  1. I don't see why UVA would want Miami in. I also wonder if ND has any friends on the committee. It's a 2 loss team with a weak schedule, but it also has been smart enough to run up the score to try to deflect attention from the fact that they started the season 0-2.
  2. UVA also on the committee. Shouldn't matter because UVA beats Duke and autobids in.
  3. And yet, as Sark correctly points out, if we'd played Syracuse instead of Ohio State, we'd be in.
  4. I love this creative use of traditional Mississippi music!
  5. I don't see anyone on the committee who will be eager to advocate for Texas, I gotta say.
  6. I guess Wesley Walls is gonna make a strong argument for Laneless Ole Miss to be in, then
  7. Utah's AD is on the committee. Does he need to abstain in some capacity?
  8. Something about Texas A&M makes the Centex guys more clutch, especially if they're from Westlake and have been in the program for several years.
  9. Notre Dame is very good at running up the score against terrible teams. That's more or less what they've needed to do to make their case to the committee.
  10. He hasn't answered that yet. I think maybe they beat ousux or aggy (but not both).
  11. Did it project what would need to happen for Texas to sneak in? I think Bama, Tech, and UVA have to win.
  12. What if we only accept the least prestigious possible bowl game, so we still get the practices. A way to symbolically schedule the cupcake we should have scheduled instead of Ohio State
  13. Texas has already beaten three of the teams that these people want to rank ahead of Texas, and two of the losses are from ranked teams. Be honest with yourself, if Tech had played those five teams (Ohio State, Georgia, aggy, Vandy, and ousux) would it have fared better than 3-2? Try the same thought experiment with BYU, ND (we already know they can't beat aggy), and Miami. As far as any hypothetical matchup directly between Tech and Texas, feel free to disagree but you look ridiculous in the process.
  14. Connor Stroh has been benched. I think Arch and the RBs have had decent protection since then. Unless you have Georgia's talent, I am not concerned.
  15. Utah's OL has nothing of value to protect, and didn't look particularly impressive in Lawrence.
  16. Florida and Georgia also recruit much better players because they are flagship programs in talent-dense states. Tech fights for scraps and needs to portal everyone else in. The blueprint for beating Texas up front is easy to imitate but hard to duplicate, and I have a hard time believing Tech would have as much success as is being suggested.
  17. Arch doesn't need much time to make plays, but also, how would you know? There's not a single B1G or SEC team on Tech's schedule. Tech opted to schedule Oregon State, a team that can't even beat Sam Houston in Corvallis. It's safe to say, Tech's front seven has not actually been tested.
  18. Okay, the thing is that Vegas doesn't use these weird little websites, and for good reason. Sagarin for example has Notre Dame #2. Sorry but that right there discredits everything else his model has to say about college football in 2025. Kenpom would never. I'm mainly going by matchups and talent. Texas would simply overwhelm Tech, and that's how I see the game shaking out 9 out of 10 times, which is how Vegas will set the line.
  19. This is exactly it. Would probably portal in a new insurance policy, but Lacey should have most reps and if he's good he should beat out the insurance portal guy for 2nd string.
  20. Does Sagarin simulate games? I've not seen anything like that. I don't think BYU is any good. We'll see if Tech covers whatever the spread ends up being.
  21. Caldwell was an insurance policy. He gone.
  22. I still remember when we had to boatrace Okie Lite in Dallas to win a beauty contest over Florida State. Alabama can definitely be punished by the committee if it shits the bed in Atlanta. A close loss, maybe they're still in, but a blowout hurts them as much as it would help the opposing team achieve a higher seed.
