  1. That's assuming a 2 loss OU, which in THAT scenario I wouldn't argue against. Why are you assuming I'm saying otherwise? I clearly said a BYU/Utah and maybe USC scenario comparing to them. Not an OU team that has wins over Michigan, and Tennessee/Bama on the road.
  2. Once again, I said it wouldn't hurt them as much if they didn't have a loss to OSU. That's my whole point. They didn't have to play that game, they did and the comittee made a point of saying they won't hold that against teams for scheduling high profile OOC games. Feel like we're saying similar things. 1 loss Texas, even to Florida, would be a shoe in to the playoffs, even if they lose to Georgia and beat aggy. They are NOT a lock now because of the OSU loss that didn't have to be played, than the Florida loss. That's not saying they should have beat Florida and it's not a black eye. Of course it is.
  3. Never said they aren't. I was more indignant about the "close wins" BS. I said they are ALSO being punished for the OSU loss and shouldn't be. Or not as much. If it comes down to a 2 loss BYU/UTAH or even a USC being compared to Texas, that OSU loss with be the one they have that kills them, because they "did not have to play them" That was my point. I'm not ignoring the Florida loss...just the Florida loss would not be hurting them as much if they hadn't also loss to OSU in the grand scheme of things.
  4. This is such a bad line of reasoning. Yes the Florida loss is an anchor, no denying that. But those "close wins" don't matter because "wins" We are ABSOLUTELY being punished for playing OSU, as in...if we had played Rice instead we'd be 8-1 and there's no fucking debate about us being worthy, the loss to Florida and those bad wins taken into account. The fact is teams like Oregon, Tech/BYU/UTAH and even ND for their joke of a schedule overall, are being rewarded for not playing a tougher schedule, and/or not scheduling tough OOC games. You can piss and moan about how they've looked against Kentucky(which has been pretty damned good since we beat them, and Miss St) and a loss to a talented if disappointing Florida team, while not also ignoring that Texas is being downplayed because they also lost week one on the road to the best team in the nation. Something the Committee said it would favorably in . So yes, they should look at Texas more like a 2 loss team, than a 3 loss when it comes down to it IMO. And this is a salient point. In the end if it's between 2 loss Utah/BYU and Texas, they probably will select Texas. They couldn't do that last year with Bama over SMU because they made HUGE spectacle about any teams already in the top 10 before the CCG's would not lose a spot just for losing that game, or it would make them worthless games(which they are, and I suspect will be done away with soon). I think the reason they're so down on ACC/Big 12 teams this year overall, is because they don't want the same thing to happen, and have a ACC or Big 12 loser guaranteed a spot. Might still happen for BYU(and a case could be made to them being worthy with just 2 losses and one in the CCG, but not Utah).
  5. Need BYU to lose again. Maybe Tech losing would be enough to make it a 1 bid league but they really want 2. If Georgia loses to Texas and GT they may be the one left out. WTF? We dominated that game in every facet except the scoreboard. OSU only had the ball across the 50 twice. And one of those was due to a INT. Arch played his absolute worst game and they were driving to score the tying TD when arch missed a wide open crosser. That game was closer than the score indicated actually. They’re good but they’ve played literally no one but week 2 ND who was still breaking in their new QB, who hasn’t plays anyone either but USC. I think Aggy is better than a lot think but they’re not proven. Not yet. 3 loss OU would go in over a 3 loss Texas?
  6. The Maryland was the “again” part and never said we beat them. That’s the level we’ll play.
  7. Exactly. The ACC is getting one team in and working hard to force the a change from auto bids for champs. and the Big MIGHT get 2 but it’s going to take tech and BYU winning out and a close loss in the big 12 title game and Evene then nah not be enough. The loss column will matter less this year than ever before. Texas beat either Aggy or Georgia and barely loses the other one(particular a close loss in Athens) they have a very good chance. if not say good by to big time non conference games and they’ll be playing Rutgers and Maryland again.
  8. Been preaching this. There is NO reason they're Top 10 over Texas or OU IMO. Honestly yes...their wins, and the closest anyone's been to OSU on the road loss trump the rest. Honestly I think we'd be happy at this point too. Maybe they catch fire ala OSU last year late. I fucking hope so too. 100% this
  9. 2027 first 2027 1st, 2026 2nd, and Mazi Gotta hope they're better next year. All I got. If they don't' have the worst defense of all time, and a similar offense they'll have a late teens pick at worst. This year is the one that couldn't get rid of. At least they did what I asked. Got a PROVEN player, under 30, who's under contract for this season, and 2 more. Not a rental, not a short term guy. Yes I know "draft picks" but those are crap shoots. I've been preaching to use at least 2nd for legitimate proven players that have shown something rather than hoping injured guy will be something. But, obviously, if they pick top 10 next year and lost the pick...that's awful.
  10. Nobody. There some of us who were still seeing the same arch in the first half against Miss St, and were saying he needed to sit(and I don't' think it was impatient to say that 6 games in), but I believe everyone, even the real Arch haters, all have said he's been great since the 2nd half of Miss St.
  11. Absolute pussy move Coach. You’re down 17 and your defense can’t make 1 stop. Much less 3. A FG isn’t worth shit.
  12. Gotta throw that one Dak. Don’t Normally Hang on there. plus that’s holding on pickens
  13. Once again the punt block was the worst thing that could happen to them.
  14. Jesus fucking Christ what is with you Dak hating morons? he’s not having first game, and there are a lot of factors for it. posts like this are idiotic and worthless.
  15. Absolute and utter garbage.
  16. We just can’t have any nice things. He’s been hitting shit that’s good from 70 for weeks. And he can’t make that?
  17. That was a bullshit call by the ref. We’ve seen the play stop on that same kind of play. does he get it?
  18. Been saying that. The blocked punt was actually the worst outcome. They could have gone into half down 10-7. Now they’ll at best be down 17-10.
  19. Easy TD. “so fucking easy”. if you’re a cowboy defender how are you not fucking embarrassed?
  20. Juts let them score. You’re playing into their hands. wasted your timeout now and they’re going to get a TD anyways.
  21. 2nd and 10 and get 9. I have no faith. Also awesome time out. Give them all the time to get a TD and then maybe try to get a FG before half but it’ll probably be another turnover.
  22. It’s not even funny anymore.
  23. It’s not even funny anymore.
  24. It was a first down competition. They won’t call it. now if they throw incomplete they’ll call it. You know to say “hey we called it!” what the fuck? A dump off and then they get 9 yards after a fucking stupid hit.
  25. Finally getting some pass rush and it don’t matter. They’ll be lucky to be down 13-7 at half.
