This.It's not the committee's fault that Texas hasn't looked dominant late in the season. TCU by 3? Houston by 1 TD?
The weakest argument in football right now is Texas Fan bringing up our results vs Texas Tech. We played them week 2, on the road, with them at full strength. It was our first real game, as PSU was like a glorified scrimmage. Teams are always trying to figure s*** out that early in the year. A great example is our win against Ohio State -- I love that we won, but I'll go to my grave believing the only reason we won was because it took Ohio State there quarters to realize we weren't throwing the ball more than 10 yards down the field.
(Another great example: Texas beating Alabama in Week 2 when 'Bama was still floundering around on offense. The following week, Bama hung a whopping (checks notes) 17 POINTS on unranked South Florida.)
Texas played TT at home, with TT's QB gone (and Texas having a much better stable of backups), in week 12. I mean by week 12, I certainly hope you're blowing out unranked teams at home. Great job, Texas, for actually being dominant once.
So, yeah -- Oregon is properly ranked. Texas has struggled all year and was incredibly fortunate to play Alabama in Week 2 and not Week 5 or 6. They also lost to a two-loss team. They almost lost to a team that COLORADO beat! I mean if you want to talk about common opponents why not bring that up?
This would have been so much easier had the CFP properly ranked Utah. Oregon should have two ranked wins right now.
