TCU is pretty irrelevant.
Two top 10 wins (or #8 and #12ish, whatever) and a conference championship is just far better than anything Miss State or the Big 12 can offer.SOS is rated as more difficult than both OSU and Baylor. Their only loss is a 3 point game at #7 Baylor. I think they're pretty relevant.
They hold wins against three Top 25 teams - #12 Kansas State, #18 Minnesota, and #20 Oklahoma.
Ohio State holds wins over two Top 25 teams - #10 Michigan State and #18 Minnesota. OSU should get a chance against #14, which would definitely draw things closer. They'll have slightly better wins against the Top 25, but a much worse loss than TCU's to Baylor. It's close between the two.
TCU is pretty irrelevant.
? Kansas State beats Baylor then TCU is sole conference champs and their win against Kansas State suddenly looks better than any win we have. But ok.
