  1. And those big 12 teams were a combined 12-15 in Big 12 play. Auburn and MSU had 1 win a piece in the SEC.
  2. I don't see it. Maybe they would have been tripped up in one game. But two teams that managed one win a piece in the SEC took down mid-tier big 12 teams in ASU and Baylor.
  3. Well... this hasn't started fun.

  5. Yes, it is. You're just being a contrarian idiot. 10-2 Texas with victories over #7, # 8, and # 14 is getting into the playoffs over 10-2 Notre Dame with literally no notable victories, 10-2 Miami (only win against Notre Dame), and/or 10-2 OU (Head-to-head loss, and a non-functioning offense). You not being sure of that just means you drank too much cool-aid in fish camp.
  6. I'm sorry, are you actually suggesting 10-2 Texas with a victory over UTSA instead of a loss to Ohio State is somehow left out this year? That's absurd. Texas would have replaced either Notre Dame or OU and it wouldn't have been much of a discussion. Your aggy is showing. You should get that checked out.
  7. It wouldn't have swung that wildly. Texas would still have had the greater chance of winning.
  8. I was pretty dang satisfied beating OU and A&M in back-to-back years.
  9. First, fuck the SEC. I actually liked the old Big 12 before initial realignment. There were a lot of historic rivalries there (e.g., Texas with pretty everyone, OU Nebraska/OSU). It was a fun conference. But.. Second, all our major rivals are now in the SEC, so that's where it makes sense for us to be. We certainly don't fit into whatever the current Big 12 is.
  10. eh, I'm really just trying to come up with a reason to be invested this weekend. I know it will not happen. But at least it is a reasonably plausible scenario based upon the committee's stated criteria and past behavior. I also think Notre Dame's path to staying in is about as narrow as ours to get in.
  11. So, as our last remaining shot (as slight as it is), it seems like we need to root for blowouts in the major championships. Ohio State blows out Indiana to make our close loss look even better. Indiana drops somewhere in the 5-8 range. Tech crushes BYU again. BYU drops behind us and Miami. That puts Miami and Notre Dame next to each other in the rankings, and then the committee flips them based upon the head-to-head. Georgia destroys Alabama in a game that is never really competitive. Alabama drops behind Miami and Notre Dame. That puts us, Alabama, and Notre Dame all together. Play against common opponents is a stated criterion of the committee. Alabama lost to OU (and Georgia in this scenario). Notre Dame lost to A&M. We beat both of those teams by double digits. The committee could use that to justify us jumping both of them. That would put Miami at 9, Texas at 10, Notre Dame/Alabama at 11 and 12. What happens in the ACC doesn't really matter. Maybe I guess Duke winning it could adversely affect Miami. Reality is we are out. But if you want to see a path, that appears to be it to me.
  12. The committee has shown to be susceptible to pressure before to change its mind. I still think they are trying to justify getting Miami in based on certain pressure and are setting it up so that ND and Miami are next to each other in the final rankings once BYU drops. They'll then flip them based upon the head to head.
  13. Strange thing is I actually we could be setup pretty well for next year. But we really need better teaching on blocking scheme and technique, and better coordination with the line.
  14. We didn't have great personnel for it this year and didn't execute well. But it worked really well against A&M.
