10 thoughts from Week 13 of the 2022 college football season

TEN THOUGHTS 

1. TCU punches its ticket: The outcome of the Big 12 title game might not matter for TCU’s College Football Playoff hopes following an advantageous week of results to close out the regular season. The most important was the Horned Frogs’ beatdown of Iowa State in Fort Worth. Losses by Ohio State, Clemson, and LSU means TCU could already be guaranteed a spot in the Final Four. Georgia is in, and so is Michigan. USC is also in play. But would a two-loss SEC team like Alabama or a one-loss Ohio State team that didn’t even win its division pass up a one-loss TCU if the Horned Frogs lose a close one to Kansas State? The good news for Sonny Dykes and company is that a win over the Wildcats makes the whole debate moot.
