TAMU Projected 8-7 against Q1 teams really helps them. The committee is going to have to weight quality ranks more than how they did Q1 and more specifically road Q1 records.

Double edged sword... by beating us, UGA is now projected to finish w an RPI in the Top 75. So that road game will count against our Q1 record, while even if we beat them at TBA will just be a Q2 game.

In another words would we have been better off losing at home to them and beating them on the road??

I counted 11. The problem is the low RPI losses.

UT has 10 with a tougher schedule. Also, if USCe just moves up a few spots, we would add an 11th.

Also, UT's 4 top 25 RPI wins is tied with several schools with the 2nd most. UNC and OU are the only schools with 5. It would have been nice to flip that by beating UNC.

They're projected to be 8-5 against Q1 teams and even more important - 5-3 against Q1 teams away from home. Based on that alone they look like a Top 16 seed.

....but they're projected to finish 4-6 against Q2 and 2-1 against Q3

:wacko:

Don't try to make sense of it. They are inconsistent and that's all there is to it.

I think one thing missing from a lot of those projections is conference standings. I know A&M has been mentioned here a getting a nice seed but I can't see that being possible if they finish as low as it appears they will.

They’re on another downward spiral...gonna be interesting to see what the committee does with them if they finish 18-13(7-11).

Texas Tech and Clemson have a real shot to lose just ahead of us RPI wise. Could be a good night to move up a 1-2 spots
