Same. My wife made me an office and tv watching room with 4 55 inch TV’s to watch at the same time. I don’t know that I will watch the first round other than to root against aggy.

Sure they will. But why would we?

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

ESPN paid 9 billion for this and also it’s supposed to be entertainment, so… no what the committee should be tasked with doing is making sure they screw up maximal enjoyment of college football both for this years playoffs while also fucking up fun September games longterm. It was aces dude! -

And 65% likely. I had us as #5 of 5 sec teams in the playoffs. I thought OU getting to 10-2 is what knocked us out. That would have made me correct. But it wasn’t. They literally decided that all that mattered was counting losses so I was wrong. This whole thing was a probabilistic thread and as it turned out we were always never going beyond counting regular season losses regardless of what they said. -

I also thought it would be a good idea to write about my family living on the road out of an RV during Covid! -

They won their conference so that doesn’t count. Wasn’t what he was saying. -

What’s even funnier is I literally made 5X on Kalshi betting elections/current events over the last 12 months and it wasn’t bc of what he said. -

Here’s the dirty little secret- we still might not have been in if it was 16! They could have flopped Vandy and Utah ahead of us bc of the loss column and called it a day. -

Welp, I was about as wrong as possible with us behind BYU. Most seemed to think that bama or OU losing would have gotten us in (that was general consensus for most in media I think going into last week- but that didn’t fucking matter). Nope. Zero nuance. Zero attempt to make games people want to see. Zero care about TV ratings. Zero care about protecting OOC scheduling games. The committee (after seeing some green shoots in 2023 where they ignored the loss column with Florida state and did the right thing) has basically doubled down on the only thing that matters is counting losses in the loss column, regardless of schedule or who you played and NOTHING else is important beyond avoiding losses (CCG losses don’t count as data points for reasons). we know this conclusively now, they have picked the absolute dumbest timeline that is the worst for the sport, and if we keep any loseable game in non conference we absolutely positively deserve what we get and should be sodomized by a rusty spiked dildo. it’s the dumbest possible decision that likely costs the most money, the playoffs will be watched by friends and family in the first round and none of that makes sense to me (or the predictor stuff or the gambling markets from the time this was posted) but we have absolute clarity that it wasn’t a 65% chance it was more like a 5% chance and that was only going to hit if EVERYONE ended up with 3 losses. huh. Ok then. Congrats on killing September football of not tomorrow than 5 years down the line when the schedules play out. -

I will make the case for Domers being in having watched a lot of football this year with at least 3 games from all relevant teams: they are one of the best 10 teams in college football. So are we so that’s not the decider but that would be my argument. Resume wise? Yeah- they don’t belong. -
The most money comes from playing in the playoffs man and staying relevant. We aren’t making any more money (in a real sense) hosting OSU v Oregon state. Or Michigan v Purdue. Either way the TV money has been paid and all the seats are sold. The resale and local economy will take a hit but Texas doesn’t care about that at all.

I mean- we are behind BYU according to Heather. There is no point beyond W/L record and title games don’t count in W/L apparently. If it was a concerted effort to destroy any semblance of interest and fun in September how would it look different?
-
They have buy in front of us dude. The auto bids themselves didn’t even do us in there is no nuance and it’s ALL counting the loss column apparently. If we don’t cancel every OOC team with a pulse we are regards and deserve to get left out every year due to abject stupidity. I don’t care if we lose a home game with a top 5 team. I don’t care if we go to 16 games. Look at the 2027 schedule and tell me why you should play Michigan with a 3rd year returning 5 star QB in early September while breaking in a brand new QB if the requirement is simply “have as few losses as possible”.

That’s what the ESPN mole said so that’s what it will be.
