Anyone but Oregon. Phil Knight hasn't even been shy about saying he's given them a blank check to buy football championships. fug that.

I don't think you should kick a team out that plays in its championship game if it was highly ranked going into it.

I thought we were about putting the best teams in?

What about Texas' season suggests they're one of the best teams?

Their schedule wasn’t the most difficult but they only lost to Georgia and one of those games was in OT.

They should ditch preseason and early season polls. Honestly the first poll should come out mid-season. Too many highly ranked teams stay there no matter what. Texas has zero wins this year over ranked opponents so why were they ranked #2? What did they do to earn that other than being a unanimous top 5 preseason team?

I am about putting the best teams in, and if you can't make it to your conference championship game and you're not very high rated, why should you go?

What was Texas' rating before the championship game? That tells you about their season.

Zero ranked opponents. Two unranked losses. No argument for them to get in.

It tells you that they were highly thought of going into the season because they didn't beat a single ranked football team.

I hate that Bama is out, but it’s the right call.

Yeah, I'm for leaving out the bubble teams with very obvious flaws. Milroe is just too limited as a passer to win three games against playoff caliber teams. Just not gonna happen. I'd love to see Cam Ward against a playoff caliber team but let's be real, Miami's D is gonna give up 40+ and they're gonna lose so why bother?
