I don't think a 3 pt win at home should be the end all be all when comparing the two....
That said, I guess I'm one of the few who believes Baylor's season has been more impressive than TCU's so far.

The problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other peoples' money.
I get it that Baylor fans are sore about this, but virtually everyone in the country sees TCU as the better team. Having said that, Baylor may pass them if they win out.
And you're just wrong about the OOC schedule. Baylors is embarrassing. Minnesota may not be top 10 but they are a good team that gave OSU all they wanted.

I'll be the first to agree that BU's OOC was not good whatsoever, but saying that Minnesota is a quality opponent is a definite reach IMO.
BU beat TCU in the head-to-head, TCU barely survived Morgantown. TCU barely survived Lawerence, Kansas while BU beat Kansas by 50 but lost in Morgantown. Baylor also beat the living crap out of OU on the road. I'm not saying TCU isn't good or don't deserve to be in the top 10 or anything, but I think it's ridiculous to say that their resume is better than BU's.
Minn played within a TD I'd OSU.
You can claim it's ridiculous all you want but you are the one swimming upstream. There's not a single poll that places Baylor ahead of TCU. I'll say again, virtually everyone in the country outside of Waco echos this.
And again, if Baylor had a strong showing against KSU, their body of work would probably warrant being ahead of TCU. But as we sit here now, it's just not.

I bet Baylor Coach Briles is hoping for a Texas upset of TCU next week.
Thank you PPHSfan and Keith7!
As a biased Baylor fan I think TCU looked better earlier, but Baylor's offense has started to really click the last couple games. The defense has been decent all year. Even in the TCU game they didnt do that bad. TCU scored on special teams and defense a few times. If the offense keeps clicking then Baylor will keep winning impressively and probably pass TCU, but they will need to win all their games to pass them. As a Baylor fan, I am more concerned with how we will pass 2 other teams to end up in the top 4. I still think with 3 Baylor games left it is too early to get to worked up about it.
what exactly has been impressive about TCU's schedule or margin of victory?
TCU has had a bunch of squeakers and a 3 pt loss on the road vs Baylor. Their best wins are barely getting by OU and beating up on an okay Minnesota team.
Baylor meanwhile, has had a bunch of blowout wins and baylor's best win is the 3 pt win in the head to head against a 'top 4' team. They got beat by 14 by a team TCU beat by 1 pt.
I'm one of the few people who doesn't get the whole 'TCU's resume is much more impressive' thing
Maybe someone can explain it to me
Removing the head to head, TCU has had a slightly tougher schedule with the difference being Minnesota. I wouldn't qualify that as a huge difference.
The performance in the similar games clearly is to baylor's advantage. Then factor in Baylor won the head to head....
