Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
We didn't have great personnel for it this year and didn't execute well. But it worked really well against A&M.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
But like, if the rules were better, we could get both. That's what everyone should want.

Didn't we play a decent amount of 12 personnel vs A&M?

Miami at 12 you say? Marco Rubio says CFP should be 'scrapped' if Miami doesn't make playoff I'm sure the threat of government taking over had no impact whatsoever on the discussions.

Or drop ND.

This is the actual answer and solves everything.

I think you're confused. The records indicate ranking at time for historical purposes. That's just documentation, not analysis. All the actual analysis is based upon what the teams turn out to be. Things like FEI, SP+, and you know, the actual playoff rankings, are all based upon the full season context. For our purposes, when comparing playoff resumes, you do that analysis based upon the complete picture. Suggesting otherwise is moronic.

Your method is stupid and indefensible.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
No. If we are looking at the quality of the wins to compare resumes, we know objectively that Auburn isn't a ranked win. Come on now. The point is to figure out what teams are the best and have accomplished the most, not brag over what were essentially preseason rankings. But shit, if we can just play pretend, I say we are still #1 because we were before week 1 was played.

That's the only rule that makes sense. I have no problem dropping that as 3 wins against the top 13 seems fine to me.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
As a fan of watching good football, I care. The rules should encourage interesting games. If the current rules don't, they should be changed. Again, I would count every game against an FCS opponent as a loss. This year, that means every team in the playoffs hunt other than Texas and Notre Dame would have an extra loss.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
No it didn't. Auburn is not a ranked team. Tennessee is not a ranked team. Their ranked wins as of today are #10 Alabama, #18 Michigan, and #25 mizzou. Ours are #7 A&M, #8 OU, and # 13 Vandy.

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.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Other Big 12 teams, including ones that have already been to the playoffs, haven't had that problem. Maybe Tech is just an asshole.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Well, fuck me. I suck at counting. Damn you and your soonering. It is still a stupid list.
-
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
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.
-
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
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.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
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.
-
Lane Kiffin to LSU?
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.

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.

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.
