    Was not the case this year. It's a future scheduling rule. We could have played Rice instead of OSU  this year. 

    On future P4 game, I unfortunately agree.

    We should play mid-tier and lower. Teams that might be able to show us things to work on, but not legitimate threats to beat us, even if we shit the bed.

    No reason to risk a loss when the committee clearly doesn't care. 

    We should also play Rice every year with home games in Reliant for regular home games in Houston. 

    Third game should be a UT system school rotation.

    Virtually guaranteed 3-0 non conference lets you drop up to 2 SEC games and still go to the playoffs virtually every time. 

     

    The Southeastern Conference has established a scheduling format for the 2025 football season, it was announced Wednesday.

    Similar to the 2024 SEC football schedule, during the 2025 season teams will play eight conference games plus one required opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 or major independent.

    Yeah, CDC isn't putting anymore home games in Houston. It's not that far of a drive for Houston people.

    Any argument that says "don't schedule Ohio State" would also logically lead to "don't leave the Big 12 for the SEC."

    We would perpetually be a 10 win team in the Big 12 with this coaching staff and NIL funding. But we left didn't we?  

    It's not just about the path of learn resistance to the playoffs. Some people like to actually have good games to go to. Or to have a standard to hold yourself to.

    We kind of signed up for this, having dumb losses against teams like Florida. Struggling to beat Kentucky and Mississippi State. This is the grind we signed up for. 

  3. I don't want to lose the Ohio State and Michigan return games combined with us looking like bitches if we do it. I do think we should drop Notre Dame and I think other conferences should do the same. The fact that they get an auto-path with 2 losses and Miami might not make it in even though they have a head to head win shows that everyone needs to stop doing Notre Dame the favor of improving their schedule.

    Which p4 nobody is the best for vacation? That’s where that conversation is going to head so might as well start there. 

    Well Cal and Stanford are two good options if you like the Bay Area. Northwestern for Chicago. Rutgers you can hit up NYC. Boston College. Wake Forest if you want to see North Carolina. I'd love to play shitass UCLA again. 

  5. Some want to wave away Ohio State. Some want to wave away Florida. Some seem to ignore that losing badly to Georgia dropped us so far back that it's impossible to climb out without massive amounts of help. It wasn't our year. I can live with that. I still enjoyed beating OU, Vandy, and aggy. I'll enjoy the Cheezit Bowl against Michigan. I'll be annoyed if we're forced to play a spare boring Big 10 team like Iowa. I wouldn't mind seeing USC again.

    We'll probably get the Citrus Bowl vs. Michigan or the ReliaQuest Bowl vs. Iowa, with Vandy getting the other matchup.

    The Citrus Bowl independently gets first choice of non-playoff SEC teams. Have to think they'd prefer us to Vandy.

    I think it goes to conference record which we have over Vandy given the head to head. But I agree that they'll prefer a Manning and Texas to Vandy.
