We are not falling behind any 2 loss teams


I'd be careful making a bold statement on this

It's not as far fetched as many on here want to belive.


People keep saying this in a generic sense - tell me which 2 loss teams they move ahead of us.

Ohio State's schedule is like #50.
Indiana's is like #36.
A&M's is like #18.


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, I don't understand that. I think alot of people saw us **** the bed against a team that Ohio state beat.


The computer program the committee is rubber stamping to rank the teams rates us poorly.

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.


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


I hate when the narrative aligns with indisputable reality


Same buddy. Same.

I don't see it. Not a 1 loss team in the SEC - easier SEC schedule or not. And the win at ND. We stay in the top 8 - probably 7.

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.
they will separate our name from our ranking. Texas beat the #3 team. Texas A&M played a weak schedule. People will be too dumb to correlate the two.

Should be Miami. Already played ND and they should (even though they wont) do everything they can to not put SEC v SEC first round
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

I don't think that bringing up that OSU and Indiana schedule strength vs ours is trying to make the argument that we are better than either of those 2 teams, it's only saying if you are going to say we may not be that good because our SEC schedule was all lower half of the conference, then you also have to question how good OSU and Indiana are since their schedule was weaker than ours.

If Washington does a solid and can beat Oregon, that would pretty much secure a top 6 seed ensuring we dont face an at-large in round 1

if we are 3 and all other teams win, ttu (won big), ol miss (won), oregon (TBD) and UGA (who won) will all easily go past A&M, That puts us at 7 at best.

Too much subjective hyperbole on how 'good' many 2 loss teams have looked including ND and OU (a big push regarding who OU has beat this year...was it 3 top 10 teams).

Not saying it will happen, but will not be shocked if we get pushed down farther than most expect as the committee and a lot of media has not been sold on A&M (esp after the USCe 1st half debacler, only playing lower tier SEC which wasn't our doing, letting Aub keep it close, our defense is suspect vs the run...has been even against crap teams). Just buyer beware.

Kind of looks like the refs have gotten the memo
They seem to be keeping LSU in this game
