I've said it quite a bit over the past year. Yall development has been the best in the country.

I understand the narrative @Eric Brooks is talking about. I just don't think it applies when -

1. Texas beat Alabama on ESPN. Why would ESPN discount the outcome of the most-hyped game on their network this year? Besides Colorado, it was the most-watched game on ESPN.

2. Texas has one foot in the door in the SEC. Hell, fans were chanting "SEC!" at the last game. ESPN/SEC already has promos with Texas in it.

3. This isn't a Bama vs TCU debate. We're talking Texas - the richest program in CFB.

4. SEC koolaid has watered down. This ain't five years ago when the koolaid had slack jaws thinking Miss State would win the Pac 12. It's not as dominant a conference as its peak.

If Texas wins out and doesn't get in, it would be very fukked up. Idk what could be done but yall would protest and last second no-show the bowl game and hopefully more.

Situation reminds me a bit of 08 when yall beat OU for their one loss but they got in the big 12 title game and bcs title game despite you both having 1 loss and you having the head to head

I thought Texas should've gotten the nod then

fukk the narrative. Look at the committee protocols.

CFP Selection Committee Protocol (PDF) - College Football Playoff

CFP Selection Committee Protocol (PDF)

Strength of schedule, head‐to‐head competition and championships won must be specifically applied as tie‐breakers between teams that look similar;

But those teams don't look similar. Bama looks better


Ya fanvase just aint this passionate

Watch Mizzou get bounced out of a NY6 spot. Watch.

They should be forced to play Toledo, who'd have a legit chance to beat mizzou

I still want us to get a couple more 5 stars here and there, you run the risk of a 3 not panning out, with fives it’s a matter of getting them up to speed, but yes it has been great developing going on here

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I think the world wants to see Mich vs OR

Would be a wild ass game

Sorry but I want fsu out of there unless their qb really shows up and they can be a serious contender. Sucks but had this injury happened week 6 instead of week 11 they'd have 3-4 losses.

I agree with that. Just don’t want To lose the edge that can come with that. Balance is key

Thought they would go after Jedd Fisch.. He wants that or UF.. He did a crazy job at Arizona, never would of thought he could do that out there..

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

What matters more? When you lose? Or who you lose to?

Seems in the bcs and carried over to CFP era it's more of when you lose (assuming your loss is from a P5 opponent)

 

[DropTopDoc]

Good

Jed finna bounce, zona got a life preserver with the big12 but them nikkas pockets look like rabbit ears hell they may encourage him to leave just to get the leaving money

Too many 5’s lead to chaos and star chasing, too many 3’s we run the risk of dantoni’n

No lies told.

Yep, i posted it earlier

That's how I'm seeing it unless UW wins.
