Scenario. There are only so many spots.

Pitt needs to win tomorrow. Also need Ohio st to win. Would help significantly if Alabama or Oregon lost too. Or any big 12 team.

In the most recent 4% of chance we don’t get in predictors. Texas winning was 1 small part of it. So the odds of us not getting in now are higher statistically. Those percentages are permutations of all possible wins and losses. So they are very real possibilities just like the other 90+% options that have us getting in.

If Texas gets in, there has to be some rules about scheduling. SEC schedules are much deeper and challenging than anybody else’s. Others need to keep up to make this more even.

The best non P4 team is getting obliterated by the other teams. Navy stil having a chance is ridiculous. U can’t have the best teams and auto bids of less deserving to make people happy. Multiple big 12 teams seems wrong as well. The 2nd and 3rd choice there aren’t competing with the big dogs.

Ultimately, our losing 2 games is always going to make us very dependent on scenarios that will effect our getting left out.
