How does it feel to have beaten your rivals


Two years in a row, beating our rivals is great!!
Playoff appearance would be nice, but it is undeserved this year.

A&M is 11-1, y'all are 9-3. Hope this helps!
Yes, that's immensely helpful. Hopefully it spurs our AD to cancel the series with tOSU and future big name programs and simply schedule a cupcake for our first game like most programs do.

You are in regardless with one loss. The nd win won’t matter much. But a loss to nd could have meant you are on the bubble.

Think about it the committee could have left atm out easily then, especially if Miami gets let in and ACC steals another bid as well as Utah.

The playoff committee has a big issue on their shoulders because nobody is going to schedule tough OOC anymore

Not exactly a show of support for your team, is it?

You’re missing the point, surely on purpose. Do you want big name out of conference matchups in the future or not? Texas would be 10-2 if they swapped Ohio St for North Texas this season.


No one cares.

OU played Michigan, and unlike Texas, won.

And even if you did play North Texas, and were 10-2, you’d still be exactly where you are now…. Out of the playoffs.

Texas is out because Texas got punked by a really bad Florida team and had to go to overtime in two other games against unranked teams to win.

They ain’t that good.

And everyone knows they got lucky to play OU with an injured QB, which is why Texas has been ranked behind OU since they both had 2 losses. Not one poll, not one… has had Texas over OU since both have had 2 losses.

Congrats on beating Bama and Tennessee on the road.

Mateer was good for 3 INTs in Dallas, he was good for 3 INTs on Gaylord Focker Field last night. If Texas played them again today, the result would be the same.

Depending on the results of the SEC CCG, the conference may send a healthy and ready UGA to the bye while paper tiger aTm, turnover machine OU, and rudderless Ole Miss get bounced.

Texas may end up going to Orlando to play USC, so you'll be entertained either way.

Michigan and Ohio State aren't even close to the same thing.

Did Ohio St gain anything by beating Texas?
Probably not based on how things have turned out so far. However, if TX didn’t lose to FL, OSU could have claimed TX as a quality win in the face of complaints about a weak schedule.

Are you really this dense? Ohio State is the only loss that we directly controlled scheduling this season. Picking ND, Miami, BYU over Texas signals that there is no value in a tough P4 OOC game.
If TX won that game but lost to UGA and FL, they would still likely be in the thick of the playoff hunt. Scheduling games like that is risky, but can pay off big if you win. UGA has played games against ND and Oregon in recent years when they were good and could have hurt the Dawgs’ chances even more in a 4-team playoff, but those wins actually helped their case in the long run.

Again I’ll say, if TX didn’t lose to FL, it wouldn’t have mattered what happened against OSU. Win your games and you don’t have to worry about the results.

Maybe a "quality loss" will be a factor for them?

But we don’t control scheduling Florida. We do control scheduling OOC. And if the committee isn’t going to respect sos why should Texas or any other team care?
SOS isn’t the problem when you lose 3 games. I asked before, but if you lost 4 games instead of 3, would you still point to your wins against top teams as an argument for getting into the playoffs?

If we acknowledge the sec is the hardest conference AND we are going to 9 conf games next year then why would any team risk playing any OOc team with a pulse?
Losing to teams like Florida is why the gamble might be worth it. If you pull off a win against a marquee team like OSU, you can more likely be forgiven for a bad loss. When you lose 3 games, that opportunity goes away.

It is solely about that. No if they lost 4,5,6 etc games that’s different. It’s swapping ONE loss for a win, which could have easily been achieved.

Serious question for everyone here.

Does a 10-2 Texas make the playoff with losses to Florida and UGA? I guarantee they do and THATS the issue period
A 10-2 TX makes the playoff if they lost to OSU and beat FL. A season isn’t made or broken based on 1 game anymore. You lost 3 games, and OSU was only 1 of them. FL should have been a rent-a-win game for TX compared to the other teams they beat, so you can’t on it all on the OSU game when you didn’t take care of business elsewhere.

Again, does a 10-2 Texas team make it with the exact same losses except osu? If you agree yes, that’s the problem

Your hate for Texas is clouding your judgement here.

1) a 10-2 Texas is 100% in as we would have the most top 10 wins, one of the highest sos, and H2H over OU and Vandy.

2) you live in a delusional world with Mateer. You got beat by Texas again and your qb said he was fine. If he wasn’t your coach should have played your backup and if he sucks then recruit / nil a better backup as insurance.

No doubt at 10-2 Texas gets in. And honestly, it may not even matter the losses.

And I answered you. While I think there is a serious imbalance in schedules, conferences with a 1 or 2 loss team won’t be held out over a 4 loss team.

However, in this circumstance we are comparing Texas to teams that have one fewer loss not 2. That’s the point. The scheduling is imbalanced and while you can’t control your conference schedule you can control your OOC.

We are going to agree to disagree here. I’d rather not take the risk of losing to OSU as it’s clear Thai committee values W-L above all else than have a win over OSU.

Right now Texas has wins over 3 of the top 12 teams which is the most of any team in America, yet you like others on here are drawing a hard line in a 3 loss team over a 2 loss team. An extra win over OSU doesn’t make a difference if a loss cripples you the way it does.
