Ok

Yeah I get it. Let's make the argument though without basically saying "Once you toss out the Ohio St game...."

Texas has the best collection of wins, and probably the worst single loss.

So what bowl would we go to if we miss out? Playing Michigan in the gator bowl? Go 10-3, watch ou, techtard and aggy all lose in the CFP? Reload for next year and get after it. 

Head start on the portal. Let’s get’em

Strong OOC games only matter if you win. That's the only way any of this makes sense.  The single biggest factor is number of losses, and it doesn't matter who those losses are to. The selection process is not putting the 12 best teams in the playoff, which is what it should be.  We beat two, maybe 3 playoff teams; we lost to two other playoff teams. I think that proves we belong in the mix.

It should count sure, but when comparing resumes with a clearly worse team a 7 point loss to the #1 team on the road to start the season should matter less when we are rolling down the stretch. It shouldn’t just be a straight up 3 loss vs 2 loss comparison. If that’s how the committee treats it we will schedule accordingly in the future, no love lost.

Este.

100% this. The CFP can do whatever they want. If they want us in they can do it.

Buddy of mine that I grew up with and is a former college football journalist and AP voter.  He remains extremely connected in retirement and steadfastly maintains we will be in the playoff because ESPN is footing the bill for all of this.  Miami, the Big 12 runnerup and Vandy don't move the needle for them.  I'm skeptical but we shall see.

If it was the twelve best - A&M would be out and we would be in. Their schedule was a fucking joke.

They don’t cancel every series they have scheduled against top programs like people are suggesting. How about we play and win the games?

Look at Indiana and what they did after Cignetti came. Same with Oregon after Lanning’s first year.

I am sorry, if only, okay with Sark and his staff focusing on the portal instead the wet dream of us making it to the semis again. Unpopular opinion: night is over. Drink your fine bourbons my kings.

Sec is getting 5 teams in. If bama wins tonight they are the last sec team in. If bama loses tonight Texas is the 5th sec team. 

I don’t think Vandy gets in over Texas when you look at their resume. They got an artificial boost from beating #11 SC now 4-8, #10 LSU now 7-5 and fired their coach, and #15 mizzou now 8-4 and unranked. Their best win is over 8-4 Tennessee. Depending on how far Tenn drops and missou climbs, they might end up with zero wins over teams that finish the season ranked. 

They have no wins over a playoff team. Texas has 2. 

Plus, critically, UT has the head to head win.

I would suggest putting the win against aggy on the wall to top off the celebration, but we would have to build more walls at DKR to accommodate all of the wins over aggy.

We should immediately cancel all P4 out of conference games. There is no upside at all. I don't care if we get shade from talking heads or Facebook power posters. 

I want to be in the playoffs, and P4 out of conference games put that at risk. Cancel them all tomorrow. 

I don't care for the "it's great for the sport." I care about what's great for Texas and screw everyone else. Putting the playoff at risk for something that provides no upside is stupid. 

Kill all P4 non conference games immediately.

Yep. After last night and a solid bowl I’m okish with this season. Today’s results were a pipe dream. I had given up hope of a shot after Florida and then again at MSU so just happy to be here.

If we can't be in the playoffs, I just want aggy to get beat by Texas Tech in the first round.  That's all I ask for.  Their last two games of the season to be losses to us and to Tortilla High.  

That would just be piling on all of the self-loathing that the aggy collective has endured since last night.

SEC requires us to play one every year.

If BYU loses next week I think they are out of the conversation. If BYU wins I think the big 12 steals the SEC’s 5th spot.

We can play Purdue or Rutgers instead of Michigan or Ohio state. Same same.

Tech beats aggy, tears down the goalposts and rams them into the aggy cheering section, led by Gap Shirt Boy's son. This is what I want.

Our 7 pt loss at Ohio St is more of a reason to include us in the playoffs than our OT wins against Kentucky and Miss St.

 

Wins and losses are binary.  Teams don't play the same schedule.  We've got to get past this comparing records bullshit.

That's pussy ass bullshit.

The morons on this board want to schedule tOSU, then back to back weeks of Oregon and Miami on the road.  Play the fun games, you know.

We should schedule on a different metric level, that nobody else does.  That'll show"em!!

ND's schedule is a joke. But let's not do that.
