It's very simple. Losing to OSU is not why Texas is being left out. Losing to Florida is.


That is incorrect. At 10-2 Texas would be ahead of Oklahoma (due to the H2H) and anywhere from 6-8 tonight when the rankings come out. If this was the case, Bama belongs outside of the top 10 as well (FSU loss, who just got spanked by Florida).

Texas is it better than UGA at their house, very few people are.

You disagree it wasn’t a very close game in the 4th before Simmons jumps offsides and gives them a free possession and the onside kick?

Personally, I think it's great that 7 SEC teams could make a case for getting in and at least 3 of them will likely feel slighted in some way when the field is announced. Yes, Texas does have a legitimate argument. They also have more pull than your average university. I'm fine with them making an argument as long as they don't abuse their political power.


We don't have as much political power as you think. Back in '08 we were in a 3 way tie with Tech and Oklahoma (with a win over Oklahoma) and the Sooners went to the title game over us. If we had any real power we would have gone over them.
Texas fans just need to chill and take a lesson from this about OOC scheduling and let it go.

Apparently, chicken got about 100 emails from Texas fans begging for me to stop

Chicken determined it was bad for business if I chased all of you off

Well, if we'd lost to Georgia (who is 11-0 outside of their game with us, much as Ohio State would have been 11-0 outside of their game with you if you'd won) we would be outside the top 10 at 9-3 with a loss to #2, #8 and a bad loss to sub-500 team.

But we didn't, so we aren't.

Dodds was one arrogant POS. He hit some epic butt hurt levels when A&M left the BIG 12. It was glorious to watch.

Mark my words, the next thing the donghorns are going to want is for all the SEC teams to be paid based on viewership of their games. They will say some bullshite about that is the way the networks want it.

Hopefully Snakey will be long gone before our next network contract is to be negotiated .

Was that game truly 4 possessions or did UGA go for it twice on 4th and then kick an onside kick?

Why are we acting like these aren’t fairly normal football plays that Georgia executed and Texas didn’t? It’s not like we were shooting free throws . The risk to Georgia in not executing is the same as the reward of Texas preventing them from converting…

Kiddos for UGA for sure but if we are going to dissect every game that was a game through 3 quarters

When you’re comparing resumes of very similarly situated teams I think it’s fair.

So you agree with my point, it's scheduling a tough OOC team that is holding Texas out not losing to Florida.

You were owning it dude and the bovine pussies complained that you were hurting their vaginas.

Unfortunately, you will never be able to get a ban bet again because you enjoy it too much.

Having 1 really solid OOC game a year (or at least planning to when you schedule it) is not unique. Most of the league attempts to do it


Yep. A&M traveled to play the defending national champ runner up. Difference is we won our game, and we didn't lose any games to lower tier teams (other than 1).

If you'd lost to Ohio State but won at Georgia you would be in. The problem is losing 3 games and 1 of them being to a sub-500 team.

I don't disagree with the general premise that playing these big OOC games (and even more so playing tougher in-conference schedules for some of us, you guys included this year) is not given the credit it deserves. However, your resume isn't so much better than all the 2 loss teams that you can afford one of your 3 losses being to 4-8 Florida.

If you'd had this same resume last year I think you'd have had a pretty good shot. It's just not a good year to have 3 losses.

it was a great call. Nothing takes away from that but dont act like a mid game onside kick is a "fairly normal football play"

Fairly normal is your QB trying to draw our DL offsides on 4th down with no intention of actually going on 4th, and it worked so coaching call.

Normal is not kicking onside in the early 4th quarter of a game. "

hard schedules, especially out of conference…

But on the other hand, do we really need a 3 loss team


So which do you want more - harder OOC schedules or some 3 loss teams in the CFP?

I don't disagree. It's a tough field this year, but the issue I have is when Tech is scheduling Arkansas Pine Bluff and Texas is playing at tOSU, there seems to be no reward for scheduling those games. tOSU would still be ranked 1 or 2 without it's game against us, and we'd be anywhere from 6-8 if we scheduled a gimme win. It sets an ugly precedent for the sport and I don't think its in the sports best interest.

Wouldn't bother me one bit. Neither Texas nor Vandy has what it takes to win it all. We're arguing to see who gets the right to go lose to a better team. I find the whole argument pretty silly.
