Crazy thing to me is if Bama had shitty OOC schedule like Mich, Oregon, Washington or Georgia they would probably be the #2 team in the country behind Georgia and they would both be absolute locks for the playoffs win or lose.
Thats where im leaning. If Noles are going to get jumped tomorrow is the day it will start. Nobody wants to see the Noles in the playoffs. Especially ESPN when so many blue bloods just waiting to pounce
Ya. A system where the Sun Belt Champ gets in over UGA/Bama loser. Ohio St Wash/Oregon loser etc sounds real cool . Then lets randomly seed Uga vs UT in the first round and UNLV vs SMU in the first round. Compelling TV.
Who has a list of the committee members and allegiances?
Im sure it has 1 or 2 that just absolutely hate UT and wont budge on letting them in top 4 if other similar options are available.
Honestly surprised yall think unbeaten Noles are a lock. They dropped last week. Wont be surprised if they drop again even if its just below Oregon. If so it doesnt matter if they win or lose Sat. They are toast.

I don’t watch the CFB selection show but at any point have they mentioned UT is still winning games with its backup QB playing the last 2.5 games?
If that happened to some of these other contenders not sure they could say the same.
Mich probably the only exception.
I’m confused on why it’s assumed we jump a 1 loss Oregon. The committee for whatever reason have them above us now. Adding a win over Oregon St and Washington is better than B12 championship game.
How could they justify us jumping them at any point the rest of the way if they haven’t already?
Below are the top 10 most watched games involving B12 teams this year. No Surprise what the conf is losing after this year. Surprising is OU only here once and WVU twice but that will change in coming weeks.

Texas lost as a 4 point Favorite on a neutral field against its biggest rival.
They will be heavily favored the rest of the year and lose 1 at the absolute most and that’s because it’s CFB and strange things happen.
Keep that receipt and let’s compare notes at the end of the year.
