One host picked Texas #4 based on head-to-head, the other picked Bama because he thinks they’re the best team in the country right now and would beat Texas if they played head-to-head ‘now’

No one that watched Texas play today should be able to say that with a straight face. 

We've won our last 2 games by a combined 85 points. Bama eeked by Georgia and should have lost to Auburn. Again. If you want to value recent results more then okay. Over the last two games for each team Texas has looked more impressive overall. Go back another week and we won by 10 on the road in Ames at night (in November) and Bama played an FCS team.

But they'd line up and beat us this time around, because, why? I don't see it.

Texas needs to address this "Alabama has the best win" BS. Just point out that Alabama will be above Georgia so Texas has the best win. 

Yes, Alabama HAD the best win, until the new rankings came out after they won.

At which point, Texas will have the best win. Please note future vs past tense.

For what it’s worth from a few minutes ago.

edit:  for context, she believes the committee will still see Georgia as one of the best teams that was ranked No. 1 and will also consider FSU having key personnel (QB or QBs) out.  Essentially, consider who they are now and consider whether they are one of the best four teams.

Ok we're in. Glad we all came together and settled it.

So it's just seeding.

Now, I'd like it if we're #3 and play Washington as #2.

Kinda continues the "settling old business" thread of this year.

Then we beat Michigan for the title and again in the rematch game next year.

Because something something secsecsec nonsensical bullshit. Oregon was supposed to easily beat Washington in the rematch right?

It would be cooler to play Michigan in the Rose Bowl, but Washington is worse and less talented top to bottom than Michigan or (more obviously) Alabama.  Washington is who I’d like to draw to maximize the chances of winning.  Penix isn’t actually that great a talent, either.  

Short version. Michigan is the better team but we match up against them better than we do Washington.

Oh, and I'll say that if I was picking our opponent in the discussion it would be FSU in the Sugar.

I THINK it will be Washington in Rose.

So I predict:

1) Washington 

2) Michigan 

3) FSU

4) Texas

So I think Houston ends up looking like:

Which I personally would love.

But.. the most important thing is, I just want Texas to play!!!!

He's winning me over somewhat. I know we didn't have our full squad, but he does have scoreboard on us from last year. He's the real deal at QB and should be respected by Sark if we have to face him again.

I’ll have whatever you people saying Texas is in already are smoking. FSU doesn’t deserve to be in but there’s just no reality that they got left out, or the SEC champ gets left out. We’re the odd man

Well, anyone who pays a lick of attention to college football is taking into account we beat said SEC champ in their house by double digits.

We agree, against the opinion of most Surly. Michigan is a much better team than Washington in totality, if Washington's offense is a better match up against Texas.

Texas will score, a lot, on Washington.
