you realize sagarin has oregon ranked above texas, right? so even despite the schedule difference, sagarin thinks it's close enough to rank oregon higher. or his formula does anyway. that's all i'm saying. it's close enough that other things matter as well.
Yeah uh-huh okay.

Anyway, good luck to your team on Saturday. Should be an entertaining game.

Ha!

FearlessCD is stirring the pot.

Texas would certainly draw more eyeballs than Oregon.

Glad to see someone picked up the slack while I was working

Oregon v. Texas is a good debate. My gut is the committee would just slot in the Oregon/Washington winner as if they were one and the same.

A thieving 2nd shot employed by duffers to prove the 1st one was no fluke !!!

If Bama beats Georgia then the Dawgs are out,Can't leave the 'Horns out with Bama in unless they lose to the Pokes.Wouldn't bother me but the Texicans are said to be thinned skinned and sensitive.

If UGA loses, they should be out of the discussion IMHO.  If every other favorite wins, I'd have the 3 UNDs and Texas personally.
If UGA loses, they're still in.
Bama would be in, UGA would be in, UM, and UW/UO winner.

Yes, even at the expense of an undefeated FSU.
A - they suck w/o J.Travis
B - beating Louisville is a big WHO CARES now, since they lost to UK.

The 2-time defending NCs with a 12-1 record won't be omitted.

Could certainly happen, but it would be the first time ever the committee has put in a non-champ over a champ, when they had the same record.  And it would look especially questionable given Texas H2H win over the same Alabama team that just knocked off the non-champ Georgia Bulldogs.

I'm just saying what would happen, not what should happen or that it would be 'right'.

It would break an entire decade of tendencies, but sure, it could still happen.

We haven't had a 2-time defending champ on the bubble in the playoff era yet.  So it's a novel situation.  
I have no faith in the playoff committee treating this season in isolation.  
.
Considering 2014-now, Texas is a 'Johnny-come-lately' and Georgia is royalty.  Shouldn't matter, but probably would.

I see the argument for leaving FSU out, but man, leaving out an undefeated conference champ - I just don't see it happening.

"We" here are trying to guess what the committee might do.  I'd be surprised if a 12-1 UGA is included over a13-0 FSU.  No need to speculate, for me anyway, I'll just wait and see what happens in a few days.  Hopefully it's not at issue.

I think any P5 undefeated should be in (barring eligibility issues).  It could be fun to speculate about Upsets happening around the globe and the mayhem that could ensue.

I think if things break right the committee could have its toughest job yet.

A lot of interesting things could be debated.

-H2H wins 
-An undefeated P5 champion that looks vulnerable 
-A 2 time defending champion being left out after being #1 all season.
-Two teams splitting meetings, with identical records, but one has a better resume but not the conference championship.

I’m here for all of it.
