December 3, 20232 yr 9 hours ago, Huckleberry said: Texas needs to address this "Alabama has the best win" BS. Just point out that Alabama will be above Georgia so Texas has the best win. lol I heard that on TV and did one of these:
December 3, 20232 yr If Bama is in, we're the 3. If FSU is in, we're the 4. I hope we're the 4 just to get the Rose Bowl but I can live with gumbo and hurricanes.
December 3, 20232 yr Quote I hope they swap 1 and 2 , would rather play michigan I think we'd all like to play Michigan first, but that's not the way it's gonna be. UW is a hard match up for us. Going to have to harass Penix like no one has before. Our DBs play so far of the line they gonna get killed.

Conversely, if you defer to 13-0 and it comes down to Texas vs Alabama for the last spot, that is an easy decision. Texas 3, FSU 4 is logically inconsistent.

December 3, 20232 yr We kept Penix in check during the bowl game last year. He was pretty inefficient. They ran the ball all over our ass and that’s why we lost.

Yeah, it will be like selection Sunday for MM. Spend 5 minutes apiece building up each seed, with 5 minutes of commercials between each selection.

Yeah, I'm still going back and forth on if I want the 3 or 4 seed. I would not be overly excited to have to potentially beat Bama twice, so if we're assuming we'd be the 4 seed if FSU gets in, I think that's my choice.

I admit I haven't ever watched one of these live since it's been irrelevant to Texas. I would think they get on with it after 10-15 mins to have the spotlight before people start migrating to NFL games.

Putting FSU in a #3 is a real screw job to the #1 seed and I just can't see the committee doing that.
December 3, 20232 yr All i know is I'm about 99.99999% confident that my productivity levels at work are about to take a severe hit between now and new years...
December 3, 20232 yr How I think it’s gonna go Michigan vs Bama Washington vs Texas Best case scenario for Texas Michigan vs Texas Washington vs FSU

I would not be overly excited to have to potentially beat Bama twice, so if we're assuming we'd be the 4 seed if FSU gets in, I think that's my choice. We'd get U-Dub as the #3 seed, right? I'm okay with a Bama rematch for the National Championship. Playing Michigan first as the #4 will be ideal, though.

December 3, 20232 yr It don't make a shit who we play. If FSU is in (and it is looking that way by the Vegas odds) they are basically a bye anyways, so we will have to beat both Washington or Michigan either way.

This is not rocket surgery guys. You’re quite literally making it rocket surgery. Unequivocally the top 3 are Michigan, Washington, Texas. The debate is the 4th spot and is what the committee didn’t want period.

December 3, 20232 yr 25 minutes ago, MonkeyDoughnut said: Vegas likely would still make Georgia a favorite if they played Alabama tomorrow. Not so sure, I thought Georgia looked pretty pedestrian yesterday. I honestly haven't watched them play much this year, so maybe the last couple weeks are a byproduct of some of the injuries or just bad days. That said, I'm certainly enjoying the desperation coming out of Georgia right now. I guess it's Kirby's job to fight to the end, but the optics are delightfully pathetic.

This is not rocket surgery guys. Correct. Texas should be 4. It is the most defensible position for a committee leaving out Bama. Texas will be 3 if Bama is in.

Putting FSU in a #3 is a real screw job to the #1 seed and I just can't see the committee doing that. This is the only reason they would seed FSU #4. I don't think they would come out and say it but it would basically be "We felt like we had to put the 13-0 team in but it would be really weird to give the 2 seed a bye instead of the 1 seed." Their actual outward explanation, whatever it is, would make no sense.
December 3, 20232 yr Popular Post How many more pages can we get of people saying the same stuff over the next 2 hours. I say at least 5 and I'm here for it.
December 3, 20232 yr The committee has an out if they will take it. Five deserving conference champions, but one of them was caught cheating red handed. Leave Michigan out due to the cheating.. Would send a message to the schools and the conferences.
December 3, 20232 yr Changing my answer above…I could see the Committee giving Washington No. 1 based on 2 wins over Oregon is better than 1 win over OSU. That would but us vs. Michigan in the Sugar Bowl.

December 3, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Make em eat Taco Bell said: the UH and KSU close games will hurt us. Alabama won on a last second play to 6-6 Auburn, beat 4-8 Arkansas by 3 points, and was in a 3 point game vs 6-6 South Florida in the 4th quarter. But OK this apparently only impacts Texas.
December 3, 20232 yr How many more pages can we get of people saying the same stuff over the next 2 hours. I say at least 5 and I'm here for it.
December 3, 20232 yr I find I’m so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s an excitement only a long-suffering fan who has survived a brutal 15 years can feel, a fan at the start of a long journey into a new conference with great depth, coaching and recruiting. I hope the team makes it across the border into the CFP. I hope the team lifts another national championship trophy. I hope to watch them win again in person this season as I raise my hand to Hook ‘Em. I hope.

It's much cleaner to just have FSU at #4 which accomplishes the same thing without unnecessary #1 / #2 swaps.
December 3, 20232 yr ESPN talking like Texas is in is a foregone conclusion like Michigan and Washington. Seems good.
December 3, 20232 yr The Athletic has Bama in over us. Fuck Stewart Mandel.Already covered up thread. The consensus is that Mandel doesn’t know shit about fuck.
