It's hard. Do you give weighted value to one 12-1 season vs. our 11-2 season? How does their 2011 with a MWC title compare to our 10-3 year?
Even if you include their MWC season win totals, the 2011 class accounted for a 34-17 record. Ours was 38-14. We went to bowl games every year, they went 4-8 in 2013. We finished ranked 3/4 years, and they were 2/4.
I'd agree that TCU would/should have the slight edge if they would have made the playoff and done some damage, but right or wrong, they didn't. Therefore, you can't really say that the 2011 class had a discernibly better outcome than ours unless we're talking about extremely recent success.
