How might the CFP committee view Week 1?

"Texas has to improve if that Notre Dame win is going to amount to anything."

 

According to ESPN, beating a FBS program Texas (with 881 wins) 3rd all time will not help Notre Dame in the committee's eyes vs programs like Baylor beating a 1-AA Lamar for final four consideration.

Are you a Cardinal fan?

How many teams had better wins?

 

Alabama. Texas A &M.

 

Those two for sure then a bunch of teams like ND would be in that next group of 3-4 with Auburn. So I'd have them as the fourth or fifth team based on 1 game.

ND never wins. They schedule traditionally solid teams like Texas, Georgia, etc...but they happen to be in a down year and no one gives them credit. How about giving them credit for playing a recent National Champion and not Alcorn St.? I understand the win needs to be taken in context, but it's still Texas.

 

Not to mention...this game wasn't close. We dominated in all facets. That should be worth something.

Texas recruiting classes in order older to newer...

 

2, 20, 20, 9 per 247.

They won't. They don't meet for several weeks so unless it were a loss, has little meaning until the season comes into better focus. Just like projecting Heisman leaders, it's nothing more than media hype at this point. All we need to do is continue to put up W's and control what we can control.
