People thinking a 2-loss Texas because "brand" is a shoe-in need to step back. In the 2-loss scenario where we lose to aggy, these are our comparables in the SEC:
10-2 aggy, who would own H2H vs. Texas AND stronger SOS AND is a big brand in terms of TV viewership (not as big as Texas but not so big to make a difference when they own H2H)
10-2 UGA, who would own H2H vs. Texas AND stronger SOS AND top 25 wins vs. (16) Clemson, (11) Tennessee, AND is a 5* brand just like Texas
10-2 Tenn, whose SOS > Texas SOS AND has top 25 win vs. (7) Bama AND is a big brand
10-2 Bama, whose SOS > Texas SOS AND has top 25 win vs. (8) UGA AND is a big brand
10-2 Ole Miss, whose SOS > Texas SOS AND has top 25 win vs. (8) UGA
vs.
10-2 Texas, who has the lowest SOS of the group and zero top 25 wins and in this scenario has taken the latest regular-season loss (and if that loss is to aggy won't have the chance to redeem it in the SECCG). We are a big brand though.
...SEC isn't getting 6 into the CFP. Probably not five. Who are the 2 you're leaving out of the list to put in Texas, if we lose to aggy? In that scenario aggy and probably Bama play the SECCG so they're probably in. 2 more spots. UGA gets one with the next-best resume. 1 spot left for Texas, Tenn, Ole Miss. I guess we could squeak over Ole Miss, barely?
