This would be a little rude to an undefeated team 

[If this is subscriber only, ESPN projects 1) Michigan 2) Wash 3) UT 4) Bama 5) UGA 6) FSU]

Texas’s best argument is they won a trash conference and lost against the only decent team in the conference.  They did beat Bama in week 2 who was going through a QB controversy. 
 

I could argue the same for all the 7 teams.  This is the first year that the playoff didn’t work itself out.  A few teams are getting screwed. 

 Incorrect.  This is their best argument 

Bama is playing way better. I was super impressed with them winning on a P for K against the powerhouse Auburn team that got boat raced by a team that was FCS a couple of years ago the week before.  And you do realize Georgia’s best win is also FSU’s best win? Texas also did what none of you SEC chumps could do.  Win in Tuscaloosa (by 2 scores no less).  But, but it was week 2 is the weak argument of someone who hangs banners for being undefeated against Abilene Christian and Texas State the last few years….

I’m just naming teams better than FSU.  I could name a bunch, but probably not one that lost to South Alabama by 4 scores 

Gotcha.  I don’t disagree with that. And my guess is FSU probably gets left out.

Your someone that knows someone doesn’t know anything.  A lot of stuff going down between now and noon tomorrow.  

And aren’t you the one still talking about Ohio State?  Talk about someone who doesn’t know anything 😂🤣

we shall see.  But I’m willing to be a large sum of money on two things. Georgia is out and Texas is in.  Not “pay another awful hire NOT to coach” amount of money but an amount you wouldn’t be willing to risk 😂😂

You know somebody in the discussions?  Just curious where you’re getting this with such confidence.  

Let’s just say I know someone who knows someone.  That’s my information. I trust it but I wouldn’t bet my life on it.

Who is the 3rd?  

1 Michigan

2 Washington 

B3 Texas.  
 

my belief is that part is done.  Not saying it’s right or wrong but it’s what is coming.

Will they choose the four best ... or most deserving? "It is best," CFP executive director Bill Hancock said on Tuesday. "Most deserving is not anything in the committee's lexicon. They are to rank the best teams in order, and that's what they do. Just keep that word in mind, best teams."
 

based on this statement (which we all know the committee plays by no rules and does whatever the heck they want), FSU is out.  But also based on that statement, Georgia should probably be in.  I can see them using this standard to leave FSU out, but not to put Georgia in.  only one SEC team makes it, and Bama won the SEC by beating Georgia.  You can’t put Georgia in after Bama just beat them, but I don’t see them leaving the best conference out of the playoffs when they have two 1-loss teams with those losses being to two teams in the playoff discussion.  

Georgia isn’t even in the discussion.  There’s a reason you can get 12 to 1 on them still getting in. Because it ain’t happening. 

Guys, it’s between FSU and Bama for the last spot. That’s the discussion in Grapevine right now.  And that’s not me saying it’s right or wrong.  But I believe that’s the reality.

Washington would gash Texas’ secondary. That’s by far the worst matchup for the Horns

I would put them as the 1 seed but they will be 2.

Florida State has 1 yard total offense. Louisville has 11.

Wow!  Did they both hire Ferentz’s kid??

I had to watch the Horns, as well.  Just hope that SEC bias doesn’t rear its head one more time.

I couldn't miss it either... We need Florida St. to lose tonight and we will get in the playoffs.  Right now it's still 0-0 in the 2nd.

Word I’m getting is barring Iowa getting 6 safeties and beating Michigan, 1-3 is already set (Michigan, Washington and Texas in that order).  4 is Bama or FSU.  Bama for sure if FSU loses obviously. 

And I will say though that we are greatly enjoying the eldest Connell in Orangefield.  I sat behind the bench recently during a varsity game.  He’s gonna be a really good one. But he needs to stay with boys basketball anyway.  He will keep that nice head of hair longer.  (I promise that wasn’t a dig on you Manny!)

I couldn’t miss the Longhorns game today, otherwise I would have loved to have had some chicken fingers and watched some hoops with my guy @BS Wildcats

Bump 😉😂

Word is 4th seed will be either Bama or FSU.  Could be Bama in any event but need Noles to lose to make it for sure.  Michigan, Washington, and Texas penned in 1-3.  Georgia is out.  They lost their only really tough game of the year.  Their schedule strength is lower than anyone’s left. Buh bye.

Michigan, Washington, Texas, Alabama. 

A lot of experts agree with you, especially if FSU loses.  In that order.  Apparently, Alabama may be needing to root hard for Louisville more than anyone. 
 

and I gotta say, SEC may be a bit overrated this year.  New Mexico State certainly thinks so.

Now if bama win s and fl st somehow wins.   Who’s left out?

That win may be worse for Florida state

35-14 Texas! Hope this doesn’t turn out to be a typical Okie Lite game. 
 

Does a Georgia loss put Texas if we win this game?

Possibly.  But a FSU loss does for sure.  Imo.

Kelly is pretty bad right now.  I understand there was an incident at this game.  Any of the Orangefield guys on here care to comment?

Don’t leave us hanging - details?

Surprised Ohio State only fell to 6. A Big 12 champ Texas definitely jumps them as well as the PAC 12 loser. Should be a very fun weekend. 

Yeah Ohio state needs a lot to happen in order to get in.  FSU and Texas both lose, and Georgia wins, they have a shot.  Especially if Washington wins.  They aren’t getting in over Oregon or Texas if they both win. Big 10 is hot garbage anyway.  Talk about top heavy.

Honestly, though… a good hire here could turn the program around. Look at what Chief Joseph has done at PNG. There aren’t very many of those guys around, but it would be nice to see somebody come in, make great strides, and last more than two years. 

You guys will be making a very good hire for all sports.  He’s a very good football coach.  He might be the best AD in southeast Texas.

Everything about BC is better than Orangefield.  This job, too. 

That’s why you moved out of there…. I completely disagree.  And am just as bad as you since I live in BCISD.

Lamar beats Delaware State in OT today 84-81

 Nice to finish 2-1.  But I thought that game was a step back.  That was a team playing 3 guards 30 plus minutes at the end of a 3 games in 3 days stretch.  Should have honestly beaten them by 20+ and were lucky to escape with a win.  Still, I will take a bad win over a good loss.
