FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)

It’s funny how perception works. This has been Ole Miss’ conference journey:

-Loses at home to a horrible Kentucky team
-Plays South Carolina with Sellers playing through injury
-Loses to a horrible LSU team in a game where they had a 96% win probability at one point in the 4th quarter 
-In a 16-14 game at home halfway through the third quarter against the worst Oklahoma team in 25 years
-Smoked Arkansas in a game where Taylen Green got hurt and Ja’Quinden Jackson didn’t play
-Beats Georgia at home

So they lost to two bad teams, played two backup or hurt QB’s, played with their food against OU and got up for one game against Georgia and all of a sudden they are now a lock for the playoff. Of course add in their non conference slate of Furman, Middle Tennessee State, Georgia Southern and Wake Forest.

It’s funny how in the eyes of some, winning one big game apparently excuses losing to two horrible teams.

OU is similar to Texas in that they're at the mercy of which version of their QB shows up. Our QB is much, much better so that masks much of the comparison, but Arnold has shown brief flashes of competency.

and now they go play a Florida team that may have figured some things out after two weeks of everyone telling them how wonderful they are.

They'd never lose to a 3rd tier conference team like Florida

excuse me sir but those are two "SEC horrible" teams klan lost to!

SEC top 15 team win - worth  10billion internet/media playoff points

SEC unranked team win - worth 10 points

SEC horrible team win - worth 2 points

SEC horrible team loss - worth 0 points

SEC unranked team loss - worth -2 points

SEC top 15 team loss - worth -11venty trillion points(if your only loss)

Russillo got pretty spicy yesterday. Did y'all realize Indiana has played 0 games against the top 7 in the B10?

Can't say I disagree with much he had to say.

I can't imagine anyone with a functioning fucking brain thinking that Indiana, Notre Dame and Penn State are all better than BOTH Bama and Georgia. (fixed)

We need divisions or pods or something in the P4. Especially if this is how lazy the committee is going to be with W/L records.

I mean #4-#13 in general is just awful. What is Boise State even being ranked that high for? Losing to Oregon? Congrats. They don't have ONE P4 win. Explain to me why they are ranked ahead of teams like Colorado or Clemson. Let alone BYU and SMU.

Just checked - BSU doesn't crack the top 20 in FPI, Sagarin or SP+. BYU isn't very highly rated advanced-metrics wise but they are still a 1-loss P4 team with an OOC win over a top 15 team.

Nonsense. According to The Committe Notre Dame would at worst have gone 5-1 against Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida and Kentucky. Oh and Clemson. 6-1. 

Do not question The Committe.

Missouri staying at #23 after losing to South Carolina is apocalyptically stupid.

also SMU's one loss is to BYU. Guess who they're ranked ahead of? 🤦‍♂️

It is so predictable with the won/loss records as it will now relate to SEC, BIG Ten, and ACC.   It is funny that Big 12 is viewed as basically barely above G5.

Nothing has really changed.  loss column rules all.   Indiana is low because A) they are new money and B) they know next week will clear all that up.  one loss for New Money with really shitty SOS will drop them pretty big.

ACC? Miami is overrated. Past that they have the highest G5 team ahead of the 1st place team in the ACC. They are telling us that the B12 and ACC each get 1 bid.

Which - outside of BSU's bs ranking - I don't think the ACC or B12 should be necessarily getting more love. I think the main - glaring - issue is the B10 and ND being slotted ahead of all but the #1 SEC team when those teams are playing candy-ass fucking schedules.

Did that loss to Northern Illinois actually happen?  Maybe I dreamed that ND lost to them.

gonna be real funny also the gymnastics if for some reason we lose to aggy.  they are leaving aggy at #15 for a reason.  I can see this happening

Texas loses to aggy, rest of SEC is chalk and Bama beats aggy

Big Ten chalks out through champ game with OSU beating IU this week, and Oregon beating OSU again in champ game - so OSU has 2 losses, both to #1.

ACC chalks out with Miami beating SMU

what do they do with Texas, Tenn, aggy?

yes I know Miami is overrated that is why I said they are giving ACC closer to SEC/BIg Ten type respect.  Big 12 is getting G5 type respect..

and just to be complete Notre Dame is getting the usual Notre Dame bump.  I know it is a playoff now but we are back to "how do you win a national championship?  First Notre Dame has to lose."  #6 with a loss to NIU at HOME is fucking hilarious.

That All State Playoffs projector thing has us at a 75% chance to make the playoffs if we beat Kentucky but lose to A&M. Seems high.

Fuck these writers, Texas shouldn't get in if it loses to aggy.  How the fuck can you know that.  What if Texas loses by one because the referees fuck up?  Who knows what the results of the other games will be?

 

Cocksuckers

Shit like this is why I keep saying absent some upsets resulting in 5 SEC teams making it (and even then not a done deal), i don't really see how Texas gets in losing @ Aggy.  It's really pretty simple.  Michigan and OU both having their worst teams in years fucked the resume this year.   Just gotta win.

And? What are Indiana’s top 25 wins? 

The teams in the top 6 have 0, 1, 1, 1, 0 and 1 loss

Georgia has 2 losses. They are in the 2 loss group that includes Bama, Ole Miss and Tennessee. They lost to Bama and Ole Miss and beat Tennessee

When and if Texas loses a 2nd game, they will likely fall below Georgia and miss the playoffs if that 2nd loss is in CS and not Atlanta

This is the correct answer.

Plus we won at Michigan (not our fault they suck), at Arkansas (which Tennessee did not), at Vanderbilt (which Bama did not) and beat Florida handedly, who Tennessee and Georgia both struggled with.

If Texas beats the brakes off Kentucky, well, that was a team Ole Miss lost to and Georgia struggled with.

We beat OU by 31 in a heated rivalry game where wild things happen. Tenn only won by 10 and Ole Miss only won by 12

It is not our fault we played an easier SEC schedule - blame the conference schedule makers. Michigan was a marquee matchup before Harbaugh left. Texas is beating teams they should and only dropped a game against a top 5 UGA. We do not have losses to unranked SEC teams (like Bama and Tenn and Ole Miss) or 2 losses (like Georgia, one of which was an 18 point loss and the other, they were down 30-7)

That's it. Lose and it's a shitty bowl. Win and in.

It's not that complicated. You can mind twist all day long. You can go full aggie and bitch about the anti-UT BOMC or the reality that it shouldn't be the case. But accepting the reality is what I've done, personally. Cause win and in is easier than all thr other shit. 

I acknowledge that this year, 2 loss Texas isn't getting into the CFP. 

And... they shouldnt lose. I'm of the opinion if they do, they don't deserve to be there anyway. (Yes it's true for other teams as well)

IU is gonna beat OSU, imo. And I am confident there are other "upsets"/upsets coming. Won't predict any others but this cake is not fully baked just yet.

This highly depends on the 2nd loss. If it’s in CS, we out. If it’s in Atlanta, we lose the first round bye but still make the playoffs

I'd agree that Georgia is too low.  Seems like the committee isn't putting much weight on "quality of loss" and I think that should matter.  I'd probably have Georgia one spot ahead of Bama and both those 2 in front of Old Miss and Tenn.  Georgia has more quality wins and their losses are also better.  And Notre Dame (and arguably Miami) should be behind all of them.  Georgia hasn't looked great in several of their wins, so I guess it's back to eye test being a big factor.

Sorry, yes, I agree. Win and in =  next 2 games.

In fairness, Fla started some kid from Yale at QB.

But I get your point.
