I'd rather stay behind Georgia until they come to Austin.  Same way I felt about being behind SC in 05.  I'd rather have something to prove than something to defend.

You say a lot of stupid shit and you do it at a rapid, voluminous rate. You’re like a shit howitzer, just fucking blasting the board with constant bullshit.

No reason to sugar coat it, we got our ass kicked.

But Kanell is an imbecile (or troll) per usual. Last I checked, Indiana has a strength of schedule in the triple digits, compared to 50s for Texas. Texas has 5 FPI Top 50 wins compared to Indiana’s 2 (3 to 0 if you look at Top 40).  Indiana barely beat a Michigan team at home that Texas dominated on the road.

I've seen Texas get an asskicking much more than id like to admit, but that Georgia game was tale of two halves. it was an 8 pt game most of second halve. I thought we were gonna fuck around and win for a bit. 

but if your a longhorn fanatical and watched the whole game and came away that we got our ass kicked than I can only imagine what non Texas fans think.

We made mistakes and gave them short fields. I thought we could have won if we had played them again, I did not feel like it was some kind of ass kicking.

Ah well. Doesn't matter. Which is the nice part. All these people bitching about how we don't deserve shit don't matter. We either win or we don't. Our destiny is entirely in the hands of our team. Very refreshing compared to the old days when those idiots opinions decided everything.

he's a fucking idiot/troll.  It isn't like we scored a late TD to make it a 15 point game.  It was 23-15 until about 10 min left in the game.  we were actually driving back down after the TD and then quinn fumbled..  We drove back down again and turned it over on downs in Ga territory.

Georgia made 2 fucking plays the entire 2H.

I was at the game the dawgs whooped our ass. We have to win every game going forward. We don't have the benefit of the doubt the way we have played lately. Win baby win.

I wasn't physically at the game so maybe the asskicking wasn't properly communicated on TV.

Anyway getting into the playoffs after losing to one of two shitty teams like Kentucky and A&M should be too shameful to contemplate anyway.

Why?

Because they are terrible and we should win convincingly.

But seriously, a playoff team should be able to handle its business. I don't want to see Texas back into anything like we are Sooners or something.

Well, and I can only speak for me, I couldn't care less if we back in because that means we have a shot at winning the national championship.

Well hopefully we won't be in that position anyway.

I just don't see a team who can't beat A&M and Kentucky winning the national championship. But I guess anybody can get hot at the right time.

Their offense didn’t do shit. One possession over 35 yards with points. Our D is consistently great

Well I guess if you want to say their defense beat down our offense that would be accurate.

I haven't seen anyone claim we CAN'T beat a&m. Of course we can.

WILL we? I certainly think so. The oddsmakers think so. Most here think so. Doesn't mean an upset won't happen. 

But, even if we don't, we are still certainly CAPABLE of winning the title. I think we are on a short list of teams with a decent chance to do so.

Guys Texas shit its pants on big time national prime time TV. Stop trying to act like that was even close to a respectable loss. The defense looked salty and the offense looked like a fucking liability.

There isn't a single elite team in college football this year. It's wide open.

It’s funny how perception works. This has been Ole Miss’ conference journey:

-Loses at home to a horrible Kentucky team
-Plays South Carolina with Sellers playing through injury
-Loses to a horrible LSU team in a game where they had a 96% win probability at one point in the 4th quarter 
-In a 16-14 game at home halfway through the third quarter against the worst Oklahoma team in 25 years
-Smoked Arkansas in a game where Taylen Green got hurt and Ja’Quinden Jackson didn’t play
-Beats Georgia at home

So they lost to two bad teams, played two backup or hurt QB’s, played with their food against OU and got up for one game against Georgia and all of a sudden they are now a lock for the playoff. Of course add in their non conference slate of Furman, Middle Tennessee State, Georgia Southern and Wake Forest.

It’s funny how in the eyes of some, winning one big game apparently excuses losing to two horrible teams.

and now they go play a Florida team that may have figured some things out after two weeks of everyone telling them how wonderful they are.

They'd never lose to a 3rd tier conference team like Florida

excuse me sir but those are two "SEC horrible" teams klan lost to!

SEC top 15 team win - worth  10billion internet/media playoff points

SEC unranked team win - worth 10 points

SEC horrible team win - worth 2 points

SEC horrible team loss - worth 0 points

SEC unranked team loss - worth -2 points

SEC top 15 team loss - worth -11venty trillion points(if your only loss)

I can't imagine anyone with a functioning fucking brain thinking that Indiana, Notre Dame and Penn State are all better than BOTH Bama and Georgia. (fixed)

We need divisions or pods or something in the P4. Especially if this is how lazy the committee is going to be with W/L records.

I mean #4-#13 in general is just awful. What is Boise State even being ranked that high for? Losing to Oregon? Congrats. They don't have ONE P4 win. Explain to me why they are ranked ahead of teams like Colorado or Clemson. Let alone BYU and SMU.

Just checked - BSU doesn't crack the top 20 in FPI, Sagarin or SP+. BYU isn't very highly rated advanced-metrics wise but they are still a 1-loss P4 team with an OOC win over a top 15 team.

Notre Dame ranked #6 about to lose to army lol

Nonsense. According to The Committe Notre Dame would at worst have gone 5-1 against Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida and Kentucky. Oh and Clemson. 6-1. 

Do not question The Committe.

It is so predictable with the won/loss records as it will now relate to SEC, BIG Ten, and ACC.   It is funny that Big 12 is viewed as basically barely above G5.

Nothing has really changed.  loss column rules all.   Indiana is low because A) they are new money and B) they know next week will clear all that up.  one loss for New Money with really shitty SOS will drop them pretty big.

ACC? Miami is overrated. Past that they have the highest G5 team ahead of the 1st place team in the ACC. They are telling us that the B12 and ACC each get 1 bid.

Which - outside of BSU's bs ranking - I don't think the ACC or B12 should be necessarily getting more love. I think the main - glaring - issue is the B10 and ND being slotted ahead of all but the #1 SEC team when those teams are playing candy-ass fucking schedules.
