I think the whole "student athlete" gimmick has run its course. Just let them play and stop pretending that the majority of them are there to go to school.

Not necessarily, there have been more than one instance where a 1 loss Big 12 Champion don't get in.

That was before the Big XII True Championship game.

Heard an interesting stat tonight.  Since 2015, Alabama, Clemson, tOSU, and OU have all won over 90 percent of their conference games, with an average margin of over 20 pts per game.   The Buckeyes have the largest margin of victory at over 28 ppg.   Bama was a little over 24 ppg.   OU had the lowest at just over 20.  Cant remember Clemson’s but it was somewhere between Bama and tOSUs.

They still need teams to lose.  

SEC Champ, Clemson, Ohio St, Notre Dame, and probably Michigan if they win the Big Ten with 1 loss all get in before Texas.  Your conference rematch game doesn’t hold as much weight as you think.

You always know you stand on good ground when the Mack is yapping against you.  I just hope he’s been able to find the baseball playoffs he loves so much since they were on that channel that no one has heard of or could find.  And by no one, only him

“Controls their own destiny” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

That’s because they are out.  At least when they played in the World Series last year (I’m told that’s the “super bowl” of that sport), they made it on FS1. Maybe one day baseball will be popular enough to make the SEC Network (insert laugh/cry emoji).

If Texas wins out, they have won another Championship, with no team except the weekly opponents having to lose!!

I agree, they do need help even IF they win out. But they getting some from Purdue right now. Never know.

If they win out, the committee will find a way to get them in.  The powers that be want Texas to be back so badly.   The winning out is the problem.   Realistically, this team winning 10 games is over achieving.
