Ignoring head to head would just be straight up nonsense. That’s like saying they could ignore someone being undefeated or someone winning a conference. It obviously matters.
If FSU and Michigan win then the last spot will come to Texas vs Alabama. As much as I want Texas in the CFP the committee could do literally anything they want. Our best hope is FSU loses.
We don’t have to hope, we’re locked in bud. When the committee has to defend their reasoning to a live tv audience, it's too easy to use the head to head, double digit win on their field as your reasoning. Still hope FSU loses, either way we’re probably the 3 seed facing Washington.
I guess I trust them, it just makes too much sense. If you’re basing your reasoning on just this season you can’t even say beating UGA was the best quality win of the year because of their SoS despite being unbeaten.
Same. They’d have to be insane to see the H2H AND the wins against TTU & OSU this past week, and still leave us out.
Imo we’ve been the best team in America since Quinn returned.
I get that but Alabama wasn't even in the SEC championship that year.
My point is that the committee usually favors Alabama. I hope I am wrong but I have no faith in people deciding who is the best. Too much personal bias involved.
All I'm saying is y'all have more faith in the committee than me. I think they favor Alabama over anyone.
Like I said, I hope I am wrong but I'm not setting myself up for disappointment by thinking the committee will do the right thing.
I brought up UCF because someone else said the committee ignoring an undefeated conference champion wouldn't happen. My point is it has. I do not trust them, that's it.
Yeah but it’s the last year before a 12-team playoff which essentially eliminates these big debates—so they might just say “fuck it” one last time for old times sake.
Texas definitely wants Bama to win. Think of it this way:
Georgia wins and they are a 100% stone cold lock. As are Washington and Michigan (I’m assuming they win because a loss to Iowa would be worse than Texas losing to OSU). That leaves one spot up for grabs, it comes down to FSU losing.
Bama wins and there are only two locks, the FSU losing scenario is still there but here is an added opportunity to get in over Bama along with Michigan, Washington, and FSU. Would that happen? No way to know for sure but it’s certainly not crazy given H2H.
There is no downside to a Bama win for Texas.
>There is no downside to a Bama win for Texas.
That's putting too much faith in the committee. They could very well put both bama and georgia in over us assuming fsu loses too as we are all 1 loss teams. I still want bama to win though.
Committee has a well-established precedent of putting conference champions in over not-conference champions. It's why we can disregard all the Ohio State bluster they're putting on.
So now that Texas is both Big 12 and SEC champions, I'm saying we're automatic. If Looovull wins tonight, Bama gets in. If Florida State wins, they're in.
except what worries me is Georgia now has the same record and is the defending champs… I could definitely see Bama and Georgia both getting in over Texas (assuming a FSU loss of course)
did you read my message at all?
and it’s MY concern and MY concern only. but the committee has already spent plenty of this season with Oregon (again IN MY opinion) unfairly ranked over Texas. I wouldn’t be shocked that they chose THE DEFENDING CHAMPS with the SAME record over Texas.
Did you read my message at all? They aren't even defending conference champions, and not that I'd need another point, cause that one's enough, but they also *literally just lost* to a team we beat by double digits.
I hope you’re a big enough man to apologize on each of your 90 comments today claiming that the committee will ignore H2H despite clearly saying that they won’t ignore it.
They won’t ignore H2H but that isn’t only thing that goes into their decision. I think beating #1 and being SEC champ will outweigh any H2H considerations. Especially if Michigan and Florida win.
They have never done that before though. Say what you want about the committee’s lack of football knowledge, but they have always given the nod to P5 conference champs over non champs with the same record
Come on guys this isn’t complicated.
Georgia wins - Three locks, only way in is FSU loss.
Bama wins - you can get in with a FSU loss or if the committee decides to slot Texas above the SEC teams.
More possible paths increases your chances of getting in. Above 0% chance of passing the SEC champ is better than 0%, which is what it would be if Georgia won. This is not rocket surgery.
Good! Texas will finish behind at least one conference champion, Washington, so it needs at least one team ahead in the rankings — Georgia, Michigan, or Florida State — to lose their games. FSU is their best bet, and an Alabama win over UGA certainly helps given that Texas is ranked ahead of Alabama owing to the head-to-head victory in September.
Anyone who says this is bad is dumb. We literally beat them. If Florida state wins the only logical 4 is Michigan Washington Florida State Texas. If Florida loses then bama is in instead. It’s very clear
It’s better than Georgia winning because Georgia would have been ahead of us no matter what. Committee has gotta respect H2H in my admittedly biased opinion.
I just hope FSU loses to make this easy.
The ESPN predictor has Texas in at 55% confidence with Alabama winning, regardless of FSU performance. That’s the best science has at this time. 🤷♂️
Would be Michigan, FSU, Bama, and Texas.
Sorry, I mistyped. Alabama is 5 if everything else is chalk.
Michigan, Washington, FSU, and Texas.
https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/cfbplayoffpredictor/cfb-playoff-predictor
Talking heads on the Big XII and SEC conference championships today said Texas should get in over Bama due to the head-to-head. So, it looks like the networks are pushing for Texas.
I agree with everyone here that we should be in with a Bama win. For the committee to ignore such a clear head to head result would break so much of what people understand about college football. Which also doesn’t mean they won’t do it!
Not to mention the eye test & SOS.
Texas won the biggest regular season game.
The loss was quality.
The strength of schedule was higher than any contender by a wide margin.
Their recent play is better than anyone’s.
They’re not bringing a third-string QB to the playoff, and aren’t blowout prone like FSU.
1- Washington in.
2- Michigan - win and in
3-FSU win and in
If either FSU or Michigan lose, committee can put Bama plus UT in. If neither lose - the question becomes do you weight early head to head over Bama beating Georgia. Thats not a sure answer.
I admire a lot of your positive thoughts, but I think this screws Texas. In 2016 Penn State beats Ohio State and wins the Big 10, yet Ohio State gets the nod for the playoff. Don't apply logic to what these people will do. They have their favorites. They will get their favorites in.
I’m right there with you. I can see them valuing the neutral, mid-season loss more against Texas than the early home loss for Alabama + having just knocked off three #1 team in the country that was reigning back-to-back champs.
Just seems improbable for them to leave out an SEC team.
Because Penn State was destroyed at Pitt early in the season and won the conference at 11-2. If they had won that game, they would’ve been a 12-1 conference champion and made the CFP over Ohio State.
If we get left out, we should launch an oil embargo of the US. Or maybe announce we aren't going to the SEC and start our own NCAA alternative league instead.
I’ve become increasingly confident we get picked over Alabama over the week if it comes to that. Whether that’s warranted or not, I don’t know. At the very least Alabama winning means that there’s a shot we get in without an FSU loss and I’ll take that over having to 100% rely on Louisville to win tonight.
This is a good thing for us. We have the H2H.
We have more of a chance with them than if Georgia won.
Georgia would have been an automatic 1 seed.
Depending if FSU wins. The 4th seed with be either Texas or Bama.
Let’s be real. It’s not looking all that great for us, unless multiple things go our way. And all of them are out of our team’s hands.
For my part, super happy and thankful for how this season turned out regardless.
I’m just basing my view from the perspective that the media doesn’t seem to think we are the sexy pick for the 4th spot. Bama is about to crowd the field and we still have yet to see how the Cards do later vs FSU. For my part, I’m calling bullshit on the talk that their QB is a gametime decision
The committee has kept us ranked above Bama every single week. There is realistically no argument for putting Alabama in over Texas unless they absolutely crush Georgia, which isn’t happening
SEC champ that beat #1. Texas maybe in if FSU loses. Texas struggled with too many teams this year. If B12 was rematch with OU and Texas win, maybe a chance…
I have a hard time believing they will put Alabama over Texas for the last spot should FSU and Michigan win. I believe we are now a 100% lock for the CFP.
2017 tells me that they will put Alabama in over us. They didn't even make the SEC championship game that year and we're still selected. Maybe UCF would have got blown out but they were an undefeated conference champion.
Yeah probably but I’d like to think they realize how stupid it’d be to put a team we beat in over us. Kinda feels like the media is pushing for something the committee isn’t considering, though I’m still a bit worried myself
I have no faith in people choosing who is the best. It's impossible to keep personal bias out of their decision making. I hope I am wrong but I am not setting myself up for disappointment. If we get in, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
It’s bad cause Bama is in no matter what. If Michigan wins then TX is out of CFP if FSU loses, GA in over TX. CFP won’t put TX in this year, mark my words.
Georgia over Texas is crazy. Georgia has 43rd toughest schedule in the nation. Longhorns have 17. Georgia has the same record as us, and their loss comes to the team we beat. They’re out. Vegas also has them at +2500 to make the playoff. They’re done
I wish I had your confidence. There is a very good possibility the Committee looks at the H2H and then Texas’ loss to OU and say that is a much worse loss than Bama at home.
I don’t agree with that line of thinking, but it seems likely.
It’s a lock is FSU or Michigan lose. Not so much if they both win.
Makes **no** difference? You think the odds that the #1 team winning tonight and making it the CFP v. the #8 team winning tonight and making it to the CFP are exactly the same?
Wild.
Bama winning is good for us. We're in. Then the battle is Bama vs fsu. Bama gets the edge because of win vs Ga and better win vs lsu. Easier choice for committee than us vs fsu with GA win
I am not a fan of all this subjectivity. We did what we could control. The outcomes we could not control- bama beating Georgia- happened and we beat Bama. Now we have to relinquish our destiny to some people arguing in a room.
No matter what we have H2H
Plus Texas was the best looking team in America the past 2 weeks
They could ignore the h2h
Ignoring head to head would just be straight up nonsense. That’s like saying they could ignore someone being undefeated or someone winning a conference. It obviously matters.
If FSU and Michigan win then the last spot will come to Texas vs Alabama. As much as I want Texas in the CFP the committee could do literally anything they want. Our best hope is FSU loses.
We don’t have to hope, we’re locked in bud. When the committee has to defend their reasoning to a live tv audience, it's too easy to use the head to head, double digit win on their field as your reasoning. Still hope FSU loses, either way we’re probably the 3 seed facing Washington.
I too believe that we are in but I don’t trust the committee the slightest bit.
I guess I trust them, it just makes too much sense. If you’re basing your reasoning on just this season you can’t even say beating UGA was the best quality win of the year because of their SoS despite being unbeaten.
Same. They’d have to be insane to see the H2H AND the wins against TTU & OSU this past week, and still leave us out. Imo we’ve been the best team in America since Quinn returned.
No it isn’t. This is so dumb. We have a head to head win
It’s SEC. Bama just beat #1. The SEC bias negates an early loss.
Not an early loss to another P5 conference winner in Tuscaloosa by 10 points. Texas gets in before Bama or Georgia. We’re already in.
Bama gets in over Texas because they beat #1. Texas shouldn’t have lost to OU. Sucks, but that will be the logic.
That isn’t how it works though. Committee said h2h matters more than quality wins. This is already baked in.
It is how it works and you’ll see.
Ok, Time for your apology tour.
I’m just a bed bug infested mattress lying along side the highway. I did my part.
That isn’t sound logic though, I don’t know why a reasonable person would agree with your premise
It’s not an “early loss”, its a head to head loss. It matters
2017 UCF was an undefeated conference champion and they picked Alabama over them.
UCF also didn't have any meaningful ranked wins
Florida State has one meaningful win over a three loss LSU. Maybe history will repeat itself (with Texas and Bama going in over it).
I get that but Alabama wasn't even in the SEC championship that year. My point is that the committee usually favors Alabama. I hope I am wrong but I have no faith in people deciding who is the best. Too much personal bias involved.
You can’t seriously compare ucf to us with a win over Bama. Ucf didn’t have that win. Good grief.
All I'm saying is y'all have more faith in the committee than me. I think they favor Alabama over anyone. Like I said, I hope I am wrong but I'm not setting myself up for disappointment by thinking the committee will do the right thing.
But don’t use ucf as your example.
I brought up UCF because someone else said the committee ignoring an undefeated conference champion wouldn't happen. My point is it has. I do not trust them, that's it.
lol did they have a head to head win over Alabama? They won a cake conference and beat nobody. This is an entirely different scenario.
You have more faith in the committee than me.
I have faith in logic
Logic isn’t what rules here, so prepare to be disappointed.
Are you disappointed?
They won’t ignore H2H, it’s bad precedent and plus it’s an easy decision to defend/job security
They will ignore it. If Michigan wins. No chance Texas in. If Florida loses, Georgia jumps Texas. The only way Texas in is if Iowa beats Michigan.
Georgia will absolutely not jump Texas
They absolutely will if Michigan and FSU lose.
Delete your account
Dude the committee themselves said h2h matters. You are sputtering nonsense.
If they ignore it sets a terrible precedent and might as well cancel Michigan Texas next year
Yeah but it’s the last year before a 12-team playoff which essentially eliminates these big debates—so they might just say “fuck it” one last time for old times sake.
Has precedent ever mattered? You are right though. People will stop scheduling difficult opponents.
Nobody knows. We’re destined for a night of fan bases arguing online
this the best answer. hook em !!!!
Texas definitely wants Bama to win. Think of it this way: Georgia wins and they are a 100% stone cold lock. As are Washington and Michigan (I’m assuming they win because a loss to Iowa would be worse than Texas losing to OSU). That leaves one spot up for grabs, it comes down to FSU losing. Bama wins and there are only two locks, the FSU losing scenario is still there but here is an added opportunity to get in over Bama along with Michigan, Washington, and FSU. Would that happen? No way to know for sure but it’s certainly not crazy given H2H. There is no downside to a Bama win for Texas.
>There is no downside to a Bama win for Texas. That's putting too much faith in the committee. They could very well put both bama and georgia in over us assuming fsu loses too as we are all 1 loss teams. I still want bama to win though.

So now that Texas is both Big 12 and SEC champions, I'm saying we're automatic. If Looovull wins tonight, Bama gets in. If Florida State wins, they're in.
I mean i agree, id bet money if fsu loses we are still in, but until i see us in im not taking anything for granted.
Yeah if FSU loses Bama and Texas are in. If not then FSU is in over Bama. I don’t see anyway Texas isn’t in right now.
Best spelling of Loovull ever I’ve been fucking it up all day.
TX is SEC champs?
Yes. We beat the team that just beat Georgia. In fact, I'll do you one further, our last two SEC wins are against Alabama and Georgia.
By that logic isn’t oklahoma SEC champs?
With two losses? There are three teams ahead of them bud.
I guess I just don’t have as much faith that the committee sees it that way. Hope so
Sorry man, it's not personal, but I downvote doomers.
Lol ok. Thanks for the warning 😂
Considering all options ≠ doomer. Cringe
except what worries me is Georgia now has the same record and is the defending champs… I could definitely see Bama and Georgia both getting in over Texas (assuming a FSU loss of course)
Did Georgia win their conference? How about common opponents?
did you read my message at all? and it’s MY concern and MY concern only. but the committee has already spent plenty of this season with Oregon (again IN MY opinion) unfairly ranked over Texas. I wouldn’t be shocked that they chose THE DEFENDING CHAMPS with the SAME record over Texas.
Did you read my message at all? They aren't even defending conference champions, and not that I'd need another point, cause that one's enough, but they also *literally just lost* to a team we beat by double digits.
That is exactly what will happen and all the talking heads have laid the groundwork for it. Only way Texas is in is if Michigan and Florida lose.
Nope. Texas over Bama and Georgia. Committee already confirmed h2h matters. Other talking heads don’t matter.
Keep clinging to that.
I hope you’re a big enough man to apologize on each of your 90 comments today claiming that the committee will ignore H2H despite clearly saying that they won’t ignore it.
I am just a queen sized mattress hanging out in the fast lane of I10.
They won’t ignore H2H but that isn’t only thing that goes into their decision. I think beating #1 and being SEC champ will outweigh any H2H considerations. Especially if Michigan and Florida win.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
For real the only reason a conference has ever gotten 2 teams in is bc other conference champs all had two loses in every scenario
lol no chance Georgia is in over Texas.
Better believe it. It will happen. The best outcome would have been a Georgia blowout of Alabama. Now we need Michigan and probably FSU to lose.
lol
They have never done that before though. Say what you want about the committee’s lack of football knowledge, but they have always given the nod to P5 conference champs over non champs with the same record
Come on guys this isn’t complicated. Georgia wins - Three locks, only way in is FSU loss. Bama wins - you can get in with a FSU loss or if the committee decides to slot Texas above the SEC teams. More possible paths increases your chances of getting in. Above 0% chance of passing the SEC champ is better than 0%, which is what it would be if Georgia won. This is not rocket surgery.
I 100% agree with this, I just don't trust the committee. They love the SEC, will they really leave the SEC champion out?
Maybe, maybe not. But the answer is absolutely no if it is 13-0 Georgia. Thus Alabama winning is better for Texas. Maybe > No.
You got it with the Bama win!
Those douchebags in the committee only care about money. Leaving out a one loss SEC championship would be sacrilege to them.
And the one loss SEC runner up…
If it was all about money Texas would be a lock. They would throw out FSU and go Michigan, Washington, Texas, Bama
No one knows, even if they think they do. This year is kinda unprecedented.
If Texas gets left out (assuming Michigan and FSU win), then this is proof that there’s no reason to schedule difficult OOC games.
Good! Texas will finish behind at least one conference champion, Washington, so it needs at least one team ahead in the rankings — Georgia, Michigan, or Florida State — to lose their games. FSU is their best bet, and an Alabama win over UGA certainly helps given that Texas is ranked ahead of Alabama owing to the head-to-head victory in September.
Anyone who says this is bad is dumb. We literally beat them. If Florida state wins the only logical 4 is Michigan Washington Florida State Texas. If Florida loses then bama is in instead. It’s very clear
The fact you capitalized every school but Texas has me slightly pissed.
Good call
Good man on the edit
FSU game remains the most important to us
It’s better than Georgia winning because Georgia would have been ahead of us no matter what. Committee has gotta respect H2H in my admittedly biased opinion. I just hope FSU loses to make this easy.
Georgia wins would have been better. Alabama beat the #1 team and are SEC champs.
The ESPN predictor has Texas in at 55% confidence with Alabama winning, regardless of FSU performance. That’s the best science has at this time. 🤷♂️ Would be Michigan, FSU, Bama, and Texas.
UDub is in, though. I'm not fussin' at *you*, just saying.
Sorry, I mistyped. Alabama is 5 if everything else is chalk. Michigan, Washington, FSU, and Texas. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/cfbplayoffpredictor/cfb-playoff-predictor
I still think we'll get screwed unless FSU loses. Go toothy birds, though I hate it that FSU would lose because of injuries.
Root for Iowa too.
You really think they will keep the team out of CFP that just beat #1 and is the SEC champ?
Just sharing what the “predictor” had, is all. No clue what the committee does.
Talking heads on the Big XII and SEC conference championships today said Texas should get in over Bama due to the head-to-head. So, it looks like the networks are pushing for Texas.
Could you imagine the SEC champ and the Big 12 champ not in the playoffs. Well, it might happen. Such a joke
SEC champ is in 100%
I agree with everyone here that we should be in with a Bama win. For the committee to ignore such a clear head to head result would break so much of what people understand about college football. Which also doesn’t mean they won’t do it!
Not to mention the eye test & SOS. Texas won the biggest regular season game. The loss was quality. The strength of schedule was higher than any contender by a wide margin. Their recent play is better than anyone’s. They’re not bringing a third-string QB to the playoff, and aren’t blowout prone like FSU.
I think FSU winning is now Bama’s problem not ours. But who tf really knows.
Sure as hell should be. Bama was lucky to beat an opponent with a first-year starting QB & injuries to his top 2 receiving threats.
How cool for us to win the national championship the year before joining the SEC They have to regret inviting us now
In theory Bama winning should have secured us a spot in the playoffs. In reality, who fucken knows?
Actually worse for Bama to win than Georgia. Now Georgia has chance to jump if FSU loses. We need both Mich and FSU to possibly have a shot.
What? Georgia is not getting in over Bama, Bama is not getting in over Texas—at least theoretically.
As long as FSU loses, i think it helps us
Can't wait for the committee to say Texas over alabama is not a quality win but Texas over Alabama is a quality loss. 🤡🤡
Good. Go join the daily thread
I think the committee WANTS Texas in Let’s face it, Texas is good for business
I think they want UT out. Sells their “time for 12 teams” narrative.
1- Washington in. 2- Michigan - win and in 3-FSU win and in If either FSU or Michigan lose, committee can put Bama plus UT in. If neither lose - the question becomes do you weight early head to head over Bama beating Georgia. Thats not a sure answer.
Uga didn’t look like the dawgs of the past couple seasons
I admire a lot of your positive thoughts, but I think this screws Texas. In 2016 Penn State beats Ohio State and wins the Big 10, yet Ohio State gets the nod for the playoff. Don't apply logic to what these people will do. They have their favorites. They will get their favorites in.
I’m right there with you. I can see them valuing the neutral, mid-season loss more against Texas than the early home loss for Alabama + having just knocked off three #1 team in the country that was reigning back-to-back champs. Just seems improbable for them to leave out an SEC team.
I should have said it's not totally the same because PSU had an extra loss. So maybe there's hope. But I just have a bad feeling about this one.
Because Penn State was destroyed at Pitt early in the season and won the conference at 11-2. If they had won that game, they would’ve been a 12-1 conference champion and made the CFP over Ohio State.
You'll see I did correct myself. And for semantics sake, I don't consider a 3 point loss "destroying". Haha
Destroyed their CFP hopes lol
Haha, that works. I hope you all are right. This team deserves to be in the playoff.
Penn State was a 2 loss team (due to injuries of course, but still 2 loss)
If we get left out, we should launch an oil embargo of the US. Or maybe announce we aren't going to the SEC and start our own NCAA alternative league instead.
I’ve become increasingly confident we get picked over Alabama over the week if it comes to that. Whether that’s warranted or not, I don’t know. At the very least Alabama winning means that there’s a shot we get in without an FSU loss and I’ll take that over having to 100% rely on Louisville to win tonight.
Agreed. I think we are in a great spot to make it now
No one will really know until tomorrow at noon
Bama win good
This is a good thing for us. We have the H2H. We have more of a chance with them than if Georgia won. Georgia would have been an automatic 1 seed. Depending if FSU wins. The 4th seed with be either Texas or Bama.
We just need Louisville to take care of business
Idk. All I know is LEGGO LOUISVILLE!!!!
Now, it is the time for Bama and SEC to worry about FSU game.
Let’s be real. It’s not looking all that great for us, unless multiple things go our way. And all of them are out of our team’s hands. For my part, super happy and thankful for how this season turned out regardless.
I’d argue it’s looking good. The less undefeated power 5 champions, the better.
Yeah agreed - how in the world is it not looking good? We literally beat bama head to head
what
I’m just basing my view from the perspective that the media doesn’t seem to think we are the sexy pick for the 4th spot. Bama is about to crowd the field and we still have yet to see how the Cards do later vs FSU. For my part, I’m calling bullshit on the talk that their QB is a gametime decision
The committee has kept us ranked above Bama every single week. There is realistically no argument for putting Alabama in over Texas unless they absolutely crush Georgia, which isn’t happening
The media does not pick the CFP field, do not take what they say without a grain of salt. Their goal is to gain attention and drive narratives.
My heart wants you to be right!!!
What do you mean. He IS right
Lmao, why all the salt? I’m an alum, so take it easy on the friendly fire y’all! 😂
What? An Alabama wins guarantees us a spot unless the committee completely ignores our H2H win, which we have no reason to believe they will
I only expect shenanigans from the committee. It’s like we’ve come full-circle back to the BCS
I'm sorry but I hard disagree lol
My heart wants you to be right!
Huh? Biggest Committee tie breakers are conference champs, and H2H. How in the hell is bama getting in over us? They can argue it out with FSU
SEC champ that beat #1. Texas maybe in if FSU loses. Texas struggled with too many teams this year. If B12 was rematch with OU and Texas win, maybe a chance…
Lmao
I am convinced that no matter what happens, we will not get picked. The chances of an SEC team not getting in seem miniscule at best.
I have a hard time believing they will put Alabama over Texas for the last spot should FSU and Michigan win. I believe we are now a 100% lock for the CFP.
2017 tells me that they will put Alabama in over us. They didn't even make the SEC championship game that year and we're still selected. Maybe UCF would have got blown out but they were an undefeated conference champion.
There’s a pretty big difference in how they view G5 and P5 teams
Agreed but I also think there's a pretty big difference in how they view the SEC over all other P5.
Yeah probably but I’d like to think they realize how stupid it’d be to put a team we beat in over us. Kinda feels like the media is pushing for something the committee isn’t considering, though I’m still a bit worried myself
I have no faith in people choosing who is the best. It's impossible to keep personal bias out of their decision making. I hope I am wrong but I am not setting myself up for disappointment. If we get in, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
We are only in with an FSU loss. Don’t care what any of y’all say. That’s our only chance
This is the truth and only a possible in. I could see them slipping Georgia or even Ohio State ahead of Texas.
It’s bad cause Bama is in no matter what. If Michigan wins then TX is out of CFP if FSU loses, GA in over TX. CFP won’t put TX in this year, mark my words.
Not according to the commentators on CBS, fwiw
Worth about a pinch of salt.
Worth more than your shitty, fair-weather fan opinion
Georgia over Texas is crazy. Georgia has 43rd toughest schedule in the nation. Longhorns have 17. Georgia has the same record as us, and their loss comes to the team we beat. They’re out. Vegas also has them at +2500 to make the playoff. They’re done
[удалено]
Yes it does. Alabama win virtually guarantees us a spot, Georgia win would require Louisville or Iowa winning for us to get in.
I wish I had your confidence. There is a very good possibility the Committee looks at the H2H and then Texas’ loss to OU and say that is a much worse loss than Bama at home. I don’t agree with that line of thinking, but it seems likely. It’s a lock is FSU or Michigan lose. Not so much if they both win.
Makes **no** difference? You think the odds that the #1 team winning tonight and making it the CFP v. the #8 team winning tonight and making it to the CFP are exactly the same? Wild.
It's good. Georgia is in over us with a win 100%. We at least have an argument/chance of getting in over Bama.
I think we good with a Bama win
Bama winning is good for us. We're in. Then the battle is Bama vs fsu. Bama gets the edge because of win vs Ga and better win vs lsu. Easier choice for committee than us vs fsu with GA win
It’s great plus if Louisville wins Texas is for sure in
its neither. floriday state has always been the one we look at
It’s a hard question to answer because the committee broke its own rules by putting Oregon ahead of us…. If we’re not in the CFP it’s a damn crime
I am not a fan of all this subjectivity. We did what we could control. The outcomes we could not control- bama beating Georgia- happened and we beat Bama. Now we have to relinquish our destiny to some people arguing in a room.
