I want to LOL that 3 people in a row basically said the exact same thing in 3 very different ways...

But sadly, I don't find it amusing cause truth hurts.

My problem with the UGA front 4 performance is that they weren't putting up great numbers ahead of the game last year and then they lit Texas up.

Sounds a lot like the scouting reports before the UF and MSU games as well, and both those teams abused our OL and clobbered Arch. Maybe we figured something out with Hutson/Robertson and 11 personnel. Maybe.

2 people above and in this very post you quoted already figured it out, except apparently Sark. The solution is simple and it really all depends on whether or not Sark finally accepts what many here and elsewhere have been pointing out since OU. (And some prior)

Thanks for your reply. My post was primarily aimed at pointing out that several teams with terrible pass rushes got right by playing us. Whether these are actual “fixes” to that pattern remains to be seen, and not meant to imply I know more than Sarkisian. They are just the slim thread by which any hopes I have for the season currently hang.

If BYU loses a second time to Tech in the CCG, they don't have a compelling argument to be included in the playoffs. In other words, they've definitively and emphatically proven they're not the best team in the country if they lose to the same team twice and, therefore, should not be stealing another team's spot.

I could see that as being the committee's reasoning for excluding them when it comes to selection time.

Or BYU could have 2 losses to a top 10( top 5?) team. 
That's hardly damning in the big picture. 
 

They also would be penalized for making their Conference Championship Game.

I've retreated from that earlier stance.

All that being said, it's almost impossible to ignore that Texas passes the eye test and absolutely is a draw. 
 

That Florida game is a bitch to explain. Winning is the solution.

The whole season is hard to explain. The Ohio State game was extremely winnable if Arch plays decent. We outgained them something like 330 to 200. And then we were utter dog shit against UTEP, Kentucky, and most of the MSU game.

The media will spin it however they want and so will the committee.  It has happened before and it will happen again.

If they want someone in, they will justify it. 

2014 Ohio State lost to VT (finished 7-6)
2015 OU lost to Texas (5-7)
2018 Ohio State lost to Purdue (6-7)
2024 Notre Dame lost to NIU (8-5, but a MAC team)

I mean Alabama lost to FSU which is just as, if not more, confusing. 
 

the thing that will be frustrating is if 9-3 gets held out for a second Big XII team as it would be punishing teams for actually trying to schedule big OOC schedules. BYU, Tech and Utah all had joke of OOC and the Big XII as a whole really did nothing OOC.
