It’s real in the sense that they’ve demonstrated they can be that good. I think if the mandate was to pick a field with the 12 “best teams” most likely to produce close and interesting games against each other they’d clearly be in.
Completely agree on the first point, but not the latter. Texas is such a big brand coupled with the Manning factor and ending the season with a 10-point win over an undefeated, top 3 team … I believe the committee would be a prisoner of the moment and throw them in.
That's true. even with a loss to Florida, a 2 loss Texas team with a win over Oklahoma and A&M would be in. I think I'm probably a bit carried away after hearing they are deserving as a 3 loss team and could potentially bump us.
to be fair, there was really no way Michigan should have won last year either.
True, but like I said, I'm interested to see if that playoff run and finally getting over the hump sort of frees up Day and OSU against Michigan.
A. If Miami win not a close one makes it interesting. We demolished Pitt and it like other games left double digit points on the field.
Of course, but facts get in the way of Sark’s whining.
With OT wins against the might Kentucky Wildcats and Miss St Bulldogs. F Sark. He sucks.
But they did lose to Florida and it wasn’t a fluke result. With a lame duck coach to boot. Sorry that’s a deal breaker. ND did. It allow themselves to accrue that third loss to a 3 win team. Our wins are convincing and our two losses can be viewed as should have won and if played now we would. No one thinks Texas would avenge their losses to Ohio State or GA. Texas has been inconsistent all season. and has played dominating ball every game in their 10 wins. I’m counting on tonight being another convincing win. Marcus et al need to get the boys fired up. Playoff game number 1 tonight.
