  1. Yes, I basically meant splitting along a yard line. The standard longitudinal split obviously won't work because of the upper deck differences.
  2. CDC should offer to host it at DKR and split at the 50 to keep seats even. I mean they'll say no but it would be awesome.
  3. Intro videos for visitors is an idea, that's for sure. Signing them up to get booed loudly.
  4. Yep this is a big one to look at. The hope from the Texas side is that Texas wasn't prepared because Beck is not a frequent QB draw runner. We should be prepared for it this time is the hope.
  5. Here are the fields for each season if the CFP had started with the current format. Please note that as I've mentioned before, the problem isn't this setup, it's the stupid super conferences. Every playoff before this year would have been awesome with very few stupid byes, etc. 2014: 1. Alabama 9. Mississippi @ 8. Michigan St. 4. Ohio St. 12. Georgia Tech @ 5. Baylor 2. Oregon 10.

  6. My ratings' picks I mean my picks are in. Hopefully they work as well as here as for the basketball seed draft but to be honest I don't like the way they look. But I can't stop using the numbers now.
  7. The Welcome to Texas sign is a nice touch for the kid who was born and raised in Cypress, went to school in Cypress, went to Texas A&M, and is now moving to Houston.
  8. Guaranteeing multiple bids to a conference is so stupid and anti-competitive that I'm sure it will happen. For fuck's sake if Ole Miss beats shitass Kentucky OR Alabama beats mediocre Oklahoma OR Alabama beats mediocre Vanderbilt OR Ole Miss beats mediocre Florida OR South Carolina doesn't get completely fucked by the refs against LSU then the SEC gets 4 teams in. Instead of rigging the playoff maybe have your teams not blow 4 easy chances and also maybe don't try to predict what teams will be good and fuck yourself by influencing an early game.
  9. SEC game was the only one without competition.
  10. I was wondering how quickly the novelty of playing SEC shit programs would wear off and be replaced by the realization that it's the same as shit Big 12 programs every home schedule except in different uniforms with even shittier visiting fans. Have to admit, 3 months was faster than I figured.
  11. One of them is their punter. You can't really match the experience a punter for a 1-11 team gets.
  12. They played them in 2019. That's it since they joined.
  13. Should be another scintillating 13-10 game.
  14. Maybe Mitchell comes back when he realizes our NIL offer of 5 bucks and a case of Diet Dr Pepper is the best he can find.
  15. Make it so the enter key (a return) goes one line instead of double spacing. Shift+enter is a workaround on a computer but on mobile it's not possible. Well I guess there's probably some modified keyboard app but I don't want to deal with that shit. If you set it up this way then everyone's fine because you can just hit enter twice if you want double space between lines.
  16. You really try too hard sometimes.
  17. You read too many recruit tweets.
  18. Man that would be smart for him. Replacing Payton Thorne. He might have found a P4 school where he would be an upgrade.
  19. I have always favored an automatic bid for any conference champion to make it a real playoff. However I don't think that ever happens in football, best we can hope for is any conference champion in the CFP top 25. So a 16 team field with straight seeding and automatic bids for any conference champ in the top 25 this season would be #16 Army @ #1 Oregon #9 Boise St. @ #8 Indiana #13 Miami (FL) @ #4 Penn St. #12 Arizona St. @ #5 Notre Dame #15 Clemson @ #2 Georgia #10 SMU @ #7 Tennessee #14 Ole Miss @ #3 Texas #11 Alabama @ #6 Ohio St.
  20. What do you mean by historically a major player? Because the current #1 team in the country checks a lot of those boxes and isn't a blue blood by any means.
  21. Lol Mack. Greatest fear was to be followed by a legend.
  22. Clemson is about the same team strength as A&M. Different ways of getting there but would be a pick'em type game at a neutral site.
  23. There's a reason the spread is where it is and why most places have it an 80/20 game for Texas, because that's what it is. I've got it in the 30-17 to 31-20 range on average. That means Texas has some wiggle room but not much. The more important things to discuss instead of worst case scenarios are things like Kelvin Banks's and Bond's recoveries, what the hell Jeff Banks does these days, and if Sarkisian is going to cut the crap with the 5 fakes in the backfield stuff.
  24. The point is that your analysis is fairly worthless. Yes, Texas will lose if they play poorly while Clemson plays their best game. Great. Now what happens if Texas plays their best while Clemson plays poorly? Something like 41-7 Texas. But who gives a shit about edge cases. We've covered them now so how about everyone stops crying about their nightmares?
  25. I admonished the vaginal caterwauling around here before the A&M game and your version is even dumber. "But what if we play as badly as we've played all year and they play better than they have all year? What then?" Scintillating analysis.
