Texas is really a committee problem if there are no major upsets and Texas beats A&M and finishes fifth in the league.  Vandy and OU are head to head behind Texas but higher in the CFP rankings. You’ve also got the question of diversity of conference representation. There’s no way 6 are getting in, heck 5 is a stretch. Currently Texas is the 7th highest SEC team in the CFP rankings and 5th in the standings.  Shit the SEC only got 3 last year. 5, 6 or even 7? Pretty hard to see it. Not sure the “committee” is ready to call it that way. Maybe they should.

you're alive!

i wondered how long it would take for you to surface

i have a question for you......

ensign peak advisors currently has 293 billion under management.....

has there been any talk of the first presidency going all in on nil?

Not sure where you get your info, funds under management are pure speculation. Let's say it is 200B+. You ever heard of the Parable of the Talents? We are good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. Deal with it. 

The current president of the church was formerly the president of BYU and supports BYU, but BYU athletics are self-funded and supported by generous donors. No church funds are used for athletics. We run our athletics in the black, unlike many in the Big 10 and elsewhere. We have a number of billionaires (mostly quiet about it) and lots of multiple-hundreds-of-millions millionaires that generously give and support.

You sound annoyed that BYU is ranked higher in both football and basketball than UT.

Proving that you dont belong in the field because you literally cant beat one of the weaker CFP teams in Tech, meanwhile Texas will be 2-2 against CFP teams with the only losses coming to the #1 and #2 teams in the country on the road. 

Tech barely lost to a very good ASU team and Tech was w/o their starting QB. They are at full strength now and have a nasty defense. They will be trouble in the CFP.

Texas just needs too much shit to happen in front of it - assuming we beat aggy.

#1-4 are in regardless of what happens this weekend. It's hard to see Tech missing so use them for the B12 placeholder.

ACC and G5 get another 2 in. Notre Dame is going to pile-drive Stanford so put them in. 

Would Texas jump Oregon or Ole Miss if those teams lost? Seems like too many spots to make up and we'd be down in the loss column still. 

That leaves 2 spots for #8-16 - not including ND. (I don't think anyone below Texas has a chance for an at-large unless some really wild shit happens).

That's 2 spots for EIGHT teams. I don't see tOSU losing this season so cross Michigan off. 

Let's assume Texas jumps Utah (as we fucking should). Scratch them off.

I'm not sure Texas jumps Miami if the Canes get a road win against ranked Pitt. I do think that Texas would jump both OU and Alabama if either of those teams lost. Texas obviously jumps Vandy if Tenn wins and Tenn wouldn't jump Texas. 

So say Vandy and Miami both lose (which is very possible). Texas would STILL need two of three of Bama, OU and BYU to drop a game. 

I don't know what the odds are on that parlay but it is fucking slim. That said - IF that happens (it's not going to) it's hard to see Texas not getting the last spot.

Beat aggy and then start cleaning shit up in the offseason. At the end of the day the Florida loss fucked us and that's fair. You want to make the field, you have to win games like that.

This is my assessment for the Ohio state loss keeps us out people. I don't think the scenario is that much different. Mid season wtf loss and late blowout against top opponent is appropriately ranked 16
