Mack Brown talks OU’s chances for playoffs with loss to UT on resume
Posted November 4th, 2015
Former Texas coach Mack Brown, now an analyst with ESPN, talked all things college football playoffs during a Wednesday teleconference.
He was asked about how the College Football Committee might view one-loss Oklahoma, since the Sooners’ one loss came to 3-5 Texas.
Brown said: “The eye test is very, very important, and the Texas-OU game being at mid season, everybody watches it, and for a team in Texas who was struggling because they had lost in a very difficult game to TCU before, it really hurts Oklahoma.
“It’s one of the things I worry about with our committee because we are all human, and we can throw people out of the possibilities very quickly if they have a bad game. As Todd (Blackledge) said, Ohio State’s was early enough last year they got on a roll. And Oklahoma’s doing that, but Oklahoma has to finish at Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma State.”
