Dude, you can break down the backup QB all you want. He's a backup QB in his first game. It was a rivalry game. They won. Who cares.

I hope he shits down his leg and throws more picks than completions.

I think it's more the idea the motivation to beat an Ohio State, Michigan, USC, etc. in non-conf brings a team together in the offseason more than "ho hum, ULM, UTSA and UTEP" 

That hasn't been the case for UO, UM, UW, or UGA this year & I don't think it's going to make a shit most years. Walk onto the field and beat a cream puff by 30 and stay healthy for conference play. You give yourself 2 "whoops" conference games a year, maybe 3 depending on how the year works out. If they're going to punish teams for losing tough OOC games but not reward them accordingly for winning them, then there's no reason to schedule them anymore. Making the playoffs is all that's going to matter going forward & it won't take long for the marquee OOC games to fall by the wayside.

Yes, me too. I was simply making a point that we've seen a team win it all with a backup QB. Dude jumped down my throat over the verbiage i used to say he played well enough to get them the win.

I would think Michigan before Ohio State due to H2H

It would be Georgia.  BIG10 is out.  Mich loses to a billion point underdog.  Ga is 1 loss team from highest rated conference and 2x defending champ.

[Frank Drebin 5663]

The fact that OU played no one in nonconference and we played Bama, meant they spent all summer and fall practice preparing for Texas.  And Texas spent all that time preparing for Bama.  It mattered in that game.

there is a huge difference between "he won a rivalry game" and "he settled in" - come on.

they won, they got super lucky basically across the board and now play a much better team.

 

good luck.

the backup QBs who have won it all historically - and how many of them have there been really and truly - all were significantly better than Tat Rodemaker

My concern is that the committee has filled in their brackets in with a Sharpie.

Georgia, Michigan, PAC Champion, and SEC Champion. 
 

Georgia has wins over Number 9 Mizzou and Number 11 Ole Miss. Pretty good resume. Plenty of precedent for SEC runner up/second best team to make the CFP. 
 

Bama would have the best win of the year if they beat Georgia, and they’d be the Sec Champs. 

In the committee’s opinion, Michigan has the best current win over Ohio State. I don’t think they’ll lose to Iowa, but I also think it might not matter except for seeding. 
 

I think the committee is praying for Michigan to win, Louisville to win, and especially praying for Georgia to beat Bama to avoid some difficult explanations. 

Nah,

if Bama beats UGA then UT will have the best win to that point in the season, or possibly UW if Oregon wins and stays ahead of Bama.  Because Bama will be ranked higher than UGA, and rightly so.  

End of season rankings are far, far more accurate than anything else, otherwise you would have to give App St credit for beating #6 Aggie last year who was actually a 5-7 team.  
 

Similarly, if Bama loses it’s disingenuous to proclaim we beat the #3 team in the country after all the games have been played.   Right now our best win is against #8, subject to change based upon this weekends results.  
 

TLDR, pre-season rankings are stupid, the more data the more accurate the rankings.

God I would love to play Michigan if they, based on those lines, were -5 against Texas.  I would bet the farm on that one.

None of those teams scare me.

Someone edit this to show me how Texas makes the playoff without Oregon with an Oregon win in the P12CCG. 

Not sure if anyone responded as I can’t keep up with the thread. Klatt believes that it is a possibility that if Bama wins and all else is chalk you could see a Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Bama final 4, which is what he would do if you are truly looking for the four best teams. Overall he thinks Georgia, Michigan, Oregon and Texas would be the right call if this weekend is all chalk. Same with Cowherd.  Growing sentiment behind leaving out a 13-0 FSU if you are truly looking at the 4 best teams. I don’t think it happens but it’s gaining traction.

In a year where 8 teams have a legit argument to be in the top 4, the driving factor for the committee will be c.y.a. pure and simple. In other words, they will go with the only defensible rankings:

a) undefeated P5 teams are in

b) 1-loss conference champions are in over any other 1-loss teams

The committee will catch so much heat if they put in a non conference champion over a conference champion. This means that with an Iowa or Louisville win, TX is in. (And TX should be in with an Oregon win but I don't think we will jump Oregon). I think the only fuckery that could occur is with a Bama win -- in that case I think Bama jumps us because they are not leaving out the SEC champ.

Any other scenarios aren't worth the mental energy

LOL -- Bama is NOT jumping Texas in a 1-v-1 situation if they're both conference champs

Best option for Texas is for all four 12-0 teams to lose this weekend.

No, no, no, no. In your scenario you will end up with 8 one loss teams and the committee can do whatever they wish with no worry about optics. You'll end up with tOSU as #1 and Texas eating a shit sandwich still at #7.

You want Georgia and Washington to win to send Oregon and Bama to the 2 loss crowd and completely out of the picture. Asking Iowa to score over 17 is just too much to ask, so you can't rely on a Michigan loss. But three undefeated teams results in just 3 one loss teams in tOSU, FSU, and Texas and Texas the only one with a title.

Just need a Louisville win and all else chalk. It is the way.

Jesus here we go again. 

AGAIN, no team that was not a conference champion has ever gone to the playoff ahead of a P5 conference champion with the same number of losses. Ever. Not even once.

If every undefeated team lost on Saturday (obviously won't happen) the playoff would be Alabama, Oregon, Texas, and Georgia/Michigan/Ohio State. Best odds for the last spot to Georgia of course. 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Edit.... dammit, Huck beat me to it.

 

I said it upthread, but they have never taken a 1 loss non-conference champ over a 1 loss conference champ.  Of course, they could start this finalyear, but I doubt it.  All of the below presumes we win, and I am so glad we play at 11:00 so we get our game out of the way.....

If we presume the above, then if FSU loses, we are in.  Period.  Unfortunately, I think Georgia/Bama winner is in no matter what, and Oregon will get chosen over us if they win.  While I don't agree, I've made peace that because Oregon has been ahead of us since we lost + "Ess Eee Cee can't be left out!."  I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Is Oregon over Wash considered chalk?  anyway, Klatt and Cowherd are being honest about the 4 best teams but the committee will never do it.  the loss column rules all and even they know that.

I think they are both mainly driving for clicks(insert Dan Lanning video here)

Yeah, I hesitated on that one since Oregon is favored, but just went with the undefeated team winning being the "expected" result. Not really chalk, more like holding to form.

This thread is a beating and everybody keeps regurgitating the same tired shit. Head to head, strength of schedule, SEC, Pac 10, backup QB, Bo Nix completion percentage, common opponent, and blah blah blah. Except there is one angle that is getting completely overlooked: the aggie misery factor.

I was in Vegas at the sportsbook during the Bama/Texas game and there was a group of aggies in the box next to us. All day long I watched them out of the corner of my eye. I saw them go completely apoplectic watching their team shit themselves against Miami. I was fairly apprehensive about our game going in, but I took one look at that those poor bastards and knew they were in for as much misery as possible that day. Well, there was that and the gummy was really starting to kick in, so I went up and put $200 on Texas on the moneyline. The ags next to us were dying during the game. The fourth quarter pretty much happened in slow motion and I could barely walk to the cage to cash my ticket, but I distinctly remember about five of them in perpetual surrender cobra repose as Texas ran out the clock. It was, in the words of that fat fuck Bert Bielema, "borderline erotic."

So everybody needs to get a grip. Realistically looking at this fucked up dog and pony show that we call a selection committee, we're going to get fucked if given half a chance. The chalk in college football has been killing it like no time in recent history. It's likely going to hold up and we're going to end up in some bullshit meaningless bowl. That's the reality. But to maximize aggie misery, which I believe is an unalienable right based on the state of Texas constitution and a bunch of jokes that I heard in elementary school, I have to believe we're making the playoff. So fuck all the different scenarios and the wishcasting... somehow, someway we're making the playoffs. And the screenshots from Texags will flow like blood in the streets.
