Texas has had to play 5 teams currently ranked in the top 10, they?ve beaten 3 of them.

There?s teams currently in the top 10 that have lost against the only ranked team they?ve played.

It makes no sense to judge these teams solely on amount of losses when the disparity of their schedules is so different

I don't see the argument for Texas at all.
what about Oklahoma?  Do you see an argument for them?  I mean i think most people have OU making it, yet they lost 23-6 on a neutral site to Texas. 

What about Vanderbilt, whose only ranked win is Tennessee and who also lost to Texas.

Also, did you know Texas A&M has only beaten 1 ranked opponent which was Notre Dame in week 3 and they basically only won because ND went for 2 up 6 instead of just kicking the extra point.

I get the Florida loss is horrible, but Texas' other losses are to 1 and 3 (OSU and UGA) and they have 2 top 10 wins (A&M and OU) plus the top 15 win (Vande). 

With the size of the conferences there is a lot of schedule imbalance. It isnt nearly as cut and dry as it used to be. I think head to head really needs to matter as should scheduling a game on the road at the best team in the country when you didn't have to.
I think Committee is punishing Texas for going to OT against Miss St and Kentucky as well as the fact that they got beat badly by Georgia and Florida.

They seem to put more stock in bad results than great ones as evidenced by Notre Dame remaining firmly on the inside despite really not having any great results.

nitpicking but Notre Dame didnt go for two they just botched the snap on the PAT.
