Well, to be fair you have four teams from every Texas HS district get in the playoffs. That kind of eliminates any chance of error. We're trying to seed a 12-team tournament from 125+ teams. There are 247 Class 6A high schools in Texas right now -- 128 of those make the playoffs, I think.
This is sarcasm, right?
Agreed. I hated seeing FSU get left out due to the QB getting hurt. They were 13-0 after all. I would've had no big issue with them getting in as long as it was FSU vs Bama for the fourth spot and not FSU vs Texas as we feared. Fortunately, the H2H with Bama appears to have been a factor but Travis getting hurt might've just given the committee the out it was looking for. It would've been criminal for Bama to be in the Final 4 and not Texas. The issue was that FSU getting in effectively gave somebody a huge advantage in the semifinal, if not a full-on "bye" to reach the championship game.
Also, if Ole Miss doesn't make it because Kiffin left that would be a goddamn travesty. In reality, Ole Miss's resume isn't that great. The one win of note is beating OU in Norman. The Rebels have played two games against teams in the current Top 25.
