Horned Frogs loss in Big 12 Championship Game left doubt
The College Football Playoff Committee has spoken and we will see Ohio State vs. Georgia in the Peach Bowl and TCU vs. Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl. The top four was announced during Sunday’s live selection show and may have seemed obvious to some, but TCU lost in overtime to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game to add a little bit of doubt to the selection process.
With a big brand like the Alabama Crimson Tide lurking, leaving the Horned Frogs out for the sake of the almighty dollar was on the table, but TCU’s resume was too strong and Alabama’s loss to LSU left Nick Saban’s team at home.

Even though the Buckeyes were soundly beaten in Columbus during the regular season finale against Michigan, they are one of the teams that has the best chance to beat Georgia, as reflected by the game line and also the futures market. The Bulldogs certainly look pretty unbeatable, but Ohio State is one of maybe two or three teams that has the athletes to beat Georgia. Whether or not they can is another story.
