100% agree and the losses wouldn’t matter. It’s 3 wins over the top 12 teams. At 10-2 it wouldn’t matter, which is why cdc should cancel all OOc games from here on out

You either weigh wins and and losses against top teams appropriately not.

People hammer sor and sos constantly but if at the end of the day it's just W/L there is 0 point is playing anything but a soft ooc schedule

I thought Texas beat Texas A&M Friday night. I know Texas played the number 1, 3, 4, 8 and 14 ranked teams in the nation. Please provide Texas A&M resume for all the readers of this post. I’m happy for A&M to make it to the playoffs, but I’m not certain they’re ready. Texas A&M lost to a Texas team that was beaten by a Florida team.

It’s hard not to have that takeaway. So, yeah, until something changes, OOC should be as cupcake as possible.

And Texas almost lost to Miss state and Kentucky.

Texas was very hit or miss this year. Hence why they are 9-3. It’s a shame they went up there and closely played an Ohio State to then get punished for it.

Texas has a young quarterback who has frustrated me, but I sure do admire and respect his courage and grit. Texas offensive line I believe are mostly all first time starters. The team only returned nine starters from last year. You are correct in your observations on their performance; however, North Texas, Tulane and Virginia in my opinion are lack luster. I want to see the TV viewership ratings for the game any one of these teams might play in. They have played NO ONE!

Arch hanging in after the fall from grace showed a lot of toughness.

Many of the top 12 teams haven’t played anyone.

Yet, here we are. No interesting and fun OOC. Only cupcakes. Only wins

Sarge does 10-2 Texas team with same resume and swapping loss to osu with win against any .500 P4 team get them in the playoffs in your opinion?

If you think the answer is yes (I do) that’s why we are angry and want our admin to cancel future OOC games.

Is one of the losses to a 3 win Florida team?


Then it becomes a very long shot with 2 losses


Ohio state isn’t hurting you

Losing badly to Florida is and almost losing to Kentucky and Mississippi State is

I guess we just care more about different data when ranking college football. Who you lose to doesn’t matter to me as much as who you beat.

Any team can pad their record with playing nobodies and getting lucky avoiding real conference competition.

If Texas had the same record but had atm conference schedule I’d agree. But Texas beat 3 top 12 sec opponents. If that doesn’t matter and you are saying that resume with the Florida and uga loses still would keep Texas out then might as well just gift the playoffs berth to other conferences because mathematically it isn’t getting easier going to 9 conference games

Texas would be 10-2 if they swapped Ohio St for North Texas this season.

...or maybe they should have beaten OSU...and they would be 10-2.

Again, does a 10-2 Texas team make it with the exact same losses except osu? If you agree yes, that’s the problem
What you seem to be saying is that you would like to be able to lose to a bad conference team instead of to a great out of conference team.

No matter how you frame it, you want to be able to lose to a bad team and make it into the playoffs when if you just took care of business, it wouldn’t even matter that you lost to OSU.

Face it: TX lost 3 games, and if you win just 1 of them, you would be sitting pretty and not having to complain about wanting an easier schedule, even though you lost to one of the easy teams in your schedule.

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.
You can’t look at OSU in isolation. It wasn’t the OSU loss that is keeping TX on the bubble at best. It is the other 2 losses, including one to a bad FL team, and the other a bad beat down by UGA. Being beaten by 2 great teams would be much more forgivable if not for the loss to a bad team.

At the end of the day, scheduling an OOC game against a good team is going to be a good or bad decision based on several contextual factors. This season, TX lost to a bad FL team, so of course you are going to look at the OSU game as a mistake. In another season, you might be on the bubble and having a win against an OSU-like team would be the deciding factor over another team with a similar record.

This season, you regret scheduling OSU, but you wouldn’t be saying that if you won that game or if you won against UGA or FL. The regret is only coming in because TX didn’t take care of business against 2 other teams. This season’s context is causing the regret, but another context might have you thinking differently.

You’re right and he probably will, but at least it will be a home game in Norman against Notre Dame.

I like OUs chances in that one.


Notre Dame probably can't win it all, but they'll be a tough out for anyone
