I think a lot of people realize the fact that out of the entire projected field, Texas has already beat 3 of the teams. Add on the fact that on a neutral site they are probably favored over another 4 or 5. Anybody not named Georgia or Ohio st.

And my guess with the teams that will get left out this year including Texas will be pushing for it all offseason. The G5 being guaranteed a spot has to be addressed.

100% agree. We shouldn't have lost to Florida. And we also got handled by Georgia very recently. Just not our year to be in.

Now that ole Miss isn’t in the CCG there’s no reason not to.

I think tough non conference opponent game like Ohio St should be on a year to year basis until we get to 16 CFP teams. So I would absolutely cancel or reschedule the Ohio State game to another year when we think the CFP will be at 16 teams. Just my opinion

Tough win against non conference Alabama got us in a couple years ago.

That would make sense, especially if the Big 2 have four or more spots each.

Posted in another thread but we’re giving ourselves little room for error with sec moving to 9 conference games. But it will be the typical Texas fan expectation of being happy to make the playoffs when we do but not demanding it

That’s a lovely saying but reality is we’re being stupid by continuing to play them. Is Indiana being penalized for playing a weak schedule? ND? Or even Aggie? We are moving to 9 conference games and our future conference schedules aren’t easier than what we have had this year. You’re leaving no room for error in a 12 game schedule and potentially 4 marquee games come post season. I’d rather play an Ohio state, Michigan, ND, or whomever in a playoff where it matters. Not at the beginning of the season in a glorified exhibition.

Think they will go away ... in terms of top 2 in a conference. May be replaced with essentially play in games, so still make the CCG TV contract money

People will always be able to point at something as a negative. If December weather becomes the next talking point, be good enough to host is what I would say. But going to 16 playoff teams will keep the meaningful games on the schedule.

Hard to see a 16 team format with these CCGs in place. Will the conferences give these up? Outside of the SEC I don’t think they’re big moneymakers.

"The PRIDE AND WINNING TRADITION of The University of Texas will not be entrusted to the weak or the timid!" You believe in this or you don't. To cancel a game ten months out would be weak and timid.

The only reason we’re still being considered going into this weekend is because we played that game in Columbus. And, all SEC and Big 10 will be required to play a 10th game against a P4 out of conference team when we move to a 16 team playoff. Moreover, the out of conference games are great for college football. Ohio State and Michigan coming in is A LOT better than playing St. Mary’s Church of the Poor in September. And, had we not got our asses kicked in Athens and Gainesville or had the OT games at Mississippi State or Kentucky, things would be different. Those were the killers. We played like absolute crap in all 4 SEC road games.

I wish I was a mod so I could delete the same thread that keeps being made cancel so and so how about we quit crying we lost 3 games and a bad loss to Florida it is what it is at this point. How many more threads are going to be made like this it’s like 5 already?

Do you think 16 kills the AQ bids?

It still will because of hosting round 1 games. Would you rather host round one or travel up north and play in potential snow?

Add on top of it that more playoff teams means more games played against playoff competition to reach the championship. There is absolutely no reason to schedule tough non con games moving forward. It will only hurt your case.

Lane to LSU this morning? Sumrall to Florida?

What’s the point of them though? Even in a 16 team playoff they’re not an advantage and we’d still be better off putting our 2 losses within the conference slate. Why you may ask, well because hosting a home playoff game. I’d rather host than have to travel up north for a playoff game

Good grief… where did I say or even imply that we would cancel OU and/or Aggy? Those are Conference games. South Carolina vs. Clemson and Georgia Tech are out of conference games. IF we had a 16 team playoff, Texas would be in. Thus, it would be stupid to cancel big OOC games.

When the playoff goes to 16 teams ... none of the non-con talk will be a subject or matter any longer. Just need to get to 16 teams sooner, rather than later.

He wasn’t wrong about that. LOL

@Gerry Hamilton so I’m sure you’ll do a write up on this, but can we get a sneak preview as to what happened with the Malaki Lee visit?

LSU got Louisiana kids before Wilson and they will get them after. The obsession some of those fans have with him is funny. Corey Raymond too but at least he used to be able to develop at one point.
