Why wouldn’t Texas just lose to A&M?

[stormtrooper8]

A&M and Georgia both control their own destiny

 

[stormtrooper8]

Playoffs need to be capped at 6 teams

No auto qualifiers

It’s gonna be entertaining but can’t reward mediocrity

Yeah, I was referring to the leftover teams hypothetically.

Been saying that for weeks. Some 9-3 regular season team will win a national title where they would typically be in the autozone liberty bowl

Dumb

Why is that not exciting though to see an underdog like that win ? We get the same four teams every year lol.

 

[JDS]

To get Washington & Michigan last year was actually a real treat and very rare.

 

[KingKolzig]

Yes exciting but tradition is long gone. Remember Tcu played for a title, so even with 4 teams cinderella stories can happen. 6 is a great balance imo

Yeah, that’s a good example actually the year before.

This is a scenario that I see happening for the Big 12. The winner will advance and have a top four seed, which is ridiculous and I don’t like that rule same thing for the ACC. The loser of the Big 12 championship will not get in because they’ll have one more loss than the next team that didn’t make it. That team will sneak in and we will have controversy all over again lol.

This is how I see the 12 teams playing out by strength of conference.

Big 10 = 4 teams
SEC = 3 teams
Big 12 = 2 teams
ACC = 2 teams
Mountain West = 1 team

You forgot Notre Dame. You have to knock someone out of that number.

Fawk you’re right

 

[seaborneq]

Fawk you’re right

That’s the main reason you can’t have a 3 loss team in it even if its the SEC. You win 75% of your games without winning your conference you are a C student.

 

[KingKolzig]

If kirby smart was crying as a 3 loss snub someone just ask him if he played 3 road games at ohio state

 

[seaborneq]

I believe none

But if Georgia lost the SEC title game most likely they’d get in

SEC bias is always gonna exists

Georgia couldn’t get in last year with a championship game loss. You can’t start putting teams in who lose their championship games when championship games are playoff games too. I remember one of the big sports travesties of all time was when Oklahoma was so high in the ranking that they could lose their conference championship and still play for the national championship. They lost both games and didn’t win shit. Can’t have that happen anymore.

Texas loses this game, they are guaranteed playoffs. They win this game then they are in another game against a desperate Uga

2-0 isnt that better than 0-1

But 1-1 is a flat out disaster. disaster.

Honestly Georgia should just rest this next game

Also is Texas/A&M that much of a rivalry?

 

[KingKolzig]

Rivalry? Maybe if texas was 4-8 and could end am season. Not a thing here tho. I think they throw the game i really do

0-1 guaranteed bye week

2-0 better yes, but very very risky

1-1 worst case ever, month of tough football games no byes

 

[KingKolzig]

Texas holding -212

I wouldnt bet that no way

Yup

it’s a fair question

Texas/A&M not much of a rivalry

Texas is such an overhyped football state
