Great teams do shite like that all the time. Most teams that have won NCs this century have at least one loss


National title teams play their best when their best is needed. Look at Georgia in 2021 and 2022. In the 4th quarter vs Alabama in 2021 and the 4th quarter vs Ohio State in 2022, UGA elevated their game to win games that they could have easily lost. On Saturday, they did everything possible to give it away. Alabama had a little bit to do with it, but it was very frustrating to watch what we all thought was another great team piss down their leg with self-inflicted wounds when they found themselves in some trouble.

There are no models. What are you talking about?

The BCS has a computer component with 6 different models that analyze data to make its votes for the rankings. Then, for each system, it gives a score for each team it ranks in the top 25 from 25 to 1, drops the highest and lowest score, and then divides by 100.

Who gives a shite about some biased predictive model

I bet you didn't when 2-loss LSU jumped from 7 to 2 in the final polls and over a 1-loss team that had a sole, single possession loss on the season vs the team that was #1 in the penultimate rankings that year.

I sure didn't just like I don't mind Texas jumping undefeated FSU to get into the CFP this year.

I grew up an LSU fan, but went to Texas for school so I'm happy.

We jumped Kansas because they didn't go to the conference or win the conference championship. Then Oklahoma beat Missouri anyways.

Me too.

It's going to be UTx vs Bama in the finals, and that's a tough matchup for Bama. They are very good behind Ewers and very fast and athletic on defense

I'm honestly surprised Michigan is the favorite to win the Rose Bowl. That is an easy bet to make to cover. The first thing my buddy that went to Michigan said was "we're fricked". I hope Texas does not shite the bed in the Sugar Bowl. I have Bama and Texas in the NC game. I just hope it isn't anything like 2009 or 2011.

When it revealed Bama at #4, the groans from UM players before feigning excitement were pretty funny.

Using only week 13 and 14:
1 Texas
2 Penn State
3 Mizzou
4 Michigan

This is why the eye test alone isn’t the best metric.

Yes but remember when Jameison Williams
Was Hurt? They all complained? Have you seen a whole lot Dawg fans complaining? Nope. I applaud you for not complaining about Brock
bowers, and ladd McConkey, and Xavier Mims all be injured. And they still only won because they got a call that should’ve been overturned on 4th and 7th. Georgia is a better team than Bama, period, with healthy best players. I think
It was a mistake by Bobo. And Kirby. I do not think Bama is better. Milroe was awesome
Though

Injuries and refs are horseshite excuses made by losers. Next man up, and if you don't want refs to decide things, then play better. Georgia lost because they didn't execute.

Bama won 3 quarters of the Tx game - so really it was 1/4 of a loss - glad the committee understood this.

I'm sorry but I don't think that the Alabama team that needed a miracle play to beat 6-6 Auburn passes the eye test.

Dumb fricking Aggie cannot admit Texas legit because they never have been. Big brother will make aggie even more irrelevant.
