gonna be real funny also the gymnastics if for some reason we lose to aggy.  they are leaving aggy at #15 for a reason.  I can see this happening

Texas loses to aggy, rest of SEC is chalk and Bama beats aggy

Big Ten chalks out through champ game with OSU beating IU this week, and Oregon beating OSU again in champ game - so OSU has 2 losses, both to #1.

ACC chalks out with Miami beating SMU

what do they do with Texas, Tenn, aggy?

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.

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. 

yes I know Miami is overrated that is why I said they are giving ACC closer to SEC/BIg Ten type respect.  Big 12 is getting G5 type respect..

and just to be complete Notre Dame is getting the usual Notre Dame bump.  I know it is a playoff now but we are back to "how do you win a national championship?  First Notre Dame has to lose."  #6 with a loss to NIU at HOME is fucking hilarious.

Shit like this is why I keep saying absent some upsets resulting in 5 SEC teams making it (and even then not a done deal), i don't really see how Texas gets in losing @ Aggy.  It's really pretty simple.  Michigan and OU both having their worst teams in years fucked the resume this year.   Just gotta win.

And? What are Indiana’s top 25 wins? 

The teams in the top 6 have 0, 1, 1, 1, 0 and 1 loss

Georgia has 2 losses. They are in the 2 loss group that includes Bama, Ole Miss and Tennessee. They lost to Bama and Ole Miss and beat Tennessee

When and if Texas loses a 2nd game, they will likely fall below Georgia and miss the playoffs if that 2nd loss is in CS and not Atlanta

This is the correct answer.

Plus we won at Michigan (not our fault they suck), at Arkansas (which Tennessee did not), at Vanderbilt (which Bama did not) and beat Florida handedly, who Tennessee and Georgia both struggled with.

If Texas beats the brakes off Kentucky, well, that was a team Ole Miss lost to and Georgia struggled with.

We beat OU by 31 in a heated rivalry game where wild things happen. Tenn only won by 10 and Ole Miss only won by 12

It is not our fault we played an easier SEC schedule - blame the conference schedule makers. Michigan was a marquee matchup before Harbaugh left. Texas is beating teams they should and only dropped a game against a top 5 UGA. We do not have losses to unranked SEC teams (like Bama and Tenn and Ole Miss) or 2 losses (like Georgia, one of which was an 18 point loss and the other, they were down 30-7)

That's it. Lose and it's a shitty bowl. Win and in.

It's not that complicated. You can mind twist all day long. You can go full aggie and bitch about the anti-UT BOMC or the reality that it shouldn't be the case. But accepting the reality is what I've done, personally. Cause win and in is easier than all thr other shit. 

I acknowledge that this year, 2 loss Texas isn't getting into the CFP. 

And... they shouldnt lose. I'm of the opinion if they do, they don't deserve to be there anyway. (Yes it's true for other teams as well)

IU is gonna beat OSU, imo. And I am confident there are other "upsets"/upsets coming. Won't predict any others but this cake is not fully baked just yet.

I'd agree that Georgia is too low.  Seems like the committee isn't putting much weight on "quality of loss" and I think that should matter.  I'd probably have Georgia one spot ahead of Bama and both those 2 in front of Old Miss and Tenn.  Georgia has more quality wins and their losses are also better.  And Notre Dame (and arguably Miami) should be behind all of them.  Georgia hasn't looked great in several of their wins, so I guess it's back to eye test being a big factor.

In fairness, Fla started some kid from Yale at QB.

But I get your point.

I have lit a candle for little baby Jesus and built a shrine to the weather gods in my prayers we get ND and/or Miami in the playoffs.

In my perfect world, we get them both then face Oregon and avoid IU.

My perfect world that won't happen, but I think would be the easiest path to a title

After beating Kentucky and aggie beat Bama in SEC champ game.

Miami yes please!

ND 

CU

Got datum that'd be a tasty run that I'd be confident in winning. 

Add an Ole Miss loss to Florida, a tenner loss to Vandy , an aggy and Bama loss to auburn and suddenly were going to magically have a lot of ranked wins

I mean.... I won't say any of those are likely but none are impossible and a couple would not surprise me. Edit.... Auburn ain't beatin Bama that I can see.. but otherwise

It's very weird to me that most of the sportswriters would seemingly have a much better opinion of our team if we beat Georgia but lost to, like, Mississippi State.

This. If you say Texas is in what the hell else is there to talk about, no one gives a shit about any team other than Texas, with the added bonus that we might be fucking up the whole SEC is such a gotdam hard meatgrinder bullshit that has been spouted for YEARS.

we show up and all of sudden Georgia is getting ass blasted by Ole Miss, barely beating middling or worse Kentucky and Bama gets beat by the entire state of Tennessee.

That All State Playoffs projector thing has us at a 75% chance to make the playoffs if we beat Kentucky but lose to A&M. Seems high.

 

We're Texas. It's a more appealing brand that promises higher ratings than most other options. That helps us get in under most scenarios.

Never forget that it's basically all one big TV show now with all the money involved.

Because none of the people saying Texas shouldn't be in after a loss to aggy have fuck all to do with who makes the CFP.

Sorry, yes, I agree. Win and in =  next 2 games. 

You have to look at the CFP rankings and not just feel your way through this.  Assume we beat UK.  (The whole argument is for all intents and purposes moot if we don't.)  We're likely at #3.  Assume all four P4 champs remain in the top 12.  Assume we lose to A&M.  Boise (or whoever) will take one remaining spot, meaning we need to drop no lower than #11.  Do you really think the CFP committee would drop us from #3 to #12 or lower after one loss?  I don't see it.

There are exactly three brands that the committee will put in the CFP if they can swing it: Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Texas.

They just dropped BYU 8 spots after a loss to KU.  Not saying it's the same, but still.....

Texas isn't BYU , A&M isn't Kansas . 8 is still less than the 9 we have room for. 

 

I personally think we're fine as long as we win Kentucky, also won't be super pissed if we lose out 10-2 depending on what happens with the other top 12 . 

I still think there is a fair chance a bunch of these 10-2 drip 1 more under the pressure
