Yeah, but strength of schedule still has to count for something. Sure, Baylor beat TCU, but that's not the end all, be all. TCU's only loss of the season came to a likely 11-1 top 6 Baylor. Baylor's lone loss of the season came to a 7-5 West Virginia, who was in the middle of a 3 game losing streak to end the year before they struggled out a 13 point win over a terrible Iowa State team. Baylor and TCU had similar non-conference schedules, the only difference is in TCU's favor as TCU played a top 25 8-win Minnesota, whereas Baylor played a 5-win Buffalo.

Yeah, head to head is important, but if you completely ignore the entire work of the season just because of head to head, then you likewise diminish the whole point of stronger non-conference schedules and entire seasons of work. Apparently the committee also has no problem jerking teams around all over the place in that case. If you jump a team two spots from #5 up to #3 (seemingly a quite safe ranking, much safer than #4, and that team the next week does their job and ass rapes their opponent, only to get flipped off and shoved back down 2+ spots because one game earlier in the season "wasn't being considered yet", then that's just as big of a fucking joke than anything the BCS ever produced.

If Baylor is such a great choice for the committee, then they would have damn well had them higher than 6 or 7 every ranking. I call bullshit if the only reason they have held Baylor so low every week is simply because they haven't played Kansas State yet for the past 3-4 weeks. Other than a 6-win Oklahoma State and a 4-win Texas Tech, Baylor hasn't played a "top" Big 12 team since Oklahoma four weeks ago. Kansas State was their only "top" Big 12 game left on the schedule. Baylor has shown who they are and if they were worthy of the top 4, especially compared to TCU, then the committee would have moved them up weeks ago instead of waiting an entire month just so Baylor could play Kansas State first.

If TCU, after doing what they were supposed to do, destroy the fuck out of Iowa State, is punished and dumped out of the top 4 simply because Baylor beat them back in the beginning of October (especially after the Big 12 has already declared they will be considered co-champions as far as the committee is concerned), then this entire college football playoff is already tarnished and a bigger joke than the BCS ever was before the first playoff games could even be played.
