I see people saying she's like the 'committee whisperer' or something. How accurate has she been previewing the rankings so far?

If it ends up Texas-Michigan in the national championship game, that would have to be one of the first times we get a national championship rematch in a non-conference game the following year.

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.

That's probably what Oregon thought they'd do. The difference is we're a lot better than Oregon.

Dinich needs to lay off the plastic surgery.

Heather Dinnich, who hates us, just said Texas is in and is campaigning Bama over FSU. 

Yeah, I think everyone is now assuming Texas is in. The argument has shifted to Bama vs FSU, which is great for us.

I don’t follow her.  So don’t know.  Here’s her rationale that she believes the  committee would consider.  Georgia was No. 1, so considered the best team for most of the season and still. one of the bests.  FSU is now lacking key personnel (QB or QBs) and the committee takes that into consideration, which impacts whether FSU is still one of the four best teams.  It’s not and not better than Georgia.

It was.  08 was even better.

I don't disagree, but the 09 slander is annoying, I never hated our fanbase more than that year. That team healthy was winning that game by a blowout because Bama was shellshocked. Colt with that screen to Shipley would have scored 50.

Just read the bios of all the committee members. There are zero with any ties to anything SEC. That has to be good. The KSU AD is on there. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Well he does like $$ and UT getting in helps the B12 coffers and its always better to not set any precedents that could get used against you in the future

Because we are.  Worst case we're the #4 and that would be a slap in the face.  We're #3 because they won't move us over teams that won their CCG, but in reality we should probably be #1 or #2 the way all teams are playing right now.

Right now I have to think we are probably the one team that nobody would choose to face first.  Our offense was on fire today and the defense was incredibly stingy.  And the score as lopsided as it was, truly did not reflect how lopsided this game was.  We did not even play close to a perfect game, yet totally destroyed a team that I think FSU would have struggled with for example.

We are peaking at the right time, and all we need is that next opportunity. 

Basically all I want for Christmas is two more games! 

That’s what makes it so exciting.  In 2001, I was bummed to not go to the NC game, but not really because I knew we would get our ads kicked.  This is different - I believe this team could win the playoffs!  We could bring that trophy “all the way back to Austin Texas baby!”

Wait... championship game in 2001?

Fucking speed option to the short side of the field changed all that. Stupid fucking playcall.

Over on texags some aggy is arguing Bama's loss is better than Texas loss. That's gotta be a troll.

Texas > OU so ergo Bama > Texas

It is like bizarro world where losing to somebody makes you better than them. I can understand why A&M would like that world.

She can probably hear quite a bit of the discussions when she’s under the table.
