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.

Stacy Searels? Been there, done that, no thanks.

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

Bump this ^^

Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to post.

give georgias oline coach a bag he develops the big boys every year and they can run block

.... nor the weak ....

That’s what good teams do right there

Oh stop.

oline showed 0 grit they were whipped like a scared dog all year by inferior talent

Two things 1. Kirby probably fakes that punt against Texas on 4th and 1 2. What a punt

Glad the oline and team showed their grit and didn't share this kind of mindset during the season

Coaching portal keeps on chugging

If the committee followed their own standards, with BYU out of the picture, it is clear Texas is the best and most deserving resume compared to Miami and ND. Yet we get 0 mention on any discussion.

I’d like to think Georgia wins this game rather easily, but something about Alabama prevents them from playing their standard of ball

Whoa! Dawgs were holding? Refs must have not gotten their checks

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

He went to lsu, smarts isnt what they are know

Playoff committee is a joke.

Booger is a booger. Just annoying. Heather dinich pisses me off with answers on everything. The playoff committee should be disbanded. I hope Ohio st steamrolls through the playoffs.

Crazy what an offseason of going all in on the portal can do.

The sad thing about the big 12 is that without Texas and OU, literally anyone can win in that conference because there's no standouts. Luckily for tech, they have donors rich enough to flex their money and out spend the rest of the other schools. There's literally no blue blood or perennial power in the big 12 left.

Boogar isn't smart. He said he's only watched OhSU once this year, against Texas. How the hell do you sit in the position he does and only watch the #1 team in the nation once in the first week?! He said other dumb stuff as well. These people are pumping TTU like they have money on them. They are a good football team, but if they play a good team in their first playoff game, they will be exposed.
