  1. I didn’t say that. I was arguing with the guy that was interpreting that I said we’d be unlikely to lose any other OOC game one as that we couldn’t lose an OOC game. We picked the hardest possible game one.
  2. I didnt say capable of. I said likely.
  3. We’re in the SEC. Besides OSU and the other SEC teams, can you name very many teams that you think we would have scheduled several of years ago that would have beat us? Maybe Indiana, but who’d have known they’d be so good? Our offense wasn’t great at first and really still isn’t but that’s an exceptionally difficult game one. It’s the hardest possible game one. second paragraph: right back to the it comes down to Florida argument I’m not whining or motivated about perceptions, I want to motivate good games and the simple logical choice is that SEC schools have no benefit for scheduling top tier OOC games. That’s just bad for the sport. There are several playoff teams that will have no win as good as our third best win and risked nothing in OOC schedule. Notre Dame being the worst offender.
  4. Some people are saying exactly that. Maybe it isn’t your position. However the other two losses are an exhibition against a non conference perineal power house opponent that we volunteered for and a perineal powerhouse conference team, both on the road. Both those teams have consistently ranked high in recruiting and recently won national titles. No team, except possibly Bama, would be favored to win a game against either team.
  5. That’s literally the “reductive lost to Florida” argument that some are espousing.
  6. So if we were 11-1 like the Aggies but our only loss was Florida, some of you think we shouldn’t be in? My position isn’t so much that we should be in on merit but that what motivates better games. I agree that the Florida loss is bad.
  7. I agree as a Texas fan. However the issue I think that affects all of CFB is what motivates better games and which teams can actually make a run.
  8. Maybe that’s what people think but we could have played almost anyone besides Ohio State and likely won. Then we’d be 10-2 and in the playoffs, so in fact we are being deincintivized to schedule hard games going forward.
  9. I think talent differential. I guess I should be more specific that I think the odds to win the game, not necessarily the betting odds. Like before A&M the line was them -2.5 but they said we had a 51% chance to win the game. There’s been other games like that this year.
  10. I doubt Texas makes the playoffs…. However I think we’d be favored on a neutral field over any team but OSU and UGA.
  11. Elko reminds me of Rosie Odonnel.
  12. What are we saving his legs for at this point? Just need to do everything possible to score
  13. On like 6 targets?
  14. By a lot
