  1. Hahaha that thread is full of people suggesting things that computer ratings systems have been doing for 30 years. Particularly hilarious is where they say you could use SOR but then consider MOV but not straight MOV because there should be diminishing returns on blowouts. ESPN's Strength of Record but with MOV considered but not straight MOV is exactly what FPI is. Idiots.
  2. Not sure what rock you've been living under but that is wildly inaccurate. And besides, your Indiana/Texas comparison is missing a whole lot of other key points like Texas having throttled Michigan while Indiana struggled and Texas having a schedule 40-50 spots tougher overall.
  3. That wouldn't matter to the morons who are arguing against Texas right now. Losses to unranked teams don't count, just wins over ranked teams.
  4. Lol that you think the MWC and AAC pull attendance numbers like the legacy Big 12 teams. AAC is averaging 24k with ECU leading at just under 38k MWC is averaging 25k with Fresno State leading at 40k Big 12 is averaging 48k. Legacy Big 12 programs (were there before Texas and OU announced their departure) are averaging 50k with Baylor the lowest at 43k. Literally the worst legacy Big 12 team has a bigger following than the best from the conference you named.* The Big 12 is averaging a higher attendance than the ACC. SEC - 80,168 Big Ten - 65,725 Big 12 - 48,205 ACC - 46,031 Independent - 38,549 Pac-12 - 29,455 Mountain West - 24,962 American - 24,323 Sun Belt - 21,833 C-USA - 15,471 MAC - 14,865 * - need to correct this, I forgot about Kansas, they're at 36k
  5. 2024 Texas is much more talented than 2011 Texas. 2011 Texas A&M was similarly talented to 2024 Texas A&M.
  6. Losses to unranked teams don't matter you should only count wins against ranked teams. /2024 Ole Miss apologists
  7. Some real insightful analysis in here. If everything goes as badly as it could possibly go we could lose. Y'all make Desmond Howard seem like a football savant. And all this pants-wetting about the toughest environment in the history of the world. Give me a break. As if 2011 when a much less talented Texas team beat a similarly talented A&M team when those yokels thought they were playing us for the last time ever didn't happen. Their stadium gets pretty loud. Ooh, scary.
  8. Yeah that was my first thought. I can only imagine the conversations after the firing. "Hey Coach, we would like you to be interim head coach beginning this week." "Hahaha fuck you."
  9. So Herman has sunk his career to the point that coaches aren't just getting fired for losing to him, they are getting fired for only beating him by 3.
  10. He's talking shit on the internet and shit is getting talked back to him on the internet. Who gives a shit?
  11. On conversion attempts touchdowns are 2 points and safeties are 1 point. Safeties are worth less than touchdowns at all times but they're still a score so that makes sense.
  12. Yes, games played so far and Ole Miss's remaining schedule (Florida and Mississippi State) is worse than ours (Kentucky and A&M) so it will only help us in that measure.
  13. Ole Miss has a lower full season strength of schedule than Texas.
  14. Ole Miss lost to two teams that are currently unranked.
  15. Yes, if Texas wins on the road at A&M then loses the next week there's no way they are dropped behind enough two loss teams not to make it.
  16. Rewatching the 4th quarter right now. The deep curl to Bond on the first play of our 4Q touchdown drive needs to be a bigger part of our offense moving forward. That will eat up the three high safety zone looks that we struggle against. Combine that with a 10 yard cross from the other side to occupy the middle hook LBs and it will be open against that look every time. Make it an option route if Bond reads cover 2 he can make it a deep out. If it's man then he's clearing for the crossing route.
  17. No the football committee has always talked about CCGs as an important 13th data point as they like to call it. They definitely matter. But if A&M loses there that's their 3rd loss against only one ranked win (Texas in that scenario). They're out if they lose again at any point.
  18. Agreed, I think they can do that but if they get walloped by 20+ then they may fall all the way out. Tennessee fell 7 in a competitive 2 score loss to Georgia. BYU fell 7 in a 3 point loss, if the Hoosiers get beat badly they will be down with BYU in the rankings as a one loss team, imo.
  19. To think of it another way, Texas has beaten all three of them in the same season more times than Arkansas has just beaten Texas.
  20. If you need Vince Young to win the national championship, that's on your coaches and the rest of the roster. One team in the history of college football has had fully weaponized Vince Young, yet every year someone wins the title.
  21. List of seasons where Texas defeated all three of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M: 1903 (also tied Oklahoma in a game, played them twice) 1906 1907 1908 (4-0, beat A&M twice) 1916 1932 1934 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1958 1959 1961 1962 1963 1968 1969 1970 1977 1983 1990 2008 (! - can't believe I forgot about this one) AI may someday take over the world, but today is not that day. @Hayduke asked the question, the correct answer is 27, AI told him it was 3.
  22. Fine I'll put together a list when I'm back at the house.
  23. That's not even close to accurate. 1968 and 1977 in addition to 1963, 1969, and 1970 without even having to think about it.
  24. I know I'm a broken record but the other thing is attacking the medium depth middle of the defense. From what I can tell that's a combination of Ewers and Sarkisian and it is severely limiting the offense. Defenses are able to essentially ignore that area and it is killing our run game and even the short flat stuff that we love as safeties and backers are completely unafraid to abandon the middle to crash the line of scrimmage and/or cover the outside thirds.
