But will the committee care more about what the TV executives want or will they want to avoid the controversy more?
I think they just need a reason to rationalize it. Like Georgia stomping Alabama or tech beating the crap out of byu. Incentivize big games rather than punish. Miami might end up with their feelings hurt but they can’t even sell out their stadium. -
Let me tell you who wants Texas in the playoff. And wants Texas to keep big non conference games.
The Ohio State vs. Texas game drew 16.62 million viewers, making it the most-watched Week 1 college football game on record. The game peaked at 18.6 million viewers and was broadcast on Fox as part of the "Big Noon Saturday" window.
Average Viewership: 16.62 million viewers.
Peak Viewership: The game peaked at 18.6 million viewers between 3:00 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. ET.
Significance: This was the most-watched Week 1 college football game since tracking began in 1993 -

I predict that if we beat the aggies you are going to see an absolute full court press on ESPN and the playoff committee. The Manning family is going to leverage their connections and Sark/connected Texas alumni are going to start banging the drum about how two of our losses are to the top 2 teams in the country on the road (while we have two wins over teams directly in the field, the most in the country). You also are gonna have Texas brass/CDC threatening to nix preseason games against elite opponents if we are going to be penalized for it. It may not be enough to get us over the hump but I expect a massive amount of pressure to be placed on the committee, especially if we win convincingly over the sheep fuckers. Should OU or Bama slip up, I expect that we will make the playoffs. Who doesnt want a peaking Texas/Arch Manning going on the road in Round 1 for a ratings bonanza.
100%. Machine is ready to go if we can whip these cunts.

I keep thinking about what happens if the Oklahoma 2nd half team shows the rest of the year and the rest of the schedule looks so damn favorable. There's still too much upside left in the year to be bailed on this season.
As soon as the upside goes away I start to wonder how it impacts AD revenue going into next year. Once you lose the hardcore the casuals aren't far behind. Season ticket renewal in the event of a 2nd half implosion (lose out) would be insane.

I know its a week out but the SEC twitter reporting Texas Vandy gametime now being optioned pending results of this weekend. If we can get a W (big IF) and Vandy holds serve, we may get a night game or at worst 2:30.
Night game with a top 10 team would be great.
?? like some rando or actual conference twitagra account?
