    If the committee gets pressured to put Texas in to keep the out-of-conference games, what are the odds they make Ole Miss the fall guy to give Texas a spot? 

    If Ole Miss was a borderline playoff team in the 10-12 range, I could see that but the most I could see is the committee making them go on the road as a 9/10 and bump everyone up a spot. Those teams were all getting home games anyway except Notre Dame. 

  2. I agree that we'll keep Ohio State and Michigan. Completely agree that we should drop Notre Dame. We should not be in the business of allowing a team that has no conference structure to fight through to get credit when not winning games against big boy conferences. NBC would hate to lose the Texas game as Notre Dame isn't exactly killing it in the ratings unless they're playing an SEC team. 

    Maybe we get to 12 which gives the committee cover of well we had to put Tulane/North Texas in because of our rules that all the conferences agreed to.

    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.
