Head to head doesn’t matter in a three or more team tie unless all the tied teams have played each other. (UT/aggy/ole miss for example)

November 1Nov 1 In that case, Ole miss played neither, and Texas has head to head over aggy , correct?
November 1Nov 1 Regarding Vandy, the committee has already shown they aren’t only concerned with W/L record. Last season they seeded Ohio State higher than Indiana, despite Indiana having one fewer loss and being in the same conference. Indiana had a joke schedule and Ohio State won the head to head A three loss Texas may miss the playoff, but it won’t be Vanderbilt taking their spot Edited November 1Nov 1 by UncleSonny

November 1Nov 1 Author Tonight the rooting (if you think 9-3 Texas) is South Carolina, OU and NC State.
November 1Nov 1 Correct. It would first come down to record against common opponents (just Florida and Arky). We would be 1-1 while the other two are 2-0, so we’d be out of that tie.Could see Ole Miss, but seems like a reach since there is a H2H result. Thanks for clarifying.
November 1Nov 1 I think we’re bullet proof if we win at Georgia. It’d be the best win in the country. That said, please God, don’t lose to aggy.

November 2Nov 2 If Texas played its best for four quarters, they could beat anyone. The same is probably true of the best teams though. The unknown is whether they can do it. $9.95 invoice incoming

November 2Nov 2 A 9-3 Texas will get in or they can kiss big non conference matchups good bye. No way the big wigs will let that happen. There will be a ton of pressure for a 9-3 Texas to make the playoffs. Illuminati type pressure.

November 2Nov 2 One week at a time. That's the mantra I've taken since the Florida loss. That and wearing that basic burnt orange Columbia shirt on Fridays. I expect you fuckers to be doing the same superstitious shit god damnit!

November 2Nov 2 all I know is, being on the bubble for the playoff makes you realize how stupid it is to basically give an automatic spot to a G5 school just because they won their dogshit conference. play nobody all year and get molested in the playoffs for the sake of inclusion.
November 2Nov 2 There were a few upsets today so some teams will fall and I think the ut no game is a knockout even they could be 9-3 too. Still other upsets could happen. Virginia losing could have helped down the line.
November 2Nov 2 If we don’t get in at 9-3, cancel every marquee non conference game moving forward and schedule Rutgers instead. Would be ridiculous to penalize a team that actually challenged themselves in addition to their 8 normal SEC games in favor of some of these teams that play total garbage out of conference.

(Not personal- just saying). also there is a very real chance we are like 11 or 13 in the CFP rankings released this week.

November 2Nov 2 3 hours ago, Jimbob said: If we win out we are in the playoffs and probably get the SECCG week off, and that might be good for this team. Bama, Aggy and Ole Miss all have the inside track on us to CCG while having easy remaining schedules. All true. But if we beat UGA and A&M, we’re in. I strongly suspect it’d be us versus Bama with A&M and Ole Miss high at-large seeds.
November 2Nov 2 Side note: there is zero upside to scheduling elite opponents OOC. "But the experience!" I'd rather experience playing them in the playoffs.

There used to be an upside during the years of the 4 team playoff. It benefited us greatly when we beat what would be an SEC champion Bama. I think it’s much less beneficial in the age of the 12 team playoff.
November 2Nov 2 4 hours ago, DaysOff said: That 3rd loss at uga drops you 20-25 range. How do jump high enough beating aggy? That would be a concern.

That's 50/50 in my mind and at that point we're talking rando bowl game. Agreed. 4 hours ago, Sgt Hulk said: Jesus fucking Christ.

And I get that take. But go back and look at their losses and our theoretical losses. losses to Tennessee(made the playoffs) and vandy(barely top 20 last year) and the worst OU team in 25 years. you could say the Florida loss is as bad as their OU loss. But losing to #1 OSU week one on the road? Top 5 Georgia on road? it’s not even in the same area code or comparable imo. 3 hours ago, Wulaw Horn said: Yep. And that’s why it’s a 65% chance and not a 90% chance. 11-2 Ga tech that lost in the ACC title game would be almost a perfect analog to last years SMU Yeah but I still think the Bama argument wouldn’t hold water this year against Texas. and yes we need the ACC/Big 12 loser to have 2-3 losses.

Let Texas be the leader on doing the right thing on this specific fight. If last season is any indicator, the loss column is what's most important to the committee. They can talk about not punishing OOC losses, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think playing some random P4 instead of an elite OOC opponent is doing the 'wrong' thing. We'll play around 4 marquee opponents every year in conference, then more in the playoffs if we get there. With realignment and the expanded playoff, there have never been more marquee matchups in CFB then there are now.
