(With one of the non-shitty FBS games being vs Middle Tennessee.) Does anybody seriously doubt that Oregon would have done vastly better vs all 5 of their opponents? Has there ever been a playoff team that’s done this shitty in 5 different games? Can anybody explain why people think this Alabama team should vault past us if they beat Georgia 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Also there is an argument being made about Texas being superior to Oregon both 11-1, which is interesting too. Texas beat Texas Tech 57-7, and a direct comparison is Oregon beat TT 38-30. The problem with this analysis is Texas was playing at home, Oregon traveled 1,700 miles to play in a hostile environment. We played against their starting qb, higher ratings, they played against the backup qb. Will the voters put Texas ahead of Oregon if they beat Oklahoma State?

I am so sick of hearing about that. Not only is it Texas Tech now probably the single most injured team in the nation, but that was Oregon’s sole close game, to 3 close games for Texas. Texas has a 7 point win over Houston, 3 point win over TCU and a 1 point OT win over KSU. There’s a reason why we were only favored by something like 4 points against Texas Tech in the first place (on top of people not realizing how good we’d end up being)- it’s because we basically played an entirely different Texas Tech team than Texas did. If the committee was going to use that BS reason to move us behind Texas, they would have done so this week. The reason why the committee might move is behind Texas next week is because they beat Alabama, and the committee might (completely unjustifiably) move us behind Alabama if they beat UGA.
