Pulling for a half-concussed Rodemaker to play the majority of snaps on Saturday.

Instead of Murphy? In that case I would definitely have hope that Manning catches fire better than Murphy.

[Zeus 6,128]

Well my +110 on Louisville is a value now it’s at +108. 
 

Fuck Florida state

That's the thing. I'm not sure that Glenn would be any worse than Rodemaker. Hell, there's a chance he's better.

could this be the "hey, Tate, buddy, did I tell you you had a concussion? If anyone asks you have a concussion, ok?"

[Hornin04 261]

Best case in my mind: Washington beats Oregon. We dominate the pokes. FSU loses. Michigan struggles with a shitty Iowa team. And Georgia wins.

So go huskies, Hawkeyes, bulldogs and cardinals.

Does that...actually help? Rodemaker was horrendous. Granted he didn't turn it over so maybe the third string guy might do that.

If Louisville is even a top 20 team they should win this game by 10 or more. Texas would boatrace these clowns.

It means a true FR QB that's thrown 4 pass attempts will have to start. Louisville has a good defense too. 

Seems like trouble.

I think if we could have got an OU match up, the committee may have been able to justify us jumping an undefeated FSU. I just don’t see it without a loss. 

[Hank_Hill 18,896]

“Is a true freshman 3rd string QB making his first college appearance in a conference championship with the playoffs on the line actually good for FSU??”

This thread will convince itself anything is  a bad development for Texas.

Since this ain't preseason anymore

Win out, get a normal amount of shaking out and upsets, and we're in a great spot.

All the meaningless speculation, the top 8 are still the top 8.

2,3,4,5 are now 1,2,4,3

It's been a wildly tame year at the top. Mind blowing levels of consistency, even with plenty of close calls.

not a chance.  it is a zero loss conf champ.  OU is 6 spots different from OSU and beat OU.  it is not like they an unranked 7-5.

sure OSU took 2 bad losses. their SOS is 30 and FSU and Louisville are in the 60's.  OU is 18.

I told my wife as soon as I saw him go back out there that his parents should sue the school because he was obviously severely concussed. Whatever doctor cleared him should be fired.

the clearest path includes Oregon winning.

if Washington, Michigan and Georgia win those are 3 spots sewn up 100% no matter what. a 1 loss Texas has no chance of passing a 0 loss Washington

if Oregon wins + Michigan and Georgia, that's 2 spots sewn up and at least a minimal chance for Texas to pass a 1 loss Oregon.

[chemHORN 1,241]

So if 2nd string QB is concussed and somehow FSU lucks their way into a win, would the committee demote an undefeated FSU as punishment for running a clearly concussed player back out on the field. 

[TexasFan21 1,275]

With the P12 championship game being tonight, has anyone seen any injury updated on Penix? He did not look good at the end of last weeks game.

The clearest path is FSU (or Mich) losing and then it makes zero difference what the outcome of the PAC12 game is.  You could even argue it's better for Washington to win in that scenario if there were concerns about a another 1 loss team in the mix (even though a 1 loss non-champ would almost certainly be out).

If Iowa played 3 games vs Michigan do you think they could score double digits?

What the hell. I’ll play.  We need to win.  We need Georgia and Michigan to win. The winner of the PAC12 is in. Florida State loses. We’re in. 
 

If Bama wins, no way they’re leaving out Georgia.

Yes they will. Even Finebaum admitted today that UGA is out if they lose and Texas wins. He didnt like it and advocated against it. But that's the breaks. 

No. 8 Alabama: Path to the playoff: Win the SEC and hope Texas loses. Or win the SEC and have Florida State lose; that would leave Michigan, the Pac-12 champion, Alabama and Texas in the top four. The selection committee would consider one-loss Georgia and one-loss Ohio State in this scenario, but it would be difficult for them to justify, considering Alabama would have knocked off its top team, and Texas would have a win against the SEC champs. If Texas loses but Florida State wins, the top four could be Michigan, the Pac-12 champion, Florida State and Alabama.

Let's compare the 3 teams:

1. Conference Championship (Bama and Texas) (Bonus point for Texas they beat the SEC champs and are the only team in the field with a win over another playoff team) Tex > Bama > Georgia

2. Head 2 Head (Adv Texas who beat Bama) (Adv Bama who beat Georgia) Tex > Bama > Georgia

Shit this isnt going to well for Georgia, let's move to item 3....

3. Strength of Schedule (Texas > Bama > Georgia)

Well shit there is always...

4. Common Opponents (Adv Texas who beat Bama on the road) (Georgia lost to Bama at a neutral site)

Well there you have it folks, obviously Georgia is going to get in over Texas!!! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

If we are going to use results from previous seasons, lets throw the 2019 Sugar Bowl into the mix.  It is every bit as relevant.

Yeah it would be different if we weren't also a helmet school and a huge brand. They wouldn't outright screw us just to force Georgia in. If Georgia wants in they need to win.
