CFP seeding

[Aspann85]

What place do we think we need to be in the Tuesday release to show that the committee is positioning to put Texas in at 9-3 with a win over #3 and  a couple upsets?  #13-14?

[Kevin C]

#12 2-loss Utah down by 10 with 3 mins to play against KSU last night, we didn’t need that f’ing comeback to happen.  Ridiculous int by Kansas St w 49 secs left.   Our odds looked a lot better with the Utes out of the pic.
 

Georgia Tech and USC losses help.  Expect we’ll be at #15 this Tuesday.  
 

We need to beat A&M in convincing beat down fashion (36-20) then we need some serious help over next 2 weeks.   Tennessee over Vandy plus either LSU over OU or Auburn over A&M (or both) then we need to jump Utah and BYU based on SOR, SOS, Quality Wins over OU, Vandy, A&M.   Would either of those Big12  teams have beaten Georgia or OSU?   Of course not.   
 

Guranteed to make CFP……..OSU, IU, A&M, Georgia, ND, TTU, Miss, Ore plus ACC Champ and next highest ranked conf champion (that last one is a joke).   That means 10 spots are virtually locked.   If OU and Bama both win next Saturday over LSU and Auburn, hard to see path for Texas.   
 

If OU or Bama get upset (preferably both), we have legit shot at last spot in, especially if Vandy loses to Tenn.  Odds of these dominoes falling right feels less than 10% but it will make for fun next 2 weeks. 
 

Hook em!!  🙏🏼🤘🏼🐂🧡

Utah and BYU losing last night would have been huge for us. Mizzou beating OU would have been helpful.

I agree with Kevin C, we'll likely be ranked 15 in the CFP Rankings on Tuesday night.

Vandy, Alabama, OU, Ole Miss can all lose next week to SEC opponents.

Let's go beat the Aggies 🤘🏽

15

Not happening just try and ruin Aggie and play a meaningless bowl game. Time needs to be spent on coaching changes, recruiting , portal retention and additions and get younger guys playing time for said bowl game.

Didn't get enough help yesterday. And LSU will mail it in  to OU no doubt after watching them last night.

Just shows you don't schedule OSU but another cupcake and how things change .Oh well is what it is.

CPF is a very long shot. Here's how it breaks down -

I agree Texas will be 15. Even though the CFP has 12 teams, Texas needs to be in the top 10 because two lower ranked conference champs will take up two spots. For that to happen, next week 5 of these 7 teams need to lose -

1. OU
2. Notre Dame
3. Alabama
4. BYU
5. Utah
6. Miami
7. Vanderbilt

Then Texas Tech needs to win the Big 12 so that conference only takes one spot.

There are some other weird long shot scenarios that could open up a spot -

• Texas Tech losing next week and in the CC to BYU
• Miami beating Pitt then winning the ACC championship (both Virginia and SMU have to lose for Miami to make it).
• Texas jumps one of the seven higher ranked teams above even if they win
• If Oregon or Ole Miss gets blown out, maybe Texas jumps them, but I doubt it.

So basically root against all seven of the teams above. But really just beat aggie.

I'm hoping Aggy will want it SO BADLY that they lock up and play poorly.

When I was a UT freshman I had an old Maroon Buick that my Grandmother gave me when she got her last new car.

A buddy of mine and I went to the game in Collie Station in my Maroon Buick... with the Texas Longhorns stickers on the back window and bumper.

When we walked back to the car, the front and back driver's side tires were slashed.

Nice. Aggy love those Maroon cars, but not with Longhorns stickers on them! I swore I would never go back to a game there... and I have not returned. That was 1973. 

Hook 'Em!
