Coming into this season many people probably thought that
the college football playoff would rend the naming of the jasathletics College
Football National Champion obsolete. Although the lead writer at jasathletics
was hopeful, even he had concerns that the jasathletics title would lose
importance. Well, after one year, the results are in and, perhaps surprisingly,
the jasathletics title is more relevant than ever after TCU and Baylor were
left standing at the college football playoff altar.
The good news for TCU is that jasathletics values commitment
and therefore would like to, not only propose, but also name Texas Christian as
its 2014-2015 College Football National Champion. There is no doubt that Ohio
State finished the season strong, but it is impossible to overlook the utter
dismantling that Mississippi, from the heralded SEC, suffered at the hands of
TCU. Not only that, jasathletics likes to look at a team’s body of work. What
really stood out was each team’s one loss. Ohio State lost by 14 at home to a
very mediocre Virginia Tech team, whereas TCU lost on the road by only 3 to a
strong Baylor team. For more evidence, we can look at the one common opponent
Ohio State and TCU had, which was a Minnesota team that is on the rise. Ohio
State only beat Minnesota by 7, whereas TCU beat Minnesota by 23. At the end of
the day, jasathletics couldn’t let TCU be denied twice in one season. Ohio
State fans need not worry though because, with Ohio State bringing back many
guys next season, I suspect that Urban Meyer just might catch the college
football bouquet for next season.
