Major college football switched to a four-team playoff this year for the first time ever, but that didn’t get rid of the typical end-of-season controversy fans expect every year. This time, the playoff committee had a tough decision to make for the No. 4 spot. When Baylor (No. 6) and TCU (ranked No. 3 last week) didn't make the cut and got beat out by the OSU Buckeyes (No. 5), the players reacted on social media and you won't believe what they had to say.
Here are some of the “highlights,” which featured plenty of hurt and anger from the two Texas squads.
