 is a no easy outs conference don't cut it.
Bama is #15 in total offense and total defense. TCU is #16 in total offense and #74 in total defense.
Meanwhile, the fishwrap has us most likely in a Jan 2 bowl in Tampa vs 8-4 S Car.
