    Actually,  no,  my argument makes perfect sense. This has nothing to do with Bama and OU. Ou lost to Texas, they should be bookended so as long as the discussion is who is getting in at large. Bama is playing for a bye, and the SEC Championship. Texas is not, neither is OU, neither is Vandy.  
    Texas is playing for an at large, just like OU and Vandy. Both of which, Texas skull fucked on the field. Neither should be ranked above us.  They should be behind us in the ranking.

    Even if OU wins on the road against Bama and Tenn are some how magically  more magnificent, they still got handled by Texas and are inferior, not by eye test, not by supposed sos (they aren't) not by quality wins. They lost to Texas. It is simple, linear logic. The mental gymnastics needed to get around the head to head loss is not circular logic it is contortionistic, intergalactic, species jumping, unadulterated horseshit.  

    Doesn’t make this not begging the question

    If you skip the caviar and the truffles, you can do it. Also, whoever started that stupid “we must have gravy” thing needs to be shot.  God’s ketchup is in everyone’s refrigerator and close to free.

    You put ketchup on oyster dressing?

    No it is not circular thinking. Nobody mentioned Bama. I said, OU and Vandy should be behind us. I said nothing about Bama. Bama should have been dropped after losing to Ou at home but I said nothing about this. The teams in contention we beat head to head should not be ranked above us. Nothing circular, pretty linear. 

    Your not saying anything about Bama does not mean they are not germane to the discussion. For your argument to  make sense logically bama has to be behind OU and therefore us but also ahead of Georgia, who must somehow also be ahead of us. You know, because of head to head

    Do you really think it doesn't? Because really you don't understand the argument or you are just done at loss record.

    Head to head should mean more on rankings. Vanderbilt and OU were bitch slapped by the Longhorns. Vandy and OU should never be ranked higher than Texas where a measure is needed to decide who is better. It was decided on the field.
    A one game difference in record is not the same as a 6 game record differential when comparing Texas to Florida.  Maybe we should not be in the playoffs, but neither should Vandy nor OU.   They should both be behind Texas. I believe ND being over Miami is bullshit too. They pulled this shit when we lost to Tech but beat OU. It was bullshit then and it is bullshit now.

    You seem to be arguing that a loss to someone outside the top 25 should not register when looking at good/bad wins and losses. Maybe I misunderstood you 

     

    as far as head to head it’s literally circular reasoning

     

    We beat OU who beat bama who beat Georgia who kicked the shit out of us

    It's about SOS my dude. Call it quality losses or quality wins or whatever you want. That's what this boils down to. Nobody in the group being talked about, Vandy, Utah, BYU, Michigan, wouldve fared any better than we did against our schedule. We are not being properly credited for it either. 

    We lost to fucking Florida. Two bottom dwellers took us to OT and we should have lost to MSU. I wouldn’t put money on our beating BYU or Utah or Michigan on a neutral field. Bitching about us not being in the playoffs is ridiculous

    I take care of a lot of active duty military and I guess what you would call contractors/consultants/whatever. Sometimes they just start telling me things and I will say should I know about this? They usually kind of chuckle and keep talking. I guess they figure HIPAA covers shit like that lol.
