8 Oklahoma - feels like the committee just swapped them and Bama due to h2h.  But the truth is that Bama has a top 10 SOS and I don't think h2h overcomes that.  I'd swap them back.

 

 

Lol, OU 100% should be ahead of Bama, they won a head to head road game not even two weeks ago on the road. Results on the field matter.

No they wont

They lost to a worse Michigan team, at home, literally last year as the eventual national champion. They haven't beaten Michigan since 2019. If you think this isn't a concern for them, you're delusional.

I didnt say it wasnt a concern. What I said was they will win. And they will. I will wager whatever you want on that.

I don't think h2h should be over-emphasized.   It's usually misleading because the close team with the h2h win typically lost to a worse team. It's in the same league as cherry-picking transitive property.

To settle ties, sure, but I don't think this is a tie.

I disagree with the transitive properties of football.
That ASU game had Dillingham working Joey McGuire like a motherfucker.  Y'all would have enjoyed it immensely if you had seen it.
It also had Sam Leavitt going for 319 and a TD. Jordyn Tyson had 10rec for 105 yards and a TD.

There hasn't been a similar performance by Tech this season, or by an offense being that productive against Tech's defense.  ASU possibly played its best game of the season.  The game was worse than the score indicates.
IMHO, that's exactly why the playoff system is worthwhile.  It allows for that one-off game where injuries, being on the road, or whatever hits your team.

Tech is in the playoffs because Texas and Oklahoma are no longer in the Big12. All I want to hear from you people is thank you.

Tech is swimming in money and will have  basically a cakewalk to the CFP every year, while we have to be Georgia’s gimp in the SEC. The move was pretty clearly very short-sighted.

ever benevolent.  LOL

Imagine the current discussions of how the new refs and Conference digs don't suit you.

FWIW, on Friday, I deeply hope you beat their ass.

It's fun to wade hip-deep through the argumentation. No doubt about it. 

The best part is that it'll never stop as long as the Beauty Contest System continues. 

Two teams? You're fucked because you're third most beautiful, biggest cup size, least knobby knees... whatever.

Four teams? Fucked at fifth. Twelve teams? Left out at thirteenth.

Let errybody in, at 128 teams. That's seven weeks of playoffs and nobody gets left out.

Plays the #1 defending national champion on the road to a 1 score game and fall short on the final drive of the game and you have the absolute fucking gall to suggest we wouldve lost to Minnesota?

Get our asses handed to us by a 3-8 Florida squad whose only wins are us, MSU and Long Island University and you have the absolute fucking gall to suggest we would've beaten Minnesota?

Oh, you mean the Florida team loaded with 5 star talent where we had a bad game and they caught us off guard? The same Florida team that shouldve beaten Georgia if it werent for shitty calls going UGA's way? Let's also not compare a league game and season opener. And maybe Manning doesnt get the yips if he doesnt get put in the largest spotlight imaginable in game 1.

Michigan has ZERO wins over a ranked team this year. Texas has 2.

Michigan was handled easily by OU, whom we beat.

Michigan lost to OU and was blown out by USC. Texas has lost @OSU, @GA and @UF.

Don’t give me the close games argument. Michigan survived by 3 points again Nebraska, 5 points against Purdue, and 2 points against Northwestern.

Why again should Michigan be ranked ahead of Texas? There is ZERO rational justification for doing so.

Michigan doesn't matter. It will take care of itself one way or another. Either they will get a 3rd loss and fall behind us (assuming we beat aggy) or they will have a W over the #1 team that beat us and rightfully stay in front of us.
