THE College Football Playoff Rankings Thread [MICH,WASH,TEX,ALA]
Maybe so, but from where I’m sitting Big Ten has (3) legit top 10 teams (Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State), SEC’s got (5) in the top 15, and the PAC 12 (4) in the top 20 with some pretty good teams just above .500 in what has been a deeper than expected conference. The Big XII has (1) top 10 team (Texas), the #12 Sooners and #20 Ok. State. Not sure how that qualifies Big XII as #2 conference. Personally. I think it’s been a down year for the Big XII, an up year for the PAC 12, and as-expected years from the Big Ten & SEC. Below is Sagarin’s conference rankings:

Too many people here are underestimating the possibility of Ohio State remaining ahead of UT in the rankings no matter what happens. It’s certainly possible UT leapfrogs OSU with a win, but it is definitely not a certainty. The 2023 version of The Big XII isn’t doing us any favors in terms of conference strength and while ranked, a win over Ok. State isn’t worth that much nationally (really needed that OU win). Yes, Bama on the road is a feather in the cap, but it was early and college football has always had a decency bias. Would’ve helped if UT had won more Big XII games more convincingly. My gut is we needed (2), not (1) undefeated ahead of us in the rankings to get into the CFP.

So Louisville beats Florida State, Washington beats Oregon, Georgia beats Bama….. still seems iffy for Horns to get into CFP with a 1-loss Ohio State, a close road loss to a better team than Texas’ one loss to OU at a neutral site. Texas road win at Bama better than any OSU wins for sure, but OSU does have wins over ND and Penn State. CFP Committee supposedly doesn’t award much credence for conference championships, but just selects what they believe to be the (4) best teams.

Game Week 10: Texas at TCU
Boarding an overseas flight circa 5:15pm. Won’t have any clue what happened in this game til’ I reach the other side of the pond. #Hookem

Texas vs k-state - 11am on Fox
It’s amazing how many times this team has looked to be on the way to absolute domination, an absolute blowout, only to take their feet COMPLETELY off the gas and let inferior competition have a pulse. Figure that out, and we can start talking playoffs

Well they’re certainly in a long line, and needing a lot of teams in front of us to fall out of line (which can, and does happen), but they’re certainly not in control of their own destiny

Glad they won. Performance won’t do shit for their playoff prospects though. Guess we hope Iowa State keeps winning to make that game look better nationally and then, of course, find a way to catch and beat OU in the Big XII championship. Lots of questions for this team though

Would be surprised if they go for it

The play that worked for a 4th down TD earlier just did what it often does
-
Texas vs k-state - 11am on Fox
Now it’s about 1st downs because K-State’s going to use their 3 timeouts. Field position is not on our side.
-
Texas vs k-state - 11am on Fox
Let the clock run, keep your timeouts
-
Texas vs k-state - 11am on Fox
Gonna have to think about using timeouts soon here because K-State is OK with just running the clock and kicking the FG

I call it like I see it. If you can’t handle that, or pull your fan head out of your ass and analyze what your eyes are seeing, that’s your problem. No need for the insults

I wasn’t talking about this board. I expect that. I was talking about the players and coaching staff

Horns bitching about the refs…….not a good look…..

And you HAVE to kick the FG here…….damn…..

Texas offense: Big play or punt/turnover on downs, thus Sark’s dilemma…..
