2025-2026 College Football Season

[greg683x]

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.

ah, that is what the play by play said. Speaking of ND, the only 3 ranked teams they played were those first 2 to Miami and A&M which they lost and USC which is 9-3 and ranked 17.  Is that resume better than Texas? What about the coach less Mississippi squad whose only ranked wins are Oklahoma snd Tulane with a loss to Georgia.  Do those wins over the Citadel, Georgia State, and Washingron State really ring as worthy.

There are 7 SEC teams above .500 in conference. Texas is one and played 4 of the others going 3-1. They ran a gauntlet  While the only one A&M played was Texas who beat it. Ole Miss was 1-1. Vande was 0-2. Bama and UGA were 2-1 and obviously play each other again for the SEC title.

Schedule should matter especially when head to head actually happened.

Kelani Sitake is going to remain at BYU and not take the PSU job.  Not a great sign for the status of that PSU job.

Joey McGuire is also getting extended (at around 7 million a year) and will remain at Texas Tech.

So the rankings came out last night and Texas did jump Vande but at 13 has almost no shot given 2 conference champions behind them are in.

Also, only the following 4 maybe 5 teams will be playoff teams both years. Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Oregon, and then maybe Notre Dame (10th).  If Texas Tech beats BYU, then ND should be the last at large in unless the committee decides that Miami's win over ND actually matters.

Of note, if Duke beats Virginia, the ACC likely won't have a team in the playoff as the Tulane/North Texas will win the American and be in and James Madison (currently 25th)  should win the Sun Belt and would also almost certainly be ahead of an 8-5 ACC champion Duke team.
