    I remember Baylor beating aggy on a two-point conversion back when they were in the Big-12. I remember because I heavily celebrated the aggy loss.

    LOL I also remember this.  It was at Baylor and A&M was ranked and heavily favored. Dave South's call was the best ever. You hear him start the play call, pause, then you hear the dozens and dozens of Bear fans erupt in cheers and he is just silent for what feels like an eternity then mutters "Baylor wins"

  2. Going for 2 was absolutely the right call. As a Sooner fan, I promise you I would have MUCH rather they kicked at the time. For those saying ISU had the momentum, exactly. OU was completely rattled. OT lets both teams regroup and settle in. Take advantage right now.  Also, there weren't 0 seconds left on the TD. OU still has 3 timeouts and 25 seconds and a solid kicker. Even if ISU is 50% to win in OT (they aren't), they wouldn't be 50% to win the game by kicking, because OU will get a GWFG some percent of the time. 

    Plus, ISU will have to beat OU's offense in OT. They just have to beat their D to get the 2 point conversion, which is obv much easier.

    I think OU got on the bus to Waco at halftime thinking it was in the bag. Congrats to ISU on putting up a hell of a fight when lots of teams would have just lost 52-21.

  3. I predict hysteria Tuesday because Bama will be like 5 or 6 but the committee doesn’t “look forward” to anticipate no conference title for them. Teams will pass them when they win conference championships. I think they are done barring an extremely unlikely collapse by LSU which gets Bama the division or there aren’t four one-loss or unbeaten conference champs.

  4. Sooner fans being OK with improper benefits is very 'on brand'


    Ha I’m surprised it took this long. That said, I didn’t say I’m ok with it, but I understand. The scholarship, while valuable, doesn’t do you any good when your mom is being evicted or you need to travel home for a funeral or your family wants to watch you play in one of the most historic venues in college football. You can’t get that back in the future.
  5. You should go back to Oklahoma. Preseason rankings determine your win quality? lulz
    Anyway they went on to win it all so they really did deserve to be there, but not winning your conference (or even playing the extra championship game) then going to the CFB Playoffs is pretty shitty.


    When you play a team that is largely considered a top 5 team and you break their star player and put him out for the season, it should at least be considered yes. It isn’t like he blew his knee at practice after. I also don’t think it’s worth the same as beating an end-of-season top 5 team but is better than a random 6-6 win.
  6. It's the Alabama invitational, they are in unless they get two losses. 
    How hard is that to understand? 
    Did you not pay attention in 17/18 when Auburn beat Alabama and they didn't even play in the SEC title game and still got into the playoffs?


    Which 0 or 1-loss P5 conference champ was left out for Bama? Oh, that’s right, none.

    Also that Bama team lost on the road, not at home, and had two wins over top 20 teams plus annihilated a preseason top 5 FSU, breaking their QB in the process so they spiraled to 6-6.
  7. Beating 6-3 Pitt by a TD isn’t the same as fading a 2 point conversion that beats you against a sub 500 UNC.

    Penn State’s resume is better. Clemson is a better team. I think the delta between resumes is bigger than that between team strength.

  8. I think you're overlooking the fact that Iowa and Michigan suck. 


    They don’t “suck.” I weary of this silly mindset that 4 or 5 of the 130 teams don’t “suck.” They are among the 20 best teams in college football and dwarf any accomplishment that Clemson has this season.

    “Not elite” “sucks”.

  9. They look like the best team so far. LSU has the best resume, even downwardly adjusting for how mediocre we've turned out to be.
    Clemson has been pretty underwhelming but putting Penn State ahead of them is pretty much trolling at this point; Penn State hasn't done jack shit. 


    Penn State won at Iowa and beat Michigan.
  10. I actually thought they did a quite good job. My quibbles - I would have OU ahead of Utah (obv) and I think ND is a couple spots too high. But I think they didn’t just sort by record and did a good blend of “eye test” and pure resume. Minnesota is where they should be. They will be fine if they do what an actual top 5/10 team should do with the rest of their schedule.

    Takeaways:
    If Clemson loses they are toast barring huge chaos.

    Bama losing to LSU puts them on shakier ground than I would have thought.

    People will end up losing their minds because teams drop while winning because they reevaluate the entire resume. Georgia right now has better wins than some of the other one loss teams. As that gets evened out, the S Carolina loss becomes bigger. In UGAs specific case it doesn’t matter because if they win out they are in and should be and if they lose again it will take chaos.

  11. Both hands are close. I like the K2 jam/calloff much more if we have Axdd just because we are so solidly fucked if he has the nut draw. Plenty reasonable tho. Deliciously won with the king lol.

    On the AJdd one, we can freeroll a jack by jamming but is the jack really folding to a river jam on a diamond? And if we jam they may fold a flush draw that we instead stack by calling. I lean call for those reasons.

    Yep.  I said this on the B12 thread.  There are 7 Top 30ish teams in this conference all playing a round-robin.

    The voting media isn't going to figure that out.

    In Sagarin, % of teams that are outside the Top 50:

    AAC: 50%, 6/12 - tougher than the ACC??
    ACC: 57%, 8/14 - unreal bad for a P5, made worse by them also having #s 40, 43, 47 and 49. 86% of this conference is 40th or worse!!!
    B1G: 43%, 6/14 - 7 top 25 teams make this league super polarized, as opposed to just awful like ACC.
    B12: 30%, 3/10
    PAC: 33%, 4/12 - also have 42, 45, and 50. Only P5 with no Bottom 50 team though. Better than it has been in a long time.
    SEC: 29%, 4/14 - also have 44 and 46. Only 2 gimmes, but both are more than 10 spots lower than Kansas, so yeah. West still stronger at the top, but divisions more balanced than in prior years, which had previously created the same inflated records that the imbalanced ACC and B1G schedules (and awfulness of ACC) are doing this year.

    Huh, K State is the only 2 loss BXII team in the poll. 

    Well, they are the only 2 loss B12 team, so yeah.

    The imbalanced schedules in some conferences along with piles of awful bottom feeders really have some misleading records. I see people wanting Indiana ranked. They haven't beaten a team in the Top 50 of FPI this season.  

    In Sagarin, SEVEN B12 teams would be the 2nd best ACC team. Five B1G teams would be the 2nd worst team in the B12 (well Rutgers would be the worst).  Five ACC teams would be the 2nd worst team in the B12 (well Ga Tech would be the worst).  

    The B12 teams have to play a top 30 team 70% of the time, while teams like Minn and Indy have fattened up on teams outside the top 50 entirely. And b/c of the parity, the B12 teams stay just out of the rankings, making the schedule look much easier than it is.

  14. I think you gotta call there - Would put him on overs, probably cowboys, but I also got destroyed tonight due to impatience and not catching a pair over JJ in 2.5 hours of play, so wtf do i know...


    You think he probably limp-called KK four ways pre? I definitely don’t. He likely has a 9 but wjth the busted flush draw we prob have to call but we are losing well over 50% of the time IMO. If the river put up the 4 straight and 3 flush and this guy donks we can probably fold though I usually spite call anyway.

  15. the elusive quad post


    Yeah JFC sorry all. Tapa was giving me an error but was also posting. And then has no delete option and yeah. I normally save my quads for the poker table and golf course.
  16. just because john lewis is in charleston doesn’t mean he isn’t cooking texas bbq.  is he doing good business?


    It was definitely Texas cue even though not in Texas. Shiner Bock and Austin Eastciders available at the bar. Place was hopping. We told our Lyft driver to hit it up since he mentioned how great we smelled haha.
