If a 3 loss bama gets in because it was a “championship” game. That’s brutal. It’s crazy we aren’t even on the graphics. 

then BYU should be in. better SOR, and a respectable SOS. 1 less loss

Raise your hand if you thought before the season that a 9-3 Texas would make the CFP.

This was always the problem with the Ohio State game. It just leaves less margin for error.

At 9-3 we needed things to break our way to get in (things like LSU over OU last weekend). Not enough broke our way.

It's fucking stupid we're being punished for playing the highest rated regular season game in college football history. But unfortunately it's not shocking or surprising.

Two G5 teams lol. Simply sorting the loss column is hilarious. I hope no one watches this abortion of a playoff and the entire thing implodes.

Aggy was leading at half. We won by ten.   Not sure if you’re fucking with us. 

Winning by 10 against a #3 ranked rival with the game not being in question for the majority of the 4th quarter is lopsided. 

Arkansas was also a great game.

Nice try, I ain't buying into SHIT for Texas until we beat Georgia.  So I guess if we make the SEC CG next year.  Until then, week-to-week enjoyment only, no peeking at the future*

* Just made my reservations for Vegas on 1/27/2027

The upside with next year is the schedule is in our favor ironically.  Now I hate this BS that goes around now about who in the SEC plays a strong or weak schedule  because ultimately in conference you can’t control if your opponents suck or not. But next year based on who is replacing coaches we SHOULD be in very good position to be playing in the SEC championship and hopefully that will be UGA.    That being said while you can’t ignore the 12 games ahead of that potential match up, the focus should start tomorrow with Sark and the boys to make it the goal to play Kirby and his boys in Atlanta next December and absolutely destroy them.  If it’s not UGA, then it’s whomever shows up.    The message needs to be se sent that the bend over taking it from the committee and their media lapdogs will not happen again if we have anything to to do with it.

Does Sark have it in him?  I guess we will find out starting with what moves he makes in the portal in a few weeks.

Well according to the committee they aren’t punishing us for that they are punishing us for losing to Florida. Which is bs but it is what it is.

Sunday - Bobby

There’s only one SEC team the Longhorns would be underdogs against on a neutral field - Georgia.

Not Alabama. They can’t run the ball and their QB is seriously overrated. Certainly not Oklahoma, Texas A&M or Vanderbilt. Texas already beat them all convincingly. Not Ole Miss either. They lost their coach.

That’s the problem with this “committee”.

It talks about the Longhorns’ loss to Florida as if Texas is the same team today that played in Gainesville at the first of October.

The Longhorns clearly aren’t.

Texas is 6-1 over the last seven games, including three top 10 wins.

Texas itself should be among the top 10 teams in the country. The Longhorns should be in the playoffs. Alas, they won’t be.

Too many preconceptions were made too early about the strength of an Alabama team that beat Georgia but has looked average as grits for the last month. And then there’s an Aggie team that folded easier than a piece of paper in a book when they met their first real contest in two months.

An unequal non-conference schedule leads us to this. A conference with 16 teams leads us to this. A group of folks sitting in a hotel conference room deciding the outcome leads us to this.

**

Instead of the CFP, I think Texas is headed to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando to play Michigan. We’ll know more in a couple of hours.

**

Moves behind the scenes are already well underway as it relates to the portal.

Agents are busy shopping players to various teams. Teams have expressed interest.

While January 2 is the official opening of the portal, any team waiting until then has already lost the game.

I think they just swap Bama and Notre Dame. Miami slides up to 11, whoops we don't have a spot for you because of Tulane. Duke/G5 get the final spot.

watching these idiots on ESPN 2, our guy Dusty Dvoracek says Notre Dame and Miami are his top 2. 

 

No reasons why Notre Dame is in the top 2. Notre Dames biggest accomplishment was losing 2 EARLY in the season then hanging around while others played a conference schedule with actual tough teams.

 

What outside of that has ND done?

wtf did bama get the conf champ game over aggy and ole miss again?

 

Personally I would have really enjoyed watching aggy get gangbanged by Georgia. 

I honestly didn’t understand how Bama got in over aggy  in the CCG with both having one conference loss.      If anything if you looked at the wins, aggy beat LSU and Auburn worse than Bama did.    They should’ve flipped a coin to decide who went to the CCG.

I would have been in the “more likely than not” hand half raised. 

As it turned out we were a few plays in other games in November…OU/LSU and Alabama/Auburn in particular….from that happening. So not so far fetched. 
 

Incredible that the only rankings-changing “upset” the last two weeks of the regular season was us beating Aggy…

I haven’t seen Texas mentioned in the tv discussion at all in the past 24 hours, which pisses me off more than not getting in. We had some great wins and deserve some air time for the hype machine and any recruits watching. Our merits for inclusion seem to be limited to the zealots of surly horns. 

the networks are just carrying the cfp committees water at this point.  the fact the no one is even talking about Texas when their own arguments about other teams would warrant talking about texas makes it pretty obvious.  the whole cfp selection thing is a joke.  they arent deliberating anything.  its already been decided.  and the fact that there is a weekly tv show to talk about their "rankings" each week, just solidifies the point

I would argue Notre Dame passes the eye test RIGHT NOW, in August/September not so much. But who the hell knows what criteria THIS committee is using on a team-by-team basis, much less the entire field

It’s the typical sport media bias that drifts Norte Dame’s direction every fricken year whether it was BCS slot on the line or now a playoff spot.    It’s all about the number of L’s and nothing else.  I mean, ever since the playoff or even the BCS, last year was the best performance Norte Dame has exhibited in all this going back to the 80’s when the media ultimately picked the NC.  They’ve been pumped and pumped and then get humiliated.   It’s a good thing back in 2005, Reggie Bush tush pushed Leinart in their game against Norte Dame because we would’ve exposed those frauds at the Rose Bowl back then.

Its also fair to say that Notre Dame got fucking jobbed by the refs and would only have the Miami loss if it weren't for pretty clear ref fuckery. The biggest problem is the majority of their schedule is super soft bullshit.

I don’t think Texas is getting in, but I do think they’re at least worthy of consideration.  I mention that because I do sense a concerted effort among talking heads the past week plus to not mention Texas at all in such discussions.  THAT feels like an injection of collective bias that shouldn’t be present among the committee members and the media, but who are we kidding here.  Compare it to the way 3-loss Bama was debated up to the release of the final playoff rankings a year ago

70% of the country is functionally retarded

if/then/else discussions, 4D-chess, and color television make the creation and propagation of digestible narratives and rationales too difficult to maintain across the 24-hour news cycle

up thread someone posted that the committee acted like a corporate executive that sensed trouble and nuked Texas 2 weeks ago to prepare for the controversy that would be chosen for the appearance of drama, i.e. miami/domer

If I were CDC or someone in our media sphere who could get out in front of the media ,  I’d be pointing out one our chief rivals with a fan base that hates us worse than maybe OU and aggy is chairing this committee.       CDC might not be that guy because of his position and future leverage he needs.      But we definitely need a “a good cop, bad cop” situation as part of our media play here.  Even if it’s after the fact now.   

And next year  we need to put the Arkansas AD on our video board after we pound Arkansas next year similar to what we did to Elko last week  and the Rig 12 Commish last year after we beat Tech.  I’m sure there is some video content somewhere we can dig up.

The schedule isn't bad but why can the SEC office not figure out some balance of away/home games? Those idiots are always stacking both for some reason, all the road games in a row and then all the home games.

Because it wasn't just Bama and aggy. Ole Miss and Georgia were also tied at 7-1. Bama and Georgia got tie breaker over Ole Miss and aggy because of conference opponent win percentage.

It’s like BYU doesn’t even exist anymore.   I’m hardly a defender of BYU and we can talk about who is about to get screwed over for which we are included in that category.   But unlike Norte Dame they played a conference schedule and whether they played shitty teams or not on that conference schedule is irrelevant because Norte Dame gets to pick it’s shitty schedule year in year out and it’s a guess whether their opponents for the most part are going to show up.   And this on top of the losing the CCG means more to Bama and them getting to stay in vs BYU losing theirs and the double standard is starring the media right in the face and they don’t acknowledge it.

Hopefully CDC address this big time.  This season the Vandy game should’ve been played after the OU game because the RR game has always been treated as a road game for us not withstanding we are the “home” team every other year.  It’s still a road  trip from Austin which is similar to some of the road trips SEC teams make to play conference games such as going from Austin to Collie Station for example    

CDC needs to make the case that we either play a conference home game before Red River or after.    Then if it proceeds with two straight road games, so be it.   As long as we get two straight SEC home games somewhere in the schedule like we did to end the season.

the funny thing about aggy was their was a bunch of media run after they beat up LSU saying they might be the number 1 team but then they got pantsed by the team that lost to "OH THE HORROR!" Florida and now they are just a side note because everyone started looking at their schedule again.

The committee doesn’t give a fuck. The fact where they rated us last week initially is proof that they weren’t going to take Texas.

They excuse it for being the first game.  For which we lost to Florida only four weeks later.   I guess the first part of the season where you are forgiven is only qualified for the first three or four weeks?  I mean the committee is somewhat doing to same for Norte Dame.   

If this committee was fair, someone would ask why they should promote Bama over anyone since FSU did indeed lose to the same Florida team that is being used to keep us out.  Why hasn’t that question been asked by the media or is it by design or order.  Yes I got my tin foil hat on.
