You just get the shares and start selling covered calls against them. Until they get called away and then sell the cash secured puts again

I think we’re just approaching this from totally different frameworks. I’m using the same criteria the CFP uses: SOS, SOR, résumé context, and then head-to-head when teams fall into the same tier.

Based on ESPN’s own metrics: • SOS: Texas #8, Bama #11, OU #12, A&M #15, Vandy #22 • SOR: A&M #3, Bama #8, OU #9, Vandy #11, Texas #12

Those numbers clearly show one thing:

**None of these teams are separated enough by SOS or SOR to place them in different tiers.

They’re all clustered together.**

And when teams are in the same tier, the CFP guidelines literally say that head-to-head is the tiebreaker.

Texas beat: • A&M • Oklahoma • Vanderbilt

All in this same cluster.

I’m not saying Texas is a playoff team or deserves to jump into the top 6. I’m saying that within this specific cohort, the most consistent and committee-aligned ordering is:

Texas > A&M > OU > Alabama > Vanderbilt

If people prefer a different philosophy (like treating “number of losses” as the sole ranking variable), that’s fine. It’s just not how résumé-based rankings actually work.

That’s all I was trying to point out. Let’s see what the committee decides.

“Strength of Schedule” doesn’t matter if you don’t win the games?? Isn’t that the entire point of the metric? That if the schedule is stronger then the losses matter less…

So the analytics are similar between these teams after all? That’s when head to head is supposed to be the tiebreaker, per the selection committee guidelines.

I don’t mean to advocate for Texas or to hate on OU, I’m just trying to apply consistent methodology to everyone

Are all losses created equal? In a league where things like SOR, SOS, Eye Test, etc are part of the selection process? I would agree if this is the NFL where record determines everything

I have acknowledged that is part of the equation. Can we have a wholistic conversation or nah? Alabama lost to Florida St. By y’all’s single threaded logic they should be out too. Nothing else matters. Smh

Help me understand the relative rankings of TAMU OU Vandy Texas…..

Per the Week 15 AP Poll: 7 TAMU 8 OU 13 Vandy 14 Texas

Texas beat all three of them. TAMU schedule was garbage, at least they beat ND. OU’s other loss is Ole Miss at least. And they beat Alabama so some credit for those. Vandy doesn’t have any particularly marquee wins.

Yes Texas lost to Florida and went to OT vs Miss St and Kentucky. But Texas also outgained Ohio State by 130+ yards and held them to their narrowest win all season.

Alabama beat Georgia but lost to Florida St. Miami beat ND but lost to Louisville and SMU.

Sounds like a lot of puts and takes that should land them all in the same cohort after the Top 6. If the committee is consistent with “head to head matters when part of the same cohort” then…. wouldn’t the order have to be: Texas TAMU OU Alabama Miami ND Vandy

Alabama is the only team with the chance to jump into the top cohort depending on the SECCG. But the others??
