TCU Claims its Second jasathletics Title

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.
