Back from the gym. Happy to report zero dropped weights. Now to read 20 pages to catch up.

If not mentioned already we need a list of the clueless, dispshit analists who predicted Texas would be left out of the top 4. So far I've got Kelley Ford, Stu Mandel and Helobious. Anyone else?

Did you say anal-ist? If so, your list makes sense.

like to think of us as being in the SEC but on our own island.

And no, I will NOT be chanting SEC ever. We are in their conference and I will root as @BevoAbyss posted for Texas only. 

Nicole has the perfect metaphor: UT exists "on our own island." Let me add: "... island in the middle of a vast swamp, a polluted and insect-infested backwater that is "SEC SEC SEC!"

Never chant SEC, never care for any teams other than UT. 

By the way, Nicole, you are one of the very best posters on the site, imho.

You know, I'd like to thank Sark, the Texas football team's players, CDC, Texas One Fund and everyone behind it, Jay motherfucking Hartzell, the CFP committee, and frankly everyone who made this possible.

But I think most of the credit goes to one particular poster here on this board. This individual went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we made it here. I don't think anyone else -- not on the team, not in the school administration, or anywhere deserves as one man, here on this board.

I'm speaking, of course, of @Helobious.

By repeatedly insisting all day yesterday that we weren't getting in, he pretty much guaranteed that we would.

I can tell some of you are about to become SEC/Texas fans like a lot of aggies are with their school and conference. Fuck them, their conference was mid across the board. We essentially won two conferences this year. They deserved to be left out. I hope FSU beats the dog shit out of Georgia.

But, to your point, I'm not touching this game. FSU should be really motivated, but how many of their players are NFL-eligible who decide to sit it out?

Why would FSU be motivated? They could win 100-0 and no one will give a shit.

I don’t think anyone here cares or will ever care about the SEC. No one here cares about the rest of the Big12 or SWC, why would that change?

FSU got fucked. Big-time. I’m a known Aggie and if you forced me to bite the bullet, I’d have said this is the proper slate: 

1. UM

2. UDub

3. FSU

4. Texas by virtue of H2H.

It physically hurts to type that but it’s true. 

If Georgia had won like everyone thought they would, then there’s no convo. Four undefeated conference champs, four slots. FSU got punished because Georgia lost and that’s a cowardly joke. 

I don't know how anyone who watched FSU over the past two weeks could come away thinking they were one of the Top 4 teams in the country.

They didn't penalize them for losing a player. They penalized them for looking like dogshit against a bad UF team and a weak UL team.

I think FSU should have been in. But let's not pretend like they're actually a top 4 team. Michigan would strum them. 

All the teams that were up for debate had some unimpressive wins, but they won.  Bama looked mighty unsteady against USF and Auburn.  A three point win over TCU and a TD win over Houston that fired its coach is unimpressive. I’d go so far as to say that shutting out a ten win UL team without your all conference QB is not the shit performance you think it is, it’s a damn good coaching job. The key player rationale is in the stated reasoning and it’s what they’re gonna rely on.

I’m on Texas’ side here and think the committee needed to suck it up in the real world. But let’s not pretend that they do anything other than the easy “take four undefeated P5 teams” if UGA had won. 

[hookem48 4687]

If only Bama loses to Auburn and the committee gets to explain why a 2 loss SEC champion is in.

We're like the Key West of the SEC.  People like it and want to visit.  But we'll blow up the highway bridge, restrict flights in and allow absolutely zero cruise ships.

Quick! Someone grab the Left Out Team Excuse Generator! I think Cal might still have theirs from '04.

1. If we win our bowl game, it proves that we were unjustifiably left out.
2. If we lose our bowl game, it's because we were unmotivated since we were unjustifiably left out.

The Seminoles who play will be motivated bc they feel disrespected and have something to prove.

Good point though. We didn't get left out of anything, so FSU's mindset may be different than ours.

Now can we get back to how Bo Nix was robbed, and should have been in, even if Oregon wasn’t!

And can we talk more about Larry Gatlin scored the second to last touchdown as a backup WR when UH dropped a hundred points on Tulsa back in 68?  I dug up a little bit, but couldn’t find if Gatlin played in the game against #4 UT when they finished with a 20-20 tie.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20115053/will-college-football-team-score-100-points-again

Quote

Larry Gatlin, who would later team up with his brothers and go on to fame as a country recording artist, had just recorded his first and only career reception, a 26-yard touchdown pass to give the Cougars a 93-6 lead (Yes, that's ninety-three points) over the visiting Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The dogs had long ago been called off, but Gatlin's family was in town from Lubbock and he managed to talk his teammates into throwing one more pass to give him a taste of glory. Now within striking distance of triple digits, the Houston faithful smelled blood. The Cougars on the sideline smelled it too.

Quote

Coach Bill Yeoman heard the calls from the crowd and wanted nothing to do with them. Instructions made their way down the sideline that the third-string offense was to kneel on the ball if it had to take the field again. The defense, which included senior linebacker Wade Phillips (Yes, that's NFL coaching veteran Wade Phillips), caught wind of the plan and decided they wanted to make an attempt to appease the crowd.

Edit: ignore, day crew would not understand any of this.

I am surprised they actually did it and left a 13-0 P5 champion out. As soon as you saw Texas at 3 you knew that would happen. If Texas is seeded over FSU, Alabama has to be. At least their logic was consistent - although honestly sticking to the present, FSU should honestly be way down the rankings.

I don’t know how I feel about it to be honest. There are obvious competitive issues leaving a 13-0 P5 team out in favor of a 12-1 team. It’s also probably true that Michigan or Washington would have beaten FSU soundly; but we don’t know that for sure. Between that and FSU passing two tests on backup QBs and I think I come down on the side of them deserving their shot, but I do understand why the committee went with Alabama. There’s an argument there beyond just “SECSECSEC.”

No clean, right answer on the fourth team with how the CCGs went, really.

[LTtxfan 49101]

If 12 team playoffs were in place this year, blOU was last team out ranked #12.

HaHaHaHa😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[gmr548 16567]

For UGA absolutely. I could see FSU wanting to go 14-0 and claim a title. I would in their shoes.
