  1. Robert Mays has been talking on Twitter about how it's likely NFL teams will throw a lot of money at Lincoln Riley for several reasons.

    1. Rams don't have an OC.  Chiefs OC doesn't call plays.  McDaniels left a team hanging at the last minute last time.  So the typical NFL offensive genius hire isn't there.

    2. He's the consensus "next offensive genius" in college.

    3. Browns would love to make Baker comfortable.

     

    It's entirely possible that we never go against him again.

    Frankly, we need for WVU to remain unbeaten until they travel to Austin, then beat a 1-loss WVU in the CCG.

    If Texas wins out in a 2-loss WVU scenario, there would be enough other upsets to open the door.

    But, of course, winning out seems ... unlikely.

    Beat Baylor, rest up, and keep going, I guess, lol.

    A 1-loss OU in the CCG is just as appealing to voters.

    I also think it's possible Notre Dame and Clemson lose a game.  If that happens, Texas doesn't need anyone else on the schedule to do anything.  Winning out would be enough.

    But what if that one dimension is the best in the country? 

    Your team might be great and win the conference, and your QB might be truly amazing.  But as of right now, you've played the easiest schedule in the conference.  WVU could realistically start 8-0 and finish 9-3 with losses against Texas, TCU and OU.

    Enjoy it and all, but don't be confused why people aren't praising your team every week.

    According to that website, scoring differential is the first tiebreaker if Texas, OU and WVU all finish with one conference loss.

    "Scoring differential among the tied teams. The team or teams with the lowest difference between points scored and points allowed in games vs. the tied teams is eliminated from consideration."

    So blowing that huge lead yesterday could hurt us.

  5. Assuming the rest of the season goes great and we win out (obviously not a foregone conclusion and this could all crumble), I don't think it matters if we play OU or WVU in the Big 12 Championship game.  What matters is that one of them wins out after they lose to us.

    Beating an 11-2 Oklahoma or 11-2 West Virginia twice gets us into the playoffs.

    Definitely looks like he ended on "bitch". Surprised KB didn't have much emotion if Kyler said something stupid.

    All the dudes from that class just adored Murray. Malik called him the goat today (albeit while hyped about the win).

     

  7. I thought some of the takes on here against him last week were bizarre.  Even if he lost this game, it was already obvious he was growing.

    The worst thing about him was his late turnovers and since week 2, hes fixed that.  He's a true dual threat and he knows how to find his best receivers.

     

  8. Burt always looks really happy on the sidelines, in videos, and post game.  He's always congratulating dudes and standing in front for the eyes.

    Just get the vibe that he's a track dude who likes his life right now.  I could be wrong since I'm basing all of this on video and pictures.

  9. If we find a way to win this week, it will move up to the top regardless how it happens.  After the shit that has been the 2010's, it would feel really great to have a win over OU, a top 10 ranking, be 5-1, be undefeated this late in conference play for the first time since 2009.  It would feel really good.

    If we lose, then 2005 is my favorite.  For the same reasons but not quite as dramatic.

  10. Kyler Murray, DeMarcus Lodge, Greg Little, JK Dobbins, Baron Browning, Walker Little, Marvin Wilson, Jaylen Waddle, Kaden Smith, Tyrie Cleveland, Klevon chaisson, and Jeffrey Okudah leaving the state might have something to do with it.

    In 2007 only 2 of the top 18 recruits in the state left the big 12.  Times changed.

    But I really do not give a shit about any of those schools being good again except Texas.  None of them were that great in 2005 and life was just fine.
