Do you see Ohio State falling below Texas in the rankings? If so, then a Bama or Louisville win (both likely) would mean Texas is back in, right? If Texas wins they should jump Ohio St simply because they are idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas historically has benefited from them. However, the Big 12 wasn’t going to do them favors . I bet they’re rooting for their only chance to get into the playoffs. Good thing the playoffs were expanding cause without 0u and Tex , they don’t have a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree but Alabama probably a hurdle but the horns won. FSU losing is probably the most realistic chance at #4. What is interesting is Texas is a very big market and ratings matter. If the committee really wants $$$ then 1. Michigan 2. Georgia 3. Texas. 4. FSU If they going by four best it’s 1. Much ( assuming they beat Iowa 2. Georgia/Bama winner 3. Texas ( assuming they win) 4. Oregon/ Washington winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the ref intentionally bumped into Strong only to throw a flag against Strong? What about the Oklahoma State game(s)? Trust me, there are more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What then about A&M? I might do the research at a later date, but I would be interested how officiating/penalties changed after the announcement to change conferences.

We got the short end of several calls that year. I remember specifically. And Nebraska did the year before when they left. A&M benefited from playing them in 2010 on calls. Im not saying it SHOULD happen, but it’s been happening for ages. Heck I remember a game on a Thursday where Miami played Louisville as Miami was leaving the Big East and Louisville was joining. And the officiating was BAD in favor of Louisville lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know they’re devastated their two biggest programs and one gave them clout Oklahoma ( playoffs) were leaving. We knew it was going to happen. That's not the issue. The issue is how blatantly obvious it has been. The comments from the Commissioner and his staff, the ridiculous discrepancies in penalties, and if you watch the games, the clear negative impact the officials have on any Texas (and OU for that matter) game. That's what insane to me. I knew that we wouldn't get calls our way here and there and that some teams will be vocal about hating us, but this year has been on another level of sabotage. They were successful with sabotaging OU, but Texas has escaped so far. Saturday will be the final test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
