It’s a terrible consolation prize because obviously I’d rather beat their ass but any kind of way to stick it to them I’ll take

If Ugly somehow manages to lose to GT they will have lost to two crap teams this year. Our two losses were to top 10 teams. Head-to-head wouldn't matter. We'd jump the Dwags. I root for GT every year but to no avail.

6-4 against us this decade. Not exactly owning us in absolute terms but better for them relative to the previous 20 years and unacceptable regardless. Mullen needs to beat them next year and the 10 years thereafter.
A point we can all agree on.

Is it at GT this year?

The answer to the OP's rhetorical question is no, nein, nyet and absolutely, positively not going to phukking happen. Now about the possibility that "Dorky Dan" will never win anything worth winning at UF - I'm not yet fully convinced one way or the other. And just for the record, I was never in the "Trask will absolutely never take a meaningful snap" school of thought either. Just saying.

Even fewer people thought Orgeron was going to have a winning record at LSU. But he’s doing it. Mullen could get us to to promised land.

As of tonight, still stuck at #11 in CFP rankings, with PSU, inexplicably, ahead of us. So no, we're not getting into the CFP. Right now, because of the rotation in the seedings of the non-CFP New Year's Six games (i.e. ACC commit to OB, which will probably be #24 VT) and OB taking next highest team (in this case, #10 PSU, who cannot lose to Rutgers this weekend and doesn't have another game after that), we may not even make a NY6 game.

We'll need several combinations of teams ahead of us to lose to make NY6, such as Okie St upsetting OK, then OK beating Baylor in Big XII Championship the week later, just to get us ahead of Baylor and OK so we can make NY6. There are other combinations as well, too complicated to discuss.

Yeah, I don't get PSU being ahead of us at all. We both lost to what amounts to co-#1 teams depending on the poll you use while our second loss was to a top 5 team and theirs was to #9. Personally I think we've played the tougher schedule...depending on the rating service you look at it varies. Their sos will take a hit this coming week worse than ours will.

Pac-12 title game is Oregon vs Utah, not USC, and btw Utah's only loss was to USC this season
If you read the post you quoted, you will see that I knew USC beat Utah. I also knew that Oregon and Utah played for the title. The question, which you came no where near answering was "Why, even with the Utah win, is a 4 loss USC team ranked?"

I see that you realize that CDM will be here for another 11 years.
