  1. This is a good defensive staff we're facing. They know when we get in trouble Sarkisian loves to show misdirection but throw behind the LOS. He's going to have to change it up.
  2. Sarkisian seemed to use a run heavy first half plan to test their DL depth. Hopefully works like it should in the second half.
  3. That last throw to Bond is the most annoying thing that lots of QBs do. Acres of space to the right and he throws it upfield instead of to the side.
  4. To be fair, I truly don't want to see them in the playoff but that's because it would be bullshit.
  5. Some people around here need to see what actually completely shitty QB play in the clutch looks like. Ewers has been mediocre at times this season. He's never been this shitty.
  6. Last two drives Dart has been deciding where he's throwing it before the snap. He is shook, if they cover first option it's over.
  7. Ha, McElroy goes silent for a minute after earlier saying Dart is the one quarterback in the country you want on this situation.
  8. I don't think he was down. He was on the defender.
  9. Yeah it's almost like losses to mediocre and bad teams also tell you something about a team, not just their biggest wins.
  10. If Ohio State beats Michigan.
  11. Cignetti had them well prepared but they made some critical mistakes and now talent is taking over. They're a #15 team or so but will probably host a first round playoff game so that's awesome for them.
  12. Well that's not guaranteed yet.
  13. That won't change any of the extreme points for Texas. Miami is west of Boston and north of Hawaii. We've played the Orange Bowl, for the record.
  14. Ah I actually had them reversed in my head but you are correct (assuming stadiums haven't moved). That makes 1931 @ Harvard the farthest east for Texas.
  15. For Texas - North: @Washington 1975 East: @Harvard 1931 South: @Hawaii 1995 West: @Hawaii 1995 Next thread derail.
  16. Agree with the left behind guys, Big 12 football is still fun to watch and a quality product.
  17. If it's the same place then it's still the farthest west they've ever played. It's just not the first time.
  18. It's possible for there to be a 3-way tie of undefeated teams in conference play with these super conferences if they don't use pods to rotate divisions. Imagine that situation. One team will be left out because of a schedule they don't control and will be an undefeated power conference team that doesn't get a bye. And the team that loses the CCG will be rated even lower than the undefeated team that missed it because now they have a loss. Obviously this is unlikely to ever actually happen but if your structure makes it a possibility then your structure sucks.
  19. Time makes things fuzzy but Missouri didn't have their SEC years until the second and third seasons in the SEC. Their first season they missed a bowl game. But yeah, I don't see that happening for Oklahoma.
  20. Perhaps but he enabled me to shit talk Oklahoma and that's both my birthright and my responsibility as a Texas alumnus and fan.
  21. That is a terrible idea. The Big 12 has been a better football conference than the ACC for decades and is still a better football conference than the ACC this year even without Texas and Oklahoma (not that Oklahoma would be that helpful this year, man it warms my heart to have to add this parenthetical).
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
