This isn’t emotion—it’s reason. Double digit wins over two current top 10 teams isn't bragging—it's evidence. Losses happened, sure, but context matters. Demanding that the committee be held accountable for ignoring strength of schedule and head-to-head is the opposite of being weak. It’s remarkable to see people sit back and mindlessly repeat the talking points of a committee that commands no respect and has been widely discredited

You’re acting weak and timid. do not lose 3 games(only one of the losses was respectable btw) and this wouldn’t be an issue. how can the likes of you beat your chest about beating ou,vandy, & aggies, but gloss over the outings against Florida, Kentucky and MSU? quit being emotional. We didn’t do enough this year.

“Silly”? Sure—if you think committees deserve a free pass to ignore their own rules. True silliness is sitting back and providing cover for a committee with a long track record of questionable decisions and outright incompetence. This isn’t about overthrowing the system overnight—it’s about calling out inconsistencies and making sure the committee actually follows the rules it claims matter. If strength of schedule and head-to-head results are supposed to be the top factors, fans and media have every right to point out when they’re conveniently ignored. Being aware, speaking up, and insisting on fair evaluation isn’t wishful thinking—it’s holding the process accountable. Over time, that’s exactly how conversations—and decisions—get nudged closer to logic and fairness.

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.
