  1. There's no way to really know the answer for why, but I disagree that the comparison of losses is what put Oregon ahead of us initially. Much more likely IMO it's because before the first CFP rankings, we were one week removed from barely beating UH, while Oregon had just crushed a 13th ranked at the time Utah.
  2. It's also interesting, at least to me, that of the seven (or eight) remaining contenders, we are the only team who has not previously appeared in the CFP.
  3. Yes, it’s basically due to rankings inertia where Oregon won in dominant fashion for a few weeks while we escaped with wins and that essentially set the pecking order going forward. Oregon didn’t give them any reason to question their initial relative ranking of them and Texas so it hasn’t changed. With a game against Washington it’s hard to see that changing after this week. Not impossible, but unlikely IMO.
  4. For what it’s worth, Texas is closer in points to Oregon at 5, than to Bama at 8.

  5. Yes they have guidelines, but it’s not like they return a grading rubric after they are done. They send out their top 25 and give generic and contradictory answers to Rece Davis each week about why they ranked certain teams where. In the end they will rank the teams how they see fit, including the posted guidelines, but it’s really just a black box of whatever reasoning they want to justify how they view the teams.
  6. Now feels like without a Louisville win next week we are on the outside looking in. How fucking annoying to beat Bama, (maybe) get to 12-1, and not make it.
  7. Fuck you Florida you worthless fucks
  8. Of course the QB slide leads to targeting
  9. Even with a stop I have no confidence in UF driving for even a FG
  10. Yeah I just don’t feel like this is gonna happen. And if not, our hopes may be down to counting on Louisville.
  11. Not the start to the half I wanted to see
  12. That WR wearing his Apple Watch?
  13. That’s 2 points
  14. Herbie seems a bit too happy for Bama
  15. That flag against FSU was terrible. That’s a shame
  16. Damn thought he was gonna cough it up
  17. Hooray they cleaned the camera
  18. Someone wipe the god damn camera with a towel
  19. If you can guarantee me a win, sure give me OU. But you can’t, so give me the best chance to win the Big 12, and zero chance for OU to do so
  20. Yeah my stress level is already increasing with the possibility of another matchup with OU. We’re more than capable of winning and should be favored but the downside would also be that much more devastating.
  21. Because they beat us and we beat KSU.
  22. Oklahoma State is pitiful. Are you kidding me
  23. We got four through LHF, but still don’t know the section or the price. We are the home team though. Considering we have no choice on which you get, the price range for ticket orders was laughable: $99-$350.
  24. Rice beats Mensa and FAU to get bowl eligible
