Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
The Dog replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
The problem right now with 12 is the auto-bids. You need 16 for that to make sense. Right now the top 4 conference champs and best G5 champ are auto bids. That only leaves 7 at large spots and is problem when you have the logjam we have right now. I mean, even when they expand to 16 there will still be hand-wringing over the 16th team, but debating the last team in is the case for any number of participants. People lose their minds over the 68th team in the freaking basketball tournament and those teams have no shot at winning it all. -

Ironically while we thought we might be out if FSU won it was actually an Alabama/FSU discussion. They stayed true to their word that head to head mattered. -

I think we're out regardless, but a few things I find interesting: Miami and Notre Dame have really thin resumes as you pointed out. I think the Big XII is a one bid league and Tech might get left out if they lose to BYU. I'm very curious what they do with aggy. That ND win was doing all of the heavy lifting for them even as they were undefeated. They really don't have anything on their resume that stands out. If we're left out then aggy should fall to being a road team in the first round IMHO. -

One big difference between FSU 2023 and Ole Miss this year is that we all got to witness the horror of a Travisless FSU team whereas we don't get to see Ole Miss play without Kiffin until the playoff/bowl game. That said, there is absolutely precedent for dropping Ole Miss out of consideration due to the staff changes. ETA - dropping Ole Miss also screws Kiffin out of any bonuses he would have received for their performance in the playoffs. -

I agree with this take. The context of the games matters and we've played a very difficult schedule in the aggregate. My take on road games was more of "if I was on the committee and had to argue Texas' exclusion, then what would I use?" I was trying to come up with something legitimate other than three losses or the lazy "don't lose to Florida" take. That's what I was able to come up with. -

I admitted that they sucked. But so do Kentucky and Mississippi State and we looked like ass. We should have crushed those teams. Seriously, can anyone name one road game - regardless of the competition - that we looked competent other than the second half of Mississippi State? Anyway this is moot. We're being left out for three losses and these empty suits will dig no deeper. -

The strongest argument against Texas - other than just "hurr durr three losses" - is our performance on the road this season. We'd almost definitely play a playoff game on the road, so the committee would ask - can this team win a game against a playoff team on the road? We played five true road games this season, going 2-3, and losing to a team who fired their coach. We were blown out by Georgia and our "best result" was a 7 point loss to Ohio State. Not a good data point when your best result is a loss. And even the wins were suspect - we needed OT to beat another team who fired their coach and a big comeback and OT to beat a below average Mississippi State. Now let's look at some of the other teams: Oklahoma - wins at Tennessee and Alabama. Alabama - won at Georgia (this easily cancels out the FSU loss even though that loss is worse than ours at Florida) Notre Dame - blowout wins at Pitt and Arkansas. Yes, I know pig sucked but they did what you are supposed to do and destroyed them. Miami - blowout at Pitt and VT (again, they suck, but that's what you are supposed to do) While this isn't the only data point, it's a pretty strong one that doesn't work in our favor. -
tl;dw - He was ordered to give a POW in American custody to the Afghans and refused. The POW wasn't going to make it but since it was a POW in US custody he had an obligation to follow the Geneva Convention. He was a Lieutenant and a Captain gave the order, but the Afghan interpreter with the Captain was like "yeah yeah give him to us!" so he chewed out the interpreter so he wouldn't appear to be going after a superior. The Captain got the message. He also gives over My Lai and how that went down afterwards. In that, only the Lieutenant on the ground got real punishment and the superiors got off. Translation: Hesgeth and the Admiral will blame whomever was in charge on the scene.
