FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)

Featured Replies

national media perception is a thing. I can see where we could be left out.  the bullshit is the sec media is saying same shit. they are against us also which is bullshit but expected. the big 10 has whole heartedly accepted their additions and are talking them up every corner like Oregon as number 1. when we were number 1 our own sec media was still talking shit how we haven't played anybody. then we lose to Georgia and they say "told you they suck and aren't sec ready". what the sec media should be saying is that was a tough sec game who could play again for a championship. our sec media says we suck then the national media picks it up and there you go. fuck em all.

    I'd rather stay behind Georgia until they come to Austin.  Same way I felt about being behind SC in 05.  I'd rather have something to prove than something to defend.

    You say a lot of stupid shit and you do it at a rapid, voluminous rate. You’re like a shit howitzer, just fucking blasting the board with constant bullshit.

Holy shit... and, I could be going full regard here... and i might be wrong.. but.. 

I think we've found an actual thing that all of Surly agrees on aside from fact that ousux and aggie is a cult..

Can it be that we all agree Miami is a paper tiger with a great QB? 

https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/42153053/projecting-college-football-playoff-top-12-week-10

1. Oregon

2. Ohio St

3. Georgia

4. Miami

5. Texas Longhorns

Quote

Why they could be here: Wins against Michigan, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt won't exactly wow the committee -- it's possible none of them are ranked on Tuesday -- but they're all above .500 and the Longhorns' lone loss is to Georgia. Texas is also No. 2 in the country in defensive efficiency, trailing only Tennessee.

Why they could be lower: Texas enters the first ranking off a bye, and with little to brag about in recent weeks. The Longhorns were fortunate to escape Vanderbilt with a 27-24 win following the double-digit home loss to Georgia. Texas gave up four sacks and had 10 penalties for 107 yards against the Commodores.

Need to know: The Longhorns will likely face only one more ranked opponent during the regular season -- rival Texas A&M. If they finish with two losses and don't play in the SEC championship game, the head-to-head losses to the Aggies and Bulldogs could knock the Longhorns out if there are other two-loss contenders with better wins. On the flip side, a win at Texas A&M would help the Longhorns on Selection Day if they finish as a two-loss SEC runner-up.

Toughest remaining game: Nov. 30 at Texas A&M

 

most programs have the same resume as Texas. maybe a few teams actually have great wins. this is where we need our sec media to fight back but they don't really like us either. the Vanderbilt game was not as close as the score. but push the narrative and there it is. Texas beats vandy and now they suck lmao

  • Popular Post

It is fucking bullshit to say Texas was lucky to escape Vanderbilt.  A stupid penalty that didn't affect the play kept it from being a 17 point win.  

"The College Football Playoff rankings show will air on ESPN, with the broadcast starting at 6 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Nov. 5"

 

Same day as election day.

Going to be a crazy night!

Yeah, Vandy was very fortunate not to lose by 17+

I don’t get these rankings. If Ohio St. isn’t above Oregon, they should be 5th since the top 4 spots are for the conference champs. And the Big 12 champ should be 4.

Who gives a flying fuck what snaggletooth Matt Hayes says or what any SEC fan thinks?  Why do y’all waste time worrying about this?

Agree wholeheartedly- problem is the perception that we’re a paper tiger in the media might keep us out of playoffs from another paper tiger that got in because their conference fluffers did their job and pushed a narrative. If Alabama or Georgia beat vandy the same way, they’d be talking vandy up as a quality win. Just win em all

The sec doesn’t want anyone ruining the “perception” that it’s a tough, brutal league. Texas coming in and winning it in the first season, after running Saban out of Bama by doing something they never could?

Broughton cost us 14 points of victory margin with that stupid targeting penalty. If that ends up being the difference maker...

Edited by satyanash

We need to stop giving a shit about anything other than winning out....

Oregon basically had an identical schedule including a trip to Big House.

Difference is they held serve at home and we gaped our vaginas.

The only other game that doesn't involve Texas that we should have a modicum of concern about is Bama v LSU because a Bama win puts us back in control of our SEC destiny.

pending results for the next month, a top-4 seed could go to a P4 champion ranked 5 or lower by the committee

Relax. Win out, sure. But a two loss Texas is in.

Get a fucking grip. If Texas is 10-2 or better, they’re in the playoffs. Christ.

You mean 11-2 or 10-3 depending on champ game I suppose. Still think we’re in good shape was just responding about all the media bullshit that we suck compared to everyone else. And perception 

Looking at the poll and Penn State's remaining schedule Mr. Row The Boat needs to do work in a few weeks.  

ha. LSU above aggy.  too funny.

  • immamac changed the title to 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #5 /#5 (AP/Coaches)

Perhaps the shitty voters will actually put Indiana in above Ohio State after they beat them week after next. Which, they very well could. Maybe if they beat both Michigan (very possible) and OSU people will finally give them a bit of the nob slobbing Oregon is getting.

Indiana v Oregon common opponents.

ULCA 13 - IU 42

ULCA 13 - Oregon 34

MSU 10 - IU 47

MSU 10 - Oregon 31

Georgia being 2 is horseshit. It should be Oregon Miami indiana Georgia Ohio State Texas.

Indiana isn't in some G5 shitter conference and they are blowing everyone out not scraping by.  

Hell, see my last post, they out performed Oregon on the 2 common opponents.

Indiana is absolutely getting fucked over, more than anyone, by the voters.

Every show I watch including sec homer shows act shocked when they see our percentage to make playoff. Then they go on about how Georgia whooped our ass and we don’t belong in the sec cause we can’t handle it. I’m paraphrasing of course but that’s what it sounds like to me lmao 

Can handle top five at this point in the season but start playing better on offense.

That's not at all what I heard in the SEC round up at the end of last night and they all had Texas in the top 5 one of them, iirc, above Georgia. 

Fuck sake this place is going full Texags with media conspiracy theories and "Trust in Sark" and zero critical thinking. God damn.

Texas wins out, Texas is in the playoffs. Find me one, single, talking head that disagrees. Post a video. Enlighten me.

Edited by BurntEyes

indiana is in great position

take care of business then win at the shoe & face the ducks on home soil:

win get a bye

lose host a playoff

lose at the shoe:

take a week off after purdue and host a playoff

hoosier is too high up the ladder for ranking to matter

the committee is going to fix the final rankings to get the brackets they want regardless of logic

remember, the committee can take anyone they want even if ranked lower than 12th

being 12th or higher only matters to a couple of g5 teams competing for their slot

The scenario I’m talking about is if we lose one more and don’t make sec championship. Perception will matter when 8 big 10 and sec teams are vying for 4 spots. And yes if we win out we’re sec champs and in 

SMU gets some respect finally.

Sorry Pitt.

I know, which is why they should have BYU as the 4th seed because that would be their actual playoff seed as of today.

There are not going to be 6 teams from each league that go 10-2 or better. There's no fucking way. 

There will either be 8 B10/SEC, 1 G5, 3 B12+ACC or 7 B10/SEC, 1 G5, 4 B12+ACC

I don't know if he agrees or not, but paper tiger and ref gifts aside an undefeated Miami this deep in the season is going to be top 5-10 every year. The talking heads, and moreso media folks have an odd passion for them. It's not ND strong but it's there and has been a long time. Cam Ward going off consistently, despite a terrible D, is just going to get voter love. That's the way that shit goes, always has.

Fify

There are two one loss teams ahead of them I’m not sure an undefeated Miami is getting the love many think they are. They are still undefeated and at this point in the season that’s a noteworthy fact. I still think many teams can beat them but it hasn’t happened yet.
