It will be Texas
They are already setting it up. I heard some talking heads discuss that if they split the UGA/TAMU games then that means they beat one of them on the road and since that’s such a “good win”, that could slide them in as a 3 loss team.

Just saw they moved Texas up 3 spots to 10. Texas was on a bye and jumped Oklahoma . It just so happens that they play UGA on Saturday. That way if UGA loses, it’s again to a top 10 team, and if Texas loses it’s to a top 5 team (2nd time this year). This is how they do it. Guaranteed UGA if they lose they stay in the top 10 and if Texas loses they drop to about 13 or 14 with a chance to climb back into it. There’s gonna be a 3 loss SEC team in it this year and it’ll be one of those two.

Tennessee beats them to end the year. Puts them at 9-3, no way they get in. Don't believe 9-3 Texas or OU have a shot either, once they lose next weekend.

I don’t agree with this statement at all. I think a third loss should eliminate a team but I can hear espn building up a UT victory over a top 12 Vanderbilt to justify why one of the two SEC UTs deserve to be in. I hope I’m wrong but they don’t care about actual results.
 
They are a joke--so is Missouri. We are obviously a top-15 team--we should be better, but it is what it is. Vandy is nowhere near top-15. Even Pavia isn't very good.

You aren't impressed with Texas?!

Non conference:
#1 OSU (L)
2-7 UTEP from the G5 (W)
3-6 San Jose State from the G5 (W)
1-8 Sam Houston State from the G5 (W)

Texas dropped out of the polls entirely after losing to 3-6 UF.

They got back in at #22 a week later with a 4-2 record after beating Oklahoma.

Since then they've moved up 11 spots for beating:
4-5 Kentucky 16-13 in OT
5-5 Mississippi State in OT
8-2 Vanderbilt, which I posted about above

Is that not the resume of the #11 team in the country???

I mean, no not really. They got trounced by Florida 6.5 days after we stomped them. Florida had 30 yards of total offense against us in the first half. Texas gave up 263 yards of offense to Florida in the FIRST HALF during their Swamp debacle. That’s twice as many as we did the entire game.

Oklahoma is another phony 2 loss team with practically no quality wins. Nobody they beat currently sits in the Top 25. I’m still curious how Texas jumped 10 spots for beating Vandy, a team they were favored to beat and didn’t even cover the spread. Oh and Texas got spanked by Ohio State. Don’t let the garbage time points/yards fool you.

The CFP and media desperately want Texas and little Arch in the CFP.

You’re correct that Texas’ entire CFP chances hang on “good losses.”

But Texas did not in fact get “spanked” by OSU. You’re claiming the box score is a lie, and counting garbage time as being down 2 scores with 5 minutes left? That’s your argument? I mean they got inside OSU’s 10 twice and got 0 points. They had a post game win expectancy of 64%.

I don't understand why they are ahead of us right now. If there is a scenario in which:
-we both win out
-neither of us play in conference CG
-ND & USF are playoff teams
And Vandy gets the the last at large bid and we are left out it would be the crime of the century.

Several of us said this at the conclusion of last year's bracket.

There is zsro mystery how any of this has played out to date.

Keeping Miami, or any outside looking in ACC team, in the running at this point would be counter to all the messaging from the last 9 months or so. They actually set the conditions for this when FSU was excluded.

While I can’t remember the exact numbers, but little Arch had about 60-70 passing yards at the start of the 4th quarter. In a game where your offense is producing nothing and is arguably a liability, a 14-0 deficit is pretty daunting. Watching the game, I never got a feeling Texas was going to tie it at 14. I don’t think Ohio State did either.

We are complaining about the attention Vandy is getting?

The Vanderbilt Commodores?

Did they give us two losses to inferior teams?

Or we still ****ed about Brian Kimbrow?

Absolutely. Because if push comes to shove and we both finish 10-2, they get a CFP spot despite having the resume of a High School drop out who routinely smokes ketamine.
 
ON NO PLANET IS TEXAS’ RESUME BETTER THAN MIAMI’S.

If they want Miami 16 - Texas should be 17. Check the common opponent.

and Texas’ best win came against a team with an injured QB. Hopefully UGA smashes them this wknd.

Love to hear an explanation on this.

Absolutely! But there’s something about seeing Vanderbilt ranked ahead of a dozen more deserving teams that just hits different than your typical overrated $EC Good Ole Boy program like Mississippi or Tennessee. It’s like they put Vanderbilt ahead of everyone just to taunt us. It’s working.

So neither you or OSU were worried about Texas when they were down 7-0 but had first and goal at the 9? Or worried when they had first and goal again from the 9 when they were down 14-0? Or when they had the ball at the 50 down 14-7 and all the momentum?

You’re misremembering the entire 2nd half. Texas absolutely dominated it, outside of an Arch Int that led to an OSU TD.

Because SEC and Playoff Committee said so and our Canes gave them every excuse for top cover.

Arch Manning’s first pass of the game where he was completely uncontested, but threw the ball in the dirt was all I really needed to see against the so called “Heisman front runner”. I never for a second thought he’d be good. The fact he didn’t start over Ewers last year in his 2nd collegiate season was a red flag everyone ignored. This isn’t 1995 where good QB recruits sit behind seniors. The best ones play ASAP because every coach at every top program has a knife to their throat with the University saying “win now or else”. There’s 0 loyalty, but a lot of buyouts and failed coaches making absurd amounts of money.

I can’t seem to get over how these assclowns continue to be pampered and overhyped by the CFP and E$ECPN talking dopes despite having two losses and beating absolutely no one in the realm of respectability. We all know there’s an SEC bias but this is bias on steroids. These bums got plowed by Alabama and Texas (don’t let the final score fool you) and are likely going to sneak into an at-large CFP spot with only 3-4 weeks to go. Why? Because last night they barely beat a coach-less 4-5 Auburn team in OT and will move up a bunch of spots because of it.

If we beat NC State next week in OT, does anyone think we’d be jumping any teams? If anything they might move us back a spot or two. One of our esteemed E$ECPN commentators Louis Riddick said last night how we need to beat everyone on our remaining schedule by 30+ points in order to be considered for an at-large playoff bid. His SEC vibrating butt plug was giving him a special tickle as he constantly criticized us and our 2 “terrible no good very bad losses”. **** him and all these other E$ECPN douche bags.

Now back to Vanderbilt. The most frustrating part might be the fact that these E$ECPN simping simpletons have the audacity to claim there’s no $EC bias of any kind. We can point to a number of overhyped $EC Good Ole Boy programs currently occupying Top 10-15 rankings who are over ranked like Texas, Oklahoma, even Ole Miss and Alabama but Vanderbilt is historic $EC simping amongst the likes we’ve never seen. No one they’ve beaten is currently ranked. They have 2 losses, one of those being a blowout loss to another 2 loss Texas, yet somehow, someway, week in week out, they occupy a Top 10-15 spot in the rankings. I really want to hear an explanation from the E$ECPN simping simpletons. What’s their argument? Why do they sit ahead of several 1-2 loss teams with far better resumes and yes that includes Miami who has 2 wins over 2 currently ranked teams (USF will be back in the Top 25). Because they lost 2 games to Alabama and Texas? Since when do we rank teams based on how good their losses are? Have they actually watched Vanderbilt play? I have and they routinely and physically get pushed around by weaker competition. Nothing about them screams playoff team other than the $EC patch they wear on their uniforms.

It's because they are fun to watch and the Qb has a hot mom and sister.
