re: Bama making it in over Texas...fair or not?

Why? Nearly every team not names osu struggled to beat a team below 500, I can point a bad win on everyone’s resume. Is it because it’s ot that’s everyone’s hang up? OU should have lost to auburn, bama to sc, Indiana to penn state, atm to sc, I could go on

Respect for actually wanting to have open dialogue here without trolls and bs

This isn't difficult. Bama played an extra game. Texas should not be rewarded for that.

I hate Bama and even I understand this.

Alabama had a great and obviously playoff worthy season and a loss in Atlanta doesn't change that.

we're probably legitimately just on the wrong side of the bubble. i don't view that as us getting screwed. i do think it disincentivizes scheduling the Ohio States instead of Rice, which I hope we don't follow through with that.

just don't lose to a shite Florida team

SEC fans: SOS should matter!

same SEC fans: your great wins dont outweigh that bad loss you had

Dont claim you give a damn about SOS if you dont think losses cannot be redeemed by great wins. On the road against Georgia was a great win and arguably the best win of the year. Vandy was a great win, at Mizzou(who still had their starting QB) was a nice win. UT was a nice win.

Dont ride the fence, just say your opinion, should a great win offset a bad loss? If you say it doesnt then fine, well just all schedule cupcakes instead of taking a risk of playing a talented team(which FSU is) in the driving rain in their home stadium for the first game of year. Well just play Middle Tenn St instead

Texas logic....

We shouldn't be punished for scheduling and losing to Ohio State, but Bama should be punished for making it to the title game and losing to Georgia.

Makes sense

Point is we are giving way too much of a pass to teams that play no one and screwing teams who actually schedule and play hard teams, which noonday are top 15 teams.

Welcome to the SEC. Just because Texas played Ohio St. OOC this year, doesn't mean SEC teams haven't been dealing with this forever.

No team has more top 14 wins than anyone since…..2019 lsu the team yall love to say is the greatest of all time. Even that team struggled against a bad Texas team on the road.

Texas was 8-5 in 2019 not 4-8.

This Texas team is garbage. They beat an overrated A&M team that may have played the worst or maybe second worst SEC schedule in quite a long time (UT last year’s being comparable).

A&M played one team with a winning SEC record. Their ranking is smoke and mirrors. Then in the same breadth you want to talk about quality wins.

Bama has two losses, Texas has 3 and one a very bad loss.

Why is this even a debate? Even if Bama loses to UGA this weekend Texas should not get in over them because Bama was the better team through the season and made it to the championship game. They shouldn’t be punished for that.

Texas also got taken to the wire by the other two worst teams in the conference. They are not a playoff team.

I rank bad losses much higher than good wins, so I would keep both of them out due to FL and FSU losses.

But Bama has a far stronger case than Texas. They have the best win in CFB from winning over Georgia. They have better, more consistent QB play. And their bad loss was out of conference which short circuit's Texas's main argument because FSU was a tough opponent when they were scheduled.

I'd have left Bama out, but I can understand their inclusion. There's no scenario where Texas is deserving.
