The Georgia Bulldogs have had issues with the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings. In particular, with how this year’s selection committee has evaluated strength of schedule. At times, Georgia’s frustrations have extended to Texas, a fellow member of the SEC. It’s rare that one conference member may be critical of another, but as Paul Finebaum explained on The Matt Barrie Show, the Bulldogs have expressed that frustration, and that talk does hold merit. “For the Georgia people, and I’ve talked to Josh Brooks the athletic director who took a wild haymaker at the committee on Friday on our program and Kirby and all of the things that we’ve talked about,” Finebaum said. “They just looked at not only the schedule, and there was a little bit of talk about the Texas schedule from the Georgia people as well. I know that verboten in the SEC to talk about one of your brothers but I heard plenty of people say that Texas has had the easiest SEC schedule since Tulane was a member in the ’60s and I think you could back that up.” This is Texas’ first season in the SEC. That expansion has ended divisions and has, seemingly, led to some uneven schedules in terms of difficulty. Georgia, for instance, has to play five games against currently ranked teams, including a non-conference game against Clemson. To this point, Texas’ only ranked opponent is Georgia, a game the Bulldogs won. The Longhorns will also play Texas A&M. “But it was about that Clemson game,” Finebaum said. “They really are proud that they wrap their arms around playing schools like Oregon and Notre Dame and schools like that, even though last year, if you remember, they had the easiest schedule in the country. But I feel like they have been righted.” With Georgia’s win over Tennessee, the Bulldogs are, likely, in a comfortable position to make it to the Playoff. Now, the question is about being prepared for that deep run. “Kirby also talked about planning for the Playoff,” Finebaum said. “I mean, this is in the off-season. He essentially said we knew were going to lose a game or two. We just didn’t know to what degree. He was planning for a 16, 17, 18 game schedule, not the predictable 12 game schedule.” For the time being, Texas remains the top-ranked team in the SEC. That is unlikely to change without the Longhorns suffering a second loss. However, the next rankings will be revealed on Tuesday night, adding some clarity on how the selection committee views these teams.

Copycat world... better quality video

So how were the Razorbacks able to keep the Longhorns from producing the explosive plays that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is always seeking even though Ewers did take some shots downfield? With the benefit of two weeks to prepare for the Horns after a 63-31 loss to the Rebels that featured Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart throwing for 515 yards and six touchdowns, the Hogs turned to the three-high safety defense popularized by Cyclones defensive coordinator Jon Heacock in one of the most important defensive innovations of this century. https://www.burntorangenation.com/2024/11/17/24298967/texas-longhorns-offense-quinn-ewers-passing-game-arkansas-razorbacks

I hope Coach Choice stays at Texas for quite awhile... it's been posted in the past that he really enjoys being in the State of Texas with all of his ties to DFW area.

That's crazy that he gets fired after beating Tom Herman's team...

Yeah, lots of media narratives that Texas is overrated and better beat Kentucky & aggy. Galloway being a bitch about Texas @30:30 ESPN College Football Final | Reaction CFB Week 12: Georgia take down Tennessee; Colorado crush Utah

Alfred Collins was part of the Texas Longhorns team that played in Fayetteville in 2021 and fell to the Razorbacks 40-21. Three years later, Collins recorded seven tackles, two for loss, one sack and a forced fumble. In the fourth quarter, as Texas led 20-10, Collins slapped the ball away from Arkansas freshman receiver CJ Brown. Michael Taaffe pounced on the loose ball and possession was back to the Longhorn offense with 6:55 left on the clock. “Man, I just wanted to keep the ball back to the offense,” Collins said. “Do what I gotta do.” This play was crucial to guarantee the Longhorns would come out on top this time, and Razorback fans would be silenced in the stands rather than storming the field. “Man, I’ll never forget that game. That was an eye-opening game,” Collins said. “We had to show that we’re the best defense in the nation. So I feel like we did. I don’t want to lose to them again. No.” Five years into his Texas career, Collins might be having his best season to finish off strong. He's tallied 35 tackles and 12 sacks this year and this game marked his best performance. “I mean, Alfred Collins, what a game,” head coach Steve Sarkisian said, praising his veteran defender. With Texas heading into the final stretch of the season, with Kentucky and Texas A&M left in the regular season and the College Football Playoff, Collins' collegiate career will soon come to an end. His motivation is high, but not just for his own good. “I’m gonna give my all every week,” Collins said. “I love these guys, everybody in the organization, the whole team. I wouldn’t be here without them.”

Agree it's more about Texas preparation and how the Horns play. If we limit mistakes and execute, Texas wins.

Hell Yeah!!! 🤘 Thx ajax!

Dang... I have to apologize -- if Texas freakin' loses to aggy (just threw up in my mouth typing this) and then aggy loses in SEC CCG, then yes aggy probably misses out on CFP 😎
