TCU was not the conference champion and a one loss team, lost their game before the CFP. If you hate my take even more reason why the dog FSU should be in. Who is to say their defense won’t keep it tight and their RBs run the ball well enough to win?
I’m no fan of the committee. I think they’ve screwed many teams over the life of CFP.
TCU was not the first nor the only non-conf-champ to make the cut.
The 20/20 hindsight about TCU is based on the ass-kicking delivered to them by Georgia.
And I believe the win over Michigan prior to that ass-kicking validated them being there.

I just don’t see how you do that to a P5 undefeated it’s not like TCU one loss not a conf champion who had no business last year.
I hate this take.
TCU handled Michigan pretty easily.
What Georgia did in the final is irrelevant to the conversation

the ACC was ass all year by far. #5 SOS conf, SEC was #1. They actually looked at something other than the loss column.
of course this isn't the committee's fault. They should have been at 8 teams 25 years ago.
Big difference between the 5th and 55th sos
it wasn’t 5 vs 15
it the 5th vs 55th!!!!
That nearly half of all CFB between them.

You have more faith than me if Bama wins. I feel like they aren’t leaving out the SEC champ no matter what.
their justification-Bama win vs. Georgia > Texas win vs. Bama
no
the justification will be that the UT loss to OU > Bama the loss UT > the UGA loss to Bama

Ohio State absolutely has a path, which is why it's telling they're ahead of Texas and Bama in today's rankings. They probably only need wins by Oklahoma State and Louisville to slide into the fourth and final spot. It would be Michigan, Pac-12 champ, SEC champ and them.
I missed my edit window and my brain hurts to try and correct my error with further explanation but what you point out isn’t it as I was focused on Texas’ path which by default begins with a win vs oSu.

There’s a metric regarding non-champs that you all are forgetting - having a reg season win over the champ - applies to Wash/Oregon but only them.
And no one is projecting Wash to make it if they lose.
Georgia is the only potential CCG loser with a shot at making the top 4 and that’s because they are currently #1 - if they were 2 or lower the odds would increase for them to miss out - but they are currently #1 so they have a shot.
No one else has a shot as a non-champ - tOSU, sorry you’re out - you have zero path.
other CCG participants, doesn’t matter if your lone loss is in the CCG - lose and you’re out.
Except UGA, and we’ve already discussed them.
So, conference champs.
I think Bama is in with a win.
and if Wash, Mich, and FSU all win - they’re in and Texas and UGA are out.
If two of those 3 lose, UT and UGA are both in.
But if just one of those 3 falls, then obviously a 1 spot opens up and I can see a scenario where UT’s loss to OU weighs more than their win over Bama and over #1 Georgia’s lone loss being to the conf champ Bama. UGA in, Horns out.
So, Texas best shot? Go Cardinals
Equally good for Texas but less likely to happen - Go Haweyes
An Oregon win? I agree that Texas chances here are massive with a win over SEC champ but I don’t trust the committee to again rank that win over the negative loss to OU vs the Duck’s loss to Udub.

Keep ‘em coming - the Yormark and McGuire memes and vids - not only are they well deserved, most of them are hilarious. 🤣
Now that the Tech/UT series is officially over - or at least paused - I wanted to take a minute to say thanks to you Horns for letting all us “outsiders” hang out here and the various other versions of the site. I hope the welcome sign stays on going forward.
I’m not gonna look it up but you all know how lopsided this series history has been. And in the handful of Tech wins that have occurred, none have approached a 50 point beatdown.
I say that to say that that’s why it’s always seemed to be a bigger deal to Tech than to UT - or as y’all like to say, “Tech’s superbowl” - because frankly, it was a big deal. It happened so rare. Tech’s next 5* recruit will be their first so I’ve always found it amusing the disdain you Horns had regarding this.
Winning is hard. Winning at an elite level is even harder. Few programs can do it and sustain it.
So when you hear the fans of the remaining schools say they aren’t gonna miss UT and OU, it’s not meant as an insult, it’s more like one big giant exhale. It’s a completely new landscape now full of new challenges.
I’m gonna be real curious going forward to see:
a) how the parity of the new Big12-4+2+4-2+4 plays out over the years. We got a taste of it this year. It’s gonna be highly entertaining but 10-2, 11-1, or 12-0 seasons will probably be rare.
b) how the concentration of the blue bloods into fewer conferences shakes out as well - they can’t all go undefeated, right?
(I know, the expanded playoff now means that they don’t have to)
I say all that to say that this Techsan wishes you all well and to remember that there’s one thing neither of our schools will ever get tired of...

I know the Sooners aren’t yet eliminated from CCG but...
Bedlam being moved up a couple weeks really screwed them - they are humming and the Gundys are a sinking ship
-
I know oSu has it now but
I couldn’t hear - what did they end up ruling regarding the onside kick?

talk me off the cliff, if this game goes to the wire, are there going to be pundits saying the loser will still be deserving of a playoff spot?
Of course!
It’s what they do

Exactly what’s wrong with the rule - no one knows what a catch is anymore

He caught it and established control outside of the endzone. Going to the ground isn’t part of the equation.
Except that he didn’t
ball was moving the entire time

ARTICLE 3.

To catch a ball means that a player:
-
Secures control of a live ball in flight before the ball touches the ground, and
-
Touches the ground in bounds with any part of his body, and then
-
Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent, etc., and
-
4. Maintain control through contact with the ground

Guess the B12 ain’t the only “rigged” conference

CU defense has been playing great?!?!

I watched Tom Brady basically tell the refs to throw flags on the other team for years and they scurried to do his bidding.
Now I guess since Mahomes and the Chiefs are the new prima donna darlings of the NFL, they get to have hankies tossed to bail them out w/e they need it. Helped 'em win the Super Bowl back in February. Now it's helping them squeak past the Zach Wilson led Jets when Mahomes is playing like ass.
Call me a Tech and Mahomes homer but...
In both cases, the DBs actually did jam and grab the receivers at the LOS
Call it ticky tack if you want but if you don’t want it to be called - DON’T DO IT!!!!
(however, a 5 yd penalty shouldn’t come with an auto first down - that rule should be changed)

How different would history be if all championship series were tallied this way.
I mean hell, golf does it. Why can’t the other sports?

This is no doubt true in our world of widespread ignorance. But they were never going to pay Leach. To suggest otherwise is fatuous at best. Leach underestimated how petty and self destructive (and destructive of what they professed to defend) the people who ostensibly want the best for Tech were willing to be. He may have been happier in the final analysis; he received better treatment elsewhere once he got back into coaching.
Things had soured, no doubt.
But I cannot say with certainty that had he served the suspension that a firing would still have occurred.

It wasn’t a both sides issue, and I’ve yet to see a single person that “forgets” Leach was suspended first. What people do forget to use is the word “wrongfully.” As in “Mike Leach was wrongfully suspended and subsequently wrongfully fired.” Yes, there are certain defenders of the faith in Kent Hance and Craig James’ provably false make believe and pretend bedtime stories that do indeed forget to use that word. But that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Sports bring out the stupid in everyone. After all, there are still people who believe in Mike Nifong.
Ok, perhaps no one has forgotten.
But I can garrandamntee you that 14 years later there are folks that have no clue whatsoever about the suspension
-
Why now???????
-
Of course, Mike could have waited a day, and therefore still qualify for the bonus due to still being employed instead of taking Tech to court over being suspended - not fired - suspended - which occurred first and people conveniently forget happened.
There was dumbassery by all parties involved.

I didn’t bring up TCU, was just responding to other TCU comments.
And I haven’t said that FSU wasn’t screwed. But I have stated that I understand the SOS between Bammer and Tomahawk being a big factor.
