Y'all seem surprised. Texas will easily get into the CFB playoff with a 9-3 record. At, 10-2, they'll be hosting. It will always be like that, until aTm passes them, for the number 1 program in Texas.

Texas has looked like dog sheet most of the season, but they have beat two top 10 teams this year.

You can qualify that all you want, but that fact remains.

---

Neither of those were real top 10 teams though, as will be told by the end of season rankings.

Also lost to Florida and scored 0 offensive points at OSU

I hate tu as much as the next guy but ESPN is in the business of making money. They don't care about objectivity. tu gets attention whether they're good or bad. Like it or not, they're a national brand.

The way sip played against Vandy in the first half, they very well could beat anyone. Theyre not a team to underestimate but they are mentally weak.

F em. Hate them with 1000 generations of hatred and wish nothing but a mouthful of cow dung

"A&M"

I'm always leary when someone uses "aTm". Very common amongst non Ags.

This x1000000. I think hes a non-ag troll.

Has anyone bothered to look at who the author of this article is or read it? It's the same lady who was roasted by everyone for saying the main reason she has Alabama above A&M because of SOR, when we actually have the better SOR. Ou and Texas aren't in her bracket. Do yall realize that every commentator and author at ESPN has their own take on the playoff picture?

I'm guessing Archorns are will be in the playoffs if they finish 9-3.

But they won't

This will be a pattern forever, until we get an AD who is willing to wage an all-out war on Disney & whichever other media powers see $$$ in waging an all-out war to prop up their high-investment properties.

I personally don't think Trev Alberts knows where to even start with this.

If you ask me, laying the groundwork for accountability & transparency in officiation is a great first step.

Trev, where are you on this?

[crickets chirp in the distance]

Funding sports journalism with some actual journalistic integrity would be another great first step.

Trev, where are you at on that?

[doors & windows closing and locks engaging]

At the end of the season, we might be calling cow texas 8&4

Wait, Texas in with 3 losses?

OT twice to beat worst teams in our league.

This is kinda funny. Lose 1/4 of your games is not playoff worthy.

So never. Even if A&M always had a better football team, media wouldnt allow such a thing.

As I said, qualify however you want.

Can make the argument that notre dame isn't very good (though will be ranked due to ease of schedule), and LSU won't be ranked either.

Taking off the maroon glasses, the facts are what they are. And it's up to folks to interpret them.

It's more imperative than it was before this past weekend for ATM to win out.

They'd likely deepfake the broadcast and change all the colors & logos.

the advantage the blue bloods have is "loss forgiveness"

Alabama's loss to Florida State (4-4) was bad

the sips' loss to Florida (3-5) even worse

but they will probably get a pass for those L's

Clearly no one on this thread actually looked at the field (both t.u. and OU are not included).

I like CBS sports prediction better

1 Ohio St
2. Aggies
3. Indiana
4. Alabama

They do have tu at 10 assuming they split Georgia and A&M

Don't think it is realistic, for us to be 2 and Georgia 5 we both have to beat tu which keeps them out.

Honestly, I don't think ESPN updates all of the inputs from their models.

Recall the graphic at the end of the A&M LSU game that showed out ESPN estimated win chances? Even Kirk and Kevin were laughing that it only have us a 35 (ish or so)% chance. Then tried to shift to Samford rather than trash the hand that feeds them.

I think they look at each one individually which results in impossible scenarios.

You have results where multiple teams have to both win and lose a particular game.

Just wait until y'all see that Utah jumped four spots in the FPI to be over A&M and sips. More teeth-gnashing

Any school that ever won anything would be a national brand with that much promotion behind them. Even in the GameDay opening, every other school gets a mention and screen, but they get three. Full Football Final features on beating nothing schools. Masking when they lose. It's everywhere.

Horns playoff hopes die in Athens

If there's a way to shoeHORN the sips in, they'll be in.

We will be playing them and the SEC refs after t-day.

You missed on me by several miles. No troll, but also, no Ag. But I raised one, c/o 2012. I'm just an old, retired HS coach. But I've been on TexAgs, since 2009ish. Despite the abbreviation, y'all didn't like- what I said about Texas was true.

Tons of people use aTm because it is on the football helmets.

The BOMC is real. This article from ESPN which gives their final CFP prediction has Alabama at 3, the good guys at 4, t.u. At 11 and OU at 12. They are trying hard to get the sips into the playoff and the land thieves are getting the side benefit of it. The traditional media sucks.

They also pointed out that tu is likely out b/c an unranked (top 12) conf champion will take their spot.

tu also has to win out beating GA and A&M (which they don't think will happen).

Texas will play at Georgia on 11/15 after their 2nd bye week. I think Georgia will beat Texas to drop them to 7-3 (4-2 SEC) and eliminate them from the playoffs.

Oklahoma will play at Alabama on 11/15 after their 2nd bye week. I think Alabama will beat Oklahoma to drop them to 7-3 (3-3 SEC) and eliminate them from the playoffs.

Hopefully, we beat Missouri to improve to 9-0 and start 6-0 in SEC play for the first time ever.

This is why we should bring back the hate. The idea that we want tu to win a single game is flawed. I want them to lose every game from now on.

From now on. I've always wanted them to lose every game they play and that will never change.
