Are the tides turning for Texas?

[liveattheoasis]

Texas did just beat previously undefeated and SEC leader Texas A&M in front of a national audience.

If you get past the “hope for chaos” Saturday, that’s the best case for a jump you could have.

Vandy is ridiculous. Why even play these games?

You mentioned Sark's politicking.

You brought no evidence about how the committee is feeling about either of these things. 

Pay attention

They wouldn't, which is why it would be stupid to say that either of those things "breathed life" into Texas' playoff chances with the committee.

And you know this, how?

[Jordan91]

I would love for that committee to give interviews and tell us why think Vanderbilt and OU are better than Texas? They won’t be able to, they will pivot and pivot.

Vandy is doable bc of the head to head imo. That's an easy storyline to sell.

Miami is trickier.

The timing of Alabama's changing their non-conference schedule is very good for our chances...I am not getting my hopes up, but I do think this will positively impact our position.

I agree cause it shows an example where a top ten program chose the easier route to avoid the complex situation we found ourselves in. 
 

interesting to see how this plays out for sure

Even the Governor is piling on. Love it.

The A&M win is the biggest win in all of college football this season.  With this golden ticket in hand, the CFP could put us wherever they choose and have the A&M win as justification should there be any backlash.

I get it. Even losing a stupid game, we’d be safely in the CFP if we’d played Rice or Colorado State.

That should be self evident. 
 

OOC scheduling changes are happening already.  
 

Sark threatened to drop OSU NEXT year.  

 

If you think the committee isn’t hearing it already from ESPN, I’m not sure what to say.

Come on overreaction!!! Let’s just get rid of BYU and Utah and the G5 and ACC “champ” autobid crap and we’re in. Miami might chirp but they don’t really have a deep fan base like Texas nationally that would travel or make as much noise. Vandy knows they’re at risk because they lost to us. Honestly I’d rather see Miami get in over ND and keep them out and us in. ND losing to ATM and us beating them plus SOS and playing in a difficult conference should negate the ND argument. I know it won’t, but it should.

Yeah, those Head to Head results do not matter to this group of professional pundits and biased amateurs.  They are focused on killing marquee matchups and thus diminishing the interest in CFB OOC scheduling and the revenue it generates.

What is even more sad is even many on this forum are taking the knee and endorsing the Committees incompetence!  Schedule push overs to keep the loss number minimized!!

Where is the Committee's accountability being demanded, CJ??

Now the weak and the timid must be followed!!  See any problems here??

Yes they broadcasters are the ones who need to intervene and demand that the Committee fulfill it to duties responsibly. They have millions to lose by allowing the incompetence of the Committee  to advocate for mediocre less competitive OOC schedules.

The broadcast rights holders can correct the Committee's incompetence with a few well placed words of advice.

I actually think it is the chaos you can control versus the chaos you can not control.  Committee can control this years teams but not universities cancelling their impactful non conference games in the future.  They do this and unlikely to have great games in September.

Now tell us about OU and aTm being ranked ahead of Texas, please!  How is that done?

There should be public accountability.  Make it happen with an open press conference!

you don't want Texas to make the CFP so you can save your hair.  I get it

[NothinButDaHorns34]

Y’all still day dreaming a possible way into the playoffs, Huh? Cope with we are not going to make it and it won’t hurt as much when we don’t next week.

Great question for the committee. 

My answer to you would be they won all of the games they were supposed to win. Texas did not.

[bourbasted]

With Kiffin leaving, does that not fall into the CFP Committee's 'other factors' for Ole Miss?

I dont recall that being primary criteria for the committee.

There are teams ahead of Texas (Alabama) where that is not the case.

Head to head and strength of schedule are the primary criteria by which they are supposed to grade.
