You're just preternaturally wired to have the worst possible takes, right?

Heather Dinnich, who hates us, just said Texas is in and is campaigning Bama over FSU. 

This is seeming like the way it's going to go. Bama will be lobbying for the FSU slot. Texas is in.

It is the way Vegas sees it. Vegas has Bama as a slight favorite over FSU. Texas clear favorite between the 3.

One host picked Texas #4 based on head-to-head, the other picked Bama because he thinks they’re the best team in the country right now and would beat Texas if they played head-to-head ‘now’

No one that watched Texas play today should be able to say that with a straight face. 

We've won our last 2 games by a combined 85 points. Bama eeked by Georgia and should have lost to Auburn. Again. If you want to value recent results more then okay. Over the last two games for each team Texas has looked more impressive overall. Go back another week and we won by 10 on the road in Ames at night (in November) and Bama played an FCS team.

But they'd line up and beat us this time around, because, why? I don't see it.

I’ll have whatever you people saying Texas is in already are smoking. FSU doesn’t deserve to be in but there’s just no reality that they got left out, or the SEC champ gets left out. We’re the odd man

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. 

This drives me nuts.  people are so fucking stupid.

I seriously don't understand why 90% of people don't understand this.

Texas is the SEC rep.

Burn it into your brains.

Texas is the SEC rep.

If Bama gets in over FSU, there will be two SEC teams in CFP (and both will deserve it).

For what it’s worth from a few minutes ago.

You guys want to be 3 and play Washington or 4 and play Michigan? I feel like I can argue both sides.

Replace Clemson with Louisville and I think you nailed it.

Yes, Alabama HAD the best win, until the new rankings came out after they won.

At which point, Texas will have the best win. Please note future vs past tense.

He’s a Clemson fan and it’s a joke you water heads

*Bama is going to be ranked 4th or 5th. Texas beat them on the road. 

*Georgia is going to be ranked 6th. Alabama beat them on neutral field. 

The idea "Alabama has the best win" is so fuckin stupid it's actually remarkable.

I don’t care if we play the Philadelphia eagles. I just wanna get in.

edit:  for context, she believes the committee will still see Georgia as one of the best teams that was ranked No. 1 and will also consider FSU having key personnel (QB or QBs) out.  Essentially, consider who they are now and consider whether they are one of the best four teams.

IMG_6519.thumb.jpeg.71b8fb04b518f43252a63f7fb44a6b93.jpeg

 

Ok we're in. Glad we all came together and settled it.

So it's just seeding.

Now, I'd like it if we're #3 and play Washington as #2.

Kinda continues the "settling old business" thread of this year.

Then we beat Michigan for the title and again in the rematch game next year.

Because something something secsecsec nonsensical bullshit. Oregon was supposed to easily beat Washington in the rematch right?

You're funny, but this is how it probably will be:

Michigan, Washington, Bo Nix, Texas.

Has anyone been over to Texags?  I just looked and they are melting down knowing that we are going to freeze the SEC out of the playoffs and then bring that swagger in next year.  It’s glorious!

If we do make the playoff and end up going to the Rose Bowl, I hope Vince will come with us. It would be rude to visit his house without him.

Who gives a fuck about seeding?  

We. Are. Peaking.

Edging.

Whatever it is you kids say.

 

I actually feel a little better about this team than I did the 09 team.  (Not the 08 team, dammit.)

Sure.  All that LOOKS right.  But then it’s Bama slaying Georgia.  Again, no idea why you’d be so comfortable not caring who wins that game.  Georgia wins and you’re guaranteed in with a FSU loss, but the Great Hornsby wants to leave it in the hands of the committee?  Lol

I didn’t say what would happen.  I did say what you guys should root for.  Cool paragraph though.

If Bama wins a close game against Georgia, both teams are in. No fucking way Georgia gets left out. Not happening.

Rooting for Bama and Oregon is the stupidest thing ever. 

 

On 11/27/2023 at 8:43 PM, UTEE97 said:

All of these scenarios show Bama above Texas if they win the SEC, as I have said many times here. In scenario 9, both Bama and UGA are above us. We really shouldn't want Bama to win the SEC. This will cause a lot of chaos/heartache for us. Since one SEC team is guaranteed, I much prefer that to be UGA. 

On 12/1/2023 at 10:16 AM, Lat22 said:

What the hell. I’ll play.  We need to win.  We need Georgia and Michigan to win. The winner of the PAC12 is in. Florida State loses. We’re in. 
 

If Bama wins, no way they’re leaving out Georgia. 

 

On 11/28/2023 at 9:17 PM, Valmy77 said:

I think Oregon and Bama need to lose. I don't want to have to compete with one loss Georgia and a one loss Washington if FSU losses. Best to eliminate Oregon and Bama. The winner of the SEC and Pac 12 are almost certainly going anyway.

GEORGIA WINNING IS GOOD FOR TEXAS GUYZZZZZ

Edited by The_Great_Hornsby

It would be cooler to play Michigan in the Rose Bowl, but Washington is worse and less talented top to bottom than Michigan or (more obviously) Alabama.  Washington is who I’d like to draw to maximize the chances of winning.  Penix isn’t actually that great a talent, either.  

Short version. Michigan is the better team but we match up against them better than we do Washington.

Austin PBS has Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the Ryman on, but you gotta sit through their fundraising.

They almost got me to buy some Willie Nelson merch, and now Nitty Gritty.  I need to be more relaxed about this CFP shit.

Helovious saying were our just sealed the deal we are 100 % in

Oh, and I'll say that if I was picking our opponent in the discussion it would be FSU in the Sugar.

I THINK it will be Washington in Rose.

So I predict:

1) Washington 

2) Michigan 

3) FSU

4) Texas

So I think Houston ends up looking like:

Which I personally would love.

But.. the most important thing is, I just want Texas to play!!!!

He's winning me over somewhat. I know we didn't have our full squad, but he does have scoreboard on us from last year. He's the real deal at QB and should be respected by Sark if we have to face him again.

Oh come on! I corrected myself later multiple times. That was four days ago, might as well have been four years ago for this thread.

Well, anyone who pays a lick of attention to college football is taking into account we beat said SEC champ in their house by double digits.

Washington defense is trash.  I'll take our chances.  (Penix is the real deal, though.)

That 09 team on that first drive was blowing out Bama.

We agree, against the opinion of most Surly. Michigan is a much better team than Washington in totality, if Washington's offense is a better match up against Texas.

Texas will score, a lot, on Washington.

I see people saying she's like the 'committee whisperer' or something. How accurate has she been previewing the rankings so far?

If it ends up Texas-Michigan in the national championship game, that would have to be one of the first times we get a national championship rematch in a non-conference game the following year.
