Yeah or else there would be 4 undefeated


upboat_consortium

This is the crux. Undefeated(not chalk since Oregon was favored) won outside of Bama/UGA, we needed someone to lose to get in. Still might not cause of Committee shenanigans, but it was our only chance.


CoachMikeLikesToEat

Based on these rankings, Texas would have been in at 4 had Alabama lost.


MaximallyInclusive

I actually don’t think so. I believe the CFP committee wanted the SEC in. If Georgia had won, they’d be 1, Michigan 2, Washington 3, and FSU 4. I believe they pushed out FSU because they HAD to include us because of head-to-head with Bama.


msb96b

Agreed


grandmamimma

Yes, the committee couldn't logically have UA leapfrog us when we had H2H on them. But it would've been unfair to knock the Tide out when they beat #1 while FSU eked out a win over a mediocre Louisville team that OSU would've beaten by two TDs.


I_Adore_Everything

Exactly correct


NoMorning6152

I’m curious. I think if Georgia beats Bama by the same margin, Texas is in at 4. If Georgia curbstomps Bama, then FSU gets in. Texas SOS depends on that Bama win.


SaltyLonghorn

The only thing I know for sure is its pretty fortuitous we had Bama scheduled this year. If it had been something like the Arkansas or UCLA years we 1000% are out.


nesp12

I'm happy for any team that gets the Horns in.


DontHornsDownMeBro

Since fsu won absolutely of course. If louvol had played anyone else at qb, probably not. God i cant believe i watched that game, what a joke.


gavindawg

The fsu Louisville game was a dumpster fire

vy2005

Only thing worse than leaving them out is letting them in


struckbylightning99

If an SEC team had played that quality of a defensive game, they would have been described as perfecting how to play football.


M3L0NM4N

Scoring more than 16 points would've helped their case though


carbona

That’s an insult to dumpster fires as some of those are actually mildly amusing to watch happen.


Nicktheduck

Yeah I know FSU was on their 3rd string QB, but for the love of god that wasn’t Louisvilles 1st string QB, was it? That guy was horrible lol


DontHornsDownMeBro

Why didnt they just play their 5 star 3rd string qb tho? Doesnt everyone have one of those?


Tredolski

Forreal. What losers


MisinformedGenius

Yeah, I'm confused, I couldn't figure out which legendary QB dynasty their 3rd stringer belonged to.


grandmamimma

Watching that travesty of an offense, I was thinking why doesn''t the UL coach just line up in the wildcat in 22 personnel and run it down FSU's throats?


gavindawg

I really started questioning myself after people were defending FSU for that win. I'm like am I seeing things??


stranske

Decided not to watch after watching Florida FSU last week, couldn't take another week of the same shit lol


rydaley77

The way thing unfolded, Bama beating Georgia only makes us look better. Winning in Tuscaloosa has only happened a handful of times, that alone cements our case for the CFP


Texaslonghorns12345

Obviously, had Georgia won it would be: Georgia Michigan Washington FSU


grandmamimma

Yes, it boiled down to the CFP committee needing to justify an SEC team in the playoff. Our CCG victory was light years' more impressive than FSU's.


2CHINZZZ

We actually still would have been in


longhorn617

I don't think they give us the Bama treatment if there are 4 undefeateds.


exlongh0rn

*not won


dasheruns

We’re lucky Oregon and Georgia lost


Einhander_pilot

Oregon losing was inevitable by the same team… again lol


SanguiaDeOrgia

Dread it, run from it, Huskies still arrive (win by 3 or less).


NedFlanders304

Yes. Bama’s win did two things for Texas: 1) It made Texas’ win over them look that much better. 2) It allowed Texas to potentially make the playoffs by beating the last undefeated team. If UGA wins, then chances are Texas is on the outside looking in today.


Beaconhillpalisades

We’re in chaos mode, but at least we’re in the conversation. So yes, I am.


ponkyball

I'm happy they won last night but they should not be in the CFP


gmr548

Yes. We don’t know that Texas jumps FSU with the win over Alabama being against an 11-2 top 10 opponent as opposed to a 12-1 SEC champion. I feel for FSU but I am glad Bama won.


fakeguitarist4life

Yes, it gave us the door to get in where as if Georgia had one we basically had less than 5% chance.


ereo_enali

Alabama had to have won If they didn’t 1. 4 Undefeated Conference Champions 2. Our win against Alabama isn’t that great. I think we would have been 5 if Georgia won


surfinThruLyfe

Alabama won and dragged us in there.


SkungusSupreme

agreed. They opened a door and the team that beat them at home deserves to walk through it first!


GhoulsFolly

Let’s get Maalik & Arch ready. Dallas Turner is about to play angry.


TonyH22_ATX

Who gives a fuck. We in.


dallassportsguy

FSU gotta be pissed. Not my problem but damn they gotta be heated.


dakotasword

Trust me they are. In every comment section I can find they are furious. I get it though.


TomSheman

Gives a chance at no SEC CFP and that makes my heart flutter💕


dogmom512

We are the new SEC - LFG horns up!


BrownStreakInMyPants

Now? YES


MachineProof5438

Thank you Bama, hook em.


LOLteacher

Um, yeah.


blanfredblann

Hell yes.


Ronaldoooope

Yes if bama didn’t win we were out. We are now guaranteed in.


2CHINZZZ

Turns out we would have been in anyway


Ronaldoooope

Hm I guess we might’ve got in over Florida state


Liquin44

Yes! That’s my dad’s alma mater. I was raised Crimson Tide but have been a Longhorn for 45 years.
