Anyone else having troubles sleeping?  It’s like Christmas Eve as a kid waiting for Santa to come in the morning.  (That MF brings us coal, we kill him).

I’d say we are all a little woke, given that it’s two in the morning.

If Louisville had Arch they win by twenty. I'm not sure what that really means. But the committee will take it into due consideration.

If fsu had bo nix they’d be number 1. Instead they’ll be number 4

Mandel is a moron who signed a deal with Texags because he thought they were good journalists.

Is this true? lol

 And then you fucking find out that the guy dressed as Santa is actually your old neighbor that your parents asked to play Santa, and that birdshot fired out of a .22 can in fact break the skin, putting to rest the bullshit your older cousin told you, and if Texas was left out, it’d be just like you losing your .22 for a year because of bullshit about not firing a gun in the house or at people, especially WWII vets, and you have to do a shit-ton of chores and a paper route for a year to pay for the trip to the ER for the neighbor.

Yeah, it’s that feeling.

Mandel also has his finger on the pulse of the CFP discussion more than any ESPN or CBS talking head. It's a bad sign.

I don’t like her but Heather Dinich is in Grapevine and talks to the CFP. She knows more than anybody, especially Stewart Fucking Mandel.

It should be: UM, Wash, UT, Bama
It will be: FSU, UGA, Adams College, Minnesota State

Fixed. Bo Nix entered the portal a few hours after the PAC-10 championship, and they’ve already got him lined up to play next month because of the eye test.

Half of it is.

He IS a moron, but the reason he signed a deal with texags was because they promised him more money, not because they were good journalists.

Based on the majority of media opinion it looks like it will be: 

1. Michigan

2. Wash

3. FSU

4. Texas

Good. I want Michigan first. They'll be the easiest to take down. McCarthy is meh, and we own the run game.

I think 🤔 the CFP is a big political mess right now.

The committee has to talk about the fact Alabama was one Hugh Freeze brain fart from a loss to lowly Auburn, late in the season. 

[Bookman 4639]

If they want to pick the best four teams, it's Michigan, Texas, Alabama, and Washington. 

[52-80 19162]

[GTJ1982 380]

Well this is the scenario I put forth early this week. Let’s see if the committee does the what they are supposed to do and put Texas in. 

[MissingInAction 25106]

If they want anyone to give a shit then Texas gets a spot.

Not that I agree with his thinking, but I am a bit concerned.

Mandel's brand is being wrong on pretty much everything. He's an oaf. You can start with his predictions about how strong the PAC 12 remainders would be in their tv negotiations and work backward.

Edit - unless the committee is blind or were fast asleep for the last game, it was obvious that FSU doesn't belong in the top 4. I agree with what LT just posted - they'll put bama ahead of fsu but behind UT, just on the eye test.

I want to feel confident but I also can’t see the committee leaving an undefeated team out and I definitely can’t see them leaving a sec champion out.

I’d like to throw a new name in the playoff discussion: Oklahoma. 

Only team in the nation to slay two conference champions. Undefeated season minus a couple of meaningless weeks. May have recently learned how to run the football at the expense of defending an offense. Just a thought.

SEC doesn't get to ride on the coattails of prior year greatness. This years SEC was a middling conference.

All this Mandel bashing is appreciated, but his initial point that the committee can sidestep the H2H argument by ranking Bama 2-3 spots ahead of us is definitely plausible. Our main hope is they decide a QB-less FSU would be overwhelmed in a semifinal.

No kidding.  Either some pro-Texas folks are in the committee or they aren’t.  Texas vs World once again.

More like SEC vs the other 4 power conferences who have repeatedly been screwed over in the past for them.

[Eastwood 4394]

They’re going to “aw, shucks” FSU into the playoff because they won the weakest P5 conference and then we all have to watch FSU get absolutely dumpstered by Washington or Michigan when they could have had a Texas/Michigan or Bama/Michigan slugfest or a Texas/Washington rematch. 

[Neonmoon 38129]

We’re going to get fucked because SEC can’t not get in. 

[LonghornSean 4008]

Woke up much less confident than I was when I went to sleep. The thing is we just don’t know how the committee is gonna handle it.

But the games on the field have to matter, otherwise what are we doing.

H2H this year suggests they aren't the weakest conference.

[Hawndoh 2386]

Here's how it will go down.

Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Florida State go to the playoffs. The only debate in the committee is whether Texas or FSU is the 3 seed.

Texas wins the national title and heads to the off-season with scoreboard over the SEC champ, the Pac12 champ, and the B1G champ.

And all is right with the world

If Louisville had won, we would be in no matter what. The SEC game wouldn't have mattered to us. Rooting for Georgia was stupid.

I think FSU is the most deserving at no.4 but definitely not the best 4th. Their best win is LSU, who BAMA beat along with GA.

I want to see MI-Texas and Washington-FSU.

I can't help but think, damn it feels good to be back.  I think we're in.
