    Another way of looking at SOS. If it matters to the committee and head to head matters like they said, then it may be enough for Alabama to overtake FSU with their undefeated championship win. I have it like this. This way, OOC games will continue to be scheduled like Texas and Alabama or tOSU and Oklahoma, otherwise teams won't do that, especially when the playoff games expand. Going undefeated to earn your spot should very important but does it overcome the other two factors? Remember the TCU example when they gave them the nod for going undefeated in a weak ass Big 12 year. I'm sure the committee remembers.

    The counterpoint to your OOC games argument is FSU/LSU, which FSU won.  The SEC shit the bed in meaningful OOC games this season.  That should matter, but we'll have to wait and see if it does to the committee.  To be clear, Texas is in, and the last spot will come down to FSU and Alabama.

    I'm not worried about Georgia right now. This year, all 5 P5 conferences are in play. Usually is never like this. No way they allow a non conference champ to get in over a conference champ with the same record.

    Remember, we were behind Oregon all this time. And so many said no way the committee changes their mind this late to push us ahead of Oregon if we both won this weekend. Well, that's now the same scenario with us and Bama, except we are now Oregon in the Texas/Oregon discussion.

    This, only we actually deserve to be ahead of Bama, unlike Oregon being ahead of us.

    Nah. 

    Let’s go meteor. 

    Or a nil-nil draw with 10 red cards. 

    This is the answer.  Nil-nil is always the desired result when two highly positioned clubs not named Arsenal play.  Second best result is Spuds 1-nil over City, but that's like rooting for aggy to beat Bama.

  4. While we are at it, I did the math, and I'm fairly certain that we are going to have to score more points than Oklahoma State if we want to have a good chance to win.  Someone should let the coaches know that they should focus on scoring the most points.  Allowing fewer points to be scored against us may also be beneficial but I haven't had time to crunch the numbers.

    I mean you may not know when its last task, but you def know the 1st task isn't the last one.

    Absolutely.  I didn't see anything particularly difficult about the Maypole challenge, and they definitely should not have used the EP there.  It sucks that they didn't really get to take advantage of it, especially since dad almost had a heart attack earning it.  Saving it for the last leg was the right move, but it wouldn't have helped them much regardless of which task they skipped.

    I would have kept it until the very last task because you know exactly where you stand and can then zoom past other teams......all you have to do is make sure you aren't last leaving the maypole thing

    I don't think they have any way of knowing they are on the last task until they finish it and receive the clue to travel to the pit stop.  All the tasks were relatively quick and easy, so they weren't going to gain much time no matter when they used the express pass.  There really wasn't much of an advantage to having it on that leg. 

    It would have been interesting to see how things might have played out if they completed Maypole, and were on their own or with the beards instead of with dad/daughter when navigation on foot broke down.   Dad/daughter struggle with navigation, and can't make up time on foot because dad is dad-aged.  The smart play might be to just follow them and then outrace them to the mat at the end.  That only works if you can hang with them in the tasks which isn't always the case.
