Everything could maybe, possibly, in some kind of thought experiment, be okay if, and only if, Sark would not wear that sissy all white outfit on the sideline.
Had we played a cupcake in week 1, Texas is in the playoff even with the Florida loss. When Texas gets left out, every big team should cancel their future big non conference games. It makes no sense to risk a loss.
I thought that already, I don't think they get in, and I think they made a mistake scheduling OSU in week 1. They should go through their schedule and fix it going forward, no more BIG games, with the playoffs the goal, can't risk it. DD
They’ll call us crybabies for canceling but it is absolutely the correct move and most schools should really follow suit. These games simply aren't worth the risk.
I'm assuming they'll keep the Ohio State (home), Michigan (home) and Notre Dame (road/home) games over the next 4 years. And I hope it makes you wimps all upset.
Well, I know you’re a young guy, but they didn’t play for 15 years because the Aggies left. Were you calling them little brother before that? Like when they beat you 10 of 11 in the 80’s/90’s? Texas fans hate it but your biggest rival is in the state of Texas.
Didn’t get enough breaks this weekend, but I hope we keep scheduling big OOC games in the future. And if the playoff goes to 16 teams in the future, losing those games hurts less. I just hate losing to Florida, though. Especially coming off a bye, you can’t come out flat like that
The CFP is an additional 10 games of good teams playing good teams for fans. It would be even better if it was the best teams playing the best teams.
Why even bother with that pesky ol' regular season. UT never would have lost to Florida and all would be well, right? Penn State, Clemson, South Carolina wouldn't have had the trouble of losing all those games
The upside is that it builds your resume. OU is potentially ranked below Texas right now despite fewer losses if they hadn't beaten Michigan. If A&M hadn't come back against South Carolina, they are the worst of the 2-loss teams if they hadn't played Notre Dame and not even in consideration. As it stands, they'd be a borderline team like BYU even with only 1-loss without the Notre Dame win - they'd have 0 wins against ranked teams. Vandy this year would be in a much better situation had they won a big non-conference game. Miami's not in consideration right now if they didn't play Notre Dame. In 2023, Texas doesn't make the 4-team playoff over an undefeated FSU if they hadn't played Alabama in the non-conference schedule. There are plenty of examples on both sides where playing a big non-conference game helps or hurts people. You're solving the last problem instead of looking forward, as though the specific circumstances of this season define every season. In a future year, maybe Texas has an A&M-like SEC schedule and plays all the bottom teams and needs a non-conference win to stand out as a 2-loss team.
Remember when a lot of people made the incredibly dumb argument against expanding the CFB playoff that doing so would diminish the importance of regular season games?
