I disagree. Right now we’d be about 12. We would have dropped from 1 early in the season looking terrible. We’d drop out of top 10 after Florida and would land 12-15 after the Georgia loss. We are probably 15 on Tuesday as it is (note the two spots we move up this week aren’t available if we were at 12 already). ND stays ahead of us, OU beat bama on the road the same day we were embarrassed by Georgia, OU leap frogs us. Bama probably stays above us. BYU is 1 loss.
The Florida and Georgia losses are BAD. Now a Texas team that beats A&M with two losses is probably in, but Texas may still need help in that scenario - that’s what happens when you’re mid. If everyone ahead of Texas at 12 won on rivalry week, it’s 2 really bad losses vs 2 really good wins and a bunch of dog shit in the middle.
there’s no way the tOSU loss means nothing (I think the third loss has cost us about 3 spots come this Tuesday), but it doesn’t mean nearly as much as the rest of the season’s terrible losses and terrible wins.
That’s an impossibility. If Texas wins they don’t go to Atlanta.
