Would you put money on Texas being in if Texas, Alabama, FSU, and Michigan all win?

God fucking dammit, that's what we want to happen. If Georgia wins in that scenario we are 100% out. 

Why do y'all struggle with this so much? It's not even that complicated.

In a scenario like that, either Texas and FSU are in, or Texas and Bama are in with FSU out. If Texas finishes this game strong, they can't and won't leave us out for a team we beat head to head on the road. 

I just don't see them leaving out a one loss SEC champion Alabama.

The thing is, we beat them head to head, haver a stronger SOS, and are the only team in the field to have a win over another conference champion. I do not see a viable argument for Bama to get in. Which is why they will screw FSU.

But they would be the conference champion by beating the undefeated number one team in the country.

And we beat the team that beat the undefeated #1 team. We would have the best win in the country for the year. I am not sure how you are not seeing that we played them on the road and beat them head to head. There is no need to play hypothetical and compare resumes (and ours is better) because we did that in Tuscaloosa and we won by 10.

I completely understand what you're saying. I'm playing devil's advocate. Not everyone will view our win in Tuscaloosa in September as a better win than Alabama beating Georgia today.

I just don't see a rational argument for Bama over Texas other than "SEC! SEC! SEC!" and I do not think the committee is gonna go for that. Bama has been behind us all year (and for good reason). 

I think a large segment of the country wants to see Bama out and Texas in. I know I would if a different team, let's say Clemson, had beaten Bama and was in the same situation. 

Shit! Hopefully Ewers can come back in.

He’s back in

Fuck everything about this, we're one of the 4 best teams no matter how the games today end up.

I can’t wait for the day when humans aren’t involved in rankings. Fuck these old fucks 

Man, FSU may want to win by a decent margin. I didn't think it was possible for them to go undefeated and miss out but.... damn.

Only if we are sitting there with a 1 loss Bama imo. I dont think theyll leave out undefeated FSU for Texas. They WILL leave them out for Bama.

Yeah I don't know. It's a weird situation. I doubt anyone outside of Tallahassee thinks FSU is actually better than Texas. 

But still, if they beat the #14 team in the country with their third string QB, and finish unbeaten... 

Yoir argument has been addressed a million times. Not my problem if your mom dropped you in the head while doing the mailman.
0
Washington in, 0% chance we get that spot.
Oregon in, >0% chance.

You can't argue that, so instead you argue a point that nobody made.

I realize there's a lot of moving parts and that's confusing for you. But that doesn't mean just conceding potential spots is the best option.

At the end of the day the best chance is FSU losing.

STFU about PAC 12 shit. It is over. Washington is in. Move the fuck on.

Didn't he say this morning that both Washington and Oregon should get in? Getting crowded there RG3.

Welp we took care of business. Onto the last 3 P5 conference championship games. Let's see where it falls.

Go Louisville and go Iowa!

I think Washington winning actually helped Texas. There is a 0.0% chance that the committee would have seen the error of their ways, admitted to being wrong, and put UT in over Oregon if both won. They would have wanted absolutely no part in trying to explain how a team with the [had they won] Heisman winner who beat an undefeated Top 3 team for their conference champion got jumped by a team that beat a 3-loss OSU. Zero point zero.

There was a 0.000000000001% chance that if Georgia won, Louisville won, and Oregon won extremely controversially with the NCAA coming out and admitting that UW got screwed and should have won, that a one-loss UW gets in over a UT that hypothetically struggled to beat OSU.

So both functionally zero, but you guys have spent 72 pages arguing about it, so congrats.

Then again, I have absolutely no idea what playing meaningful football in December feels like, so I can't judge.

Daaaaaaaamn

If anything we gave the committee the perfect reset point to evaluate how they had everyone ranked. Oregon was overvalued. Texas was undervalued 

Fuck every single committee member that doesn't vote to put us in. Fuck you straight to hell where you get reamed by donkey dicks multiple times a day.

Dinnich on espn now.  She's fit into the dumb camp on this thread.

I think they'll take 

Washington

Texas

SEC winner 

Michigan

If they're really interested in the four best during the season and at the end of the season.

We did, I just can't see it happening.

Some of y'all are in the vicinity of that committee room.

Show up with some hookers and blow and I think you can make a real difference.

1. Washington win. [emoji736]️

2. Texas win. [emoji736]️

3. Georgia win.

4. Michigan win.

5. Florida State loss. Or very crappy win.


2 out of the optimum scenario done. Alabama could win if Florida State loses. Then Texas AND Alabama might get in and leave Georgia out, but I'd rather not risk them putting Georgia and Alabama in and leaving us out.

I can see an undefeated FSU getting left out if SEC champ Bama and Big 12 champ Texas are both sitting on a loss and it becomes a question of leaving the SEC out. I think they will fuck over FSU because that will be less controversial than leaving out Texas who beat the SEC champ head to head.

Should, sure.

But they're not leaving out a 13-0 ACC champ, if FSU wins.

We need Louisville to take care of business.

It'll depend on how FSU wins. If they win 49-10, then they're in. If they win 10-7, then maybe not.

We need to root for a Bama win right now, and if you cant understand that, you cant be helped.

Agreed. How the game looks is very important. 

If we get into the playoffs, 

~ They give us a month to get healthy

~ Give Sark a month to scheme up 

~ This team is peaking at the right time

 

 

They don’t want to see US!!! 
Fuck around and find out for real!!

That isn't optimum, but whatever, but I guess it would do.

Bama if you aren't stupid.  The answer must be different if we already knew that Louisville or Iowa had won.

It doesn't matter, although some think there's actually a chance the secsecsec gets left out if Bama wins. The secsecsec is in either way, fsu is the game that matters 



We need to root for a Bama win right now, and if you cant understand that, you cant be helped. 


I don't trust the committee to leave out the SEC and put us in if FSU rolls Louisville. Better to not have to worry about it.

There isn't the team in the country that wants to play us right now. This team can have trouble playing with full intensity at times, but once we got past Iowa State that became a non issue. Our hair is on fire if they put us in the playoff and they know it. If we had to play FSU for a spot in the playoff we would cover whatever they needed us to.

Bama if you believe the committee will exclude the SEC champion if FSU wins.
