Since I can't seem to post correctly on this site, I'll give a more serious answer.

The consensus seems to be it depends on what happens against Bama and LSU. If Venerables can keep it respectable he gets to pick a new OC and has a year to get better.

If he's blown out in either or both he will be gone.

Texas has played one top 25 team, which it lost. It has only beaten two teams that have a winning record: 6-4 Vanderbilt and 6-3 Colorado St

UGA has played three teams currently in the top 10, all on the road. They played another game against Clemson at a neutral site. They will play top 10 Tennessee this weekend, albeit at UGA.

And tonight Texas will be ranked above UGA

We should cancel the rest of the season and cancel the playoffs while oklahoma takes a little time to retool the offense.

MOGA!
This makes the most sense. It’s the christian thing to do.

would love to see him succeed. Football is good when OU is good.

I realize these early rankings are mainly for TV ratings and to get people talking but it feels like SOS hasn't weighed too heavy in their decision.

The old BCS makes a lot more sense. Since the humans have no specific criteria it's time to kick them the fuck out. Having the 5th highest rated conference champion as an auto qualifier is the dumbest shit ever.

BCS Rankings as of today-

Nov. 11 BCS Rankings:
1. Oregon - 0.9840
2. Ohio State - 0.9524
3. Texas - 0.8730
4. Penn State - 0.8131
5. Indiana - 0.7860
6. Tennessee - 0.7357
7. BYU - 0.7226
8. Notre Dame - 0.7218
9. Alabama - 0.7021
10. Georgia - 0.6570
11. Ole Miss - 0.6283
12. Miami - 0.6018

If you guys continue to win Georgia will be in. Fuck using the BCS and I'm pretty sure it had A&M in the field in 2020. Still, fuck that.

I swear the committee does this shit to drum up drama and then it normally corrects itself at the end. And now the duck poster has a legitimate point lol. Let the season play out. Beck better step up. Those wrs better step up and that secondary better wake up.

I saw where shows on ESPN were ripping the committee for several of the rankings. Most noticeably Georgia but also how high Indiana, Penn St and even the whorns were.

Here's the ironic part and kinda what I was getting at earlier.. The playoff is ESPN's baby and now they have plenty to talk about. It would be concerning if this was out of the norm but it isn't. It's all noise rn.

100% and I acknowledged it's for ratings in my OP. When they first started the 4 team some of the early rankings were absurd. Even though they'll largely get it correct I still would appreciate some transparency in their criteria like the NCAA tournament does.

Imagine a scenario where Bama as a 10-2 team loses in the SECCG. Sankey is going to lose his shit. 😂 More reason to scrap these dumb conference championship games.

BTW, I've been saying for years to let the BCS system make the call every since I saw how dumb these committees are.

I might be down for some kind of a combination but not just the old system as a whole. There's some really good metric systems to use.

Yup. They made sense when you had two teams playing in the national championship and everyone was just assigned a random bowl game, but with the playoff system they don't anymore.

OU followed the whorns and got the real schedule. Funny how that didn't work both ways.
It is very suspect how the SEC set them up for such success their first two years in the league. Georgia is basically running back this years schedule verbatim next season.

I have a little more patience than most. I say keep BV for one more season even if we lose to lsu and Bama both. But huge moves need to be made with the offensive staff and they have to pick up 3-4 solid ready to plug in o-linemen. it will be chaos though trying to stop the inevitable bleeding, and I’m not sure how they do it. Having an inept OC and compounding that with an unusual amount of injuries and bad Oline play just could not be overcome, even with a solid defense.
