I think they were caught looking ahead last week and now they don't see a point.
-
I tried finding a picture of the other angle on Twitter without success... I'm sure videos will be uploaded later. I thought it looked clear that he was lying on top of bodies when he started extending the ball.
-
This is just one of the angles. Another showed he was lying on top of a pile as he extended the ball. It's plausible that if they match up those camera angles to tell when the ball comes out that it would stand as called... I thought he was definitely in though.

I could be wrong, but I really don't see a scenario where Michigan and Ohio State rematch in the semifinal game. In eight years, there has never been a semifinal rematch. There has never been a two-loss playoff team. I don't think either of those will change if they can help it. It's also worth noting that Warde Manual is on the CFP Committee, and while he is "recused" from ranking Michigan, he's not recused from ranking Ohio State or TCU... I think he will pound the table to avoid an immediate rematch. The Kansas State AD is also on the committee, and while "recused" from ranking Kansas State, he probably won't have an issue joining that side of the argument for TCU to stay at #3.

LSU is dumb, dumb, dumb... Also Brian Kelly killed a kid.
-
I also maintain that I don't understand how the 3rd and Goal play was not overturned.
-
I think a three-point TCU loss, to a top 7 or 8 team, in OT, in a game that Ohio State did not have to play, will keep TCU at #3* *if keeping them at #3 is convenient for the committee.
-
And then there were two undefeated.
-
Wow. I thought he was definitely in on that 3rd and Goal.
-
Are these announcers even watching the game? I think that's a clear TD.
-
Heading to OT. This is TCU's second OT game this year, beat OK State 43-40 in 2OT back in October.
-
For #3 or to make it? I think they've done enough for #3.
-
Turning into a good game... If they punch this in, bet the house on a QB Draw for the two point conversion. never mind....
-
I get it's 'right' for a 12-1 TCU to make the playoff over 10-2 Alabama... I still think 10-2 Bama wins 8/10 matchups against TCU head-to-head.
-
TCU bailed out by the black box that is football rules.
-
The group that searches the nation for 19-22 year olds who can throw a football five yards with the worst possible form.
-
I really think even if they don't they'll stay at #3 if it keeps these matchups true.
-
They're still 12-0, if they're the opponent Michigan still can't in looking ahead... But yeah, I think they would pose a much nicer landing pad than Georgia did last year.
-
14-10 Kansas State leads at the half. TCU is lucky it's only 4... TCU has lived off of the 4th quarter comeback, so I'm sure they're pretty confident with where they're at.
-
If they get another shot, I want it to be for the National Championship. They'll likely get some players back for the semifinal, and I don't want them to have back-to-back games against Michigan having heard nothing for 5 weeks but how they got their asses kicked.
-
No, but they do sometimes stop playing offense.
-
I think a TCU loss lets the committee play with the seeding. If Michigan lands at #2, you can leave 12-1 TCU at #3 above 11-1 OSU under the justification that their loss came to a top ten team in an extra game at a neutral field, while Ohio State's came by 22 at home... or if Michigan lands at #1, you can put TCU at #4 and say that you think Ohio State's resume is better. I don't think we will have a semifinal rematch unless their hand is forced. TCU win, UM win, and Georgia loss might do it if they don't have the courage to drop Georgia to #4 below Ohio State.
-
A TCU loss probably helps if you don't want a UM/OSU semifinal rematch. The Committee would be able to put OSU and TCU at 3 or 4 interchangeably with justification and they'd probably avoid the instant rematch no matter where Michigan and Georgia land.
-
Give me TCU -1, Purdue +16.5 (Michigan ML), and LSU +17.5 (Georgia ML).
-
There has never been a rematch in a CFP Semifinal game. If there has to be a rematch, I'd much prefer it for the championship. Even a close TCU loss (to a top ten team on a neutral field in a 13th game) might keep them above OSU (and their loss by 22 to the #2 team at home).
