Why would anyone care if SMU got screwed?  They can just buy some Trans Ams.    Wait, that was aggy that bought the Trans Am for their player...

Uh Aggy bought a trans am for someone else’s player. 😂

The ACC was awful.  And yet they had a 6-4 record against the SEC this year.
 

Congrats to Wake beating Vandy. And UNC and Clemson beating South Carolina.

Florida State beat LSU and a Graham Mertzless UF.

Miami over the Aggies.

Georgia beat GaTech. UK over Louisville. Tennessee over Virginia. Ole Miss over GaTech.

The ACC won 1 game against the top half of the SEC. A&M might squeeze in as top half I suppose. The SEC won 3 against the top 4 in the ACC.

Lmfao at the Missouri coach having to drop off the interview for a call with Connor stallions. 

Would have rather seen FSU instead of Bama because, well, fuck Bama.  But I understand the reasoning for making Bama the #4 team.  

I will root for Michigan to beat Bama.  And then Texas to mudhole Michigan in the NCG.

That's what I was saying.  SMU didn't have to buy it.  Aggy did them the favor.

told this story before but I know a guy that played with Dickerson at Sealy and he said they watched the TA get picked up at school and then SMU got it back for Dickerson.

Against Louisville? That team doesn’t even finish in the top half of the Big 12 this year. Hard to say that’s a good D.

Share some more of your genius with us.

Rece was about to bust a nut

I love how the NCAA Division 3 playoffs start with 32 teams, the D2 playoffs have 28 teams, and the revenue-generating division has 4 teams.

He decided to go for it on 4th and 4 when they had 100% of the momentum.

 

When playing a stronger and deeper opponent, in overtime, the smart play is to go for the kill. That’s why we were shitting on Herman for not letting Sam go for two against OU in 2020. Now the play call selection is a different topic.

Time keeps ticking by and yet no mention on the Texas or Liberty Bowls... how hard is the SEC working to keep A&M away from Kansas, OSU, and KSU?

Sucks Covid is going back around. Aggies have terrible immune systems. 

Also sucks the B12 runner up doesn’t get a better opponent

I'm just glad the nightmare scenario happened to these dumbasses(and the universities) who protected the bowl system and didn't make this 8 teams 25 years ago.

They're lucky that UW won. Oregon, Bama, FSU, Texas would have been an even bigger nightmare. 

If ga wins yesterday, do we get the same consideration Bama or should I say sec received? Does FL St get knocked out in favor of us?

Well according to Sagarin, while Liberty had the #133 schedule, SMU had #118.

You talking about the Sagarin rating that has SMU #21 and Liberty #47?

Yes, they're certainly not good enough to be termed analysts are they?

All the teams that were up for debate had some unimpressive wins, but they won.  Bama looked mighty unsteady against USF and Auburn.  A three point win over TCU and a TD win over Houston that fired its coach is unimpressive. I’d go so far as to say that shutting out a ten win UL team without your all conference QB is not the shit performance you think it is, it’s a damn good coaching job. The key player rationale is in the stated reasoning and it’s what they’re gonna rely on.

I’m on Texas’ side here and think the committee needed to suck it up in the real world. But let’s not pretend that they do anything other than the easy “take four undefeated P5 teams” if UGA had won. 

FSU looked nearly as shittastic and horrible as -- to pick a game completely at random -- ATM did last season when they lost to App State. FSU likely caused even the most serious insomniac to doze off last night. They in no way belonged in the top 4 and the guidelines are clear about why. However we may need to talk about your declining to let go of not only a completely hypothetical situation, but one that will never, ever occur. Drinks on me!

At this point, if we go out in the first round...

(But fuck going out in the first round.)

No. Now that we are here, we need to win. And we can do it, there is no overwhelming powerhouse we should fear.

Who knows when we might be back to the semifinals?

Totally get what you’re saying and I’m aware Alabama is currently a two point dog.

Let’s see where this line sits in a week. Anyone here think Michigan is going to beat Bama?

Yes.

We don't need to win, but we certainly CAN win.

It's all gravy at this point.

Yep, fuck going the OU 1 and cue route.

FSU got fucked. Big-time. I’m a known Aggie and if you forced me to bite the bullet, I’d have said this is the proper slate: 

1. UM

2. UDub

3. FSU

4. Texas by virtue of H2H.

It physically hurts to type that but it’s true. 

If Georgia had won like everyone thought they would, then there’s no convo. Four undefeated conference champs, four slots. FSU got punished because Georgia lost and that’s a cowardly joke. 

The selection committee was in a no-win situation.  Too many deserving teams.  They knew they’d be criticized regardless of who they put in.

Who the fuck is going to attend the fiesta bowl? Oregon fans aren’t gonna travel to watch them play liberty and I assume liberty doesn’t have a ton of wealthy alumni traveling to Glendale.

If they were looking to avoid criticism, "We put in the 3 undefeated P5 conference champs and then the 1-loss P5 conference champ that beat the other 1-loss P5 conference champ by multiple scores, on the road, by running the ball for 7:00 straight and ending the game in victory formation on their opponent's field" would have done the trick.

Alabama/SEC would have whined because "We're the SEC and we're Alabama", but nobody else would have batted an eye.  Except ESPN...which is why they fucked FSU.

Forgot all about this, half a steak dinner!

To be fair, having no SEC teams in would have been a month long controversy/talking head show gold mine, only to reignite when Michigan or Washington beat FSU handily. A lot of pissed off people with a lot of money.

Leaving them out, people will feel bad for FSU for week, move on, then Georgia will beat them by 20, and everyone will shrug and say, "Guess they got it right."

Still fucked up and the wrong decision IMO, but probably the safer of the two from the committee's perspective.

Lower seed against UDub in Sugar Bowl?  Hope that means...Icy Whites AGAIN? 🙂 🤘

 

 

Why were we the visiting team at the B12 CCG, with the old North/South divisions no longer dictating that?

Not that I mind the icy whites.

We chose to wear our whites. 

Or, hear me out, FSU beats Georgia with their 2nd team QB because Georgia just didn’t want to be there.  🥲

Has been reported numerous times, but we were the home team & elected to wear icy whites.

Whatever happens in UGA/FSU…one side who thinks fsu got screwed will say SEE 13-0 DESERVED TO BE IN.. or the other side who thinks the committee got it right will be telling those we dodged a bullet.

Horns had the option being higher seed. We CHOSE the whites.
