Resumes if Oregon, Texas, and Bama win

Bama: 3 top 15 wins, 1 loss to a one-loss team
Georgia: 2 top 15 wins, 1 loss to a one-loss team
Oregon: 1 top 15 win, 1 loss to a one-loss team.
Washington: 1 top 15 win, 1 loss to a one-loss team.
Texas: 1 top 15 win, 1 loss to a two-loss team
(“top 15 win” = win over any opponent currently ranked in top 15 in either the CFP rankings, AP poll, or coaches poll)
So Texas is tied for the least amount of top 15 wins and has the worst lost, but they MUST get in? And they MUST get in because their loss to a two-loss team shouldn’t hurt as much as Bama’s loss to a one-loss team? Bama’s loss outweighs both Texas’ worst loss and the fact Bama has more top 15 wins? LOL

First tie breaker is H2H. Bottom line. A two-score road win trumps any other variable. It's not like UT beat UA at home with a fluky play.

Texas should be in.
I do not understand why they are not

You say head to head is cherry picking and proceed to cherry pick arbitrary points like top 15

In your scenario, these 2 would not be conference champions. As long as there are only 4 teams, you should reward 1st record, conference title, head-to-head and then strength of schedule when you are comparing P5 teams.

I know everyone keeps saying this, but if they could only play and figure out who would win the head to head.
We’ll even give Bama an advantage and play it in Tuscaloosa.

You couldn't just bump your old thread or were you having attention withdrawals?

this is the definition of cherry picking stats to justify a stupid point.

Who was it Bama lost to again?

Wow those resumes are impressive. It’s just such a shame that we have to do these abstract analyses because these teams didn’t play each other in the regular season. Really unfortunate that we don’t have any concrete results on the field that might help us figure this out. Tough break.

Every response should be insulting this man. Shame on you msb

Who did Bama lose to and where was that game played? What was the margin of defeat?

Fify...
So forgot all that other nonsense, it doesn't matter.

Funny how you seemed to have left out context to fit your narrative.
First off, Texas beat Bama H2H in Tuscaloosa and pretty well controlled that game. That single point is most important in comparing the two.
Texas’s “worse loss” was to their greatest rival in a closely contested neutral site game where OU was losing until the last 15 seconds.
Now you’ll spin to say “why does rival matter” as if Bama didn’t just need a last second miracle to beat their own rival who has 6 losses.

Bama is not going to the playoffs

Cool chart. When UGA wins the SECCG it will be a huge waste of your time

Texas is better than Bama, we already know this. We saw it in Week 2, we saw it in Week 13.
