BYU's ranked 25th in the Sagarin PREDICTOR rankings. 

 

they also have 2 games against the TOP THIRTY predictor teams, and hold a 1-1 record. Texas tech also only has 2 top thirty opponents. Tech playing Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State, and Oregon state as an OOC plus playing the watered down big 12 without a single top 10 match up all year to skate by with...is pretty pathetic 

 

the one thing that saves tech and their abysmal schedule is theyre blowing the doors off everybody by 3-7 TDs each game. 

 

Meanwhile BYUs gauntlet OOC schedule, they outscored their opponents 130-16 in 3 games lol

Haha. Texas has 3 losses and it required overtime to beat Kensucky. A&M is a total fraud and you exposed them (good job btw), so don't get too mighty off that win. Maybe tap the breaks on the bitch talk. 

I think Tech is capable of winning it all and I think BYU is one of the 12 best teams in the country that deserves a shot in the playoff. We have lost 3 games in two years. The playoff should not be the SEC Season 2 Electric Boogaloo. 4 teams from the SEC is more than enough. 

This is the age of NIL and talent is more spread around. Tech has one of the best defenses money can buy. The SEC does not have the talent advantage it use to have, but some people are looking at Tech and BYU with a pre-NIL lens and just assuming an SEC team is superior because it's in the SEC. Fake news. 

Also, by your logic, anyone who loses their conference title game should be out of the playoff. If they can't beat that opponent, then they don't deserve to be in. Only Ohio State or Indiana but not both? Only Alabama or Georgia? Is that how your logic works? 

 

BYU is by far the lowest  ranked  playoff team in the sagarin predictor. and its 3 pts lower than the next closest team playoff team, Oklahoma, 4 pts below Texas and our 3 losses, +OT wins vs MSU and UK lol.

14 pts below Ohio St. Its cute you think BYU is one of the 12 best team that deserve a playoff shot(youre 12th out of 12). just make sure to comeback and update us how things go.

On the OTF Roundtable video last night, Burton seemed pretty upset about the Longhorns potentially being left out, but then he argued that the SEC should go to a 10-game conference schedule as a result.

How does that achieve anything? Isn’t the committee showing that total number of losses matter more than quality wins?  Adding SEC games doesn’t help minimize losses, that’s for sure.

Even going to a nine-game conference schedule seems misguided now.  I hate saying that because I really like the rotation they set up, and I hate saying to avoid big non-conference games in the future, but playing those games doesn’t optimize your chance to make the CFP.

Sounds like the SEC needs to shore up getting its teams ranked higher...

or maybe stop gaming their conference slates...

or own how it has everything it wanted and the fish still jumped out of the boat.

You know the more I think about this the more I think an even more hilarious result could happen. 

Wanna talk “chaos”?

What happens if BYU wins?

Tech won’t drop out being top 5/6 with only 1 loss now.  And 11/12 are earmarked for the ACC/G5 champ(which is dumb we all agree). 
 

So who drops?  #8 2 loss OU?  #9 2 loss ND that no one here believes the committed will not have in the playoffs?  Or #10 Bama(who I shouldn’t drop based on playing the SEC title game or so we’ve heard)?  
 

Talk about absolutely pandemonium if either other those 3 gets dropped. 
 

BUT the best thing is all the OU/Aggie fans crowing about how, even though we beat both, we’re sitting at home for the playoffs will be hilarious to throw in their face when/if OU is left out for BYU. 
 

So while I think the best result for Texas, is Bama/BYU losses to get an outside shot of getting placed at 10(not likely I know) over both.  I think BYU winning would be the most crazy, realistic, thing to happen this weekend.

Also yes I think Bama should drop if they lose and have 3 losses.   The whole “you can’t drop if you play in the CCG” is not a rule anymore than “not being penalized for tough OOC games” is.  
 

we’d have a stormy argument against them and should jump BYU/Miami anyways IMO.

Watered down Big 12?

2 games out of 12 game were against one of the 30 best teams in the country. Yes, just because there 18 teams in the B12 doesnt make it some powerhouse conference, hence the "watered down" Most other playoff teams play at least 4-5 games, minimum vs top 30.

 

Nobody on earth ever said the Big12 was great when Texas and OU were in it. if it was great, why would they bail?

I would say it’s likely Tech finds a way to fuck this opportunity up and lose to BYU. Tech doesn’t know how to handle success, they have no experience.

You mean before it lost its best 2 programa by far? At any rate, no one was saying the big 12 was great 3 years ago. Over 15 years ago before alignment fucked with it, sure.
