TCU and OSU were previously trading home games. Now 2018 is no longer considered a home game for TCU, so TCU probably doesn't feel obligated to go to Columbus in 2019.
I think of it this way -- there are two ways of ranking teams:
1) Based on how good we think teams are (ignores flukiness the best we can)
2) Based purely on actual performance
Lets say OSU beats Iowa 9 of of 10 times that game is played. The Iowa game has minimal impact on #1 and a huge impact...
My perception of how good we are was downgraded after the Iowa game and thus I think it should be viewed as less impressive for Wisconsin to beat us. To me, our change in ranking appropriately quantifies the change in value (Wisconsin gets credit for beat the #9 team instead of the #5 team or...
The outcome of the games help everyone decide how good a team really is. You think it's dumb that a win could have less value because the team we beat ended up losing again?
Ironically, teams 4-6 would be sorted out to be one team in today's conference alignment anyway, making 1973 probably the clearest case for 4 teams in the history of college football.
They're talking about what the purpose is of having a playoff system in general, not what the team goals are given the current structure.
The theory is that the post season should ONLY exist to best identify the #1 team. The logic, right or wrong, is to balance casting as wide of a net as you...

Before Saturday, OSU was a 9 point favorite against PSU. One game is not going to move the line much, especially when it's confirming a team is good, rather than exposing a team as bad.
I've heard Jake and others point out time and time again that the lines are just trying to get money even on...
