10 this week. A win in Athens would jump Texas to 5-7.

I agree with keeping the top 3 the same. Also agree with moving Texas Tech above Ole Miss.

Texas sitting in the bracket as things stand currently, obviously plenty to change. But the Longhorns can make a massive statement for their resume with a win this weekend.

I thought there was a way they get zero teams. 

[4thandFive]

After seeing the rankings….I want Texas to stay 6, 7, or 10. 
 

Please give us Ole Miss and Indiana.

Kiffin and Sark would be a blast to watch.

The five highest ranked conference champs are guaranteed a spot. No single conference is guaranteed a spot.

Maybe I’m totally off, but this feels like if we beat Georgia this weekend, we may be in at 9-3.

I agree. I think a win against uga would vault us high enough to where we could survive a close lose to A&M provided they are undefeated.

Texas would have the best 9–3 resume of anyone. 

However, you would need certain dominoes to fall to ensure there is enough room for a 3-loss team. No bid stealers can take place, no two big 12 or two ACC spots. 

OU and Vandy would need to fall again as well.

[SB21]

I know it will obviously change between now and playoff time but if the bracket held up as is…… imagining a Texas vs Aggies semifinal for a spot in the national championship would be insanely crazy from a rivalry standpoint. 
 

maybe it’s the Texan in me but seeing us, Ags, Tech all doing well is cool to see for the state representation side. Not something I honestly expected to see shake out this year

I’m just thinking, if it stayed like that-

Ole Miss 

Indiana

Texas Tech OR Texas A&M

 

Yes. Please.

Cody Campbell should be an honorary Heisman finalist for being techs biggest payer.. I meant player

 We lose a close to Georgia and win out and I think 9-3 gets us in too.

That’s not correct.  The 5 highest ranked conference champions get the guaranteed spots.  And this year, there is a plausible path for the ACC Champion to be left out.

USF (#24) wins the American Athletic while James Madison (AP #24) wins Sunbelt.  Both teams have a pretty clear path to moving up in the rankings if they keep winning.

By contrast, the ACC leader is #16 Ga Tech who will likely lose to UGA and not even make the ACC Championship game.  The next two highest ranked ACC teams are Louisville (20) and UVA (19), both of whom may lose another game before the season ends.

If JMU and USF win their conferences and end up ranked ahead of the ACC champion, then the ACC is left out.  It may a remote possibility today, but it’ll be more plausible by Dec 7th.

There’s an even more remote possibility in which the ACC champ gets left out but they throw a bone to Miami and put them in as an at-large. So ACC would still be represented but not with their champ.

It would be hilarious if 4-loss Duke won the ACC and South Florida and JMU win out.
