Hunter Yurachek flat out lied about Texas

This is why someone with a dumpster fire of a program shouldn't be leading this. -
College football’s playoff selection evaluations must account for the fact that—unlike the NFL—teams do not play comparable schedules. Strength of schedule and head-to-head results matter more in college football precisely because the sport’s structure creates unavoidable imbalance. The selection committee itself lists those two metrics as its top criteria, yet its current decisions suggest it is not applying them consistently. That inconsistency becomes clear when you look at the data. We are not suggesting that an 8–4 or 7–5 Texas team deserves a playoff spot—at a certain point, the number of losses rightly carries significant weight. However, Texas currently has only one more loss than some 10–2 teams that have faced significantly weaker schedules, suffered losses as poor as Florida’s, or have accumulated very few quality wins. The résumé comparison here clearly favors Texas when context is properly considered. Notre Dame and Miami have just two combined wins over teams currently ranked in the CFP Top 25. Texas alone has three. And when it comes to total current ranked opponents played, Notre Dame and Miami have faced only four combined—whereas Texas has faced five on its own. The schedules are not comparable, and the results against quality opponents are not either. These facts matter. They should be driving the conversation, and they should be forcing the committee to justify its departures from its stated standards. Don’t echo narratives that ignore the a overall body of work. Give this team credit for the overall resume and the grit they showed this season. The committee needs to be accountable to its own criteria—and made to course-correct and take seriously the responsibility that's been entrusted to them.

That defense looks good against non-athletic big 12 teams. Wait until they start to play teams with athletes. Their back 7 is not very athletic. Their mustache lb crew will get exposed in space. They have good front line DL … I will give you that. Their offense will get shut down against good defenses

And a schedule where you don’t play anyone good that’s ranked helps - Today
