One of those preseason mags ranked Texas #1 at every single position...obnoxious and pandering but maybe they were right.

It would be highway robbery if Alabama goes ahead of Texas. That being said I'll be rooting for Alabama in the CCG just to show the hypocrisy.
If the higher seeded team wins every CCG, we'll have 4 undefeated power 4 conference champs.

A 1-loss Big XII champ isn't getting in over an undefeated power 5 team, even if that 1-loss team is Texas.

It's funny that those with the least comprehension are always the first to respond.

1) Gundy
2) Leipold
3) Klieman
4) Campbell
5) Sark
6) Brown


Weird ranking Klieman so low with an 8-4 record and most of those losses being super close, man's about 4 heartbeats away from being 11-1. and about 6 heartbeats away from 12-0 with a real shot of being a playoff team. Getting smashed, probably, but being a playoff team.

Texas, lost 33-30 in OT, right? and had a shanked field goal and believe PAT issue.
Us, 42-35 and had a 4th down in our territory etc.
Missouri, wasn't it a 60 yard field goal that beat them instead of going to OT? Or 50+ instead of 30-27 who knows?

He has 3 losses by a combined 13 points. Oklahoma State beat them by the most by 8. He has 4 losses by a combined 21 points.

We had some close losses but that is crazy.

Sark should absolutely not be anywhere close to the top of this.

It's gotta be Gundy, right? They were mediocre last year, seemingly left for dead a week into conference play, and they won the final Bedlam and made the CCG.

Brown did a nice job, but he doesn't have a win anywhere close to Gundy's wins over OU and KSU.

They looked like hot garbage when we played them, like they'd be battling for bowl eligibility. Quite the turnaround.

Just replied to the wrong message is all. Meant to quote Letterkenny's further up. I need my afternoon coffee.

But, to your point, they absolutely should take Texas over Bama in that situation and I would love to see how they spin keeping the SEC champ (and possibly the conference as a whole) out.
