Why hate 'em just for the rapin' & the coverup when there's so much more? I've hated 'em ever since watching those hypocritical bastages dance on the Longhorn at midfield after the game in 1989. And if that doesn't get you going, there's always Grant Teaff's giftwrapped last game against us in 1992. Indeed, SO many reasons to hate them.

Yep ... and the murdering, and the animal torture and killing, etc, etc ... If there was ever a program or even a whole athletic department that should have gotten the death penalty, it's Baylor's.
December 7, 20232 yr 6 hours ago, WhatTheBuck said: Wrong. If Jordan Travis had remained healthy then undefeated FSU would’ve been in. They would’ve been ranked ahead of 1-loss Texas. And what would’ve really chapped your gears was that 1-loss Alabama would’ve gotten the 4th slot by virtue of having a better loss than Texas had. The committee has demonstrated in the past that the quality of a loss counts against a team more than the quality of a win benefits them. Plus given the history of the playoff, not to mention both the playoff’s and the SEC’s partnership with ESPN, a 1-loss SEC champ isn’t going to be left out. That’s part of why Texas is joining the SEC, right? It would’ve been a tough pill to swallow but UT would’ve swallowed it, knowing they were going to be part of ESPN’s favorite conference going forward. Texas fans would scream that it was totally unfair to rank Alabama ahead of them since Texas won the head-to-head matchup, all while forgetting that 99.9% of them thought TCU got screwed out of the playoff in 2014 when in fact it was Baylor whom they should’ve been arguing for since they’d defeated TCU head-to-head that year. No, FSU would have been ahead of Alabama. Alabama took FSU’s spot, not Texas.

Please post links with statements or actions made by the committee in the past that support "quality of loss" is more important than the results of a head to head.

Which is why I was befuddled by some of the waterheads here rooting for UGA in that game. We needed one of UGA, FSU or Michigan to lose to guarantee our spot.

December 8, 20232 yr weird little tidbit i just thought about...someone check me on this but my recollection is that since colt beat ohio state in the fiesta bowl for the 2008 season, texas has not played a bowl game against a team that was not from the sec or pac12. doesn't bode well for michigan in the semifinal.

January 9, 20241 yr Surprise surprise, the ONE Pac-12 voter (Jon Wilner) had us ranked all the way down at #7, behind Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, and Florida State.

But they were legit. The Big 10 west definitely has broken the advanced stats when it comes to defense. Even on the ones that are "opponent adjusted" it makes it seem like 5 of the top 20 defenses in the country are in the worst division of any power 5 conference. That said, Michigan's defense this year was insane. Dumping Don Brown to bring in the ravens D, first with McDonald, and now with Minter, was the move that saved Jim Harbaugh's job and got Michigan a National Championship. As crazy as it sounds, I would rather Harbaugh go to the NFL and Minter stay in AA next year with Sherrone as head coach, than to lose Minter. Dude is a wizard, to have such perfect game plans against Bama and Washington is amazing.

But they were legit. That was the whole thing with their old DC Don Brown. Under him Michigan would always have the nation's #1 defense heading into the Ohio State game, then get roasted. But Michigan finally figuring out how to stop Ohio State once Urban left got them over the top.
