A mid-major team with one loss isn't going to make it into the picture under any reasonable scenario.If TCU wins out (I have money saying that they won't), they DO have a beef (although playing the 90th ranked schedule takes away a lot of their ammo). Essentially that leaves you 4 "major" contendors plus one wild-card (TCU).In that scenario TCU shouldn't go over a 1 loss LSU team UNLESS the Tigers lose in the SEC championship game.This year is like every other, when it's all said and done there will not be more than 4-6 teams that should get a legitimate shot at the NC.You have to keep in mind that there are 300+ schools that have Div1A basketball teams, compared to just over 100 in FB. Couple that with the HUGE difference in scholarship players between FB and BB & you have two very different playing fields. While they talk about parity in college football, it's nothing compared to what you find in basketball, especially now that so many players are jumping straight from HS to the NBA.Even with a 16 team FB tournament you aren't going to see the MAC, Conference USA, WAC, Sunbelt or even the Mountain West get automatic bids. A 3-4 loss WAC champ just isn't going to cut it. The major conferences (Big 10, Big 12, SEC, Pac 10 & ACC) are still going to rule the roost, which means that 3rd and possibly 4th place teams from those conferences are going to be playing for it all year in and year out. That isn't going to satisfy anyone.</blockquote>
