  1. Past hour
  2. No Adams or Sengun and Amen was trash. Dallas actually doesn't suck when AD plays, btw. They beat Denver and Miami before losing to OKC.
  3. The loss to Florida is what's keeping us out of the CFP, not the loss to Ohio State. Step 1 is properly identifying the problem/cause. Many on this board can't seem to do that. This situation is nobody else's fault but our own because we failed to win a game we should have won. Continuing to rely on "help" or "luck" to succeed is a fool's errand. Elite programs do their job and win the games they're supposed to win. They don't step on their own dicks and then beg for mercy.
  4. They either need to give the committee a stricter structure or just use computer models. The weekly rankings are supposed to give a good sense of where you stand, but they've moved idle teams and teams without a notable outcome in pretty much every week this year. No matter whether you think we are done or not, we are open in sportsbooks, which means enough people think idle Texas could be swapped with another idle team that it is a betting prop. The big issue with computer models is that it is really hard to exclude "run up the score" stats in them and have good output. And most modelers don't really understand football. They just have generic modified Elo's or stat regression's that they could apply to any sport or game. These aren't bad, but they aren't good either. We all see the headscratchers that Sagarin puts out at times. And his BCS-qualified model was even worse.
  5. Pos rep for reminding me of Cormac.
  6. Sunday - Bobby There’s only one SEC team the Longhorns would be underdogs against on a neutral field - Georgia. Not Alabama. They can’t run the ball and their QB is seriously overrated. Certainly not Oklahoma, Texas A&M or Vanderbilt. Texas already beat them all convincingly. Not Ole Miss either. They lost their coach. That’s the problem with this “committee”. It talks about the Longhorns’ loss to Florida as if Texas is the same team today that played in Gainesville at the first of October. The Longhorns clearly aren’t. Texas is 6-1 over the last seven games, including three top 10 wins. Texas itself should be among the top 10 teams in the country. The Longhorns should be in the playoffs. Alas, they won’t be. Too many preconceptions were made too early about the strength of an Alabama team that beat Georgia but has looked average as grits for the last month. And then there’s an Aggie team that folded easier than a piece of paper in a book when they met their first real contest in two months. An unequal non-conference schedule leads us to this. A conference with 16 teams leads us to this. A group of folks sitting in a hotel conference room deciding the outcome leads us to this. ** Instead of the CFP, I think Texas is headed to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando to play Michigan. We’ll know more in a couple of hours. ** Moves behind the scenes are already well underway as it relates to the portal. Agents are busy shopping players to various teams. Teams have expressed interest. While January 2 is the official opening of the portal, any team waiting until then has already lost the game.
  7. The problem with the BCS was that there was no tournament, not that it was bad at the rankings.
  8. They can at least put Duke ahead of JMU. Which I think they should do. Then I'd put ND and Miami both in and tell BYU and Bama to fuck off since we just saw them unable to hang with legit playoff teams yesterday. (assuming they aren't entertaining putting Texas in)
  9. its just as dumb as Texas scheduling Tulsa over Ohio St and are probably propped in the 7/8 spot.
  10. Well according to the committee they aren’t punishing us for that they are punishing us for losing to Florida. Which is bs but it is what it is.
  11. The CFP needs to address differences in conference strength from year to year. One way to do that would be to schedule OOC games based on conference. One season, have every SEC and ACC team play two OOC against each other - one home and one away. Then rotate the next year. That would make for better games and make it easier to measure conferences against each other.
  12. They should absolutely just leave out the G5 this year and deal with the lawsuits.
  13. The upside with next year is the schedule is in our favor ironically. Now I hate this BS that goes around now about who in the SEC plays a strong or weak schedule because ultimately in conference you can’t control if your opponents suck or not. But next year based on who is replacing coaches we SHOULD be in very good position to be playing in the SEC championship and hopefully that will be UGA. That being said while you can’t ignore the 12 games ahead of that potential match up, the focus should start tomorrow with Sark and the boys to make it the goal to play Kirby and his boys in Atlanta next December and absolutely destroy them. If it’s not UGA, then it’s whomever shows up. The message needs to be se sent that the bend over taking it from the committee and their media lapdogs will not happen again if we have anything to to do with it. Does Sark have it in him? I guess we will find out starting with what moves he makes in the portal in a few weeks.
  14. Winning by 10 against a #3 ranked rival with the game not being in question for the majority of the 4th quarter is lopsided. Arkansas was also a great game.
  15. Two G5 teams lol. Simply sorting the loss column is hilarious. I hope no one watches this abortion of a playoff and the entire thing implodes.
  16. Right so give them less power by making the process more simple and having everyone play a better schedule. Or have computers pick the teams. Because if you did that then no one would ever complain about which teams get in!
  17. This was always the problem with the Ohio State game. It just leaves less margin for error. At 9-3 we needed things to break our way to get in (things like LSU over OU last weekend). Not enough broke our way. It's fucking stupid we're being punished for playing the highest rated regular season game in college football history. But unfortunately it's not shocking or surprising.
  18. then BYU should be in. better SOR, and a respectable SOS. 1 less loss
  19. Aggy was leading at half. We won by ten. Not sure if you’re fucking with us.
  20. The committee is a moving target year-to-year so it’s hard to speak w/ any convention as to their criteria week-to-week much less annually. They DID hang their hat on “Conference Championship game participants will not be punished due to a loss” a year ago. This season, and in the past week, Yormark specifically has played it close to the vest in interviews revealing almost nothing to give the public an inside look at committee criteria down the stretch so all we can do is guess. If it’s the eye test, Bama’s finish vs OU, Auburn, & Georgia didn’t exactly light the world on fire. But in a world of speculation, one can only wonder what ACTUALLY tips the scales…..eye test? good matchups for TV ratings? Who knows, but I would bet the committee, already staring at Tulane & James Madison ruining 2 of the 4 1st round matchups, doesn’t want to flirt with a 3rd choosing BYU over Alabama
  21. 2, and both were lopsided and Texas looked pretty good.
  22. This is what I WANT to happen. I don’t think it happens though. we are unfortunately out.
