There was uncertainty for Sonny Dykes’ TCU team. The fate of their College Football Playoff chances was left to the committee after a loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 title game Sunday.
That made the celebration all the more sweet.
Here are are some of the reactions on social media from the team, outlets and other notable area critics:
They counted us out. They counted wrong.

TCU in the CFP? The Big 12 sucks, and I played in the Big 12.

I know what the resumes are, but the middle class of the SEC would win the Big 12.
Nick Saban’s argument really breaks down when compared to TCU. TCU had just one loss and it was also on the last play. And to a top-10 team it had already beaten

TCU is heading to the College Football Playoff in Sonny Dykes' first season. Not something I thought I would've said a year ago, but a reward for an incredible season.

Michiganders getting their New Year’s Eve plans back
Defending champion Georgia got a BRUTAL draw. Dawgs NO DOUBT wanted TCU. They got stuck with the most talented team in the country, Ohio State.
