Of course. It makes way more sense to have it in every game thread, weekly thread or random games around the country thread. Som of a bitch man there’s a reason this is the hottest thread on the board and that’s not because it’s an irrelevant thread that doesn’t need to exist
If we were guaranteed to go 9-3 with a loss at Georgia we want OU and Georgia to win today. It’s more fun to root for them to lose so that’s what I’m doing. Either of them winning is good for us. Root for Vandy to win out- that makes our win better, puts another loss on TN and as already explained they ain’t going ahead of us.
Seriously?
it’s a place to talk about the rest of the year who to root for and what’s going on around the country and how it theoretically affects us instead of doing it on every unrelated thread on the board.
I pulled 65% out of my ass. The computer says 67%. It’s almost like I know what I’m talking about and yet we have morons running around here saying no chance.
Yes. Absolutely 109 times out of 100. We’d be tied in conference, have a head to head win and they’d have a better record because we lost by 1 score at the #1 team in the country. It would take the committee 5 minutes to make that decision
That’s the rub- in that scenario Texas is likely the 5th best SEC team. Do you value a 9-3 Texas with 3 top 10 wins and no bad losses over an 11-2 Georgia tech or 10-2 Miami? My guess is yes but it’s not written in stone. Root hard for NC State. And the CFP claims strength of schedule matters, they want big time non conference games, and they are putting on a TV show and Texas has been the most watched team in college football this season.
Fucking shit man I already did. There are likely to be 5 sec teams in. Texas st 9-3 with a 6-2 sec record would absolutely get in over a 10-2 Vandy or 10-2 OU, both of whom we beat, that we finished tied in the conference with. The extra loss would be at Ohio state. They won’t punish us for that if we end up 9-3 either tied conference records and head to head wins.
you will not be able to make a case for 4 big 10 teams at the end of the day. Might we see 2 from big 13 or ACC? Sure. But it’s no fucking guarantee.
It’s a theoretical thing to talk about as their year goes on so it’s not in every other unrelated thread, not a prediction that we go 9-3 or a guarantee it gets us in. Thus “65%”.
Louisville was shitty. That only applies to them not SMU. I might have fucked up the punctuation on that.
I didn’t say lock. I said like 65 percent chance. People are rubbing their vaginas and saying it cannot happen- which is dumb.
It doesn’t matter. In the scenario I said we would see 5 sec teams in. We’d be 6-2 with wins over Vandy, OU and Aggy.
my guess is it would be:
Bama, Georgia, Aggy, Ole Miss, Texas.
You think a theoretical 10-2 Vandy or OU goes ahead of Texas? Fuck off. (Not personal- just saying).
also there is a very real chance we are like 11 or 13 in the CFP rankings released this week. If Georgia is 3 or 4 we ain’t tumbling down into oblivion if we lose to them.
I’m tired of reading all the herp derp dipshittery. It’s like 65% that a 9-3 texas would be in the playoffs.
3 big 10 teams and that’s it. You will not be able to make an argument for a 4th one.
10-2 Domers are in.
Group of 5 team.
SEC, ACC, Big 12 champs.
thats 8 teams. There are 4 left to get in.
Texas would have 3 wins against teams that are top 10 when they played them (and will all finish ranked). We’d have 3 losses. To the #1 squad at their place by a score, to the #4 team in the country at their house (guessing at Georgia) and to a very talented Florida team.
do you mongloids really think, for example a 10-2 Miami team with losses to shitty ass Louisville and SMU are going over us? And their 12 fans?
root for Georgia tech to lose to Georgia and 1 other ACC game. Root for no big 12 teams to finish with 1 loss while not winning the auto bid. It’s certainly not a guarantee but son of a fucking hitch you simpletons it’s way more likely than not.
all that said/ fuck it let’s go 10-2 and win me $1000 from doc and play for the sec title
Exactly. Want to kill all premier non conference games? Leave Texas out at 9-3 when they lost by 1 score at the #1 team in the country when 10-2 Texas that played Oregon state instead of Ohio state would be comfortably in. It’s dumb. They want big games in non conference games
One score loss at Florida who is an obviously talented team isn’t on par with the worst loss most 2 and 3 loss teams we will be competing with will have.
for example- Florida is up on Georgia right now and absolutely looks like they belong on the same field with them athletically.
the computers gave them like the 25th best team in the country. Anyone who thinks that’s some total embarrassment is a waterhead.
