3-2 against top 10 teams, should they be punished for playing a tougher schedule, when Notre Dame lost last year to Northern Illinois at home but got in. So, let's have a fun vote, simple poll, should UT get a playoff spot. DD
Sark made some good points. I don’t necessarily disagree with him but they’re gonna need some help today.
Do I think Texas is one of the top 12 teams in the country - yes, probably top 8.....but I don't think they get in...because of the Florida loss....they should never have schedule OSU. DD
I voted "No" and I want us to keep scheduling tough OOC games. We shouldn't have lost to Florida and we also shouldn't have gotten dog walked by Georgia for the third time in two years. This team barely beat Kentucky and Mississippi State. That body of work should be weighed against our three top-10 wins. I don't think we have an argument for being a legitimate title contender. National champions are consistently great and we were not that this year.

Where is that 10th win coming from? This pole doesn’t really make sense because we don’t know where everyone is gonna end up.
What a homer poll. Lost 35-10 to Georgia like 2 weeks ago wins over SHSU, san jose, UTEP = squat in your real games you were 7- 3 with a loss to 3-8 Florida. Nice home win over your biggest rival, kinda like when a 10-0, #3 ranked UH rolled into Memorial stadium in 1990. It’s kinda like that.
