    I hear you.
    But dk how you're going to get the selection committee to buy
    Texas L to OU is better then Ohio States loss to Michigan.

    Need Iowa to upset Michigan.
    the playoff committee in 23 features a heavy influence of ex & current big10 associates.......it also features many ex ad/coaches from texas rivals........

    Well I would say you have to look at the quality of the wins each team has. Texas has the double digit win against Alabama and Ohio State has the win against a much inferior Norte Dame on like the last play.

    Did the A&M fans really revolt against the Stoops fire just so they can keep Elijah Robinson?

    How is Mark Stoops (NOT Bob Stoops) an upgrade over Jimbo?

    I didn't watch much A&M but from what I read Jimbo refused to evolve with the times. With the resources and talent already in place I think there's plenty of coaches that could do better than Jimbo, tbh.

    When you can get Kentucky football into the rankings, you're doing something right. I think he wants to stay there tho. I can't blame him.

    There are still a heck of a lot of W/L combinations I would love to see.
    This would be one.

    FL ST. Loses to L ville
    Bama lucks into beating Georgia in a crazy game
    Washington beats Oregon.
    Mich beats Iowa.
    UT beats Ok St.

    It would be hilarious to see the Committee have to decide between Alabama, Georgia, UT, Michigan (in for sure) and Washington (in for sure.)

    If the Committee followed their own rules UT must get in before Bama. But Bama would have just beaten last year’s champ, Georgia.
    So it would be, by the Committee rules:

    Michigan
    Washington
    UT
    Alabama

    But this is essentially replacing Georgia with UT? What???? A Georgia that got unlucky?

    I would love to see this actually occur. I could see a sudden rule change; Georgia in with Alabama.

    So many more possibilities.
    Ohio St. getting in AGAIN despite not playing in a conference championship would also be so telling.
    (So whytf do we play these conf championship games again when they mean what?) ohhhhh $
    It’s so cool when it comes down to who is most popular via Viewers and not rules of athletics. (Which are already unfair anyway. Because $)

    I just want to see chaos in the entertainment industry I guess. Makes it interesting.
    When it’s the breakdown of the real rule of law and democracy, I don’t like this at all.

    And this could get much worse with the 12 team system that is supposed to solve everything. While conferences are being torn apart…?
    So cool. When people start creating new systems to solve problems it really lets us know how people think imo. Or simply just making up problems that don’t really exist with the existing structure.

    Safe pick for ATM

    Elko

    Familiarity with team
    Good job at Duke
    Going to keep popular E Rob.

    edit: The powers that be had chosen Stoops and let it leak. Huge reaction from fans and players had the Aggies go back on it. Per Lucci. So Elko was next man up. Hiring has become a semi democratic process as long as you vote via the internet. Holy crap… I had no idea… No one wants to take any blame methinks. Lucci will remember this. He laid it out.

    Wow….

    yeah, the 12 team playoff is definitely going to create a whole slew of its own problems.

    i'm happier with elko that i would have been with stoops. for those that wanted a splash, they need look no farther than the last hire. also, rc slo , who wasn't a very splashy hire either turned out to be a solid hire. he never won a le but i think a&m fans have to be more realistic about the program.

    Just the FEAR of microchips in needles is spreading brain rot.
    Deion Sanders is called America’s coach by a pundit at the beginning of the year and brain rot runs with it for an imaginary TD.

    I coronated Sarkattack as America’s coach because he is a successful self aware alcoholic. So yeah…
    USA! Official designation from me. Not your looking for press hype to trigger you.

    At first I thought it’s just not needed. It’s not NCAA basketball where the regular season is definitely not must see.
    But then I thought of how strange and interesting it could be. So I’m in with Chaos.

    Had to be.
    He will steady the ship of talent already there. And I think he is much better at communicating with players and fans. He will not take Natty nail up nor be considered a royal hire. All business with a bit of, “please stay out of my business and let me do my job” Ie this is not an extension of Jimbo talk, so stay the f out of team business. Oh and, “don’t worry about sleeve under uniforms crap, I won’t set myself up with that issue in the first place” I think Elko will quickly root out Denver Harris type trouble, maybe not even recruit them. One UT “insider” (Hamilton) warned that if UT got Denver they would have to keep his boys away, too close geographically. Went so far as to say Harris needed to be far from Texas to do his best. Reprogrammed without friends to act out for getting in the way of his career type thing.

    ATM also will not have to fear next years game with UT bringing a new start over team on the field. (I know this is probably not a fear for you, but with the rigid Aggies I have as friends it was definitely a consideration. No doubt in my mind) The schedule I have seen looks very doable for ATM as well, so starting over could be like 5-7 which hits home. Don’t need to suffer through that with Elko. Then after 3 years make a deep assessment.

    Congrats. If Florida State beats Louisville, then you have to put them in the CFP. Sadly, it will be at Texas' expense but I can't complain because FSU will have earned it.
    Thank you brother. Down 0-12 in the swamp. Norvell isn't GOAT but keeps winning these close classics.




    Losing in the 4th Quarter. Seminoles storm back. Let's finish the job Saturday.

    Ohio State also beat Penn State.

    I don't see Texas or Bama leap frogging into the Final Four.
    Would love to see some upsets this weekend to make it possible.

    The 1 Loss arguements are gonna be epic.

    !2 team playoffs can't come soon enough imo.

    On the committee list head same record

    Won conference championship Bama and UT wins out over NOT playing.
    By the conference committee rules.
    They would have to violate their own rules to let OSU in if UT or Bama or both win their conference championships.
    Ohio State will be sitting at home.

    If not you incentivize not playing in your conference championship. Sitting at home and not playing.
    If Bama or UT or both win by rules they leapfrog OSU in the CFP standings when and if this becomes true.

    What would be interesting is a record difference. Michigan loses to Iowa and Michigan and Ohio State were theoretically in a battle for the 4th spot. This would be interesting as there is only a week between games.

    This will be funny because the Committee says these problems will all go way with 12 teams, some from the same conferences of course. The 12 team system makes it more likely to have problems for the last spots. Even with byes for top teams it still involves the choosing of teams to qualify for a National Championship playoff chance.

    Should be fun. Feelings will get hurt.

    fsu has earned nothing........they play in the worst conference in collegiate football.........they trailed 14 0 to an fcs school they shouldve loss to a turrbile boston college team.........their best wins r against 4 loss schools........if the committee puts in oregon or fsu over texas they r sending a message that out of conference games dont matter..........the texas ad should immediately cancel all future upcoming ooc games against osu & michigan & replace them with uab to send a message to the ncaa
