"That's fine. If you're going to be the best, then sooner or later you'll have to beat the best. That starts Saturday against the best road team in the playoffs."

If A&M wins the National Champioship they will be the Undisputed Champions. If the bracket holds and the Aggies beat Miami, Ohio State, Georgia and Indiana then everybody would have to kiss the ring! I mean that would be the greatest championship playoff run a team could have! And I would not want the easy path. Go this route and it shuts up everybody!

This. The lose early mentality has to get fixed. If we want to look at how playoffs are run, look towards professionals. They don't care when you lose.

Fine.

Nobody will be able to say that a team that beats Miami, Ohio State & UGA doesn't deserve a shot at the title.
If we lose game 1, then we lost to another team that folks weren't sure should be here, so we will have earned the offseason criticism.

Yeah, this really isn't fair. I didn't expect the path to a natty to look like this.

It shouldn't be THIS hard to win a natty. Can't we catch a break???

while A&M would be the champions either way if A&M got the easier bracket the hating media and sips everywhere would still say "easy bracket." It would not bother me or any Aggie but you know it would happen. But besides that as a competitor let's beat the best.

I don't think it's awful. What do you expect in a 12 team playoff with 10 teams that are capable of winning it all? We are a favorite in a home game against Miami. We then get to play in Dallas at a stadium and bowl game that we are used to. Not horrible.

pretty much everyone on texags was saying losing to texas doesnt matter, its not important, rivalries dont really exist anymore because of the playoff.

Cant have your cake and eat it too. Losing to texas was a terrible loss and now we have to pay for it. Losing late is bad enough, losing late in your marquee game that everyone watches is catastrophic.

"Best road team in the playoffs" = best team in the playoffs that is on the road?


Also - just saying - Ole Miss played a non-conference game against a playoff team and we did not…..

Not sure this is the best analogy as the NFL doesn't care who you lose to either.

We have to play Miami and if we win play Ohio st

That's already tough

Next game would either be Georgia or ole Miss: tough either way

Finals would be Indiana, tech or Oregon

Tough no matter what

There is no easy path for us no matter what happens

A natty is a natty

Any rivals dissing it because of "easier path" are just going doing so out of pure hatred and jealousy

Any media dissing it would be doing it for the same reasons or more likely simply for clicks

When you've got the hardware who gaf what anyone else says

I wouldn't mind an easy path if I'm being honest.

Bama has losses to what, 2 top 6? teams And wins over a bunch of ranked opponents. They are also ranked below us, so I don't get the comparison.

And they have a two touchdown loss to a team that isn't bowl eligible.

Better then the current state. At this point, they need to drop the ranking system. Play more conference games, scrub the conference championships. Remove the cupcake games. NCAA is fkn braindead.

March Madness has it right, baseball/softball post season has it right. Football is a disaster.

Portal has also created a mess in all sports as teams can now get gutted.

The NCAA doesn't have anything to do with it. The CFP is completely independent.

Doesn't matter. We got here by beating only the bottom feeders in the sec, so any accomplishment is invalid.

Easier path up front would be great and all, but if we can actually beat the best along the way then you would take nothing back.

We basically have to win the natty 3-4 times to win the actual natty. Would be legendary stuff.

But I have to agree, I just want a natty regardless of how it comes.

That two side is much easier

Indiana just needs to beat bama/ou then Oregon/tech then the team from our side

The 1 seed side is way easier

The national champ
Is going to come from the 2 seed side of the bracket

The meat grinder that is the SEC should make Miami and OSU pretty easy. Then Georgia, beatable. Then winner of OU/Bama will be coming out of the other side of the bracket.

Indiana has by far the easiest. Their win against OSU was massive for them.

Have to win 2 games against some combo of Bama/OU/Oregon/Tech to make the national championship. No game at this level is "easy" but they have got to love the draw they got compared to any other option.

Every playoff team is good. The team that wins it all will have 3 or 4 playoff wins. There's no ducking the toughest opponents if you make it all the way.

I'm guessing your major was English, or perhaps you're the designated "fat fingered" hall monitor


The ONLY valid ANNUAL goal for ALL Aggie Sports is a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
