Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Tech gamed the system. Hocutt took a look at the league and CFP rules and said there’s no penalty for not scheduling a P4 team so he didn’t and they’ve rolled to 11-1. They ran into 1 team with sort of equal NFL talent in Arizona State and of course lost. They’re going to get smoked in the CFP, but they might not care. A Big 12 title and a CFP appearance is something they’ll talk about for a generation. I’m fine with 12, but everybody needs to play by the same rules. My proposal : to be CFP eligible, a team must schedule at least 1 P4 opponent and play a 9 game conference schedule.

The Florida secret sauce was Wilson, Lagway, and Baugh were all healthy at the same time and it happened to fall on Texas weekend. It hasn’t happened again this season. Thems the breaks. That said, everything except a SEC title game is on the table against Georgia and they violently shit the bed. Had to win that one to get everybody to forget Florida. I think the committee is going to say well Texas had their chances, but they didn’t capitalize and we’ll end up in the 12-14 range.

Yep their new gripe is that we’re piping in artificial noise. Their evidence was pictures of ABC boom mics in the crowd. I’m not Steven Spielberg, but the last time I checked book mics by their very definition are used to capture sound. These are truly some of the dumbest mouthfuckers on the planet.

I’ve watched a lot of bad football today, and I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re not going to get any help.

Inexplicable play call LSU.

Sweet Jesus LSU. I’m not sure if even Lane can save y’all.

There’s precedent, Florida State got dropped because of an abhorrent offense. But yes, I’d rather they lose.

OU should basically run the option the rest of the game. Unless it’s a screen Mateer is going to throw a pick or near pick.

They don’t play Georgia until 2027. The next year we also play Georgia. Borderline criminal. It’s possible we’ll play Georgia a 4th time in 4 years before aggy plays them in 2027. One meeting all time in the SEC, 2019.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
I’m not sure the Barstool ginger/weirdest guy at the company is reputable. He unironically looks exactly like Gimli.

tOSU @ Michigan - Fox
It’s a mental block at this point. Sports psychologists are going to be studying this fOSU drought for decades.

They are very old on their lines this season. They’re going to have to take their medicine next season and play young guys or go heavy into the portal again. Concepion has made it very clear he’s gone. Owens looked good and they’ll get him back. Craver too. They play some real defenses next year (inexplicably ducking Georgia again), so Reed could take a step back. I will say they evaluate well. Finding guys in the MAC that are good enough to excel in the SEC is not easy.

It’s straight seeding I believe. We’d have be to 10th to make it in because the likely ACC champion and the G5 team is going to be ranked behind us. Pitt beating Miami and USF pulling a miracle to beat BYU are the most important results today. Really need 1 team each from the Big 12 and the ACC. Notre Dame isn’t losing to Stanford.

Texas vs. Texas A&M - 6:30pm on ABC
It seems like Peter Burns has seen the light on doubting Texas. Booger has CTE and hates Texas because…? There’s a reason ESPN pulled him suddenly off of MNF. He should thank the good lord he landed on his feet and shut his mouth. Read the teleprompter and cash the checks. Dario continues to be a Sooner bitch. He’s feeling himself as the Mayor of Munchkinland after the Bama win.

They always bounce back fast. Should be in warp speed given they’re going to the CFP. They’ll be thanking us by tomorrow morning because they should host a CFP home game at Kyle Field. But tonight should be fun.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I’ll add Patricia getting another job to 2026 wish list. Having a good NFL DC with NFL HC experience is a cheat code in college football. And he’s just going to have another year to install his defense. If he’s still there, I think Texas is going to be a home dog.

I’ll chalk the UF game up to fluke. LSU fan was right, Florida plays out of their minds once a year. Unfortunately we caught it, and it was a gut shot. If those stubborn bastards fire Napier sooner, maybe it’s a different result. Texas should be tampering the shit out Baugh and Dallas Wilson.

USC would be good. They’re about at their ceiling with Riley. The key is to schedule name teams that usually finish at the back end of the CFP top 25. The committees and ESPN always quote a team’s record against the CFP top 25. But we’re scheduled through 2032 so we’re just spinning our wheels discussing it.

So Sark owns OU and aggy. Has a problem against Kirby and fOSU. I can live with that if the needle is pointing up. fOSU is off our schedule hopefully forever after next year. We could get a slight respite from Georgia in 2026. 13-3 in the SEC is pretty damn good. I think he’s our guy unless gets McVay gets bored in the NFL (kidding).
