Unless something changes, this showing with 3 losses should get them booted. The hell with it being a conference championship game.


Don't think it will though. BYU was not in the CFP based on penultimate rankings.

I don't think the committee wants to set a precedent of teams losing their CFP spot due to playing and losing a conference champ. game.

I could see them moving to 10.

Fair, but either the entire season matters or it doesn't. If it does, Bama must be held accountable for losing to a less than mediocre FSU team and (result pending), a third loss. It can't be both ways.

Booting Bama solves the ND/Miami issue. Both can be in. And committee can save face and keep ND ranked above Miami to avoid a rematch.
seriously unrealistic.


The committee has said they wont punish a team for a loss in a ccg, unless its a blowout

But this committee is a steaming pile of ***** They say they won't punish teams that are "in" if they lose a CCG but they also said they would reward SOR this year and yet we are the lowest rated 1-loss team even though we have the highest SOR.

No punishment for a CCG on a neutral field, but severe punishment for losing a road rivalry game against a borderline playoff team. Makes sense.

Bama with that cover zero gimmick on 3rd and 6 then backs out 4 guys at the snap. Those guys were backpedaling so fast, all you have to do is have your TE turn around take the dump off, and scamper for the first down.

I'm not even blocking there. Send one guy straight down the seam in case they're coming, and one guy stays at the LOS.

Bama has a loss to a bad FSU. Unlikely they are left out, and if they do make it with 3 losses (one bad) then tu will really cry that they are left out hahaha

I just don't think a 3 loss sec runner-up gets left out. this is where the SEC clout comes into play

At the end of the day, feels like this year's seeding won't be much better than last year.

There's only 1 year of precedence to defend this statement.

#2 Texas dropped to #3 with a 22-19 loss to Georgia (#5 to #2) - getting the 5 seed do to Conference Champions guaranteed 1st round byes which does not exist this year.

#3 Penn State dropped to #4 with a 45-37 loss to Oregon (#1) - getting the 6 seed.

#8 SMU dropped to #10 with with a 34-31 loss to Clemson (#17 to #16) - getting the 11 seed.

Hell, #16 Iowa State only dropped to #18 after getting blown-out 45-19 by Arizona State (#15 to #12 - getting the 4 seed).

This game is going about how I expected. Bama's been figured out.

Still time for them to get back in the game but they're getting manhandled right now.

Is it truly a neutral site? Georgia played there last week, after all.

While we're on the subject, someone remind me exactly who Texas Tech has beaten? BYU's last 5 recruiting classes have averaged around 60, with the most recent one an impressive 20. Putting a Big 12 team at the top of the one loss teams is a joke. Our 3rd best win (at Mizzou) is a better win than anything Tech has done.

They had an incredibly difficult non conf schedule. Sam Houston said it was tough to beat Oregon St.

I think tech is a top 15 team playing in a week conference

Imo it's Ohio State and about 14 teams that are all pretty close to each other

That lead blocker(#0) on the 4th down did an outstanding job. Pushed the first defender out of the way and then blocked the second defender.

They're trying to leave Bama in the playoff. Kirby got the memo. It to be aggressive there and to leave it at a 2 score game going into half.

And speaking of that, had he gotten his knee blown out and Bama ends up getting blown out, does the committee give Bama the FSU treatment from a few years ago?

Have to look at their OOC and their Opp's OOC -- ALL of which is pretty weak.

Bolded = Loss

Tech: Arkansas-Pine Bluff (FCS), Kent State (5-7), Oregon State (2-10)
BYU: Portland State, Standford, @ East Carolina
Utah: @ UCLA (3-9), Cal Poly (FCS), @ Wyoming (4-8)
Houston: SF Austin (FCS), @ Rice (5-7), @ Oregon State (2-10)
Arizona State: N. Arizona (FCS), @ Mississippi (5-7), Texas State (6-6)

Tech did not play 9-3 Arizona, 8-4 TCU, 8-4 Iowa State, and 7-5 Cincinnati.

This is reality. If Mizzou is the 3rd best win, that = weak schedule.

Don't challenge the committee. Worst they fall is to #10 with a loss. A blow out maybe a different story
