The selection committee chose to exclude both TCU and Baylor, who were co-champions of the Big 12 that year. Instead, they selected Ohio State, the champion of the Big Ten. This decision was somewhat vindicated when Ohio State went on to win the national championship, becoming one of only two No. 4 seeds to achieve this. However, the snub left TCU and Baylor questioning the fairness of the process, especially since the Big 12 did not host a championship game at that…
