11. Bama

12. Clemson

 

My final prediction for the night. See yall in the AM. 

If you take the committee at their word on not punishing teams playing today #1-10 has to be correct.

It seems like most people think Georgia will “pick” the Sugar Bowl, but wouldn’t it make more sense for them to play in the Peach Bowl in their own state and basically a pseudo-home game?

I get that the Sugar generally is an SEC game, but I thought the schools can choose their pre-final bowls based on seeding.

Taking the Bowl QF ties into consideration, I think it shakes out

1. Oregon 

2. Georgia

3. Clemson

4. Arizona State

5. Texas

6. Penn State

7. Notre Dame

8. Ohio State

9. Tennessee 

10. Indiana

11. Boise St

12. Alabama

SMU deserves the 12 spot over Bama, and as a Texas fan Id rather face a little brother like SMU than the coach that ended our last two seasons with a loss. But it'll be Bama. No one gives a shit about SMU.

Texas narrative will be beat a big SEC legacy team (plus deboer) then the champ of our old conference. 

The Orange Bowl is gonna want Clemson instead of Boise

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

So what, it was obvious to anyone what was happening. Little SMU went from nothing to a power and anyone and everyone knew why. Even the Governor of Texas was in on it. Like it would never come out if Texas hadn't turned them in if they did. There have been documentaries made about what SMU did. That is totally asinine

The least exciting TV matchup. So probably the one with Indiana in it. 

The least attractive matchups will likely be scheduled for the first two Saturday games, i.e the ones broadcast on TNT and going up against NFL games. Friday and Saturday prime time will get the best two.

The SEC champ goes to the Sugar Bowl. It’s contracted, at least through this year.

I think we match up well with Bama as long as we put a spy on Milroe and run the ball accordingly on O.

Does Texas know that??? 
 

 

sorry still pissed from last night. Ima just say this, Texas offense imo doesn’t do well with big athletic defensive fronts, Ark, A&M and UGA.  Alabama falls into that category, I believe Bamas LB’s aren’t as good as UGA but their secondary is. Bama may be trouble counting on our offense to score points. Don’t look at how other offenses move the ball on teams, we don’t have that type of QB and if they can shut down our Running game we’re in trouble. Bama definitely has the players to do it to.

I would think the committee would try and avoid matching up conference teams in round 1. Of course this is the first year of the 12 team playoff but I would assume they would try to mix and match teams the best they can and not have same conference matchups until the semi finals. Maybe easier said than done but if they did that then they might drop Texas to 6 and avoid the bama matchup or have smu at 12 and keep Texas at 5. I’d be shocked if they leave bama out but I would love every second of it.

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.

It was Richard Peavy, a DB.

Uhhhh seems like that list is pretty hardcore punishing SMU, who played.

Here’s an Internet projection which I think might be accurate.  Of course, ND gets rewarded for not having to play for conference championship.  If selection committee has hard on for Texas, they probably swap Ohio St at #4 for us.

The Top 25 College Football Playoff Rankings

1. (13-0) Oregon Ducks
2. (11-2) Georgia Bulldogs +3
3. (11-1) Notre Dame Fighting Irish +1
4. (11-2) Texas Longhorns -2
5. (10-2) Ohio State Buckeyes +1
6. (11-2) Penn State Nittany Lions -3
7. (10-2) Tennessee Volunteers
8. (11-1) Indiana Hoosiers +1
9. (12-1) Boise State Broncos +1
10. (11-2) SMU Mustangs -2
11. (9-3) Alabama Crimson Tide
12. (11-2) Arizona State Sun Devils +3
13. (10-3) Clemson Tigers +4
14. (10-2) Miami Hurricanes -2
15. (9-3) Ole Miss Rebels -2

No. Are you 12? Why do they matter more than any other team? 

They beat us twice. A national champion with two losses to the same team in a season doesn't sound like a national champion.

CFB is now NFL-lite. No one cares anymore, losses don't matter.

13. (10-3) Clemson Tigers +4
14. (10-2) Miami Hurricanes -2
15. (9-3) Ole Miss Rebels -2

So for seeding, that would work out (someone tell me if I'm wrong):

1. Oregon

2. Georgia

3. Boise State

4. Arizona State

5. Notre Dame

6. Texas

7. Ohio State

8. Penn State

9. Tennessee

10. Indiana

11. SMU

12. Clemson

I can’t see five SEC teams getting in. The two best in the SEC didn’t look any better than the next 15 teams last night. 

 

max of 3 per conference is plenty

I get that the Sugar generally is an SEC game, but I thought the schools can choose their pre-final bowls based on seeding.

This is no longer a thing. The Sugar has to take the higher ranked of SEC & Big 12 (Georgia). Rose gets Big Ten (Oregon). What's interesting is the Big 12 should funnel to the Fiesta, but that would mean ASU goes there and I'm not sure CFP likes that. Here's their language:

  • The selection committee will assign the four highest-ranked conference champions to Playoff Quarterfinals hosted by bowls. This will be done in consideration of historic bowl relationships, then in consideration of rankings. For example, if the Sugar Bowl hosts a Playoff Quarterfinal and the SEC champion is ranked No. 1 and the Big 12 champion is ranked No. 3, the SEC champion would be assigned to the Sugar Bowl and the Big 12 champion would be assigned elsewhere.

There’s no way ND goes ahead of Texas or Penn State. 

The real question is who gets the 5 seed (and Clemson?), Texas or PSU? 6 seed gets SMU?

Yeah that one makes sense to me. At least, as much sense as it can make with Boise in the field with a bye…

This looks to be the most logical. Im going with this as well. Not the winners of course, just the seeding.

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.  

As was said above, the number of losses is just window dressing; we are all NFL-lite fans now.

Texas matches up well with Oregon imo. Just gotta get there.

Then maybe another chance to slay the red dragon.

On what planet? Ewers isn't going to win a shootout and Sideshow Bob isn't going to kick a winning field goal this year. And don't get me started on Sark's bullshit play calling

Who says it’ll be a shootout? Our D would dominate them. They’ve seen nothing like us, Ohio State doesn’t count. Gabriel might throw 2-3 picks.

You think Oregon going to score tons of point on our defense? 5 seed is the best path the the championship. Not having to play the one team built to beat us is our best bet

You think we are going to score a bunch a points with Ewers/Bert/Sark against an average defense  ?

The only team that will feel like they got screwed today is ND getting 6/7 from not being in a conference. Though I do think an ulterior motive for the powers that be is to force their hand into joining a conference. An Indiana/Georgia matchuo will accelerate their decision makers into making that decision

I don't trust Texas' offense against any decent defense. I wouldn't be surprised with any outcome against the top 6 or 7 teams.

I haven’t really watched any one else play except us. Who has a good defense in the playoffs that would give us trouble like UGA?

We’ve given up 100 yards to two people all season when back ups were in. Go back to the game thread with this take, don’t bring it here. Gabriel isn’t scrambling for shit against us. There is only one team in the country built to beat our offense and if they are on the other side of the bracket it won’t matter. No one else in the country is going to match our size, speed, and physicality.

I also think Texas helped weaken UGA. The QB is not bad but I don’t think good enough to win multiple games in the playoffs. There’s gonna be tape on him now.

Unless beck gets healthy but that arm didn’t look good. Also beck isn’t good.

So, you’re in the Joey McGuire “Watch the games!” School? The SEC teams are better. Alabama would drill SMU.
