December 8, 20241 yr Just now, Pancho said: If we are they’ll justify it because Penn State has a “current ranked win” and we don’t. Okay but we have better and closer losses than them. We also have a much better SOS and have been ranked ahead of them all year. Why would that suddenly change now. Also, we are Texas and being a helmet school gives us the benefit of the doubt.
December 8, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Sgt Hulk said: We have also lost to the only team with a pulse that we’ve played. Our schedule in reality has also been dog shit. Would it surprise you to learn that, going into this weekend's games, our SOS was 3rd strongest of the top 12, behind only Georgia and Alabama?
December 8, 20241 yr If we are they’ll justify it because Penn State has a “current ranked win” and we don’t. But that was the case yesterday as well, and they had us ahead.
December 8, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, The_Great_Hornsby said: I dont think they would do that. They would want to avoid a conf matchup in the first round. Also Texas earned the 5 seed. We’ll see what they ultimately decide, but there is a lot of debate online outside Texas circles about whether Penn State and/or Notre Dame should be seeded ahead of Texas. Really hard to predict how the committee will go, but I think it’s only realistic to assume ratings matter Edited December 8, 20241 yr by Steelers Roll Left

December 8, 20241 yr Bama getting butt fucked by the worst OU team in 40 years should be grounds for auto denial to playoffs.

Notre Dame has a better argument than they do. 1 minute ago, Chuckie Finster said: But that was the case yesterday as well, and they had us ahead.
December 8, 20241 yr If they would just rank 1-12 there would be zero issues but no we have to have this stupid conf champ bye thing.

December 8, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, UTexasFight said: Yeah think they go 5 Texas, 6 Penn st to ensure the only way a ccg rematch would be in the NC This, exactly this. It is on a silver platter for the committee and they will take it. Then with ND at 7, they get the intra state matchup with #10 IU. OSU #8 and Tenn #9 has been set for weeks. That just leaves 11 and 12 to sort out and we all know its gonna be Bama 11 and Clemson 12. Edited December 8, 20241 yr by The_Great_Hornsby

December 8, 20241 yr I’m not sure they’d knock ND to #7. Easy justification because of the NIU loss but the committee gonna committee, same reason Bama might still get in.
December 8, 20241 yr So what are likely matchups? ND (5) vs Alabama (12) (4) Arizona St Texas (6) vs Clemson (11) (3) Boise St Penn St (7) vs Indiana (10) (2) Georgia Ohio St (8) vs Tennessee (9) (1) Oregon
December 8, 20241 yr The Athletic playoff predictor: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5701128/2024/12/07/college-football-playoff-projections-odds/ Currently has us at #5, hosting #12 Clemson. They also have Alabama with an 84% chance to make the CFP, and SMU as the first team out.

ND is either #5 or #7, there is no in between. Texas and PSU are both ahead or both below them. I think ND is absolutely behind both. Their loss was terrible and their SOS was even worse.

December 8, 20241 yr 23 minutes ago, Pancho said: I’d take this I'll just be surprised if they drop 1 loss ND to 7, but maybe it makes a statement for them to join a fucking conference

December 8, 20241 yr Just now, Hermanator said: I'll just be surprised if they drop 1 loss ND to 7, but maybe it makes a statement for them to join a fucking conference But it's really only dropping them one spot to #5 in the rankings (jumped by Georgia). It's simply not dropping Texas or Penn State behind them for losing competitive CCGs.
December 8, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, ATXhorn17 said: ND also didn’t play the extra conference championship game. It’d be bullshit to rank them higher. PSU, Texas and ND all had one loss before the CCG. ND has BY FAR the worst loss of the 3 and the lowest SOS.
December 8, 20241 yr 11 minutes ago, Sgt Hulk said: Bama getting butt fucked by the worst OU team in 40 years should be grounds for auto denial to playoffs. Yeah, smu seems like they should be in the CFP playoffs over a bama team that only scored 3pts vs blOU

It's simply not dropping Texas or Penn State behind them for losing competitive CCGs. I agree it should happen, but I think it also matters where they want to put Alabama in relation to Clemson. I think the committee wants Alabama traveling to South Bend in December. That's a made for TV matchup
December 8, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, 'stache said: Yet they might punish SMU for the extra game. Committee gonna committee. SMU's only realistic shot was winning the ACC. It was never a given they would be in the playoff if they lost. That's not the case with either Texas or Penn State.
December 8, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: Yeah, smu seems like they should be in the CFP playoffs over a bama team that only scored 3pts vs blOU It's not happening. The SOS is way too big in favor of Alabama. SMU lost to the 2 best teams they played this year. No one they beat was ranked very high by the committee. They aren't using a single game to decide.
December 8, 20241 yr So everyone is leaving out Bama, so maybe it will be Texas vs SMU/Clemson. And I think we logically end up at the 5 seed still.

December 8, 20241 yr The way I see it is 1) Bama is really flawed but I would much rather play SMU or Clemson over them. 2) Boise State is the ideal match-up in the quarterfinals. They have played nobody and have been in a bunch of close games. That Clemson (rd 1) and Boise State (quarters) is the ideal draw.

December 8, 20241 yr I don’t know how they justify dropping us lower than 5th/6th. Should be 5th. Also some of those espn projections are stupid. Texas behind Ohio St? 2 losses, one to a team we destroyed and who didn’t play in their Conference Title game. Behind Tennessee, who also lost to a team we beat and didn’t make the conference title game.
