Cancel Ohio State Immediately

I know that many will disagree. That’s why this site exists - to dialogue. Texas needs to focus clearly on one thing - The Playoffs. Period. It’s not about being scared. One less loss is all that matters. It’s fun and exciting to open the season with a NAME. We all get that. But, the ROI simply is not there. When our name does not show up in the bracket next Sunday, it will sting bad. This is avoidable with a strategic aim at what is more important. The SEC is a gauntlet enough. 
 

CDC - drop the game. It’s the smarter thing to do. I’ll trade that shiny game for the playoffs. This seems simple. Drop it!

That would be weak and timid which isn’t the Texas way.

Nope, I say fix the playoffs, it starts by respecting our tough schedule and rewarding quality wins AND losses.

Yeah as long as it’s a 12 team bracket (really 9-10 with g5/bad conference champs) these games hurt more than help for SEC teams which is a bummer. Though moving to a 16 team bracket will give enough room for good teams to still get in. There seems to be a huge drop off around 14-15 every year rather than at 12 

 

you’ll recall last year bama/USC/ole miss all were good teams left out that would’ve been in with a 16 team bracket.

Or we could’ve taken care of business when we were supposed to against a 4 win florida team 🤷🏾‍♂️

Going to 9 conference games will automatically give us high SOS which the committee obviously doesn't reward. Going forward there is no point to these games and the goal should make the playoff.

I have no problem playing tOSU if our league schedule is weak.  Slurp would be in the CFP even if they lost to ND - because they didn’t play anyone in the league until they played us.

But if you have three rivalry games, UGA on the road, Vanderbilt, etc., it makes less sense.

We had to have been the last team Florida played at full strength. They’ve been without nearly all their big time players since the Texas game
