Doesn't matter.

Those were signed before we knew playing them was a no-win situation for us for strength of schedule and SOR and whatever the FUCK those cfp-committee knuckle-dragging-mouth-breathers "use".

If we win the games it’s still a no win situation

I still remember when we got very little respect for going into the horseshoe and beating them at night leading up to the rose bowl with USC. The media that year acted like that game never happened, which was part of the reason why so many picked USC to kill us.

I remember being the number two team in the country from wire to wire until we beat number one.

We were the most disrespected wire to penultimate wire #2 in history, it was more than just USC vs all historical teams, Corso even said he was picking a shock the universe texas pick.

That said after tOSU no team was getting to #2 even if there were other undefeateds.

Go ahead and keep the Ohio State and Michigan games for 2026 and 2027 respectively because they will both be in Austin. These are the games they "owe" us after we went to their places. 
With 9 game SEC schedules next year, it makes no sense to ever go on the road to play a top 25 opponent in non-conference. Future Home and Homes with top 25 opponents need to be cancelled and replaced with programs like Syracuse, Boston College, Purdue, Rutgers and the like. All that matters is we schedule a power 4 opponent that we should beat 99 times out of 100.

Cancel ND and call Indiana.  3 years from now they are crashing back to earth one way or another.  And it looks great now and screws ND.  When/If they refuse, put out a press release.  I half kid.

I mean Purdue is right there, frankly it is more about carrying out the threat after you made it, nobody is getting hurt, just cancel the ND series and force them to joing a conference. They used to schedule better before they half joined the weak ACC.

the idiocy of Hunter Yurachek is perfect for Arkansas.  so you rank teams and if they end up side by side, THEN you figure out if they played each other?

That’s been the rules as long as I can recall. It’s just a lot of dumb fucks don’t bother to understand what they’re whining and bitching about. It’s in the stated criteria again this year. If teams are comparable, hear in what we look at to separate “comparable” teams.

And there we have it….   But let’s ignore Bama lost to Florida State who (let me check) lost to Florida last week and OU who  I think Texas beat?

 

Am I right?

Texas closed as -4.5 pt favorite at Florida.

Miami was -10.5 at home vs. Louisville.

Miami's  loss is objectively worse by a significant margin.  They were also -6.5 at SMU.

A glance at FEI shows SMU 34, Louisville 32, FLA 43. All roughly the same. If Florida is a "bad loss" for Texas, Miami has two that are worse.

No, they literally are NOT looking at them. if they were Texas would not be behind Miami and ND.  Even the loss to Florida is not that bad.

They are simply looking at wins and losses...all the evidence proves that.  Texas has 3 losses and is out. They are the highest ranked 3 loss team...but still behind teams they shouldn't be because of the 3 in the loss column. Don't be dense.

You should probably try to keep your dumbassery confined to the Cowboys thread. You’re literally the reason “shut the fuck up, Drew” exists.

We were number two all year to the defending national champion who returned a Heisman trophy winning QB. USC was the overwhelming pick to repeat, and rightfully so.

Hopefully, Sark hires an OC, and we don't have to deal with this shit next year. 

 

No.  We'll get his face buried in a playsheet or notepad, even while on defense, and nothing but looks of bewilderment when an official throws a bullshit flag.

Hopefully Sark fully commits to spring workouts this year. Spring game or not, these are not NFL pros who need load management in the offseason.

Silver lining is we knocked aggy so far back they actually have to play a real team now.

It's funny how little the committee values our win over #3 and undefeated aggy.

how do you decide which teams are comparable before you use the SOS, H2H, injured players, common opponents?

Didn’t Florida state out physical Alabama this year? That was a bad loss. I understand Florida was a bad loss.

I get that they aren’t suppose to penalize being in the CCG but we would both have 3 losses IF smart could figure out how to beat bama . Both of us will have 1 really bad loss.

I don’t decide it. The committee does. Get a member on the phone and ask them. It’s been the same all along. They have to answer questions week after week about ranking a sport that has hundreds of teams that don’t all play the same type of schedules. Every year they contradict themselves when the chair has to answer questions every week. But it’s been this way as long as I can recall: “team A was far and above Team B in our view, so we didn’t need to go to H2H, common opponents, etc, etc.”

We get in if Bama and BYU get blown out in their title games

No, there will be two of VA/Duke, JMU, Tulane, even UNLV. Texas at #11 still means first one out.
