(Poll) Should 9-3 Texas be in the CFP?

Not unless another 9-3 team you've beaten gets in. Playing a tougher schedule gets you a tie-breaker, not an invitation.

 

Both are Big Rivalries dating back to at least the 70s when Texas Oklahoma was often an elimination game for the National Championship. The Aggies were typically the best Southwest Conference Rival, at least before Houston joined the Conference and chased them both out of the Conference.

Go Coogs!

 

Houston joined in 1976 and immediately won the SWC. Aggie and Longhorn hated that.

 

78-37-5

 

Yes. We all know the count. Thanks though.

Pretty good record against your biggest rival

now do since 1975

 

FL and KY games were too ugly IMO. And they have to put a pee-pee team in for some reason (Tulane? Why.) They definitely look better lately though. And should be a contender next year.

 

Lost to a trash 4-8 Florida. I don’t mind MS St and KY ugly game wins. Everyone has those. But getting owned by Sunbelt Billy is an automatic no go for me. Hell of a season. Beat our SWC rivals while ruining lil bros SECCCG dream.

 

...and I was there. A Cougar Guard member at the time. Yes, we used to have Shasta.

 

UH took the conference 3 out of the first 4 years.

Texas should be happy, they killed our National championship season in 1979. That was our only loss. Many say the refs gave UT the game that day. Wouldn’t surprise me. UH finished #4 and beat Nebraska in the Cotton.
