I'm still not buying the explanation. The plane of the goal line has always been explained to be infinite so if he crossed the plane with his body in bounds then it's impossible for the ball to be "out of bounds".
I have to go for Baylor. There are so many unlikeable teams that I'd prefer Baylor get a playoff spot over a number of the others. In most years I'd be pulling for TCU. Kind of like most years I'd be pulling for Oklahoma not to make the championship. But since they're on our schedule, I'm for them making the playoffs. And since TCU is out of the picture and Baylor still has a chance to sneak in, I'll pull for Baylor. Beats teams like Ohio State and Alabama.
