Probably because we don't win as much as they do.

Years we suck aren’t the issue. 2008 is a perfect example. OU playing like dog shit this weekend not even discussed while Texas is railroaded for bad wins. Notre Dame has zero quality wins, Bama gets credit for beating a talented Auburn team that sucks ass and has no coach. There’s no BOMC that’s shit made up by the Aggies.  Texas is objectively the sixth best team this year and nope outside looking in while a defense only team in OU is rewarded. Fuck that noise.

ND is out if BYU wins. That’ll shut up Miami boosters and they get off Scott free. 
 

just like keeping Texas out due to 3 losses. 

I think this is correct. And it would be some sweet karma for us to knock ND out of the playoffs.

And even if BYU loses, but it's a close one, would they take BYU just to solve the ND/Miami/Texas Gordian Knot and it's easier to explain?

They just need to be Texas Tech, and they are in the playoffs, they should stop being lil bitches.

I wonder if we'd get the benefit of the doubt if we had two losses like Alabama and Notre Dame.

It's a mystery.

I’ve said many times is it best record or best teams? The guiding principles and the talk suggest best teams. 

Its not. it’s best records case closed not a mystery. Adjust accordingly. 

I’m fine with being out I’m not okay with bullshit messaging and then doing something else. 

as played on the field with a 3-2 record among elite competition, Texas is the 6th best team. Use an NFL style approach and look at league standings and by either OBJECTIVE measure Texas is in by a WIDE margin even with 3 losses.

take the top 10 with the best records and let’s go. That’s the deal stop saying it isn’t. Fucking talking head morons. 

roll with the 9 game schedule and fuck Notre dame and the rest of the quality OCC games to hell. They aren’t worth it. Awesome for the fans and the sports yay us!

I’ll quit this shit in a day or two but right now I’m fucking pissed. Objectively Texas is 6th. How the fuck you can say the 5th team in the SEC standings and a team with a 3-2 record against elite competition is out when most play off teams only played 1 or 2 elite teams to begin with and most with even or losing records against said competition is beyond fucking me.
 

But scram it’s the three losses, and Florida.

No is it record or is it best teams because for one Florida matters and Texas is out and for the other Texas is busting doors down and wrecking shit up in the playoffs as an elite top 5-6 team.

just be fucking consistent say what you do and do what you say. This committtee is so full of shit.

I'm sure I'm missing some of your logic somewhere - but just to re-iterate, 'bama had back-to-back x2 wins over ranked opponents this year.

Two of the four were overrated, but I mean... so is A&M.

Here you go Texas, your reason to keep scheduling good OOC

Yes, BYU has a chance to play their way in but why should they have to? Why aren’t they already on the 10 line and ND on the cut line?
The difference between ND(10-2) and BYU(11-1) that has the Catholics ahead of the Mormons seems to be - ND’s LOSSES!!

Keep in mind, neither of these schedules is an SEC schedule so that argument isn’t a factor

10-2
@ MIAMI (L) - #12
A&M (L) - #7
Purdue
@ Arkansas
Boise
NCSU
USC - #16
@ BC
Navy
@Pitt 
Cuse
@ Stanford

11-1
Portland St
Stanford
@ E Carolina
@ Colorado
WVU
@ Arizona - #18
Utah -  #15
@ Iowa St
@ TxTech (L) - #4
TCU
@Cincy
UCF

….ok, I’m a realist, it’s the sticker on the helmet that

there is nothing on ND's resume that is better than Texas except for the loss column.   we even beat both common opponents and you didn't.

There are several things, like squeakers over losing teams.

The computers say otherwise.  Unless you look at a binary Win=1 Loss=0, you will notice that we only played two close games against good teams and lost each in the final 30 seconds.  The other ten wins ranged from decisive to blowout. 

You lost to the two teams on your schedule that could fog a mirror.  You didn't beat anybody. 

Cancel the ND game and never schedule them again.

I don’t think they will have two rematches in the first round.  I think that will probably change 

Maybe if both results flip in the rematches people will stop holding head-to-head wins by less than a fg as sacrosant trumps over the rest of the resume and recognize them as the coin flips they usually are.

Texas fans, before going all in on “shitty OOC schedules are the way,” take a beat and note that a 10-2 SEC (Vandy) team is almost certain to miss the CFP this year, and a second one (Bama) still might. As of now, you’re ahead of Vandy to sneak in. 
 

There’s really no way around an unbalanced super league occasionally producing a jumble of teams with 1-2 losses in conference play and the SEC is simply not going to get half or more of the field. All you are doing is guaranteeing yourself a shitty slate of games in exchange for a perceived benefit that might not exist at all. 
 

There’s not a lot of hard evidence that the OSU loss is really hurting Texas here and quite a bit of counter evidence that it isn’t. And on the flip slide: winning that game would have placed you as the safest 2 loss team in the field.

For me it’s more about cancelling Notre Dame. Other tough OOC games at least have the potential of the other team being punished for the loss as well. Notre Dame is all risk for us, but Domers won’t get punished. No upside for playing them. With our SEC schedule doing heavy lifting (especially in even years), I wouldn’t hate cancelling other ones as well though.

In addition to its own computer ranking system, Massey also collects data from many other computer ranking systems to create a composite ranking.

I find it useful for 2 reasons: (1) it points me to other ranking systems an (2) it shows the overall range across the ranking systems.

For the CFB top-6, I see the following range (composite ranking in parens)
1 - tOSU (1) : 1-3
2 - Indiana (2) : 1-9
3 - UGA (5): 2-12
4 - TTU (4) : 1 - 11
5 - Oregon (3) : 3-14
6 - Ole Miss (9): 4-18

UND (6): 2-14
BYU (7): 2-25
Texas (16): 10-27

Fwiw.

Also - I had forgotten about the Billingsley system.  I like it, but largely because it rewards Texas :)

BYU is gonna get left out after they lose to Tech. They're just setting the stage.
