Looking forward to the ranking show tomorrow.
I can't wait to see the committee pussy out and leave Ole Miss in despite excluding FSU two years ago for losing their QB. They will hide behind not wanting to punish the players or some shit like that. And I agree the Ole Miss team should not be punished because Kiffin and LSU couldn't figure out a way to do this before Ole Miss was done playing for the season. But at the same time, they did it to FSU for an injury and this is the HC and most of the staff being out, which is a bigger loss to a team?
As far as Texas, I really thought there would be more of a push to get us in beyond some tweets and Sark's post-game comments. Regardless of which loss you think is keeping us out, the bottom line is that this 9-3 Texas being left out directly incentivizes power house schools to punch down when scheduling. And I think we will see fallout from that quickly. Especially with 9 game SEC schedules coming, it would be irresponsible to schedule P4 teams capable of beating you.
I also think a field of 12 where Texas would be favored against more than half of them on a neutral site but is somehow left out will get us to 16 teams quicker and loosen the stupid G5/ND wiggle room rules.
