  1. What a glorious time... Also all that ODB "The Catch" shit in a fucking loss.
  2. What? I was talking about ND not aggie.
  3. "Don't Deserve" based on what? 3 losses? Why? That's as silly a take as saying a team "deserves" it for playing a crappy schedule and only have 1-2 losses. I don't know why people keep saying this when they're 10th, so they can't drop at all, and if BYU wins someone has to be knocked out, and it won't be top 5 Tech with only their 2nd loss coming in the CCG. Why is this stupid take still coming? It's because of the 3 losses. Doesn't matter who the 3 losses are. They could have ONLY lost to Florida and Miss ST or Kentucky or Arkansas, and as long as it was ONLY 2 losses they're in the playoffs, easily. The ONLY thing keeping them out is "A third loss" Exactly 100% SMU was ranked Top 10 and Bama wasn't. That's the biggest difference. And the comittee made a huge point LAST YEAR to say the final rankings would not drop someone for losing in the CCG. They have no preached that this year and can change that...it's not a rule. But a guidline. Exactly. They had 1 loss going into the CCG and were ranked a few spots above. Much difference scenario this time. sure until they pick up a 3rd loss No our 3rd loss was Georgia too. Try to keep up. sure...but we don't HAVE to "fantasize" about a team we literally scheduled and didn't have to like our conference schedule. Nah this commitee has proven that how you win, when you win, or how you lose matters...only if you Won or Loss. They're taking nothing esle into account...so I ask...why are they even there? Just use fucking rankings/polls since that's all they're doing too. Going by wins/losses.
  4. Oh yeah much more likely, even if they go 3-2. Cowboys probably can't afford a loss at all. But hell, they finish the season on a 7-1 run or even 6-2, with an improved Defense, and can find a way to keep Pickens, with 2 first rounders? Going to be hard to keep the hype down...only for us to get disappointed again, lol Also heard this stat...since the bye week/trade. The cowboys have given up 5 scoring drives out of 6 in the first quarter alone. Basically when the other offense has scripted their plays. From the 2nd quarter on in those 3 games they've given up 6 scoring drives total out of like 24 I think. So basically once their scripts are done, and the defense has a chance to see their gameplan, they start shutting them down. Pretty impressive they can do that...all we have to do is weather the storm. We trailed in all 3 games early...so it checks out.
  5. Yeah not enough is made of this...I dont' even remember the last lower division school Texas has played...if ever. They should count those games as .5 wins.
  6. yeah that's absolute rubbish...they'd be in if they didn't lose to OSU or if they played Purdue instead. GTFO with that shit...otherwise even Bama would be low with their bad loss.
  7. I've been thinking this too...why do they get an at large just for being ND...if they had another helmet they'd barely be top 15 or so.
  8. he's a very solid coach...but good where he's at. He wouldn't fit in the Northeast at all would he? Plus pressure and all the divas he's going to have to recruit?
  9. yep...that's why we can't schedule potential losses on purpose. Even beating OSU wouldn't mean a lot...we'd be above the 2 loss teams? cool. Good Then we deserve to be left out going forward for being dumb enough to schedule those. But I suspect 16 teams are going to be in the playoffs by then. True, but you fucking KNOW OSU and Michigan and even ND are going to be at least a tough team to beat, even if they're bad due to talent they recruit.
  10. Yep OR a BYU win. People are flat forgetting only the Top 10 matter...11 and 12 are reserved for teams that have no business going to the playoffs. I doubt it unless BYU drags them(the whole can't punish you for playing that game BS) but everyone in the top 10 right now keep saying "they're locks" That's not true with BYU at 11 and a win gives them a spot...someone is getting knocked out. That's the chaos scenerio. You can't drop Bama and BYU gets in...so who get's dropped? Agreed...but we can't say Bama is a lock based on not being punished then say Tech should be punished. A loss is a loss is a loss. That's it'. 3 Loss Texas is in this boat no matter who the 3 losses were to. Exactly No, the 3rd loss IS what's killing us. 2 loss Texas with one being Florida is at least where OU is if not higher. How? The top 10 goes and who's dropping out? I think they should...but they're not dropping OU/Bama/ND Yeah the ONLY way we get in is a Bama blowout loss and BYU loss. And nothing has gone our way this year. Bama with 3 losses won't have a better resume than Texas...even with the extra win. But they'll pull the "can't punish them for losing the CCG" crap. Exactly...Bama is ONLY locked in if they win, or lose close AND BYU loses. Me too...just a total clusterfuck. Someone in the top 10 WILL be dropped out, and crying how they got screwed, after crowing about how they're "playoff locks" right now. God I hope it's OU.
  11. What are you trying to say? We'd still have 3 losses...that's all that matters. The committee has proven that over and over otherwise we'd be above BYU/Miami/ND and probalby Bama/OU too. And Michigan damn sure wouldn't have jumped us after we won last week. Not sure what you were getting at...
  12. Wait so it's Klein's fault, not Elko's...while it's the other HC's fault? Interesting. I mean their Offense wasn't good, but they depend on a mid QB too much. However Elko is a defensive coach and we had our best rushing day against them.
  13. As he fucking should. Fight the fight. The OSU loss IS one of three losses. They are not getting in becuase they have 3 losses. It quite literally doesn't matter who they're to. They could have lost to Miss St and Florida and beat Georgia and played Purdue instead of OSU and they'd still be in with just 2 losses. An OSU victory doesn't help us in the slightest except for one less loss. The AMOUNT of losses matter, not who they're to. Exactly. Losing to Florida is A reason they're out. It's not THE reason. Losing to Georgia AND OSU are just as big. No, the problem is there are 3 losses. None is worth more or less than any others. Losing to aggie instead of Florida wouldn't change them not being a playoff team. Beating Rice instead of losing to OSU would have made them easily a playoff team. This isn't complicated. Don't lose to Florida, OR Ohio ST OR Georgia and you're in. Losing to Florida isn't keeping them out. Losing 3 times is. Hope this helps.
  14. 3pm on NYE vs Michigan would be a marquee bowl game and slot...sure sucks to get michigan agian, but would be a solid win to end the season and catapult us to next year.
  15. It's a long shot, but the Eagles did this in 2023. Big lead, great record...then sucked down the stretch. It's not unrealistic to think they'll go 3-2 or even 2-3 to close with the way they are. Dallas goes 4-1 and it's going to get tight...5-0 for sure. BTW Detroit has a really bad interior OL, which is why they wanted Ragnow. He won't be back. The Boys interior DL is their strength on Defense now. And not sure about Amon St Brown either...
  16. Agreed. OU/Bama not losing really was the nail. I’d love to see a bama loss drop them but they won’t do it most likely. but bumping them out because BYU won would be hilarious. Would not surprise me at all to see these rankings have both ND and Bama jump OU so they don’t have to make a decision between ND and a possible SEC loss Bama being edged out for BYU and can drop OU to 11 to put BYU in at 10.
  17. Which is why the only real chance is bama/BYU loss and jumping Texas up. I still want chaos and BYU winning now. Seeing which team gets screwed and bumped out so 2 big 12 teams get in. They’re giving Texas shit for politicking watch what happens when’s ND/Bama/OU is doing it.
  18. I wouldn’t put him on he level of Smart for sure. But Debour? Why not? He has some bad losses at bama too. And lost to OU twice. Sure he beat Georgia but has as many head scratching losses. not saying he isn’t better than Sark…but they’re in the same level imo. Smart since only one who’s unquestionably better than almost all others.
  19. I agree. And it’ll cause the most chaos. doubt a 1 loss tech who’s at 5 now, most likely, falls all the way out of the top 10. So that means one of OU/ND/Bama will. so OU does nothing to deserve a drop but does. or ND gets dropped when we all know they want them in the playoffs even without a schedule to deserve it. or Bama loses the CCG and gets punished for it causing that Game to be even more outdated and no one will want to play in it.
  20. The ONLY way Texas sneaks in is if BYU/Bama lose and they drop them both behind texas(and Texas jumps Miami as they should). That assumes they the committee would not see the “teams can’t drop by playing in the CCG” as a rule and more a guideline like the whole “tough OOC games won’t hurt you”. but honesty I want to see BYU win. Just for the chaos it’ll cause. They’ll have to be in and Tech won’t drop from 5 with 1 loss not to out completely. So one of OU/ND/Bama would drop to 11 and thus be kicked for the ACC/G5 champ. imagine the hoops to drop ND(we all know then won’t) or Bama(and throw out the CCG loser being left out) or even a higher ranked OU who did nothing to drop in the polls. we’d not only get a move to 16, but do away with the CCGs and tough OOC games going away all in one offseason maybe. 😂
  21. Oh…but was the sign wrong or…
  22. Also yes I think Bama should drop if they lose and have 3 losses. The whole “you can’t drop if you play in the CCG” is not a rule anymore than “not being penalized for tough OOC games” is. we’d have a stormy argument against them and should jump BYU/Miami anyways IMO.
  23. You know the more I think about this the more I think an even more hilarious result could happen. Wanna talk “chaos”? What happens if BYU wins? Tech won’t drop out being top 5/6 with only 1 loss now. And 11/12 are earmarked for the ACC/G5 champ(which is dumb we all agree). So who drops? #8 2 loss OU? #9 2 loss ND that no one here believes the committed will not have in the playoffs? Or #10 Bama(who I shouldn’t drop based on playing the SEC title game or so we’ve heard)? Talk about absolutely pandemonium if either other those 3 gets dropped. BUT the best thing is all the OU/Aggie fans crowing about how, even though we beat both, we’re sitting at home for the playoffs will be hilarious to throw in their face when/if OU is left out for BYU. So while I think the best result for Texas, is Bama/BYU losses to get an outside shot of getting placed at 10(not likely I know) over both. I think BYU winning would be the most crazy, realistic, thing to happen this weekend.
  24. ONLY 55? The scrimmage against Kids has us locked into the playoffs. Even after losing to Florida.
  25. Even without OSU we’d have a better resume than Bama. 2-2 vs top 10 teams. Both the wins over top 8 teams and the win over a common opponent they lost to at home. so we’d still be above them if played and beat wake forest instead of OSU. imo.
