Yeah, it's fun to speculate, which is why we do it.  We all have our personal preferences understand that the committee may well act differently.  One theory is they are affected by ESPN and TV ratings, in which case of course Texas would win over Oregon/FSU/most anybody else.

If TV ratings are a dominant consideration, we'd have Texas/Michigan/Alabama and then whoever.

I don't think they do personally.  I bet the topic never comes up in discussions at least.

Nah, I’ve never bought into that.

Anyway, we'll know the game outcomes within about 40 hours.  

And then, the magic happens... :86:

Speaking of conspiracy theories, any way the Big 12 refs ensure a Texas L this weekend? Asking for a friend.

Well, the last time Texas played OkState, last year, they did it all sorts of ways.  Take a look at the penalty stat line.  And then take your pick.

Yeah uh-huh okay.

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

fwiw, imo, texas should be first of the 1-loss teams in.

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.


imo, if it was fsu alone as the 5th contender, i could buy this. but you'll have wash/oregon, bama, mich, texas, and fsu. 1 of those are not getting in already. uga needs to either win, or hope 2 of fsu/mich/texas lose. jmo.

right? exciting couple days.

after all this hubbub, we're probably gonna end up with the most chalk scenario possible. mich, uga, wash, fsu all win, bama and texas lose.

David Pollack claims he talks to committee members and there's zero chance they leave out an undefeated FSU.  Guess we'll see.  Disagree that beating Louisville is "nothing" now that the 'Ville lost to Kentucky.  They're still a 10-2 team. 

I don't really care.  I just want Bo Nix to suck tonight, preferably lose, so the idgit voters will stop trying to hand him the Heisman.

Heck, I could claim I talk to the members.  And he probably does talk with them, and they should in no way reveal to him their preferences beyond what is public.

And I think a 13-0 P5 team will be included no matter what, unless there are five of them.

Somehow I've turned into a Texas-stumping Longhorn shill, as evidenced by this thread.  This is the last season I relinquish TV rights to my wife.
