  1. But why are they where they are now? We’ve debated the whole poll (except the top 3) ND/Miami, Bama/OU, Texas at 9-3, the soft ACC but not Oregon. Why are the Ducks getting a free pass? I think the committee should have to justify all 12 spots every week.
  2. 1st time listener, long time caller. Everyone rags on Texas Tech’s schedule - the OOC is weak for sure However, they do have 3 CFP team wins and the lone loss is to a team that is ranked as well Sitting at #5, Tech is getting love and barring a catastrophic meltdown in WV they are safely in so let’s move on to the bubble teams. And more specifically, Oregon Can someone explain Oregon’s ranking? Why are they not a bubble team? A case could be made that OU, ND, Bama, Utah, BYU, and Miami all have a better resume No, you say, all those other teams have 2 losses (except BYU) Ok, you see where I’m going with this, BYU has the win over #12 Utah and a loss to #5 Tech Make the case for Oregon. They have the loss to #2 Indy and what else???
  3. Just curious, but doesn’t a higher ranked Aggy team help Texas? Y’all are hanging your hats on getting a bump from beating them, no?
  4. Gameday @ Pitt Gonna do some transitive property cross-thread pollinating regarding Texas Tech’s OOC schedule. Kent St and Arky Pine Bluff are indeed two magnificent cupcakes. Oregon St is having a down year but considering when schedules are made that’s not exactly a trip to the bakery. Today, Tech will be playing its 8th Big12 conference game - not gonna argue 8 games in Big12 vs 8 games in the SEC but SEC does only play 8 games. Tech’s last game of the season will be a trip to Morgantown in 2 weeks to face WV Now let’s bring this back to today and gameday @ Pitt. The Panthers are still in the mix and are fighting for a possible ACC title. The same Pitt Panthers that lost to West Virginia - the last team on Texas Tech’s schedule. I’m not saying this to prop Tech up as having run a gauntlet - they haven’t. But I am saying it’s a decent enough schedule to shield them from the “they’ve played no one” jeers. That ALL nine of their wins have been by 20 points is what really stands out most to me.
  5. When BYU couldn’t do anything today but trip over there own dicks it was because they suck at football When LSU does the same thing it’s because Alabama is well, Alabama
  6. So based on this metric then, the Big12 should be the league with 3 bids and the BIG only 1 But I’m sure that’s not what you are saying
  7. You know, I’d almost rather see 5 SEC bids than the annual coronation of the Irish
  8. Just flip ‘em. If Tech had played Texas’ schedule and vise versa what would the two teams records be? I think Tech could’ve equaled what Texas has done and I think Texas could’ve gone 9-0 with Tech’s (Tech should have done so too) but for arguments sake let’s say an injury led to Texas dropping the ASU game Having said that, NO ONE would be politicking that a 9-3 Tech would deserve a bid And NO ONE would be saying an 11-1 Texas team wasn’t a lock win or lose the CCG And that’s the rub. We can argue strength this and schedule that but at the end of the day the helmet logos still matter - a lot And I think 4 bids vs 2 bids makes that statement and acknowledges that tradition. But 5 bids to 1 bid just seems like overkill. It’s not like there’s zero recent history of the BIG12 doing damage in the playoffs with their 1 bid - hello Michigan
  9. Yeah, I’m not talking about teams with 2 reg season losses prior to the CCG I’m talking about the CCG loss being the 2nd loss BYU and Tech are the only two that can finish 11-1 If Tech loses on Sat, they’re done. It’ll be their 2nd conf loss and in a multiple 2 loss team tie-breaker scenarios, they come up short
  10. BYU is currently undefeated They and Tech could both finish 11-1 This thread is claiming the loser of their rematch is not worthy of the CFP
  11. Yep that’s what everyone likes to tell themselves. And it’s why the early season polls are bullshit because they are 100% based on what people think would happen in imaginary games not actual results - see 0-2 top10 Notre Dame
  12. Yes, I know. It’s bullshit! Can’t take a single 2 loss Big12 team but we can take multiple 2 loss teams from BIG and SEC Tech, Utah, and BYU are all good enough to equal the results of all those 2 loss SEC teams But we are told they aren’t good enough to prove it on the field (in the CFP)
  13. 5 SEC teams is only ridiculous when in conjunction with only 1 team Big12 - especially if there are multiple 11 win teams I don’t like making these discussions about Tech as I want there to be equity across the board. But in this case, I am gonna use the Tech example. Tech is 8-1 with all 8 wins by more than 20 points. The lone loss was on the road with an injury plagued team. And it’s being said that if they lose the conference championship game, they’re out. That’s bullshit.
  14. And that’s why we can’tbhave nice things
