Also, he never shuts the fuck up and he looks like a short, fat chode.  Also he has zero integrity or honesty.

The first CFP rankings were released last night and Texas, coming in at no. 11, got a little more respect than some figured they would.

The Longhorns were ranked above both Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, two teams they’ve beaten. That should seem obvious yet the Horns are ranked behind OU in the AP poll.

Also of note, Texas is the second-highest rated two-loss team, behind only Notre Dame who sits at no. 10.

The SEC clearly has the attention of the CFP. The conference has six of the top 12 rated teams in the CFP.

3. Texas A&M

4. Alabama

5. Georgia

6. Ole Miss

11. Texas

12. Oklahoma

By comparison, the Big 10 has three teams in the top 10 - Ohio State at no. 1, Indiana at 2 and Oregon at 9.

The Big 12 was a bit of a surprise. BYU and Texas Tech, who play each other this weekend, are nos. 7 and 8, respectively.

Surprisingly, Utah ranked no. 13 overall.

The first ACC team was Virginia at no. 14.

**

So what did we really learn?

- The committee is poised to push at least four SEC teams into the playoffs.

- Notre Dame, despite just one ranked wins against USC, is going to get into the playoffs if they win out.

- The Big 12 has an outside shot at getting three teams in. But will more likely get just two.

- The Big 10 will likely get three teams. Oregon going to two-loss Iowa is a big game this weekend.

- Oklahoma is getting a lot of value from soundly beating Michigan in non-conference play.

And one more just because rankings can be maddening…

Miami has the same number of losses as Notre Dame and beat the Irish head to head. But they are ranked about 10 spots lower. Make that make sense, please.

Texas must win out to be assured of a playoff spot. That’s been the case since the Horns dropped the contest to Florida more than a month ago.

Is there a back way for the Longhorns into the playoffs with three losses? Sure. But that will require the help of others, and even then might be a long shot.

Bottom line: Texas needs to focus on what they can control. And that’s their games coming up against No. 5 Georgia, Arkansas and No. 3 A&M. Win those, and the playoffs will take care of itself.

One has won 6 in a row and the other has lost 2 of their last 3 to teams that were, at the time, unranked.  Doesn't seem out of whack to me.
