  1. And still “first team out” unless: Auburn upsets Bama or LSU upsets ou AND Tech wins the Big 12 CCG (I think Tech is a lock if they make the CCG and Big 12 steals a 2nd bid if they get upset).
  2. No. But I don’t know how much you can hang your hat on what a team was ranked when you played them. dumb argument to puff your chest over a win against a top 5 Clemson or Penn St from September, for example. Us, Indiana, and Georgia are the only teams that have won 2 against current top 10. We’re the only team that could end the regular season with 3 wins against the current top 10. Only 6 teams have played at least 4 teams currently in the top 16. Us, South Carolina (5) Wisconsin (4), Auburn (4), Florida (4), LSU (4).
  3. Yeah. Tennessee over Vandy in Knoxville is very doable. LSU win at OU Sat afternoon would be nearly on par with 2001 OK State over ou (also a 2:30 kickoff the Saturday afternoon after T-Day in Norman) that back doored us in to the Big 12 CCG that year. sucks that it takes us having the same record as two teams we beat before we can jump them but here we are
  4. Yeah if we wanted any shot, they needed to have us ahead of more than just two 2 loss teams (Michigan and UVA) after last week, not behind seven 2 loss teams. we’ll jump now 2 loss Ga Tech and now 3 loss USC this week, but would have been nice to have been right behind vandy last week instead of on Tuesday. And for Utah to have been a spot or two lower last week.
  5. 4th in MLB in HRs in 2025.
  6. always has been. serves the double bonus of schools partaking in it rising through the rankings for doing nothing half the month (bye + cupcake) while everyone is in a war of attrition. Would like to think that’s not as important now with the cfp committee but it absolutely is. I’d bet Texas is several spots higher than 17 if they lose to Georgia on Oct 25 or Nov 1 than Nov 15.
  7. Wherever the new world order of college football settles, it needs to outlaw the SEC using the month of November for Cupcake U. All schools have an actual bye during November and then a de facto bye on another weekend. Half of the month with nearly all of your conference playing nothing of significance is terrible for a number of reasons. Surprised ESPN hasn’t squashed this by now (I guess they partly did with the 9 game conference schedule next year. I haven’t looked at how many schools will still have a cupcake out of conference game in November vs doing them all in September.
  8. Win 1 fucking home game son and I were first row for game 5 when Altuve hit that clutch 3 run homer and inability to win a home game ruined what would have been an all-time top 5 sports memory for me
  9. Something about that picture had me thinking Corky from Life Goes On, but that tweet works too
  10. pretty obvious what was coming if they looked to the sidelines
  11. Yeah. This definitely makes things a lot clunkier…. even for just Sunday night baseball alone as referenced above
