It is quite amazing to see in real time. Hell, an SOS of 50+ is getting you a bye.
Texas at the Ath Dept level has never really been violently serious about national championships in football. we fuck around a lot and treat football as a nice to be good and have good kids that graduate. Football helped fund other sports to have even more good kids who graduate. no one gets too upset.
We'll see if that changes. There is a reason coaches say Texas is a top 2 or 3 job in college football.
Sark's seat is as cool as can be. He'll make 1 coaching change with akina because he needs to be pasture-ized. some day maybe we will get really serious.
I mean can you imagine Ryan Day surviving TWO 50 POINT assblastings to Michigan?
It is crazy that we wouldn't just schedule tomato cans when we will never have an SOS less than probably 25. teams with SOS in the 40's and 50's get in. we can play teams as good as tOSU, Mich, ND, Clemson, etc in Dec.
an unbalanced bracket shows even more how stupid this is. They don't even take SOS into account for that.
I think Oregon got the best draw all things considered.
we were always playing tOSU and Mich on the return game. Its the ND series that needs to be looked at. My guess is based on CDC comments we will keep it.
with G5 the 5 seed is still the best seed. you get a gimmie and then play the worst bye team. I think Oregon can be had but will be funny if they drill Tech.
Florida FPI is similar to Louisville and even SMU but people just look at the loss column.
we'd be out even if we lost to Vandy or OU or aggy. we can't even get in with one loss to a top 30ish FPI team and 3 top 15 wins.
the funny thing about aggy was their was a bunch of media run after they beat up LSU saying they might be the number 1 team but then they got pantsed by the team that lost to "OH THE HORROR!" Florida and now they are just a side note because everyone started looking at their schedule again.
The BCS still weighted losses too heavily. You can look at what the BCS computers would have had just last week. shock Texas is 15 and it is in loss order except for BYU. It is hilarious people keep arguing we should play a tough OOC game. All you do is potentially add a loss for no reason which is stupid. This is worse with super conferences because in the 10 and 12 team conf era teams eliminated themselves by mostly playing each other in conference and accumulating losses which the computers and pollsters punished.
the old "oh if we can't beat team X we aren't winning a championship" is BS, especially with NIL. well guess what MIami couldn't beat Louisville or even make their fucking conf champ game in the worst P4 conf, has an SOS in the 40's, and has a shot. right now they'd be favored against half the fleld. Tech is in with an SOS in the 60's.
We are idiots if we keep the ND series and don't change our scheduling with 9 conf games.
