It’s pretty ironic. I’d be willing to bet that Little Cypress has the highest % of per capita Aggie “t-shirt fans.” 

😂 I’m not taking that bet.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that the Big 12 is a good conference this year. Like I said yesterday, Texas is only being seriously considered for a playoff spot right now because they won by double digits in Tuscaloosa. 

And they arguably played the toughest schedule in the country.  But that doesn’t jive with platitudes like, the SEC is the best!

I'm not here to defend Mack. I don't agree with his takes sometimes.

In this particular thread, it was Texas fans that brought A&M up in discussion.

Call me names all you want. My family has always been Aggies. Several have attended, including my wife.

Kinda like you have those WO-S ties. 😉

 

But I have been here long enough to see who really spews the hate.

I don’t agree with the term. That’s an aggy term.  And not one Mack came up with either.  I believe anyone has the right to root on who they want and are just as valid a fan as an alum.   It’s aggy nation who apparently believes people shouldn’t root for Texas unless they went there. 
 

Edit:  I will take it a step further.  It’s one of the dumbest terms in all of sports.  I apologize for using it to make a point.

Didn't say it wasn't. I have been very disappointed.

But that's not my point.

It seems some just can't help themselves. Got to always take their shot even when it's not relevant to the topic.

 

BTW, I am not of the opinion that the Big 12 is trash. I do believe the SEC is better. Glad we are there.

Cry me a river.  Would you like me to highlight the posts by whom that instigates these “shots.”  You are a “t shirt fan” (as Mack likes to call such folks) of a school that’s identity is based on taking shots against another school.  You guys just make it abundantly easy to counter punch.

Said this for years.  They went from having a shot of winning the big 12 and a chance at a possible playoff to what they are now. 

Meh, they were very mediocre in the Big 12 as well.  Usually middle to lower middle of the pack.  They are the best in the business at doing less with more.

Since everything is a trash conference compared to the sec, should that even be an argument? Lmao

Since we are all fishing….matchups, common opponents, who beat who….yada, yada, yada….how about this:

[b]Had Texas gotten one more 1st down, they could have taken a knee, beat Oklahoma, and end up undefeated. [/b]Oh yeah, here comes that trash conference again. Won’t be an argument next year. I’ll be waiting on that excuse.

BTW, why does a team’s injured QB have anything to do with discussions. My teams never get consideration when that happens (Colt McCoy ring a bell ?)

It is widely beloved among the pundits that had that happened, Texas would have been the 1 seed. 
 

for what it’s worth, if they do leave it out FSU and put in Bama, Texas will be favored against Washington.  This scares me a bit because people have underestimated the Huskies all season.  But IF that’s the case and IF Texas were to win that game, it would set up either a rematch against Bama OR a Texas/Michigan matchup.  Either way, two top 5 all time programs playing in Houston for all the marbles.  Talk about printing money.  It’s also a network’s opposite of dry dream. 

This would be a little rude to an undefeated team 

[If this is subscriber only, ESPN projects 1) Michigan 2) Wash 3) UT 4) Bama 5) UGA 6) FSU]

Texas’s best argument is they won a trash conference and lost against the only decent team in the conference.  They did beat Bama in week 2 who was going through a QB controversy. 
 

I could argue the same for all the 7 teams.  This is the first year that the playoff didn’t work itself out.  A few teams are getting screwed. 

 Incorrect.  This is their best argument 

Bama is playing way better. I was super impressed with them winning on a P for K against the powerhouse Auburn team that got boat raced by a team that was FCS a couple of years ago the week before.  And you do realize Georgia’s best win is also FSU’s best win? Texas also did what none of you SEC chumps could do.  Win in Tuscaloosa (by 2 scores no less).  But, but it was week 2 is the weak argument of someone who hangs banners for being undefeated against Abilene Christian and Texas State the last few years….

Just now, PhatMack19 said:

I’m just naming teams better than FSU.  I could name a bunch, but probably not one that lost to South Alabama by 4 scores 

Gotcha.  I don’t disagree with that. And my guess is FSU probably gets left out.

And aren’t you the one still talking about Ohio State?  Talk about someone who doesn’t know anything 😂🤣

we shall see.  But I’m willing to be a large sum of money on two things. Georgia is out and Texas is in.  Not “pay another awful hire NOT to coach” amount of money but an amount you wouldn’t be willing to risk 😂😂

You know somebody in the discussions?  Just curious where you’re getting this with such confidence.  

Let’s just say I know someone who knows someone.  That’s my information. I trust it but I wouldn’t bet my life on it.

Who is the 3rd?  

1 Michigan

2 Washington 

B3 Texas.  
 

my belief is that part is done.  Not saying it’s right or wrong but it’s what is coming.

Will they choose the four best ... or most deserving? "It is best," CFP executive director Bill Hancock said on Tuesday. "Most deserving is not anything in the committee's lexicon. They are to rank the best teams in order, and that's what they do. Just keep that word in mind, best teams."
 

based on this statement (which we all know the committee plays by no rules and does whatever the heck they want), FSU is out.  But also based on that statement, Georgia should probably be in.  I can see them using this standard to leave FSU out, but not to put Georgia in.  only one SEC team makes it, and Bama won the SEC by beating Georgia.  You can’t put Georgia in after Bama just beat them, but I don’t see them leaving the best conference out of the playoffs when they have two 1-loss teams with those losses being to two teams in the playoff discussion.  

Georgia isn’t even in the discussion.  There’s a reason you can get 12 to 1 on them still getting in. Because it ain’t happening. 

Guys, it’s between FSU and Bama for the last spot. That’s the discussion in Grapevine right now.  And that’s not me saying it’s right or wrong.  But I believe that’s the reality.

Washington would gash Texas’ secondary. That’s by far the worst matchup for the Horns

I would put them as the 1 seed but they will be 2.

Florida State has 1 yard total offense. Louisville has 11.

Wow!  Did they both hire Ferentz’s kid??

I had to watch the Horns, as well.  Just hope that SEC bias doesn’t rear its head one more time.

I couldn't miss it either... We need Florida St. to lose tonight and we will get in the playoffs.  Right now it's still 0-0 in the 2nd.

Word I’m getting is barring Iowa getting 6 safeties and beating Michigan, 1-3 is already set (Michigan, Washington and Texas in that order).  4 is Bama or FSU.  Bama for sure if FSU loses obviously. 

And I will say though that we are greatly enjoying the eldest Connell in Orangefield.  I sat behind the bench recently during a varsity game.  He’s gonna be a really good one. But he needs to stay with boys basketball anyway.  He will keep that nice head of hair longer.  (I promise that wasn’t a dig on you Manny!)

I couldn’t miss the Longhorns game today, otherwise I would have loved to have had some chicken fingers and watched some hoops with my guy @BS Wildcats

Bump 😉😂

Word is 4th seed will be either Bama or FSU.  Could be Bama in any event but need Noles to lose to make it for sure.  Michigan, Washington, and Texas penned in 1-3.  Georgia is out.  They lost their only really tough game of the year.  Their schedule strength is lower than anyone’s left. Buh bye.

Michigan, Washington, Texas, Alabama. 

A lot of experts agree with you, especially if FSU loses.  In that order.  Apparently, Alabama may be needing to root hard for Louisville more than anyone. 
 

and I gotta say, SEC may be a bit overrated this year.  New Mexico State certainly thinks so.

Now if bama win s and fl st somehow wins.   Who’s left out?

That win may be worse for Florida state
