Lol, imagine giving a fuck about something like that after winning a title. I ask again, are you 12?
No, I'm 13.

You look like a weaker "national champion" when your own conference mate beat your ass twice in a season. Yes, truly a legitimate number one team for the ages.

Of course we'd all take a national championship, but two losses to Georgia cheapens it a little bit. One loss, fine. But two and we're just the playoff champion that was lucky to not have to play Georgia a third time.

Reminds me of '03 when both USC and LSU were "national champions." In the '05 season there was no doubt we were the best. I'm saying it'd feel a hell of a lot better if we got to beat them on the way there.

Ross Dellinger's an idiot. Those are horrible TV matchups and SMU isnt going to be in. No one wants to see Indiana at Texas. Same with Clemson at Penn St and SMU at ND. There would only be 1 premier TV matchup with Tenn at OSU in that bracket and they aren't doing that. Also, no one wants to see Texas and Georgia in the 2nd round.

A national title is a national title. Seriously, shut the fuck up.

This is fucking stupid. Imagine the Cowboys losing to the Eagles twice in divisional play and then winning the fucking Super Bowl. Nobody would give a fuck about Philadelphia.

Lulz... dude I call it now. If Texas goes on the win the title (which I'm NOT calling) you won't give a flying fuck about what happened in prior games against Georgia.

And Georgia ain't making the final. They aren't that good.

If Penn State is seeded above us, I will be annoyed.

No reason it should happen. 

I’m seeing a lot of people slotting Ohio State over Penn State (head-to-head) and slotting Ohio State over Texas. The possibilities truly are endless

I would be too. If beck doesn’t play we’ll be ready for the  backup. 
 

if they make it. But Kirby is really goid at coaching big games and I don’t know any team can beat them but bama, OSU, Oregon maybe and us.

Lol we beat Michigan who they lost to. Both our losses are to the #2 team, OSU lost to #1 and #90. We are ahead of them.

We choked that game away and they got lucky as fuck on a bunch of fumbles. And that was with us playing pretty poorly. Also it was in their backyard. Not worried. 

What happened in OUR backyard? 

It's moot, cause Georgia ain't making the final but Kirby out coached Sark twice this season already, and won in OT with a one armed hop along.

we will have to put an asterisk next to the year on the stadium.  maybe something like 

National Champions - 1963, 1969, 1970, 2005, 2024*(kinda weak one TBH)

None of it matters now. The next 4 games are the only thing that matter this season.

God I do not see how they would make Texas behind Penn st.  Not only were we ranked 2 and they 3 this week.  We lost in OT.  We shouldn’t be put behind them.

Exactly. We all remember how the 2011 New York Giants returned the Lombardi Trophy because they lost to Washington twice and didn't play them in the playoffs. 

Oh wait, no we don't remember that because they didn't give a fuck after they won the championship.

Nobody will care how we won a National Championship, you included.

I'm tired, I thought you were arguing with me. Read your post 3 times before I started laughing.

Put it on the wall.

I'm going to bed, fuck this dumb shit.

They won’t. Texas has a better resume than them by every possible metric. 
 

I could see them putting ND above us.

We will either be 5 or 6. No way we end up 7. And I find it VERY unlikely they put us at 6.

SMU odds keep creeping down in Vegas, down to -290, Bama at +210

Explain this like I’m 5…the -number is better than the positive?

Neither should be seeded above us.

1) We played a tougher SOS. 

2) Ohio State has a much worse loss (Michigan) and Penn State's loss (Ohio State) is worse than Georgia based on seeding. 

3) Penn State has struggled with some bad teams in USC, Minnesota, and Bowling Green (all single digit wins).

4) Ohio State didn't play for CCG.

SMU is favored. It means you have to risk 290 dollars to win 100. In Bama's case, you have to risk 100 to win 210. But that has swung drastically over the last hour towards Bama

CBS sports has us at 3..  lol 

Probably #3 overall, behind #1 Oregon and #2 Georgia. That means they have us at #5. That is correct.

Yeah, I agree.

I think you can justify ND being seeded above us even if it's debatable. Ohio State and Penn State should not be seeded above us.

I know it sounds crazy but the 7 seed might be an easier path to the championship game than the 5 seed.

If Beck isn't able to throw a ball in a month and you have multiple weeks to prepare for what they have? And after that you get one of Boise, Penn State and Clemson/SMU? I dunno. Sounds more appealing than a semifinal matchup with Oregon.

agree.  I think the committee should send a signal that we don't give a shit about ND but they won't.  the problem with 6 is the only logical 11 team is Bama, 7 pits us with Georgia in quarters.  my guess is we get 6 against Bama.  

I love how the number of losses matters greatly but who you lost to and where matters so little.

I think we get the 5 seed and Bama goes to Happy Valley.

I honestly think they don’t want conference games in round 1 and will manipulate accordingly. I also think they will try to avoid Texas and Georgia in round 2 for the third time.

with likely home games at Texas, Penn state, ND and Ohio State, that means having anyone other than Texas at the 7.
 

If Alabama gets in (likely at 11) they will move us to the 5 to avoid them and play Clemson at 12.

If SMU gets in we will be 5 or 6 likely against Clemson or SMU (or possibly Indiana).

If we draw SMU and then Boise State there are going to be so many people bitching about BOMC and how we rigged it. 

Thats why I want it.  Big Bad Texas getting a huge benefit is the only thing that will move the needle to change this to "conf champs get in, but we rank 1-12". Kirby Smart will be breaking down doors of the CFP and throwing laptops around the room.

To be fair, I think SMU, Boise, and ASU are all salty teams and could beat anyone in the field on a particular day but I think we can beat them on the lines, which only Georgia has been able to do.  I would love to run the table with that draw. play Georgia's backup in the final, win it all and watch the complete meltdown.

agree but we didn't play Bama this year so I think that is why they might do it.

Yeah, I had this same thought. I don't think they want SEC v SEC in round 1. They will adjust seedings to avoid it if Bama gets in.

SMU vs Texas is the juiciest 1st round match-up and you can easily make it work based on seeding. 

ready made story lines about how Texas caused the death penalty, Texas kept SMU out of the Big 12, Texas did this and that to SMU...etc.

I really want to hear the story about how Texas caused the death penalty. Texas was one of the few SWC schools that didn't get some kind of major probation at this time. Aggy was on major probation in three major sports and by rule of "lack of institutional control" should have gotten the death penalty. The only thing that saved them was that the NCAA saw what the death penalty did to SMU's athletic program, which was destroy it. The didn't want to do that again and Aggy survived.

The only thing Texas got in trouble for was when Marcus Dupree was on his recruiting visit to Texas, he walked out of a Western Outfitter store wearing a pair of full quill ostrich boots and the store clerk threatened to call the cops, so the assistant coach with him had to pay for the boots.

It was great that after Dupree went to OU, that in the Texas vs. OU game that a Texas linebacker not only knocked Dupree out of the game, but completely out of college football. He surfaced later in the USFL football league.

He didn’t play another play after his helmet lost 10 yards on the play. Bet he’s in concussion protocol for at least a week.

That's still one more play than Beck made all night. Agree with folks who said we did them a favor

That's Vegas taking advantage of stupid people. They set that number where they did inviting these dumb bets knowing full well SMU is out. I wouldn't be surprised if Vegas books have a direct contact within the committee and know almost for sure what it'll be.

They claim we turned them in on the pay for play deal...
