Oregon so good they lost to Washington twice!
Well 3X in the last two seasons and all by 3 pts but whose counting.
Picked a hell of a night to nod off & miss a good row about playoff placement. While no Power Five team has ever gone unbeaten, won its conference title and failed to make the playoff. I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount the 'Noles w/o Jordan Travis wouldn't beat the Huskies,Walvies, Horns or Tide. It would set a precedent to keep them out.The only other valid argument is L'ville is the only other ACC team in the top 15,so SoS factoring in.Back in 2014 when tOSU went thru 3 starting QBs many were clamoring for 11-1 Baylor to get in over them. But Sparty upended them 42-41 in the Cotton Bowl and tOSU beat MSU by 12pts during the the season,so chaos and a slippery slope. BUT.....

I saw thiss just now.  Jerry Palm on CBS:

The SEC has sent at least one team to every playoff since the event's inception; however that is trivia, not criteria. 
I like it

I'm through with the topic.  If the CFP's own website doesn't convince you, then I won't, either.
Let FSU in.

Well, at least the regular season would matter. I've heard some people say that is important.

Man, all I can say is, no Texas fan can take a conference championship for granted.  That was a really important win and an important honor for the team.  At the beginning of the season I thought the Horns were more of a 9-3 type team, and there were a couple of games that Texas barely squeaked out, else it could have been a 9-3 season.  But this team game together with grit and determination in a way that I haven't seen from a Longhorn squad since 2009.  It was a hell of a fun season to be a Longhorn fan.

I'm delighted with the conference championship, and consider anything else this season to be icing on the cake.  It would be painful to be so close to making the CFP and then not get in, but that's out of the team's hands.  They've now done everything they can, on the field, and we'll just have to see what happens.

Yesterday's blowout win over an Oklahoma State team that has owned us for the past decade+, was enjoyable and more than a little cathartic.  It's a nice way to move on to the next chapter.

Hook 'em Horns!

Texas over Michigan in the Rose (sounds familiar, minus VY)

Bama over Washington in the Sugar

Bama over Texas in Houston.

It's what Bama does.

That would be a heck of a series of games.  

Do they announce the CFP and bowls today, or is that later in the week?  It's been so long since it mattered to Texas, I really have no idea how this works anymore.
