  1. Agree they “shouldn’t” get in. But if you don’t think there will be immense pressure to keep the two time defending national champion with only 1-loss in the last three years out of the playoff, I don’t know what to tell you. If Bama blows them out, then won’t be an issue. But a close bama win, and just watch.
     

    If you thought 2008 was fucked, just wait. I hope to god we never find out.

    Florida State losing to Florida or Louisville gets us in

    I think this is only true if UGA beats Bama. If Bama wins, we’re fucked.

    They'll try to hire someone before the attempt to pull the rug out from Jimbo. They have 60 days. 

    Full dark side is Briles. 

    I don't think they have anyone lined up. They are just trying to get a jump on other schools. 

    True, Briles is full dark side. But literally nobody wants him. I could see Michigan St making a run at Urban.

    Haven’t looked at all the tie breaker scenarios, but how does a loss next week knock us out?

    I guess not knock out, but percentage really plummets and lose control of our own destiny. 

  5. We could have beat TCU by 50 tonight, but lose next week and we miss the rig12 championship game. A win is a win is a win.
    9-1, on to Ames. Winning by 1 is fine, as long as we win.

    Before you declare everyone stupid, maybe it would help to understand that everyone knows Georgia would drop behind us. The scenario being discussed if Bama passes us is Bama, Mich/OSU, Fla St, and Washington.  And that scenario is a very real possibility, as is Georgia, Mich/OSU, Fla St, and Washington.

    If bama beats UGA in a close fought sec title game, I can already see the hardcore politicking for making UGA the 4th seed. Two time defending champion whose only loss is to bama in the last 36 or so games. I actually think that is the ultimate disaster 2008 all over again scenario for us. It would be absurd for a 12-1 champ to be passed over by a 12-1 non champ, but prepare your anus for the “quality losses” argument and to sweat it out if that happens.

    If we are going to get jobbed out of even an appearance in the title game, my choice would be at isu. Will suck whenever it happens, but would suck even more to happen against tcu or tech. 
     

    Which is still my bet- unless we lay an egg and the refs don’t need to get involved to generate a loss. 
     

    there’s an easy path to two legacy left-behinds in that game and I think the league will take that opportunity and try to show everyone that the league is not just tx and ou, and get the best possible bowls for the remainders. 
     

    need to play well enough to overcome it, or make it painfully obvious even though  that won’t help. 
     

     

    If there’s truly intentionally ordered fuckery, it will be at ISU, maybe at TCU also. The Tech game and Big12 CCG are going to be high profile affairs with too many eyeballs given the timeslots they’ll be played. And if Texas is actually playing for a potential spot in the playoff in the CCG, I don’t see how there can’t be blatant fuckery without backlash. 
     

    At ISU feels like the type of game where literally nothing goes our way. Probably will be on FS1 or ESPNU, afternoon timeslot, where it’s only Texas fans and all 700 ISU fans watching on tv. I’ll never bet against the longhorns, but feels like taking ISU to cover the spread is free money, no matter the line.

    I feel like Iowa State is definitely our toughest opponent remaining and they are not good. They look fucking awful against Kansas. 

    They are goddamn awful. But mid November game, on the road, in the Rig12… scares ya to death

    I think Big 12 Champ game and a good bowl is our ceiling.  Don't see the playoff committee putting this garbage in over other 1 loss teams

    It was a back up QB. We have a legit excuse. Texas in the playoff is good for business. People need to realize if we win we’re in
