Texas has a really good defense. Saying neither team has a defense is ignorant.

As much as I hate Texas, if a one loss team other than them gets in and wins it you have an incredibly tainted year.

The committee says it’s just about “best” and not deserving, worthy, resume, etc…

Honestly that probably makes Texas a 2 seed over Washington and fsu.

I don’t agree with that criteria but that’s how they have spun their decision making process in lack of any actual known criteria.

Sagarin had Texas with #2 schedule entering this weekend.

Have you ever watched tOSU in a game and thought 'hey, did they just get away with that thing that the other team got called for'?

There's a reason many on here won't miss Texas.

Mine is being tired of hearing about them despite not really doing much over the last decade + with exception to this season.
Ehhh not really, the one inch thing against Michigan was the only time I remember something like that for OSU personally but again bias. I usually don’t have much of a problem with the refs but that INT demanded a review, I think the big ten refs are the opposite and review happy but they usually get it right.

Easiest $48.57 I may ever make betting Texas ML today. Yeah I had to bet a fair amount, so theoretically could have lost it. But this was one of those games I take the layup on to get a few bucks.

I think they’d have won closer vs ISU or ksu but still a lock. OU kind of tricky but I imagine hard to beat this team twice.

Then you admitting the game don’t matter. Sweet.
Well that’s a leap. No what I’m saying is that their star QB the person who lead them to win those games is gone, his backup is t nearly as good so they aren’t the same team without him. I wouldn’t put FSU in, they are going to get obliterated

I just don’t see a team like FSU doing everything they needed to getting passed over by a one loss team. Eye test sure and probably ends up being a more exciting playoff but still would be a massive F you. Will be interesting to see it play out.

No, why would you even think that? They are in with a FSU loss and possibly in with a FSU win

I won't be shocked if they throw tOSU in there with a 'B1G beats one another up and they almost beat Michigan' after using their 13th data point, which Texas has, another year to put tOSU in.
