Week 14 (Non-UConn)

Texas wins aren't better? Texas has two wins against teams in the playoff: A&M and Oklahoma.

What is Notre Dame's best win? ND has U$C and Pitt? Vandy is better than those teams giving Texas 3 better wins than anything ND did.

Oklahoma is terrible. Maybe terrible is too strong of a word, but Bama handed them a game with turnovers, and the officials handed them the Auburn game. The team they had out there against LSU today looked like a trashbag of a team. Texas is better than them and should have beaten them as they did. That Florida loss is bad though, should almost count as two losses. I like what Texas has, but 3 losses is 3 losses.

Oklahoma has no offense. But they have to count as a quality win as they are a certain playoff team and only one loss (Texas).

Texas was just the unfortunate team (at a point in the season when they had no offense) to catch Florida in that one game they actually played close to their talent.

I have no great argument FOR Texas being added (and 3 losses is 3 losses). They just have better resumes than either Notre Dame or Miami (or most teams, frankly and I'm not a big believer in Texas).

It should be Miami because they beat Notre Dame.

Then BYU beats Texas Tech next week and none of this matters.

In retrospect, that Florida loss was the perfect storm for Texas. Florida had not yet really folded up for the season, they were at home, and Manning could seemingly do nothing right. Texas definitely looks far better today than they did then.

Cal 38 SMU 35 42 seconds left

California drives 75 yards quickly for the go ahead TD. Let's see if their weak defense can hold SMU without a score. If they can, then Duke will be in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte.

I would love it if Cal holds on.

Later Edit: SMU is at Cal's 40 yard line with 15 seconds left and no timeouts.

Duke to the ACC title game... there is every risk that the ACC falls out of the playoff, unless Miami moved up enough to get an at large. A Duke upset may leave the Blue Devils behind both James Madison & the AAC champs.

No way that committee is going to put Miami in. They should be in, but that would mean kicking out an SEC team or ND, and they just aren't going to do that.
