FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Here's The Athletic's projection model: They give SMU a 79% chance of being in the field, Bama 21%. Everyone else is locked in.

CFP-RSVP Prices
For anyone unfamiliar, these things give the holder the right to buy a CFP championship game ticket at face value ($800 for lower level, $450 for upper). You buy them for a specific team, they can be bought and sold on the secondary market, and if your team does not make the championship game, you're SOL. They initially went on sale in August, before the season started. I started tracking the top 11 teams at that time. Obviously some of them became worthless (FSU, Michigan, Ole Miss) once it became clear those teams had no chance of making the playoff, while new teams emerged as the season went on. Trading has halted as of late Saturday evening. It resumes Sunday afternoon after the playoff field is announced. Same charts with different Y scales. You can see from the first chart that us, tOSU, and Georgia have been far and away the most valuable teams throughout the year. Oddly, I recorded today's data after our SECCG loss, and our value was unaffected. I don't get that. Oregon has been a great value all year, IMO. Bama and Tennessee both had their day in the sun in the middle of the season.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Where does Quinn end up getting drafted? Serious question. I think I’d be nervous has hell to do anything more than take him in the 3rd-4th and let him marinate for a couple years.

I rewatched the entire Georgia game so you don't have to
Yeah there were a bunch of plays in the first game where there were acres of space in the middle of the field with no defenders. I don’t think Georgia had any respect at all for the possibility of Quinn scrambling.

On Gameday this morning they pinned Quinn’s first quarter fumble on Banks. Said he’s supposed to kick out and engage the blitzing CB. I’m surprised by that analysis. Banks was busy blocking a stunting DL. I had assumed it was ultimately Blue’s guy, but he was busy blocking the blitzing LB. Either way, like I said in the OP, Sark was really, really pissed about something after this play.

Starting to stock up in case these tariffs actually happen (no CR). At least that’s what I told my wife lol.

2024 MWC Championship - UNLV vs. Boise State
- I rewatched the entire Georgia game so you don't have to
Yep, check out our very first drive in my longcat up above. Our first four plays all went for like 5-7 yards, I think - two quick first downs. Then we go horizontal for two plays and put ourselves in a 3rd and long.- I rewatched the entire Georgia game so you don't have to
Ever since it happened, I've been puzzled by how a seemingly pretty mortal Georgia team came in to Austin and beat us by double digits. I wanted to refresh my memory on what happened, and understand what it means for our rematch tomorrow. So I bit the bullet and rewatched the entire thing, taking a lot of notes. What follows is a drive-by-drive recap and my takeaways. First off, here's the game on YouTube: 1st Half Drives: 2nd Half Drives: OK, so what did I learn from subjecting myself to this? I thought we were physically outmatched on the OL, but it wasn't as bad as I remembered. A lot of the pressure they got on Quinn was due to intelligent blitz schemes, or miscommunications on our part. They also did a good job of keeping tight coverage and limiting Quinn's options. That said, Quinn did not play well. His interception was a bad throw, and he got away with a couple others. He threw at covered receivers several times. He was responsible for the self-sack deep in our own end, which really hurt us. There were a couple of opportunities for him to scramble for yardage that he didn't take. Mykel Williams in particular played absolutely out of his mind. We had no answer for him. Special teams hurt us and really contributed to the field position difference. I think we got too cute at times with the horizontal passing and running game. I feel like we saw this some against aggy as well. Georgia's defense was too fast to be beaten like that. They capitalized on our turnovers, and we largely couldn't on theirs, with the exception of the 3rd quarter interception. A big reason is because almost all of the turnovers happened deep in our end of the field. Our D can play with them. They had one sustained drive (that admittedly came at a crucial time), and that's about it. I feel somewhat better about tomorrow after rewatching. A lot of the negative things that we did can and should be cleaned up. We need Quinn to take care of the ball, special teams to not be a net negative, and Sark to not get too reliant on the east-west game, and we'll be ok. I expect that going into a hostile environment at College Station last weekend and coming away with the W will help our guys not feel like the moment is too big for them. Hook 'em, fuck Georgia, ou sucks, let's fucking go.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
It’s a developmental OL class. Clearly they would have preferred to add Fasusi. I hated losing Mills but it’s not clear how hard the staff fought to keep him. We need to land some real motherfuckers next year. I’m a lot less concerned than I was before we saw the Trevor Goosby-shaped monster than Flood has been cooking up in his lab.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

I'm never buying pressure treated lumber again if Auburn steals the guy out from under us. Fuck them, my shit is going to ROT.- Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor

I dunno what it was like at Bama, but Sark doesn't seem enamored with freshman WR not named Ryan Wingo. I'm not personally expecting a whole lot from Lockett and Ffrench next year.- Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I agree with you on Blue. He's fast, but the skillset that he has shown so far is a dime a dozen to the NFL. The questions on my mind are: Is there any possibility that he realizes that he is not currently a draft prospect and actually decides to stick around for another year? If so, would the coaches even be interested in that? Especially if it comes with a price tag and/or an expectation that there will be more carries coming his way. To me, it feels a little like a Keaontay Ingram situation where it might be best for everyone to have a mutual parting of ways. That's a shame. I assume he'd get drafted, but no higher than 5-7 round, IMO. He may fall into the category of "better college player than NFL prospect". We could really use him next year for all the reasons CTJ listed upthread, and to help with system continuity for Arch.- Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
At WR, does Golden count as a "portal" addition? I'm sure they'd love to have him back, and will spend significant effort and resources to retain him. Lots of moving parts at RB. I don't see why Blue would be back. I could see Gibson peacing out for a larger role somewhere. The sad fact is that we have no idea if Baxter will ever be the same or not. It will be interesting to see how that all plays out.- Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Don't get ahead of yourself, sip. Everyone knows that Arch is going to hit the portal, too.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Always wondered about him. Supposedly our staff absolutely loved him as a prospect.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
So that's a wrap for us today, right?- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Miami had extra time to recruit Wiley since they don’t have to prepare for a conference championship game or the playoffs.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
I guess college football teams are the hot new billionaire playthings? Can't wait until someone tries to relocate the Miami Hurricanes to Las Vegas unless he gets a new stadium deal.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
