Missing the CFP

[No13Seed Jim]

I contend the biggest factor in our record that hurt our CFP rating was the drubbing by Georgia. 1) A 25 point loss was disgraceful 2) any type win against UGA would have made us 10-2. And another Top 10 win.

Wow, I didn’t realize not losing to UGA would have made us 10-2 with another top 10 win! 😂

The annoying thing is that people and the CFP committee don’t take into account the actual way the game was played, just the final score. And they’re not even consistent with it.

For instance, the following combination: 

1. Texas had the ball with the ability to tie both the OSU and Florida games late in the 4th quarter. But we got “dominated”

2. Texas was up on Vandy by 24 pts in the 4th quarter before starting to play prevent with backup DBs and run the clock out. Vandy was down by 10 pts until 33 seconds left. The last they had the ball with the opportunity to tie the game was their first possession, a 4 play 4 yard drive ending in a fumble.

But that’s a “close game” and not “domination”

Another useless thread about the CFP, Huh? Shouldn’t have NEVER lost to florida and this conversation wouldn’t even need to be had.
