As season evolves, views change
— -- It's time to re-evaluate.
As the season progresses and teams change, so does the perception of wins and losses.
Wins that once looked impressive now do nothing for a team's playoff résumé, and losses that were once acceptable are now a dagger in playoff hopes. Here's an updated look at how certain games have changed some résumés:
Wins That Look Better
• UCLA 62, Arizona State 27: A Thursday night road win against what is now a top-10 team stands out as one of the season-defining games in the Pac-12 South race. The Sun Devils' recent victory over Notre Dame made it look even better for the Bruins.
• Baylor 61, TCU 58: The Bears beat what could be a top-four team, a critical win in what will be a down-to-the-wire Big 12 race and the most controversial debate in the inaugural playoff. The win kept Baylor in the CFP race and ultimately gave it control of its destiny in the Big 12.
• Marshall 63, Southern Miss 17: This is the closest way to gauge how undefeated Marshall stacks up against the big boys, because both Mississippi State and Alabama also played the Golden Eagles and got similar results. Marshall had to win with style, and in spite of a slow start, it did.
• TCU 30, Minnesota 7: This is the one nonconference game that separates TCU from Baylor. Minnesota is currently in a tie with Nebraska for first place in the Big Ten's West Division, a far better team than many thought on Sept. 13.
• Baylor 28, Texas 7: The Oct. 4 road win against Texas was merely another task crossed off the list, but after Texas just upended West Virginia and has won three of its past four, the Longhorns have gained respect. TCU still has to play at Texas on a Thursday night. Can the Frogs duplicate Baylor's success?
