I think my first choice, as far as what's best for Texas, would be far right. Bye, then UGA/Indiana, then SMU/ND in the semis.

I think the change to the bye situation people are complaining about should be a compromise where they guarantee a top 8 seed to the top 4 conference champs instead of a bye. They should be guaranteed a bye or first round home game. 

Just no whining when Notre Dame gets a bye without beating any great teams and after losing to Northern Illinois. Based on last week's rankings that would be

#1 Oregon versus winner of #9 Tennessee @ #8 Boise State

#4  Notre Dame versus winner of #12 Arizona State @ #5 Georgia

#2 Texas versus winner of #10 Indiana @ #7 SMU

#3 Penn State versus winner of #11 Alabama @ #6 Ohio State

I haven't looked into the playoffs a lot, as I didn't want to get ahead of myself, but jebbus h christ, these playoffs are dumb. In projected cfp scenarios, if we win, we'd play the Georgia / Indiana winner in round 2. Oregon would play OSU / Tennessee winner. Meanwhile, ND would play High Tide for the chance to play Boise St? The fuck? And Penn State would play Clempson / SMU to play Iowa State? What kind of bullshit is this? It seems like it'd be better if we lost tomorrow. (I don't want us to, obviously.) 

Well, he’s a jets fan, so!

Interesting that they have Texas and PSU staying ahead of ND with a loss, UGA ahead of tOSU, and SMU ahead of Bama. They're basically taking the approach that CCG losses won't be penalized. I'm not so sure that'll be the case even though it should.

Also, do you mean the Michigan team that Penn State didn't have to play? The schedules are too unbalanced with the current conference setups. In this scenario Penn State loses to the same team Ohio State did and also lost to Ohio State. Ohio State lost to a team Penn State didn't even have to play. This is an easy decision. 

 

Can't they both just fuck off instead? Everybody wins.

That's decent. I like the Conference Champs being guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.  Just not a Top 4 seed. If you say "Top 8 only" they're guaranteed a home game OR a BYE.  That works.

God it would be so stupid if we play back to back games against UGA for a 3rd game. I hope Warde is willing to go against what he said to make OSU Tenn the 7/10 matchup if we win today.

Notre Dame with a loss to NIU will be behind Texas with 2 losses to UGA. Unless we get blown out or something.

And you think that's easier than literally getting a free win and then playing another game against anyone seeded lower?

It’s mind bottling how anyone that watched Vandy, Kentucky, Kansas, Syracuse all knock off top teams in their conference, watch 6-6 OU hold bama to 3 points, notre dame lose to northern Illinois, Ohio state lose as a 20 point favorite, would rather play an extra elimination game against a top 15 team.

So that was probably the best outcome for Texas. We now get a much easier first and second round game, had we won, we woudlve likely faced UGA again or OSU. 

 

We are very likely to face the 12 seed at home, followed by the 4 seed. The opponents will be two of these three teams (Clemson, Boise St, AZ State). That will allow us to build momentum before facing Oregon. If we beat Oregon, we arent losing to UGA for a third time or whoever comes out of the other side of the bracket.

So do we drop below Notre Dame? There are arguments both ways. 

Absolutely not, and the overtime loss just guaranteed we wont.

We will beat UGA if we play them in the title game. We dominated that game and it was basically a home game for them. Attrition is going to destroy that team by the time they get to the championship.

So we get ASU at home then Boise based on the Kford chart

Clemson at home, then Az St/Boise imo

God that would be great. But 1) we need intelligent refs, 2) Quinn actually hits his targets and look for more than his 1 read, and 3) We have to stop with the Cam "Mr Penalty" Williams.

It's like Sark doesn't learn from his mistakes. It's maddening..why use Arch to score against aggy, but a useless one against UGA? We legit probably could have scored with Arch.

This isn't an Arch/Quinn controversy, it's a reality. They didn't prepare for Arch so we had the upper hand. Just fucking retarded.

We've scored three TDs in eight quarters against them lmao. Where exactly are the points for this victory going to come from?

Why would Clemson be the 11 seed? Lol. They will be behind Bama. Texas will be the 5 and Bama will be the 11. 

They're going to get CCG winning bump from committee. Notre Dame if current results hold is 100% getting 5 seed

You are very confident about being very wrong. Clemson lost to two common opponents that Bama beat (UGA and South carolina) and played in a weaker conference. They arent gonna move ahead of them. 

 

ND will NOT be ahead of Texas who lost in OT and has both losses to the #2 team in the country, while ND has SOS in the 70s and a loss to NIU. Fuck outta here.

My predicitons have perfectly matched committee 3 weeks in a row....Only thing I'm unsure about is how they view Clemson as a CCG and if ASU will leap frog Boise for the 3 seed. 

Either way Boise/ASU is 3/4 and it's either Clemson or Indiana we face in Austin I think.

We drop to the 6 seed, get matched up against 11th-seeded Alabama in the first round...

...and probably lose. [ducks]

Highly unlikely. They will manipulate the bracket to put Bama against someone other than us. I strongly believe we will be the 5 seed but in the event we are not, it is very unlikely they match us with them.

Alabama might not make it if SMU can manage to make their loss competitive in the second half. ESPN push moved in SMU's favor today. 

I still think SMU should and does drop behind them but the political winds have changed and the committee lies if they say they don't pay attention.

They manipulate to avoid rematches, but we didn't play Bama this year. And Texas-Alabama is an irresistibly MASSIVE market draw.
