I agree with you, but what the committee said in the off-season and what theyre doing now are different things. They're showing you what they value now.

Apples and oranges. The top 4 slots last year were strictly reserved for league champions. So we were “dropped” to make room for the mid major champions.

If you think about it, that can’t always be true. It only works if your resume as an at large team stands on its own. If it didn’t matter than no one would switch positions. It does matter - they just want to artificially control how big or little it matters. If Miami was correctly put in ahead of ND and played in the ACC championship and lost, they would have been knocked out of the CFP. Every game has to matter (I mean it should).

Agree.

One more thing against the argument that "the conference Championship game was not supposed to affect the two teams playing" theory - In 2024 Texas was ranked # 2 going into the SEC Conference Championship game, played well against Georgia but lost in OT. Texas dropped to # 5 in the rankings. Why should Alabama not be dropped 2-3 ranking spots after getting blown out in the 2025 CCG while rushing for -3 yards when Texas was dinged 3 spots for losing in OT?

Who is an idiot. That man made failing upwards his career goal.

We could be in this same spot next year with Ohio St at home and road games at Tenn, A$M, and LSU and with OU at Dallas. Not to mention a playoff team in Ole Miss at home. We also play Florida at home and I predict they will be much better next year with a new staff and a veteran team and easier schedule.

Don't forget who is in charge of the committee, the Arkansas AD. Good luck with that.

Go home and be the backup at UNT.

I have to disagree texas loss to Florida and Georgia , the committee came out and said they weren’t gonna count the games like Ohio state against teams but yet here we are . Yeah the Florida loss was bad but go look at the bama loss it’s worse than that . So if they get in over texas that is bullshit

Baxter lost all his juice. Poor kid. Good dude.

Austin Regional if I recall correctly Texas vs Indiana Stanford vs Wisconsin

I really don’t understand, miami played in the worst conference, played against NEITHER of the teams in their conference championship, lost to SMU, lost to Louisville, but I’m supposed to believe that they’re so great and playoff worthy. They beat ND by 3 week 1, why is that such a great win and put them in the conversation? ND lost to both good teams they played, one of which we dominated and beat by 10 and kneeled the clock out, maybe sark next time should go put up 6 more points.

Bishop needs to put on some armor for college ball but he is a Worthy esque speed demon … with better hands hopefully. Jackson needs to have his receiver group show out next year… eliminate the drops.

Glad this new playoff system has been so successful in eliminating the drama of previous years.

Alright get this dude the Texas playbook and let’s go!

The fact of the matter is Texas has a plenty good resume but not in the areas the committee values. Will have to adjust accordingly after Ohio St and Michigan home games.

I know the chances are slim but why not texas ! Why should bama still get it ? Over us ?

I could see him having a role in the RB room but counting on him to be in the top two would be a mistake. Seems like a great guy and hope he can fully get right but hope isn’t a strategy as they say. Not sure how having him be lower on the depth chart will work out with NIL. Also don’t know what his value would be in the portal market. Tough spot for him

Do you have some info you wish to share? I haven’t heard anything conclusive. He will look a lot different in the fall if he can stay healthy. He might have to take a pay cut but may want to graduate from here.

I’ll admit I think underrated him as a player. I don’t know when we have recruited a kid like him with his speed and versatility. I can’t see him not playing early.

He clearly wasn’t fully healed this year. What he will be next year is all about if he can recover some of the explosiveness he once had.

I think you would want a more experienced depth guy. Your starters will be Lefeau and Smith. Your backups will already be young (but talented) in Barnes, Atkinson, Okpola. If you add a true older depth guy I’d be extremely happy. Now if a true game wrecker comes available, you get him and worry about hurting other feelings later

He is Jonathan Gray part 2 unfortunately. Although he didn't have the knee injury he is just never healthy and can't seem to get going. I'm not sure I've ever seen a football player who gets dinged up so easily.

Watched the game on youtube. Bishop did a little showboating on them which I loved. We need someone with his intensity. Kohen Brown also looked good against Duncanville in a loss.
