November 16Nov 16 I can't really figure out a scenario where Texas makes the playoff at this point. Everyone who rooted for Oklahoma to beat Alabama should feel bad forever. At this point the locks for the playoff look like Ohio State Indiana aggy Alabama Georgia Ole Miss Texas Tech Notre Dame (Unfortunately) Some ACC dogshit Some G5 dogshit One of USC/ORE/MICH One of the other 1 or 2 loss teams (who cares) Will you be tuning into the playoffs at all or just pretending the season is over after aggy and the Alamo bowl? I personally think I'll be adopting Indiana mainly for the story and the hilarious outcome of a nothing program coming up in 2 short years under cignetti with NIL and the portal. Hoping everyone loses or they cancel the playoffs isn't an option. Will you actually watch playoff games at all? It's a question that I honestly haven't even thought of until now because Texas has participated in the last 2 and watching the other games meant something until they lost in the semis.

If the matchup is good, sure. If meh, then I’ll pull up baseball games from last season. LA/SD-SD/LA from last June sounds like a good place to start.
November 16Nov 16 We have three losses, just got smoke by Georgia. Who gives a shit about the playoffs. This is like a Aggie team that has three losses who hasn’t beaten anyone good that we would make fun of for making a case for the playoffs in the past. Beat them and salvage the season and don’t go 8-4. But this team doesn’t deserve playoffs and won’t win anything anyway in the playoffs anyway. Edited November 16Nov 16 by Hook1997
November 16Nov 16 Guess I'm going to root for whoever is playing against OU or A&M. More or less what A&M fans did the past two years.

November 16Nov 16 Not sure why Bama would be a lock over ou. I'll probably root for Tech as the best chance to threaten the B1G-secsecsec duopoly. BYU, ND, and any non-Miami ACC team too I guess (preferrably GT) Edited November 16Nov 16 by WBT

November 16Nov 16 Perhaps it's just because my team is shitty, but the playoffs don't excite me at all this year. Lots of mediocre football teams.
November 16Nov 16 I’ll watch., and root for, whichever G5 team makes it. Once they get get knocked out the football season is over for me. I’m not watching whatever piece of shit bowl matchup UT is in. It’s time for college baseball.

I will not watch the playoffs without Texas in it. no point.
November 16Nov 16 I like Marcus Freeman a lot but sick of ND. Half my family went to Tech so if they roll I will be happy for my family, particularly my uncle who had a stroke a few years back and is in poor health. I will hope for Indiana to fuck shit up I guess. What Cig has done there the past two years is nothing short of remarkable. Prior to his being HC there in Indiana’s entire history they never had a 10 win season, they now have two and that’s damned impressive.

The name brands in the top 10 are all lesser versions of recent years. Texas isn’t a playoff team. Programs like LSU and Clemson fell off a cliff. Indiana and aggy picked the perfect year to field decent teams. At least Indiana has beat some good teams. I still think aggy is a fraud that was gifted a win at ND (and possibly at Arkansas) by referees, got Mizzou’s #3 QB, an all time collapse by South Carolina, and could beat us to validate their greatness in their own minds. They beat a bunch of nobodies, but to their credit avoided stepping on their own dicks to lose to those mediocre teams in typical aggy fashion. I will never cheer for OU or aggy to win, even if some Texas berth is on the line (e.g. 2003 Big 12 championship KSU-OU).
November 16Nov 16 And to think my rage was contained largely to whether or not Disney would make a deal with YT so I wouldn’t miss out on critical games. I bleed orange but I need to shelve my expectations in order to be a die hard fan. It’s painful. We were fool’s gold. That’s the lure of Sark and his talent. I fully expected a close win last night since we appeared to be on a roll and we had a bye week to get ready. The end result was we don’t belong with the teams vying for a spot. We got asswhipped. Go Indiana I guess. It’s hard not to root for Cig. Especially since he re-upped with Indiana and took himself out of contention from the coaching carousel and Penn State. They proved they can finish last week. Like to see what they can do. I’d like to think we use the next few weeks and bowl appearance to get in much needed practice and evaluation and growth but I don’t know what the fuck we are actually doing in practice.
November 16Nov 16 I'll watch the whole thing with the sound off and sort of pay attention while I type at people in my computer, just like every other sport I watch.

That’s kinda been my ritual. All kidding aside I thank god for surly even if I get on everyone’s nerves. At least we can talk football. My mom is like “strip the ball! QB sneak! Damnit!” And that’s too much even for me. I will watch all the games. I’m just tired of missing College Football Final on purpose lol. I hide out after losses.

November 16Nov 16 I'm rooting against Indiana so that Curt has more free time to talk to CDC and we are more likely to get a new coach sooner. HAHAHA Edited November 16Nov 16 by TotallyLegit kill me

November 16Nov 16 I guess it would be Indiana, Tech, Ole Miss in that order but I doubt I will watch any of it. I’ll be in CR and wont give a shit.
November 16Nov 16 Ole Miss, Indiana, G5/ACC Cinderella as long as it's not Miami, whoever plays OU/A&M Imagine being a college football fan and not watching the Playoff, y'all trying to say you'll watch baseball reruns instead are just being performative.
November 16Nov 16 Whoever is playing A&M, OU (if they make it), and the other qualifying SEC teams. Fuck 'em all. I'm for chaos that results in an expanded FCS-type playoff. January madness
November 16Nov 16 I'd enjoy tech beating the shit out of aggy while the broadcast showed some Mike Leach quotes mocking their military cosplay. Then tech losing by 80 in their next game. As for ou I'd enjoy the entire ou team and campus being picked up by the first ever EF9 tornado with 400 mph winds and getting deposited somewhere, somehow, in the Van Allen belt never to be heard from again.
