Any of you who doubted this committee was and is a total farce, simply look at the piles of manure coming out of Jeff Long's mouth now compared to what he said before:
1)
December 2
“We evaluate these teams, we watch the games, we watch the films,†committee chairman and Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long told ESPN. “We believe TCU’s a better football team at this point in time.â€Â
(Keep in mind that Baylor beat TCU head-to-head awhile back.
Now look:
2)
December 7
He also said head-to-head was the deciding factor between Baylor and TCU. The Bears beat the Frogs, 61-58, earlier this season.
So five days ago, head-to-head did NOT prevent TCU from taking a BIGGER lead on Baylor. But NOW.....five days later....it's the DECIDING FACTOR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
And if he wants to mouth the "whole body of work," tell me how:
a) Baylor's barely scraping by K-State is better than TCU blowing the Wildcats out
b) he himself said the following about Ohio State:
1) Long pretty much dismissed the crummy Ohio State home loss to 6-6 Virginia Tech, saying the Buckeyes overcame it.
2) "With the championship game, Ohio St demonstrated they were a total team. ...It was decisive for Ohio State to move" into No. 4,"
Okay, someone help me with THIS insanity. First, I'm told it's the whole body of work. THEN, I'm told head-to-head matters when it didn't five days earlier. And THEN, I'm told ONE GAME by Ohio State undoes ONE OTHER GAME by Ohio State.
Smh...
