A lot of positive things happened for Texas today.

 

As I see it, we need Texas to go 2-1 of the remaining 3 games and have the following happen to likely secure Texas a spot as the 5th SEC team.

 

1. USC loses to Oregon

2. Michigan loses to Ohio St

3. Oklahoma loses to Alabama

4. Vanderbilt loses to Tennessee

 

Bonus points for Pitt beating ND

Or go 10-2 and remove all doubt.

Well yes, but this post is assuming Texas goes 9-3.

We need Cincinnati to knock off BYU so BYu doesn’t have me regular season with 1 loss.  If you have 2 - 1 loss big 12 teams playing in the big 12 championship I could possibly see a 2 loss looser of big 12 getting in.

I agree that makes it more likely. I just dont see BYU getting much respect at all after today's performance.

Not if BYU gets waxed by Tech again and Texas ends the season beating #3 or #2 TAMU

Two loss teams may get left out for a 9-3 Texas team. If the committee wants to incentivize big non conference games then they will have to leave out BS crap schools

Correct, but I would clarify that two loss Regular season teams will get left out for a 9-3 Texas team.  I’m not as confident that an 11-1 regular season team that Loses in their conference championship game will fall below a 9-3 Texas.

This mainly applies to a possible 11-1 BYU making the B12 CG and losing to a top 5-6 Tech team again.  

We need to bear Jawja for a lot of reasons.  Let’s get that done.

This is correct. The committee indicated this with quite a few 2 loss teams over current 1 loss teams in the ACC.

If Cincinnati wins out, they'll be the 2 seed for the Big 12 Championship. Then we want Tech to win big. That will be enough to keep BYU and Cincinnati out of the CFP.

Cincinnati has 2 losses already I believe?  Don't think a 2 loss big 12 team gets in unless they win the championship.

Agreed, that’s why Tech needs to win

We need OU and USC to lose to help this scenario.

9-3 Texas would need some major help now
