  1. That's literally what happened.
  2. I maintain that anything under FBS should always be counted a loss. That solves a lot of problems. It encourages playing better opponents. It punishes playing scheduling completely bullshit cupcake games. There are plenty of full division 1 teams to pick up from. A&M has 2 losses (Samford) Alabama has 3 losses (E Illinois) Indiana has 1 loss (Indiana St) Georgia has 2 losses (Austin Peay) Texas Tech has 2 losses (AR-Pine Bluff) Oregon has 2 losses (Montana State) Miami has 3 losses (Bethune) Ole Miss has 2 losses (the citadel) Oklahoma has 3 losses (Illinois State) BYU has 2 losses (Portland St) Utah has 3 loses (Cal Poly) Vanderbilt has 3 losses (Charleston Southern) And so on. Texas and Notre Dame are the only teams in the playoff picture that haven't sullied their record with that bullshit. The fact that everyone else has tells me my idea is the correct one.
  3. Other Big 12 teams, including ones that have already been to the playoffs, haven't had that problem. Maybe Tech is just an asshole.
  4. Well, fuck me. I suck at counting. Damn you and your soonering. It is still a stupid list.
  5. But it would be wrong that way too. OU didn't play 6 teams that were ranked at the time they were played. It only gets to 6 if you count Texas. But if you count Texas, there should be 2 losses.
  6. Uh, what? That list is stupidly wrong. As an obvious one, OU has two loses to the top 25 unless we are saying either Texas or Ole Miss aren't top 25. That list is also considering Tennessee and Auburn as top 25 based on when they played as opposed to, you know, how the season turned out. A&M has only played 3 current top 25. Miami has played Notre Dame and that is it. Apparently, this listing was counting 5-7 Florida State, 8-4 Pitt, and 9-3 South Florida as top 25 teams. None of these teams are currently ranked. We are correctly listed as 3-2 against the top 25. But is actually 3-2 against the top 13.
  7. Unless the law has changed recently, it is a fiduciary duty. Or at the very least associates at a law firm have a fiduciary duty to the firm (as we know from disputes between some Houston lawyers). I assume that applies more broadly, but maybe lawyers are special in that regard.
  8. Maybe breach of fiduciary duty (good argument under Texas law, don't know about Mississippi). But I don't see tortious interference. Limitations on choosing employment are pretty tightly restricted at this point. Even a really good non-compete clause may not survive scrutiny here. He'll be better than Kelly.
  9. I didn't do the SECSECSEC thing. Tennessee isn't a great team. But it isn't terrible. I'm trying to understand the universe where getting crushed by Bama makes a team bad. Is that somehow worse than losing to Arizona State? And I honestly don't know what playoff caliber means in the current format. Vanderbilt is a better team than whoever will get in from the G5 and the ACC. It is a better team than BYU. Honestly, Vanderbilt's resume isn't that different from Tech's. It crushed a bunch of mediocre teams, including wins over a couple fringe top 25 teams (Missouri and Tenn). The primary difference is that we haven't yet seen Tech match up against teams with the talent level of Alabama or Texas. And I'm not saying Tech doesn't deserve a playoff spot or isn't a good team. I'm saying your dismissal of Vandy of odd. The stats, adjusted or otherwise, have them as one of the best offenses in college football and the most efficient. And they have a legit Heisman contender at QB.
  10. If Florida had played a little closer to its talent level and had another win or two (and less getting blown out), I think we'd have a much better shot of getting in. It isn't necessarily the third loss that kills us. It is the third loss being to a team that played like garbage outside of a couple games. I still think Notre Dame should be out.
  11. I mean, they just crushed a decent Tennessee team. They played Alabama pretty well too before giving up that late TD. There aren't 20 teams better than Vanderbilt. That offense is legit brutally efficient, and Pavia's improv skills are deadly.
  12. I think beating a 3rd top-10 team does give the committee some pretty good ammo to have us jump them and maybe re-evaluate whether we should have ever been behind Vanderbilt in the first place. I think we end up likely end up 11, but booted by Virginia and G5.
  13. Or maybe someone looks at Notre Dame's schedule and realizes it is getting eliminated in the first round. Notre Dame viewership money doesn't do anything if the team ain't playing past the first round. That's ultimately the correct answer to the puzzle.
  14. Bama is beating Georgia. It is what they do.
  15. You mean before it lost its best 2 programs by far? At any rate, no one was saying the big 12 was great 3 years ago. Over 15 years ago before alignment fucked with it, sure.
  16. So what's the 5%? Georgia beats Alabama and Alabama gets left out? Committee says fuck Ole Miss? Someone finally realizes Notre Dame's best win is... uh.. USC I guess?
  17. I mean, the models still have Texas losing to Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, and A&M, so I guess the models aren't all that great at predicting this team.
  18. Seriously.
  19. Fucking Coleman.
  20. Holy shit, he got that barely.
  21. Why on earth are people rooting for SMU? What is wrong with you people?
