Dawgs proved they were the much better team. TCU proved they were not ready to play that night. But, if as you say ... they "proved that TCU did not belong in the Top 4 of the college football playoffs" ... then, you will also be admitting that Michigan did not belong in the Top 4, either ... because TCU beat them in the semi-final game. And, that Michigan team beat Ohio State convincingly. I watched that game ... Ohio State wasn't bamboozled by trick plays ... Michigan simply outplayed them. But, I give Ohio State credit for giving it everything they had in a heart-breaking semi-final loss to Georgia.
Yep ... TCU didn't show up and got whooped by an awesome Georgia football team. It happens. Everyone knew beforehand that TCU would have to play a flawless game in order to have any shot against Georgia ... and if they didn't, it was gonna be a blowout.
In truth, this year, I expect Georgia would win the championship game 9 times out of 10 no matter who they played - TCU, Michigan, Ohio State, and even Alabama. I don't believe the lopsided score against TCU is indicative of much at all.
