People are saying SMU in the 3-seed Oregon path

6 vs ACC or 7 vs SEC or ND
We could easily be 8th seed or lower…folks about to be shocked as they will not worry about putting 2 loss team over a 1 loss team if they pass the proverbial subjective eye test. If tu can get in w 3 losses as Sark and many are now pushing, we can fall in the rankings.

We are not falling behind any 2 loss teams
Solid chance we fall behind OM, imho. Hoping for top 8, which is held by OU atm.
Both OU and TAMU have losses to tu, ours less embarrassing and on the road, not neutral. OU's additional loss should keep us north of the 9th seed.

No, we can't be lower, don't be so dramatic over 1 loss. More likely to be 5 or 6, possibly 7 if Bama won the SEC CG that would notch us down, but no 10-2 teams will jump us. The committee doesn't just look at one game, the last game.
It would help if Oregon lost so they are 10-2, but we will be 5-8 1000000% and odds of 8 are low.

To put us at 8 you basically have to put OU or ND ahead of us (or Bama, who you now have to jump over OU, who they just lost to)
So which of OU or ND do you move above us?
The one that tu blew out on a neutral field (OU)
The one that we beat on their home turf (and STILL have less losses than)

As Looch was alluding, the media was already setting the narrative for us to fall pretty far with a loss by calling out our schedule.

To put us at 8 or lower means tu is not good. Giving us a higher seed gives them credit and a path to get in.

I hate when the narrative aligns with indisputable reality
Complete BS. Ohio State and Indiana have played 7 of the bottom 9 in the big ten. Today is literally Ohio states second game against a ranked team.
It's funny how they refer to all other teams schedule based on their opponents rank at the time they played, yet for us they refer to the current rank. Double standard to justify their narrative.
Only way we could fall to #8 seed is if Alabama wins today and in Atlanta next week. OU and ND are obviously not jumping us.JDCAG (NOT Colin) said:90ags said:

I mean, our schedule is indisputably weak and we lost to a pretty lousy team, right? What has Ohio states schedule got to do with it?
We actually had a stronger schedule than both Ohio state and Indiana going into the final week, yet the national narrative was a non stop bashing of A&M's schedule and not one word about the teams above having even weaker schedules. There is absolutely an anti-A&M narrative in the national media and they will absolutely knock us WAY down the rankings on the back of that narrative.
North Texas then Tech.

Ohio State's schedule is like #50.
Indiana's is like #36.
A&M's is like #18.
Indiana's is like #36.
A&M's is like #18.
I can see us at 7 as the most likely with a game against #10 at Kyle field - could be Bama.

Because the "rankings" BY DEFINITION are a jusgement based on comparisons.
If they want to try and talk tu into the playoff they are going to have to talk us up and say how it was such a quality win against a quality opponent, which it was. We are a good team. Our loss was in a rivalry game to a top 15 opponent on the road. We will be the 5 or 6 seed in my opinion.
Putting us against an SEC team is garbage unless it is impossible not. I remember when MLB expanded playoff but made sure under normal circumstances NY wouldnt play Boston in first round.
You weaken the system when schools from SEC forced to knock each other out. They already play in toughest conference. If they get in, you generally need to make other conferences knock them out.

Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

I'd be careful making a bold statement on this
It's not as far fetched as many on here want to belive.

One of those teams beat the team we just lost to, the other hasn't lost. I don't understand why those are brought up at all? Those schools having bad schedules doesn't make a&m's better. Obviously you can't rank a&m above Ohio state or indiana...we lost to a 3 loss team that got taken to overtime by Kentucky. Yall are using yesterday's talking points- they're moot
You really don't understand that the National narrative has been being laid down for weeks to justify pushing us out of the top 10 for a single loss? What do you think would've happened to Ohio St if they lost to Michigan today? They're still top 4, all because of the narrative to completely ignore how easy their schedule has been.

No one should be shocked if we fall to 9 and don't even host a game.
When you have 16 and 18 team conferences, sometimes you have to have match-ups with same conference teams early in the playoffs. It is what it is with the crap that has become college football.

I completely agree with you, but they will somehow call it a great win for Texas while simultaneously using to say we aren't that good.
I think we get a home game against OU, Bama, ND or Miami, as either the 7 or 8 seed.

Peter Burn said yesterday morning that t.u. had no bad losses.
So is Florida good for t.u. But bad for us. Got it.

So now you believe people will say we shouldn't be top 10?
You guys are out of your minds.

Again, tell me who jumps us.
