TCU coach Gary Patterson didn’t have to think about it long.
If Oklahoma beats Texas for the Big 12 championship next Saturday at AT&T Stadium, OU deserves to be in the College Football Playoff.
The Sooners would be 11-1 with their only loss being a 48-45 shootout against the Longhorns in October. That, in Patterson’s mind, is a better resume than other one-loss contenders such as Ohio State.
Patterson has faced Ohio State and Oklahoma this season. TCU fell to Ohio State, 40-28, in Week 3, and were rolled by Oklahoma 52-27 last month.
