Texas is inarguably a bubble team Florida or Ohio state loss or not. The Florida loss banished Texas from any and all rankings only to claw back from the depths of irrelevancy. Beating aggy by double digits was not enough, it needed to be a blowout by 21+. All gas no brakes is what Kirby fucking smart does. Texas didn't "dominate" anyone this year. 

Now do the other bubble teams, lol.

I will make the case for Domers being in having watched a lot of football this year with at least 3 games from all relevant teams: they are one of the best 10 teams in college football. So are we so that’s not the decider but that would be my argument. Resume wise?  Yeah- they don’t belong. 

you didnt once say why ND should be in outside of watching football lol.

BYU has a more compelling case than ND. Better SOS, better SOR and 1 loss being a conference championship.

That doesn't make Texas not a bubble team. This is what happens when you are a bubble team. 

You know what doesn't happen to bubble teams? Oklahoma's situation.

Quality of losses: Notre Dame > Texas > Bama > Miami

Not sure I get this one.  Assume Texas is below ND because Florida?   ND losing @home to aggy is pretty damning.

And Sark got fucking ROCKED by Kirby. Completely outcoached, and Kirby went for the killing blow to take us out of the playoffs then and there. Nobody cares about how the game went, just the final score. 

It's not fair, but that's football 

If PK/the defense stopped the fourth down, we would've had the ball with a chance to go up. Or if Collin didn't jump offsides on a 4th and 5. Sark only got ROCKED because all of Kirby's gambles worked out. If the receiver dropped the ball on 4th and 1, Kirby would've looked like a clown going for it from his own 36, up by 4. Or if the onside kick took a sideways bounce out of bounds.

I’m actually glad we are getting left out. Underperforming and squeaking by first round opponent with poor line play, a bad offensive game plan, and special team fuckery followed by losing a clearly winnable game in the second round or semis is not what I want to see. 
 

Sark does some soul searching in the offseason and makes some meaningful changes to staff and process

Notre Dame beat Pitt by 10 points in the last relevant game of their year.  Texas beat aggy by 10 in our last game.  One is clearly better than other.

Their qb is not good though.  They aren't going to beat anyone with a pulse because of him.

I agree with Cajun.  Win the fucking Florida game.  Then we can prop up a loss against the better team(s).

Can it be baseball season yet Cajun?

Yeah, but Texas didn't beat Florida and shows a propensity to shit their pants and collapse in one phase of football for legitimately 11 out of their 12 games.

We’re not even in the discussion with the committee anymore. Probably never were even last week. It’s all on bama, ND and Miami. I assume whoever doesn’t make it will be who we play on our Kleenex tissue bowl. Actually that is who should host the two teams that didn’t make it. Kleenex.

Texas was left out "for not playing in the ccg game" only to have Alabama qualify for postseason without playing in the ccg later. Moving target. Of course, ND has never played in a ccg either.

 

Nobody should expect fairness in sport or these subjective selections but Texas is too often on the losing end of the equation while favored schools keep finishing on top.

 

They literally announced a higher emphasis this year on schedule strength and then didn't follow through

Lotta "if"s in that sentence. If all the "if"s keep going against us, that ends up as an indictment of coaching. Lotta dropped balls that game too, and a heap of crappy coaching and piss poor discipline.

Yes we had a shot to win it. Kirby made fuckin sure that we only had once chance, and we quite literally dropped the ball

If we’re in the two loss pool with OU, we wouldn’t be getting put behind them. So I disagree we’d be a bubble team with two losses.

Maybe I missed it but why does nobody talk about Bama getting worked by a dog crap FSU team? That is a very bad loss that is the same standard we are being held to vs Florida.

Texas has 3 losses and one of those 3 is Florida. 

OU has losses to *checks notes* bubble Texas in a rivalry game and ole miss who is a real deal contender for a national championship

IMO bama should be punished for playing FCS teams. Those aren't real games, they're glorified scrimmages

Considering bama is fucking out of the playoffs after getting blown out I don't think it matters.

Beating georgia in the regular season propped them up big time.

I am afraid the only soul searching Sark will do will involve getting out of marquee non-conference games. He thinks playing in the Swamp or the Shoe is hard. Cignetti on the other hand doesn't flinch no matter who the opponent is.

Three losses is why we’re being left out. That’s clear.

Unfortunately, most rating systems do not favor us either due to poor performance in not just the Florida loss, but in multiple wins. And despite the ranked wins we ended up with, we just never had enough dominant stretches of football to overcome the three losses.

Playing at the swamp and the shoe is hard as fuck. Legendary places that are top 10 stadiums in all of sports. Shut the fuck up.

Don't think so, honestly. They laid too big of an egg yesterday. 

Been saying that this would probably happen. The slight move up for them to #9 was, I think, a hedge against this, but I think they looked so bad that they should absolutely be out.

Looking at the betting odds, I would be shocked if they are out. You can go make some good coin if you think you are right. I really hope you are. They dont deserve to be in.

They are only dropping BYU 1 spot to 12 for laying an egg to provide cover to only drop Bama one spot and insulate the head to head against Miami.

Texas should absolutely schedule a Hawaii or Puerto Rico game against the next bubble team and not do a bowl game and just call it a wash on the fine from the revenue.

Texas BYU or Texas Miami or Texas ND or Texas Alabama 

How fucking sick. It would have insane ratings.

Good catch USC was by 10.  I think the point still stands, but USC is a bit better than Pitt.

I am sure they are but it's about the mindset of the coach. It's like Herman saying winning is hard to provide cover for his inexplicable losses.

I know it's not going to happen, but as a Texas expatriate living in Oregon, Why can't we plug Texas in at #12 and send the Horns to Autzen. I know that for Oregon, it wouldn't be an easy pushover that the #5 team deserves, but Texas at Uncle Phil's house would be must see tv, and I would love to see the Horns at Autzen. So much more interesting than JMU at Ducks

it would be extremely cool and a playoff game is the only way it will ever happen (re: autzen capacity 50k)

I don't think sark blamed the swamp nor do I give a shit. There is no one to blame but himself so we are in agreement there.

and when you think of the timing and absolutely brain dead behavior behind a handful of ours you realize we are never going to make the finals much less win it without some fundamental changes to the program. In the age of NIL we are never going to have the talent differential to overcome this glaring of an on field discipline problem

Just get rid of conference championship games with power 4.  They should do play-in instead.  Top 9-16.   If a group of 6 team is in the top 16, then they can choose to enter the play-in or their championship game.
