I was surprised Indiana beat Ohio State, seems like we'll get bumped to being their 2nd toughest game now. Georgia sweeped the floor with Bama, BYU is terrible, the ACC is dogsh*t and it looks like two G5 teams might be getting in lol.

Yes, it's easy to claim this after a game where they win. My comment was about how they lost against Bama the first time this year. Nice try though.

Because I can?

I understand not everyone will agree with what I have to say, but calling a post "stupid" and suggesting someone shouldn't be allowed to post because of it, isn't a valid argument and doesn't add to the conversation. If you believe my post was off-base or unhelpful, I'd welcome a specific critique. Otherwise, we're all just having fun here—it's sports, so lets try to relax a little.

Definitely not following the logic and linkage between being a season ticket holder and 24 teams. Two rounds of playoffs at home campus locations (17-24 all play at 9-16 in week 1 then winners play at home fields of 1-8 in week 2). You'd rather only have one round of games at college campuses? Not me. I'd prefer first two rounds on campus, setting the stage for quarter finales in major bowls. JMHO.

We just got home from watching our Mavs throttle the Rockets tonight. It was beautiful. The team was actually fun to watch. Lots of length and quickness. Think I'm fired up tonight because the new 'system' just doesn't make any sense. Notre Dame played 3 teams in the Top 25 and lost to 2 of the three teams with an overall SOS ranked 42nd and a lower SOR than Texas (according to ESPN). One of ND's losses was to A&M, whom we just kicked the living s$%& in the second half. Notre Dame has beaten NOBODY except one ranked opponent (USC at 16). Texas has 3 wins against Top 13. Similar story for Miami. Their one big win was Notre Dame (that's another head scratcher). How is ND with two losses and an unimpressive schedule ranked above Miami who they lost to head to head? As much as they stated SOS, SOR, Quality Wins all were going to mean more this year, it's BS. Their ranking system doesn't seem to have changed. It focused first and foremost on record. the undefeated and 1-loss teams are all virtually guaranteed a spot. A 3-loss team has very little chance, regardless of who the losses are to or who that team beat beyond the three losses. Valuable lesson learned this season. Set your team up for success with momentum in September while your'e getting into your rhythm. Take no risks. The revenue from making the playoffs is way too valuable to risk unnecessarily. Then add to all this, that we're adding a 9th game in the SEC next season. Nuts.

As a season ticket holder, 24 teams is terrible. You’ll still have the same issues anyway. You haven’t heard the seeding complaints yet. Why does such and such get the 11 seed or 12 seed to play. Thats a massive benefit.

Preach!

Any thoughts on Matai Tagoa'i for LB depth here? I thought j remembered his name from last recruiting class. @CJ Vogel

You know it might just work this time. Let’s do it!

This is completely asinine that puts JMU and Tulane into "The Best 12 Teams in College Football" Playoff and that system likely keeps Bama in the Top 10 even though they got completely throttled today by Georgia and lost 3 games this season as well. Fewer 'Top 15' wins. Weaker SOS / SOR. Hoping this year has created enough bizarre outcomes that major improvements are made to the format. Increase to 24 teams. Make sure the systems is set up to truly put the best 24 into the playoff. Enough with 'giving guaranteed spots' to G5 schools. If they're in the Top 24, they are in. If not, go create a G5 Playoff System, similar to the NIT in basketball. Texas lost to 2 of the 4 best schools in Football and beat 3 of the Best 13. What the f is the point of playing the marque game at beginning of the year with so much downside to the loss. Margin for error is virtually nada and one of the top 5 schools head to head is going to lose and have an L in week 1 next season again.

Kirby Smart shouted out Texas as one of the best teams deserving a chance on SEC football final. Another advocate for us. Let’s stop this charade with G5 teams and put Texas and Miami in and let’s do this thing right.

If you've been playing poorly lately and you get blown out in the conference championship game and you were one of the last three teams with a chance to get in but only two will go and dropping you will avoid the tricky conundrum of picking just one of Miami v Notre Dame ? Anything is possible, the committee has guidelines of course but sometimes they conflict (like Texas' loss to OSU - can't convince me they discounted that one) and they just seem to be making it up as they go along, then trying to rationalize the decision. Personally I'd take Miami and ND over Bama and then the committee can blame it on Bama's "terrible" loss to FSU but who the hell knows. You can say they lack "good wins" and leave off ND or Miami easily enough. I've got Indiana 1, OSU 2, Georgia 3, Texas Tech 4, then Oregon, Ole Miss, A&M in a 5-7 cluster, Oklahoma at 8, then any two of ND, Bama, Miami (guessing Bama is odd man out but nothing would surprise at this point). The killer for us Texas fans is we beat Oklahoma and A&M by a combined 50-23 yet they're going and we're not. /end of late night rant LOL

With the Arkansas AD heading the committee you had to know that Texas has little to no chance.

He is the clear frontrunner and seems to have his head screwed on right (good attitude).

I think Miami jumps ND. A lot of talking heads today pushing for head to head compare since teams are right next to each other in ranking. I would guess bama stays in, although they don’t deserve based upon their play over the 2nd half of season.

Campbell and Tech are rubbing it in everyone’s faces.

The above reproach official deemed he was pushed out. Even though they did not show much of a push. I request you look back in memory banks to 2021 OU when our defense came out. They converted 3rd down on such a play. Jacoby jones got hurt that drive then a TD. It was bs.

ask FSU about the sustainability of that model.

What's your Texas One contribution?

G5 has no business being in the playoff. I’m sorry, but they are not on same level. Has to change.

I don’t trust the committee to drop them out. Think they keep them in unfortunately.

Disgusting. Texas is the seventh best team of that group and got left out by an inbred hillbilly committee.

Tech took 22 transfers from the portal. That’s instant production.

If Tech outspent us it's not by much. They are smart having a personnel department independent of the coach and they were also smart spending it on proven players instead of hoping for development. Finally it's still TBD how good they actually are (I'm not sure the offense does much against a real defense). Sark blew too much money on Deandre Moore and CJ Baxter types along with a bunch of freshmen that are riding the bench.
