    I’m a couple different types of fucked up right now, but why would we not root for Auburn to beat Bama?

    Because then it's a debate of 3 loss Bama vs 3 loss Texas and they beat the team that throttled us by 24 and we beat the team that barely beat them by 16. It's better for us that OU beat a 2 loss Bama team. 

  2. So rooting interest tomorrow is Ohio State to beat Michigan, Alabama to beat Auburn so that they get into the playoff, Pitt to beat Notre Dame, LSU to somehow summon up the ability to score on OU and win the game, Tennessee to beat Vandy, Arkansas to beat Mizzou.

    Well if you keep them on the schedule and beat them then aren’t you doing your part to keep them out of the playoffs more than if you cancel?

    Didn't aggy do that this year yet Notre Dame is going to make it if they beat shitty Pitt tomorrow.

    Guys, we made the playoff two years ago because we scheduled Alabama. Without that game we don’t make it in. I don’t think those games should be freebies where if you win it’s a tremendous advantage and if you lose it’s just an exhibition game and the result doesn’t matter. Just playing devils advocate.

    I think at a minimum we should drop Notre Dame. They should not get a single SEC team on their schedule going forward. Why give a team that has no burden to be better than SEC or Big 10 teams a free entry into the playoff every year. Notre Dame gets in by losing to the two decent teams they played this year. That's total bullshit.

    Do I think UT is a Top 12 team in the country? Yes

    Do I think the committee will vote 4+ SEC teams into the CFB Playoffs? No

    A team like UT being left out will be used as rationale to further expand the playoffs to 16+

    There will be at least 5 SEC teams. Bama, Georgia, aggy, Ole Miss, and OU. OU only is out if they lose to LSU tomorrow and if that happens, we drop into their spot.

  5. You know I was resistant to this idea until tonight. Sark is right. If Texas schedules Purdue, no one is saying Texas shouldn't be in the playoff with a win against OU, Vandy, and aggy. We would be ranked over all but aggy. But since we lost a 3rd game, we're behind OU and Vandy for a playoff spot even though we handled both and have better wins that both. That is a flawed system and it rewards shitty OOC scheduling. I would hate for the Notre Dame series to go away but that's the first thing I'm lopping off if I'm CDC and we get left out. Notre Dame gets the benefit of losing OOC games and making the playoffs yet it penalizes us when we lose by 7 in the first game of the year to the #1 team in the nation. Total bullshit. The Florida loss is not a factor if we're a two loss team.

    I hate the coaching carousel. Watching the North Texas game. Their HC is gone and they might be playing for a CFP appearance. Morris will almost certainly take their QB with him after the season. 

    Tulane could be a similar position by tomorrow. 
     

    So now the CFP matters, but only at certain places? This is damaging  the sport. 

    North Texas and Tulane will always be stepping stones. That didn't change because of the CFP. Morris is staying on through the CFP, just like Sark did during Bama's run when he was named our HC.
