What I'm saying is that IF we were to lose the championship game (our last game of the year)...They...the committee ...will find a way to leave us out over bigger name (blue blood) schools...just how I see things happening. We fix that by not losing any games...
But yes, IMHO, we won't get the benefit of the doubt in that scenario over an SEC champion Alabama...even if they have two losses...OR a Big 12 Champion OU with two losses to KSU and OSU on the road and a win over us in the final...Just sucks, but IMHO it is reality...and if you have been on this board for any time at all you know I'm far from a pessimist.
In fact, right now, I think we will be favored in all our games, can (and should) win them all and automatically get in.

Yeah, that's ridiculous considering you don't even know who the other teams will be that get into the playoff. Washington got in last year. Are they a "blueblood?"
So hypothetically, you're saying if we have one loss and Washington has two that Washington will still definitely get in before we do? That's absurd.
Again, you're talking about two whole programs to make your point when there are four playoff spots.
You're also making the assumption that OU won't have three losses. Don't forget they go to Ohio State as well.
It's ridiculous to automatically assume that we won't get a playoff spot without considering all of the outside factors that could take place.

Certainly it's obviously conjecture...and I hope you are correct...but experience tells me that likely we would get bumped for a 2 loss PAC champ USC...not a Washington...A 2 loss Big 10 champ Ohio State...maybe not a Michigan State...a 2 loss ACC champ Florida State...An OU or a Texas with 2 losses if either was to beat us in the Championship game...Just is what it is when you lose the last game of the year and don't win your conference...I'm saying we can't get in with a loss in our conference championship game being that it's the Big 12 and the national media thinks we are the 4th or 5th best conference at best...if that loss was to occur in our title game...time will tell and I hope we win them all (especially that last one) and don't have to even worry.
Btw, it's way to early to discuss this stuff...Beat Tulsa!!

Yep, the very specific and small amount of teams ranked currently in the top five or six in most pre season rankings..
so, yeah.I would lay $100 bucks and a hideaway pizza that IF we lose in an unecessary conference championship game we won't sniff the playoff...right now I'm predicting that we won't lose so the point will, hopefully, be moot. But I retain that the champion of the conference will be the only team that will sniff the playoff..and if it's not us, fair or unfair, we won't go.
