"...Or is it don’t play good teams, put up a bunch of yards, put up a bunch of points and make it look good. Throw fade route touchdowns with 38 seconds to go when you’re ahead 31-7 so that the score looks better.”

Sark fucked this year up.

I'm mad for Taaffe, Burke, and the other seniors. And for Arch.

Would have been incredible experience going into next season.

2 regular season rematches 

So compelling 

Yeah but Virginia vs Ole Miss (even with out a head coach) and UNT vs Oregon are absolutely going to expose this fraud. 

The 4 that truly tweak me are UNT, Virginia, Miami and ND. 

I presumed this would be the outcome but.. it's a joke.

This I agree with. Our run of coaches who refuse to pound inferior teams into dust continues to hurt us. 

If we're up 3 scores in the third the goal should be to win by 5 scores, not just bleed clock. Sure you don't snap the ball with 25 seconds on the play clock anymore but you also shouldn't be calling run, run,  short pass, punt so you can play super soft defense and give up garbage time scores. As you imply, style points and big margins are a part of college football. If you refuse to do it then you are not a great college football coach.

that's a great point honestly. Say we lost to Ohio State, Georgia and aggy. We are still out. It's the three losses.

And we still didn't have to play Ohio State.

This will be the least watched playoffs ever if the seeds hold.

I like this idea. Call it "all gas, no brakes" or something.

Ironic as well coming from a guy who claims to be all gas no brakes

BTW, quite the one-two punch for @Wulaw Horn with this and the "I have no concerns about this team" thread. 😂

 

 

Sweet lord if he posts we're going to win the SEC next year then we're fucked.

Funny, but it's not like we're being treated unfairly. 

It just depends what you value.

This committee is showing that nothing matters more than the loss column.  So, there is no reason to schedule marquee non-conference games.  They can only hurt you.  Texas and Ohio State, aggy and Notre Dame, oklahoma and Michigan, etc, will all be going away.

College football will now be stats games until Oct 1.  

This is 100% bad for the sport and bad for the fans.

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?

The difference is, Alabama's third loss (if it happens) will come in the SEC championship game.

So if we beat Ohio St and still lost to FSU we wouldn't be in? Sorry, Nicole seems like-able but she's the most gullible fuck around.

I don't like canceling big boy games but the ND games have to go.  Fuck them, they are prob the only team that will ever benefit from a "quality loss" the way we were begging too all year. 

The risk reward is skewed too far in their favor.

I'll be shocked if we back out of those home games.

But maybe.

Week 15 Anger Index - David Hale (spoiler alert: We're Number 1!!)

Quote

 

1. Texas Longhorns (9-3, No. 13)

It's not entirely clear how this committee values wins. For the past month, the priority has certainly appeared to be about which team has the better losses (unless, of course, you're Alabama).

That seems a foolish way to prioritize playoff teams, since the goal of the playoff isn't to lose to good teams but to win games.

Does Texas have a bad loss? Yes. A 29-21 defeat to woeful Florida -- even if the Gators also played Georgia and Ole Miss close and just walloped a team that beat Alabama head-to-head -- is problematic.

But look who Texas has beaten: No. 7 Texas A&M by 10, No. 8 Oklahoma by 17 and No. 14 Vandy by three (in a game they led by 24 in the fourth quarter). That's the résumé of a team capable of winning a national championship -- even if the Horns were also capable of losing to a second-rate SEC team.

Are we trying to find teams with the most upside or give participation trophies to the ones which have not lost an ugly one? (Except, again, Alabama.)

And it's not as if the committee believes an extra loss is disqualifying. Oklahoma, Alabama, Notre Dame and Miami all have two losses and are ranked ahead of one-loss BYU (more on that in a moment), so what's the harm of moving a three-loss Texas ahead of a two-loss team that has accomplished less?

This all comes back to the most frequent and justified criticism of the committee: The same rules aren't applied evenly. In some cases, record matters. In some cases, best wins matter. In some cases, better losses matter. The standard varies based on the team being considered. But if the committee is going to err in favor of any team, it should probably do so for one that's proved -- not once, not twice, but three times -- that it can beat an elite opponent.

Oh, and moving Texas up ahead of, say, Notre Dame would also have the added bonus of allowing the committee to sidestep another tricky situation. Which leads us to...

Yes and it will be interesting to see how they treat this if they get trucked by UGA.
