    Nothing broke Texas' way yesterday and as a result IMO Texas is on the outside looking in re: CFP.

    It is a bummer but will give Sark time to get transfer portal hopping and focus on off season.

    I will be thrilled if Texas somehow gets in but I just don't see happening especially given the committee's statement that championship games don't matter.

    Look at you being all calm and rational in a thread that barely has that. What are you, a Buddhist?

    The loser of the Big XII title game should be nervous if Georgia hands Bama their 3rd loss and the committee decides to keep Bama

    The committee will absolutely keep Bama in at 10 if they lose. We weren't harmed by losing to Georgia last year. The SEC and Big 10 loser still gets a spot because Ole Miss, Oregon, and aggy didn't do enough to qualify.

    I'd argue that us dropping all the way out of the top 25 after the UF loss is what fucked us.   Just too much ground to make up.  I know it wasn't the playoff rankings, but the other polls matter when the playoff rankings come out.  Dropping us from 9 to unranked after a road SEC loss is just dumb.  Yes, FLA is bad, but I cannot recall any other top 10 team dropping like that. 

    We were 10 in both the CFP and AP going into Georgia.

    I'm pretty sure the committee is going to move us up to 13 or 14, just like the polls, give themselves enough wiggle room for next week's games to play out in an attempt to kill any and all questions/controversy off quickly.   From their point of view moving us up to 11 or 12 would be unbelievably stupid going into the unknowns of the final week.  

    Yeah, they'll penalize aggy for losing more than reward us for winning. They'll also keep Miami outside to avoid the Notre Dame issue.

    The Florida loss was the snake bite. Getting butt fucked by Georgia didn't help. Our record earned us bubble team status. 

    Sark spent most of the season trying to course correct this team and the offensive play calling. We had a chance at beating Ohio State, losing to Florida is inexcusable and the butt fucking by Georgia is also inexcusable. 

     

    I've argued that Georgia is the reason we had an insurmountable deficit to overcome in the CFP. We went from 10 to 17. We didn't drop to 17 because of losing to Ohio State in late August.

    OU scheduled Texas.  Loss

    Aggie scheduled Texas.  Loss

    No, the SEC scheduled those games. Just like it scheduled us to play Florida and Georgia. I have no issue saying we should be ahead of OU since we beat them head to head. I do think it's silly to say we should be ahead of aggy when they didn't lose any other SEC games. Yeah, they benefited from a soft schedule as did we last year.

  7. ESPN's projection

    Cheez-It Citrus Bowl
    Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida)
    3 p.m., ABC
    Bonagura: Michigan vs. Texas
    Schlabach: Michigan vs. Texas

    They have Vandy in the Gator or Reliaquest. The SEC gets a say in the bowl matchups so they'll want favorable matchups in each one.

    Unfortunately we scheduled Michigan and OSU when we were in the big 12 with only 4 playoff teams and needed as many things on our resume as possible to get a big 12 team in the playoffs because the conference sucks shit through a straw. Now that we’re not in that shitty conference and it’s abundantly clear a tough schedule doesn’t matter to get in with 12 teams, it’s time to clear the schedule and just play shitty G5 teams ooc.

    The SEC does not allow this. We have to have at least one P4 team. Take it up with Sankey but he's not removing that because he has a bunch of long time SEC teams that play out of conference in-state and border state rivals.
