    You might be on to something with this competitive balance thing. I've often been amazed at how balanced the current SEC divisions are.

    Same for aggies. They'll tell you even if they don't tell you.

    For what it's worth, I agree with you. Arch's film and stats don't support a 1.000 rating. That's not a particularly hot take so I don't know why people are negging you. That said, there's a lot of ground between the top player in the nation and a three star. Farrell is a moron and deserved to get crushed. Or better yet, ignored. Reasonable people, however, can debate what Arch's rating should be. His numbers are pretty mediocre. His was fantastic as a freshman - 2400 yards passing, 34 tds, and 6 interceptions. His production has gone down each of the last two years, though. Last season he threw for 1400 yards, 17 tds and 4 interceptions. A lot of that will depend on his team. Still, it doesn't scream number one player. On the other hand, Ketch's argument for why Arch deserves his rating is probably the best - Texas, Alabama, and Georgia have seen him work out and really wanted him and other guys want to be on his team.

    The dog who eats avocados video was okay, but the Simpsons quote was too much?

    Most teams are flawed to on one side of the ball or the other - OU, OSU, and Baylor last year were really good on one side and average to below average on the other. Georgia, Bama, and Ohio State were elite on both sides. I guess Notre Dame was good, but not elite on offense and defense. Those were unusual though. If the offense steps it up and plays like a top 10 to 15 offense, we'll drop a game or two but should still win the conference if the defense isn't putrid. The defense played well for chunks of time in most games. We just need longer periods of non-putridity.

    Baylor had a great season last year, but part of that was a favorable schedule and some timely meltdowns by opponents. They got Texas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, BYU, Iowa State, and Tech at home, where they were a much better team. Their road games were at Texas State (9 point win), Kansas (38 point win), Kansas State (10 point win), Oklahoma State (10 point loss) and TCU (2 point loss). ISU shot itself in the face multiple times in a close loss. Then OSU threw 4 picks in the conference championship game and somehow only lost by 5. I wouldn't pencil in a loss to Baylor just yet.

    I don't speak aggy. Could someone explain what they think "sliced bread" means?

    I'm sure Blacklab has been sued for less.

    Okay, UTSA's schedule was pretty putrid. Michigan State had the same dynamic though - they went 10-2 with pretty mediocre advanced stats and the 25th hardest schedule. Iowa State was ranked higher on offense and defense and 19th overall in SP+, but went 6-6 against the 39th toughest schedule. They found ways to lose... just not to Texas. On a related not, aggy went 8-4 versus the 48th toughest schedule.

    No, the metrics are opponent adjusted. Here's the description: F+ Ratings combine Brian Fremeau's FEI ratings with Bill Connelly's SP+ ratings in equal parts. Overall team ratings (F+), offense ratings (OF+), and defense ratings (DF+) represent each team and unit's standard deviation above or below average. FEI ratings (FEI) represent the per-possession scoring advantage a team would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent, based on opponent-adjusted possession efficiency data. SP+ ratings (SP+) are tempo- and opponent-adjusted measures of college football efficiency based on play-by-play and drive data designed to be predictive and forward-facing. Team records (Rec) represent results against FBS opponents only.

    Like momentum, knowing how to win seems pretty real. We had a better offense (31st vs 32nd) and defense (67th vs 75th) than UTSA. UTSA managed to win a bunch of close games and go 11-2 while we... didn't. If it makes anyone feel better, Nebraska had a much better defense than Texas (19th vs 75th) and about the same offense (30th vs 31st) and they only won 2 games. If our defense played like Nebraska's we'd probably have been in the conference championship game.

    Fuck around and find out what, exactly? That bringing in mercenaries and headcases to a shit hole like College Station may not work out? No shit. Did your sources also tell you water is wet? Of course aggy over promised and under delivered. It's kind of their thing.

    He totally looks like he's standing on a block of granite.

    It's pronounced, "Baxter." He's both one and three.

    Is it bad form to decommit and then commit to a new school the same night? I'm asking for a friend...
  19. Texasrocks
    So we should expect a commitment video within the hour?

    TEXAS QB TALK

    Texasrocks replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football

    I'm glad we have both, but I'd take Ewers over Arch any day. Ewers is a better athlete, has a stronger arm, played better competition, and earned the hype. Arch appears to be both really good and over-rated. It's pretty ideal for the next couple of years. We get Ewers on the field and Arch providing a recruiting bump.
  21. Texasrocks
    Okay, which one of y'all wrote that?
  22. Texasrocks
    In his defense, he probably hasn't seen his dick in years.
  23. Texasrocks
    How hard can it be to say, "Hi, I'm Arch Manning?"
  24. Texasrocks
    He could be a career backup and this would still be a huge pick up for Texas.
  25. Texasrocks
    Wait, so I should not listen to folks who thought Reggie McNeal was better than Vince Young and are convinced Zach Calzada/Haynes King/literally any QB wearing a maroon jersey is a Heisman sleeper? Whew, I feel better now.
