No SEC in the CFP

[Gringo1873]

For the first time in my life, I want Bama to get that last spot and keep UT out. Just to watch Whorns fans heads explode about head to head.

This will not happen. Texas is in.

FSU would get their other QB back in time for the playoffs. They really are playing this game with both hands tied behind their back. If they win, they are in.

No, he’s out for season.

He means Rodemaker

 

[ShreveFrog]

Rodemaker Is not much better from what I’ve seen.

 

[Chico Dusty]

He means Rodemaker

Oh yep, my bad. Makes sense.

 

[froginmn]

Rodemaker Is not much better from what I’ve seen.

Really? Based upon what? He has a higher QBR than Jordan Travis, and 5 TD's against zero interceptions.

Texas ain’t getting in. Bama is just the better team right now. The committee won’t consider what happened in September to be anything meaningful.

The contortions they will go through to explain and justify such a thing will be glorious to behold...

Are they the best 1 loss team?

Against what competition? He did not look good at all vs. Georgia Tech.

Or Florida

 

[PineyWoodsFrog]

If FSU wins, Texas is out I think. Not the popular opinion, but I just don't see a 1-loss SEC champ sitting at home.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Or Florida

I’m sorry, that’s the game I meant.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Are they the best 1 loss team?

That’s not the question. The question is are they comparable (yes), and if so, who has the better resume based on the criteria the committee must consider.

From the bylaws: "The CFP Committee will consider four criteria when teams are deemed comparable: championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and comparative outcomes of common opponents."

Texas easily wins if they follow this criteria.

Not sure if you're thinking of someone else, but he didn't play Georgia Tech.

He did play Florida in the Swamp.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Yes, I meant Florida.

Man, I'm glad you're not infallible.

 

[TooColdU]

Wish I was a fly on the wall in the committee room right now. You think they drink alcohol while huddled around watching these games?

They probably don't even watch the games. Some unpaid interns at ESPN give them a slip with the names of the 4 "best" teams.

Pretty much my thoughts too, plus the SEC champ is not getting left out…period. September games on college football are exactly like the crazy early November games in college basketball.
