say the won on a last-second FG, then got blown out in the CCG, there might be some people to agree with you. As it is, the game was a blowout, and even with a loss, like McIrish said, the committee just isn't likely to punish TT for losing to a team in an extra game they already pounded earlier.

I agree with you more on principal, but not reality. If CCG can benefit teams, why can't they also be a detriment if you lose. Conferences don't have to schedule them, they want the cash, but now they want the protection of it not counting against them. In reality, this "unwritten rule" is mostly to protect the SEC and B10, so I guess there is a possibility that TT gets dropped out. But with 5 teams between them and BYU not playing, I still don't think there is any realistic way they get dropped out short of getting blown out and lose their QB for the season. One of the post poll analysis videos I watched Tuesday night mentioned that only because it had happened earlier this year.
