Everyone is putting so much emphasis on a week 2 win when Bama had a QB controversy. Why would any teams ever schedule a big out of conference matchup?
I’ve argued for and against a lot of teams. I wouldn’t want to be on the committee. They are wrong either way.
The Big 12 is the 4th ranked out of the 5 Power 5. The ACC is the only one that’s worse.
The main question is do they want the best 4 teams in or not.
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.
