I don’t blame Bama. Look at LSU in 2022 and 2023. If it's the current 12 team playoff, those Florida State losses keep LSU out, while teams like Penn State get in playing nobody OOC. This year Fla State may keep the Tide out.
Texas is likely out because 3 losses, and they opened at Ohio State.
There's zero reason to take that chance. Spare me the "don't be a pussy" comments; would you rather play a good team in September, or make the playoffs?

They have done that forever.

Auburn has an upcoming home and home with Notre Dame and then a home and home with Miami. We don't have to sit anything out.
Well when you can’t win 6 games, you really have nothing to lose by scheduling those big games. You’re not sniffing the playoffs anyway

Ohio State is 140 -14 at home the past 20 years.
Go play in Columbus then get back to me. ND is not the same thing especially this year.
Yes we could, or we could do what 95% of the rest of college football does which is schedule an FCS (Texas doesn't do this) or 3 G5 and a cupcake P4 member.

Frick the committee

The whole point of the playoff being 12 teams was that you could have these games and not get that hurt by them. Texas isn't out of the playoff because they lost to OSU, it's because they lost to 4-8 Florida.
If Bama doesn't make it, it's because they lost to a terrible FSU team by 2 TDs.
If you win the OOC games, then you don't have worries

That works in a vacuum when every team is playing an equally weighted or even close OOC or SOS.
When teams are ducking competition to pad their W-L record its bad for the sport and bad for TV.
Our game had 15M views and it was a noon kick. Whats that same game Ohio State playing Wake Forest or Texas playing Purdue? half maybe.
Kuddos to both our schools for scheduling, the point is F the pansies who run from decent OOC scheduling (95% of CFB) so if the committee is not going to follow their own SOS principles for getting into the CFB Playoff I say Texas should join the rest of the college teams and schedule cupcakes.
