  1. It's fucking it up for Texas fans. He is absolutely correct that removing it isn't good for the sport's health. Not to mention it's not a real playoff if it's possible to go undefeated and not be in it. It should be all 9 conference champions with 7 at-large bids. No I don't think the Sun Belt champ would stay within 35 of Ohio State for at least a few seasons. But I also don't care.
  2. Money does drive the odds but it's not the only thing that drives them. Not saying you're saying that but it's a common misconception. Books will absolutely move lines based on other information. And also the converse, that will also refuse to move lines despite imbalances in money coming in. They do not move odds to exactly split the money to guarantee a profit on every line.
  3. Sure it's possible, but what are the chances they fall out and Texas doesn't move in?
  4. So you think both Texas and Alabama (if they lose to Georgia) are out? Maybe if you use an even bigger font that will be true.
  5. Somehow this entire post is bullshit.
  6. Finding out that you are a regular Barstool consumer clears up so many things.
  7. Easiest solution for the committee is just put Texas ahead of Alabama tomorrow based on their shitass performance against Auburn, our double digit win over #3, and Florida kicking FSU's ass. It will obviously not happen but it would be a lot cooler if they did.
  8. 2006 SHSU but only because Arkansas canceled a game I think. Before that it was North Texas in 1992.
  9. Exactly, Verstappen cost himself 9 points by throwing a tantrum. He would be 3 points behind right now with everything in his hands if he had just not been a baby.
  10. Name them For example I believe they were overrated at #3 but we should still get credit for another Top 10 win. Explain in detail how that's incorrect or hypocritical.
  11. This is my favorite message board stupidity. "I think I am wise because I point out the logical disconnect between different posts but in reality I'm too slow to realize that different people having different opinions is not hypocritical." Also known as "My stupid ass thinks everyone else on this message board is one person."
  12. I agree with the ultimatum forcing there to be a problem, but once they made that move and then he said he was leaving, then allowing him to coach the playoffs is not a reasonable decision.
  13. I didn't say it's deserved pride.
  14. Insanity to think Kiffin would devote even most of his time to the Ole Miss game prep.
  15. Because they have pride in themselves as an institution? Letting him coach the playoffs would be the biggest bitch move I would have ever seen.
  16. The world is very different now so we're all just guessing. Alabama was a great destination when being willing to illegally pay players was a game changing benefit for a head coach.
  17. I think it used to be a penalty that the home team would decline.
  18. I don't care either way. But your side of the argument is just silly bravado. Why don't we play an elite opponent for every non-conference game? Because intentionally lowering your chances of winning championships is dumb.
  19. Teams cancel games all the time. It's a story for a day.
  20. Nope. An 11-1 SEC team is getting in every time. Not even a question. Maybe it should be but it's not.
  21. 2024 Alabama had one win against the top 10, not three.
  22. Does anyone on the committee really think OU is better or more deserving than Texas? I would be more confident of beating OU again at a neutral site than I would of beating Vanderbilt.
  23. I mean I don't want us to actually do it but CDC needs to leak to ESPN that he will cancel our upcoming big OOC games if this year shows that is what's best for Texas. If he hasn't already.
  24. I'm not sure that game matters. I think we pass Vanderbilt this week even if they win. I still think (maybe it's only hope) that everyone is underestimating the impact of our win. Based on the CFP rankings everyone is using as a basis, it is the best win in the country this year. I mean we all realize that A&M has one real win all season at Notre Dame and zero wins against the entire top half of their own conference but they were the #3 team in the rankings. We should absolutely jump Vanderbilt regardless. Utah, too. Arguments start at Miami (which we should jump but at least I can understand arguments there).
