Who gets the nod?

Ironic that Texas not getting in would be because they scheduled ohio state.


To Kiffins point, early, high profile noncon games offer way more downside than upside

Anyone but tu. But I can't say I'm getting worked up either way.

This is a pointless question. Texas will finish 8-4 at best.

This. I watched the game against Georgia closely...Georgia is going to be tough for anyone to beat.

I'm surprised Bama did tbh.

ETA: Then Bama runs off the cliff & looses to the Land Thieves...everybody is beating everybody.

There would have to be a lot of favored teams losing along with Horns winning out in convincing fashion to have any chance

They will compare losses to whom, SOS, Sankey will push for both, ESPN will push for tu (maybe), etc.

Anything is possible and why we need to finish this season and, more importantly need to beat tu almost than winning the SEC championship game (as I fthink it keeps tu out and guarantees top 4).

If we get outscored by tu and lose the SEC championship game to UGA, a 2-loss streak will come into conversations and potentially push us outside of top 4 as they will say we hadn't played anyone until the last 2 games and ND (perceived sched weakness).

If we lose to tu we will definitely drop out of top 4.

The "head to head" argument is ridiculous. Sips have 3 losses, Vandy has two. If it finishes that way, Vandy should be ahead of texas. Head to head comes in when you have an equal amount of losses.

But....then again......we're talking about texas.......

---

Bigger argument if ND and Miami finish with the same number of losses. Much like with tu, it's the media darling that gets in of course.

Does it get more eyes on TVs? Then that is what will be pushed to the limit of what is remotely rooted in reality.

Vandy had their chance to change the predetermined narrative. Beat Texas at home. They didn't. And that was that.

Let em in. By all means.

And let Indiana or whoever the heck they play….

Never stop scoring.

And Arkansas is due. So many close finishes this year. Surely one time it ends in their favor. tu game sounds like as good a time as any to me.

---

How beautiful will it be if this is the week Arkansas finally puts it all together?

Georgia Tech is answer to OP

If it isn't 9-3 Texas, there is no reason anyone should schedule another hard non conference game.

Why would you think Texas is going 9-3?

Geeze

Vandy though needs Mizzou to beat OU. That might let them get in instead of OU.

There isn't anyway. Not really.

Not if you play in the SEC.

It's not in Freshwater nor ole missus' DNA to schedule a marquis P5 game.

I never said that, just something interesting to watch

good to see you up this morning and feeling good… you had a terrible day yesterday… I mean, you have a history of stupidity….

Top 5 SEC at this moment isn't debatable.
1) A&M
2) UGA
3) Miss
4) OU
5) Bama

The next 2 aren't really debatable:
6) t.u.
7) Vandy
Not because of head to head, but because Texas has a better win.

Next 3:
8) TN
9) Mizzou
10) LSU

Last 6 - who cares.

Texas is out. You can't get beat that bad yesterday. Even all the media with their agendas trying to prop Texas prior to the game making the playoff at 9-3 stated it had to be a competitive game. It was not. It was a blood bath. They are out right now and no longer close. You cannot look that bad and also lose to a Gator team that is going to end up 3-9.

As far as their best win you note. OU? Where it's obvious to everyone that Mateer was brought back to early.

They win two come from behind OT games vs the weakest SEC teams, barely survive a decent team at home, and get waylaid by a good team, yet they are still propped up as one of the 12 best.

RIDICULOUS!

Relax

Wait until Tuesday night to complain if they are still ranked too high.

Not dead, but barely breathing.

Totally agree with you wrt Georgia . I can't recall ever pulling for Bama over Auburn but I will this year.

Interesting stat that seems relevant given they're our opponent in 2 weeks…

Texas has played UGA 3 times in a year

They have 83 total rushing yards

The funny thing is at half Sark said they were rushing the ball well even though they only had minimal yards.
