Miami lost to Louisville at home and is ranked ahead of us.

I’m pretty sure we fell in the rankings after a couple of WINS this season

You really think this statement bolsters your argument?

Do you really think it doesn't? Because really you don't understand the argument or you are just done at loss record.

Head to head should mean more on rankings. Vanderbilt and OU were bitch slapped by the Longhorns. Vandy and OU should never be ranked higher than Texas where a measure is needed to decide who is better. It was decided on the field.
A one game difference in record is not the same as a 6 game record differential when comparing Texas to Florida.  Maybe we should not be in the playoffs, but neither should Vandy nor OU.   They should both be behind Texas. I believe ND being over Miami is bullshit too. They pulled this shit when we lost to Tech but beat OU. It was bullshit then and it is bullshit now.

I'm telling you, that Florida loss is so bad the committee will scoff at us. Even if we road grade aggy by 90. 

Do it.  For science.

Head to head only works when comparing 2 teams in a bubble like the 2008 Big 12 title situation. It doesnt work here. 

We beat OU. OU beat Alabama. Alabama beat Georgia. Georgia beat us. 

There's no way to head to head all of that. 

That's why you look at overall resume and we looked bad for large stretches of the season. Our best bet to make the playoffs was to only lose 2 games this season. Whether that means not failing to show up at Florida or being smarter and scheduling Northwestern instead of OSU for game 1.

Ok so we don't make the playoff. In what world does Vandy and OU look better  than Texas when they got bitch slapped on the field?  Also, how is comparing Texas entering a playoff versus Vandy or OU any different than Texas, Tech, and OU? With the exception of course that we beat both teams and Tech and Texas and OU took turns losing.

You seem to be arguing that a loss to someone outside the top 25 should not register when looking at good/bad wins and losses. Maybe I misunderstood you 

 

as far as head to head it’s literally circular reasoning

 

We beat OU who beat bama who beat Georgia who kicked the shit out of us
