Can we get Mack Brown to pull him this way?

So head to head matters but only sometimes? Why were we ranked behind Vandy in the last poll even though we beat them and it was WORSE not closer than the score indicated. BYU being ahead of us is just a f-u to Texas for thinking we could possibly bring a valid case to upset this stupid approach. We need to expand now. We have teams opting out of meaningless bowl games because there’s literally zero point to playing them for the older guys. Common opponents ND loses to us too. Miami does deserve to be in but somehow they magically moved up 8 spots with a win over Pitt versus us moving 3 spots and being ranked ahead of them with three losses and a dominant win against the number 3 team in the country. We shouldn’t have lost to Florida?? Fine, then kick bama out and put BYU in because they shouldn’t have lost to FSU. G5 has no business being at the table and effectively created a bye for the 2 teams that play them. Instead we get a Bama OU snooze rematch? Horrible, just pitiful. The irony at this point is that we wanted TAMU and OU to go deep enough in the playoffs and get smoked by osu and UGA so we again have an argument posthumously that they got it wrong and we should’ve been dancing.

Absolutely, if anything they need to go the other way. ND will not be considered for the CFP until they join a conference. In fact, no independent team will be allowed to participate in the CFP.

Agree!! What a pitiful joke that is.

We could have stopped them. Zero logic there. There’s a massive difference between hey we’re in but not playing a home game versus hey, we’re clearly one of the best 12 teams in the country but aren’t even in the playoffs because we have two sacrificial lambs that are going to be in over us and Miami. As a fellow season ticket holder I’d rather the option to purchase playoff tickets for the first 2 rounds than going to a meaningless bowl game.

Preach!

Any thoughts on Matai Tagoa'i for LB depth here? I thought j remembered his name from last recruiting class. @CJ Vogel

You know it might just work this time. Let’s do it!

Kirby Smart shouted out Texas as one of the best teams deserving a chance on SEC football final. Another advocate for us. Let’s stop this charade with G5 teams and put Texas and Miami in and let’s do this thing right.

Hell they haven’t scored a TD against us in over 2 years and 3 out of the last 4!!!

Update -3 rushing yards

Bama 18 yards rushing. I seem to remember a committee leader talking about how Texas couldn’t run the ball against UGA. Whelp we aren’t the only ones. Also, has anyone noticed that ESPN has now taken Texas completely out of the narrative and it’s all about ND AND Miami getting in no mention of us at all and our good wins. Even going so far to say that Alabama had beaten 4 ranked teams in a row and no other team had a better resume than that. I’m saying, umm except for Texas. Cowards.

Lame can get outta here with that mess we’re hanging on to Clark

The football team could learn a thing or two from these badass women!

By the way Texas is also the only team to beat 3 teams ranked in the top 10 of the CFP at one time and still ranked in the top 14. So tell me again about the Florida and OSU losses? We had to play Florida in conference but we didn’t have to go to OSU (a game that actually should have been Michigan at home but was moved graciously by us because Fox wanted that game) to play at all. We could’ve just stayed home and played a nobody, then we’d be in the playoffs and probably playing for the SEC title again.

@Gerry Hamilton off loading some of his gear! You should probably send him some of your Oregon gear lol

BS it’s because we lost to OSU AND had the guts to play them. That’s keeping us out. So we had a bad game against Florida running the ball and turned it over so we’re not a playoff team? Blow U and UGA both had gifts from the refs against Auburn that helped win those games so should we count those? OSU had 130 or so fewer yards than us so they got dominated too right? Such BS then you add in the ACC “champions” and G5 or two G5 over us? Get outta here with that crap.

This is the same person that said they don’t have the NIL package to compete at Arkansas. He’s an a$$ but hey, they’re going to make whatever argument they can to get out of Texas getting in or considered. The FSU loss is worse plus common opponent to Bama we beat on a neutral field handedly and they lost at home. ND doesn’t have a quality win but 2 quality losses so they should be in?!?! Makes no sense. They clearly just don’t want to admit that they want Texas in but they won’t give it to them because they have 3 losses.

I hear what you’re saying but we also get revenue from other SEC teams in the playoff or bowls and that money would not go to us if we decided to go this route. Again, don’t hate the idea, I’d actually prefer to do more like basketball with an expanded playoff to 16 or 20 and an NIT type tournament for the remaining 20 teams outside of the top 16 or 20.

I don’t hate the idea but agree that logistically it doesn’t make a lot of sense and we wouldn’t get tv revenue because no network would air the game. I think we go into the citrus bowl with the narrative that we’re treating this like a scrimmage or NFL preseason game and our primary goal is to get guys playing experience and not to play our starters and risk major injury for a meaningless bowl game. Would love to see what Caldwell and the 3 freshman receivers can do on offense and what our young guns look like on defense.

Different conference so Franklin has an easier path. Would love to see him win a natty before the PSU make the playoff again haha.

I’m guessing Jimmy Sexton doesn’t rep him haha. Failing forward is better than what Florida, Arkansas, and Auburn have done IMO.
