They are very solid on offense. I don't trust this teams psyche after last week and don't really trust our defense (particularly secondary) in any event. 100% a game we could lose if team isn't focused on winning and definitely have my concerns that they will be after that beat down.

You said we've been a punch line for 2 decades completely ignoring we made the final 4 in back-to-back years. That's what I was referring too. It's a disappointing season this year. It happens. We probably should have seen it coming considering how much talent we lost. I'm not saying we would win hypothetical playoff matchups, but to answer your question, of those likely in the field as of today, we would be favored on a neutral field against G5, OU, Big 12 champ, ACC Champ and be within 8 or so everyone else. I obviously wouldn't trust this team against damn near anyone on the road which is where we would obviously play if by some miracle we snuck in. We got our ass kicked last night but people should listen to what Kirby said post-game. He said something to the effect that the margins are so thin you have to push your chips in and be aggressive. He did and they grabbed all the momentum and we had zero chance of recovering. We stop that 4th down and who knows what happens. But we didn't. It was a gutsy call and great play call. And then the surprise onside was a kill shot. At some point just have to tip your cap.

OU has won back to back games with a very low win expectancy. They haven't magically become a world beater. I think 50/50 they lose one of those 2. Still don't think enough happens for us to sneak in because of the way we lost, but it's not zero percent chance either. But regardless, this team isn't good enough or consistent enough to make a big run this year. I just want to hopefully win the next 2, with Manning continuing to take positive steps, and hope we learned some lessons on the roster and make some staff changes.

JFC. This is ridiculous. We've been in the GD semifinal back-to-back years. It's ok to be pissed off about last night and the season without going full retard.
-
You don't even know where the fucking game is being played. That is the level of discourse we have on this board LOL.
-
Arch is doing everything he can. 4 drops. Make a god damn play.
-
Everyone of these refs can fucking kill themselves. What an absolute shit show after the last drive. Seriously. Absolutely unreal
-
I mean they could have been called for at least 4 fucking holds so far. And we get that BS call on Hill. We're getting out competed and out schemed but if they can do that shit all night and not get called this is just how it's going to go.
-
Fuck these refs. Absolute god damn bullshit on back to back plays. Absolute fucking joke.
-
Defensive coaching staff is getting absolutely worked to start this game. 100% on that staff getting out schemed right now.
-
Getting doubled up in yardage and a 1 point game getting the ball back. D/ST doing all they can to keep yall in games.
-
That 4 week stretch away from home sucked (I think I saw longest stretch between home games in the country) but at least the well timed bye week helped us get healthy.
-
Like one of the dad's (who's daughter was there and thankfully fine) told me after doing back of envelope math on revenue the Eastlands took in annually and bitching about their lack of preparation "you would think they could have at least afforded somefucking satellite phones"

I think it should be one or the other. Either ATC and TSA get paid during a shutdown as essential employees or everything needs to just flat out close so there are real risks to a deadline so all the worthless politicians would never let it get this far. Because it's bullshit for all of these people we NEED to work to continue to show up without a paycheck. Saying this as someone currently on a flight to LGA. I thanked and chatted with TSA folks (minimal lines at DAL tonight) and they are hopeful and being told if bill signed soon they will get checks no later than Monday.

That's the thing. There aren't any sure things out there. I don't love Kiffen at all and would be very nervous but who else would you feel good about? I've said it before, but there really isn't a single fanbase consistently happy with their coach. Very few fanbases of 'top' programs have adjusted to the new reality. I personally hope Sark sees it through and pushes to win a title before leaving. Job here doesn't seem finished yet. I think we made mistakes this offseason that can be corrected to make a run next year, but as we've discussed, the roster parity these days is real and that's only going one direction.
