It’s turning into pro football

Pro football is much more fair in how it decides playoff teams.

So, as our last remaining shot (as slight as it is), it seems like we need to root for blowouts in the major championships.

  1. Ohio State blows out Indiana to make our close loss look even better. Indiana drops somewhere in the 5-8 range. 
  2. Tech crushes BYU again. BYU drops behind us and Miami. That puts Miami and Notre Dame next to each other in the rankings, and then the committee flips them based upon the head-to-head.
  3. Georgia destroys Alabama in a game that is never really competitive. Alabama drops behind Miami and Notre Dame.
  4. That puts us, Alabama, and Notre Dame all together.  Play against common opponents is a stated criterion of the committee. Alabama lost to OU (and Georgia in this scenario). Notre Dame lost to A&M. We beat both of those teams by double digits. The committee could use that to justify us jumping both of them. That would put Miami at 9, Texas at 10, Notre Dame/Alabama at 11 and 12. 

What happens in the ACC doesn't really matter. Maybe I guess Duke winning it could adversely affect Miami. 

Reality is we are out. But if you want to see a path, that appears to be it to me. 

Nah, Ole Miss need to drop out because they don't have a coach.

True.  Just don’t like the players hopping around like they do now.  Both pro and college are meh.

Agreed.  I still don’t think OU is in with UT’ resume.  And I think you guys should be in.  I DO think ND with UT resume would have been a shoe in.

If the NFL ended today, 6-6 Baltimore is in the Playoffs over 8-4 Buffalo and 9-4 SF who both also have a tougher SOS.

...and the other 6-6 team in the same division played a tougher SOS.

2008

#5 UT beats #1 OU 45-35 in week 7

#7 Tech beats #1 UT39-33 in Lubbock in week 10 on a last second play

OU argues they have the better loss because they got beat by a top 3 team (ranked 1 at the time) who lost to  #7 Tech team (ranked 2 at the time) that OU then beat 65-21 in week 13 and passes UT in the Coaches and BCS standings.

regular season ends with:  AP/Harris= Bama, UF, UT, OU   Coaches= Bama, OU, UT, UF   BCS= Bama, OU, UT, UF

OU gets in the CCG and wins, UF beats Bama in CCG.   UF beats OU 24-14   Fuck OU, I think we beat that UF team

We got fucked by the human polls because people are idiots.

At the end of the day both of these statements can be true.

1. Don’t schedule Ohio st or anyone else like that in OOC games

2. don’t lose to Florida. 
 

Both of those reasons are why we’re not in the CFP.

Yeah, 10-2 ND with no Top 15 wins is #10.

A 9-3 ND with 3 Top 15 wins would be jumping most of the 1-loss teams that weren't conference champs.

Naw, as I recall, we got fucked by a couple of Big-12 opponent-coaches' calculated, intentional, let's-fuck-UT poll votes. (Lookin' at you, Art Briles, you cocksucker. Texas #5?! Bullshit.)

We probably should have ran up scores that season. Computers would have given us more of an edge and outweighed the coaches poll

One of those is a legit reason to be left out while the other is a completely egregious and incredibly shitty for the game reason.

Great. Cool. 

The committee has decided they don't give a fuck about SOS or top 10/25 wins.  Period.  End of story. 

Just rewrite the 2026 guidelines to say "W/L record and that's it.  That's the criteria" 

Rules and guidelines….that’s for losers…..that’s what “the committee “ ( and their pimps /ESPN  and others, pulling the strings) said with this ranking. It’s as if they went out of their way to stick a rusty, shit-stained knife in our back.

We got fucked because our own conference coaches diddled the rankings, and because Bob Stoops is smarter than Mack - Bob ran up 7 or 8 TDs in every single game, while Mack let the opponents off the hook. We also got fucked because Mack's brilliant game plan put us in a 19-0 hole in Lubbock before we ever scored, including sticking with The Script and handing the ball on basically a draw, to our 250-lb running back standing stock-still seven yards deep in our end zone for a highly-predictable safety.

I think that year we realized Mack wasn’t as well liked as we thought and his coaching tree wasn’t shit.  Bob comes off as more genuine

1.  Some of us like big games early in the season.   They are fun.   This is supposed to be fun - its just entertainment (not russian roulette).   I know lots of people want to hide from a challenge and back their way in on an easy schedule.   That's not what i want.

2.  A win in that big game can and will (see 2023) help you in seeding and if you are on the bubble.   

 

To act like there is no reason to ever play a hard OOC game is silly.    There is risk and reward in everything in life.    Yes playing a harder game early in the season can hurt and make your margin for error for the season tighter, but to act like there is no benefit ever is also dumb.

In the pantheon of ridiculously stupid thread titles, where does this one rank? I have it just behind "Sam Bradford Seems Like He Sucks" and running neck and neck with "This Alabama Team Is Going To Gargle Balls" (they won the title in 2017 after I posted this on Shaggy). I'm not sure what would even be in 4th or 5th place, but this site is loaded with dumbasses heaving text onto the forums, so perhaps I'm missing a few.

Ha, that's awesome. I changed that title like 10 times though. The premise was covering the season, not predicting it. Those other ones are what they are meant to say. 

Also, I can't help it that the SEC fucking sucks.

Some of us want the committee to enforce its own state policies. I would rather play “fun” ball games in the playoffs.

The risk/reward for playing those games is heavily against you. 
Compare our schedule to Notre Dame.

 No way we shouldn’t be ranked higher but hey, we played a fun game to start the season

We are going to stomp a mudhole in Stanfords ass. And then we lost with tiger woods on the sidelines. 
to be fair to your 2017 bama post they got their doors blown off by Auburn the last week of the year and barely beat a mid Ole Miss team and the perennial 8-4 aggy. That wasn’t of the same quality as previous vintage. 
to be fair to this thread title I said probably and then put it at 65%. Basically- everything looks pretty solid from the initial post with what I said needed to happen except OU stunblebumfuckimg their way to 10-2. I think we all feel 9-3 Texas is likely in of OU would have lost to Bama, right?  
that’s where the 65% came from- some of the stuff needed to break our way. Absolutely none of it did and we are still going to end up first team out even for all of that.

You haven't been paying attention.  That is what matters for this criteria for Texas this year.  So far, the playoff considerations have varied from year to year, from team to team.  We had undefeated conference champs left out.  We have had who they thought was playing the best ball at the end of the season.  We have had the conference champ of power 4.  We have had the Saban exception(s).   It is always highly subjective and more often than not, bullshit.  This is another MNC.

Worst take I have seen on the board today. Vandy was no where close to beating us. That took an all time ref fucking to get them to cover. That game was closer to a 30 point blowout than a Vandy win. And if we are gonna be retarded and operate in the land of hypotheticals like you are doing, let's also talk about how close we were in our losses. OSU was the beneficiary of a goal line stand. Let's say we score there and we stop them on their goal line stand. Boom Texas beats them. We can also say that maybe we score against Florida on the final drive and it also took two 4th down conversions and an onside kick against UGA for them to get separation from us. 

Your record is what it is. Stop being a little pussy and saying this is a 6-6 team. Fuck outta here with that.

This is exactly how people who don't watch games think.  They don't see a 2 point conversion that never crossed the goal line.  Or the manufactured penalties and ignored penalties to close the gap while stymieing the other offense.  They don't see the aggy line holding in the endzone to avoid a safety.  They don't see the WRs getting yanked and jerked around while no flag is thrown.   They don't see the guy tripping over the feet of another player that is called DPI.  They just lean into confirmation bias.   


This is a lot of hate for a post that I felt was not that controversial. I mean, I’m not going to argue that we werent fucked big time by the refs in damn near all our games… especially Vandy. 
But we totally almost lost that Vandy game. The Vandy dude had his hands on the ball during that onside kick. I didn’t make that shit up. Does anyone believe we stop them in OT in that game? And speaking of OT, we totally needed some super unlikely shit to go done to beat world beaters …checks notes…. Mississippi State and Kentucky.

So I watched our games.

Our line sucks.

We don’t have a run game.

We overachieved and beat all our rivals. Awesome. Beating A&M, OU, and piggy in the same season is a success. 

We were hosed last year the same way we were this year in regards to shitty SEC refs AND were beyond hosed the year before that in our final Big12 season.

The two previous teams made the playoffs. This year’s team is worse. Full stop. And anyone objective can’t argue the opposite with a straight face.

I guess we could catch lighting and make a little run in the playoffs, but this team is not close to championship caliber like our last two. 
Those teams could have won National Championships with better coaching. Sorry Sark. 

I bitch plenty about this team, but I don’t see how my post is some sort of surly malpractice.
