  1. Huh? aggy just lost their 5* star QB commit less than a week ago.
  2. You would have a point if teams played even remotely the same strength of schedule, but they don’t. SMU’s current SoS is a joke. If they go 0-2 against top 25 teams this season without even playing a single top 15 team, they don’t belong in the playoff. It’s that simple. This is a truly absurd take. Their resumes look similar only if you ignore the loss column completely. IU and ISU’s SoS isn’t that far apart. ISU lost to two shitty teams. Indiana beat all the shitty teams on their schedule with the only loss being at the #5 team in the country. ISU hasn’t even played a single top 20 team this year. If you drop two games without facing a single top 20 team, how do you belong in the CFP against a team whose only loss is at #5? And going back to ELS, which is basically how hard your schedule is if you’re a CFP-quality team, ISU is 80th with only .64 expected losses. IU is 43rd with 1.03 expected losses.
  3. That’s the good stuff right there. aggy remains undefeated in games they haven’t played. I fully expect them to start adding 13 wins to their all time record moving forward.
  4. The committee has said a lot of things and their hit rate on following through isn’t great. I don’t buy that teams wont be punished for losing. Especially if SMU loses. Their SOS is around 75th depending on the metric you use and their best win currently is an 8-4 Louisville. The only team currently in the top 25 they’ve played all year is BYU and they lost. If they also lose to Clemson and have no top 25 wins all year, the committee is absolutely going to punish them. And that’s probably the right move. SMU doesn’t deserve to be in the playoff if they don’t beat Clemson this week. Their schedule has been easier than every other CFP contender and their ELS (expected number of losses for a team 2 standard deviations above the mean) is .6 (84th in the country), so they’re actually underperforming the record a playoff-quality team should have with their schedule currently.
  5. I would really love to hear what makes Elko a high floor HC. You just admitted the narrative of football guy who coaches up his players hasn’t actually come to fruition, and he’s not known as a good recruiter nor does he look like he’s good at hiring.
  6. If only bizzle wasn’t stuck in that barren, internet wasteland known as Vancouver.
  7. PK is here to shutout the offense and bang @South Austin’s mom, and South Austin’s mom is waiting until after the game.
  8. Why the fuck do we keep snapping it with 20 seconds left in the clock?!
  9. Got dam. I love Satya so much. This is such a brilliant schtick. Makes me laugh every time. So true. The guy who was literally puking his guts out against Notre Dame to the tune of 2 INTs and 3.3 YPA and who was 6/18 for 64 yards against a shitty LSU defense. That guy scares me to death.
  10. WTF Sark! Just keep running the damn ball and stay ahead of the chains.
  11. Seriously. So far he claimed Gerry says we’re getting Hilson (definitely not what Gerry’s saying) and he’s calling A&M a poverty school in NIL. Anyone dumb enough to waste their time reading and responding to Spider2ybanana deserves what they get.
  12. You’re confusing the House settlement (schools paying players directly) with third-party NIL money. Schools will have a cap on what they can pay to players, but not third parties. Currently, there’s no legal way to put a cap on NIL from third parties. It would require a player’s union and a CBA, but even then I wouldn’t expect a cap on what a player can earn through NIL because that would mean th schools would pay to buy up all their NIL rights (in addition to the currently expected $22 million annual number for House) . There’s not a single sport in the world that has something like that.
  13. And this tracks with the eye test. Elko tends to play things pretty straight on early downs and his DL all weigh 285+ so it's hard to run on them early, but it's not a great pass rushing DL because of that. Once Elko gets the offense into passing downs, he dials up a lot of blitzes and his teams usually disguise them pretty well. Elko either gets home or gives up a big play. However, teams that throw on early downs or have success running on them and stay out of obvious passing downs tend to do pretty well against Elko. I noticed Auburn had a lot of success with the hard counts getting the LBs and DBs to show who's coming and then it was much easier to burn their blitzes. Unfortunately, we won't be able to do a lot of that on the road, so it will be up to Sark's play calling and the team executing to stay ahead on early downs. Our OL has to avoid false starts and holds this game. Those will absolutely kill drives against Elko's defense.
  14. Same. Palou is far and away the best driver in Indy, and it would be really cool to see how he does in F1. I think he'd do very well and could be a top 10 driver on the grid once he gets some experience and has a chance to acclimate. Palou raced some in the junior categories in Europe and showed some strong potential. There's actually a F3 race where he raced in Spain against Albon and Leclerc. He burned up his tires, because he wasn't used to having nurse Pirellis since he wasn't full time driver in the series, but he showed his potential before his tires gave out. Leclerc won obviously, because he's God's gift to racing and a future WDC (no bias from me on this description). I'll see if I can find it. It would make for some good offseason watching.
  15. Going from FSU to UT as a punter would be like a RB going from Army to a Mike Leach Air Raid offense. Who knows? Maybe he just really hates actually getting to play.
  16. TLDR "Is there any way us being brokedicks doesn't result in us turning into Nebraska? "No."
  17. FIFY
  18. Holy shit Thorne is awful. Coleman was wide open that whole play. Threw it late and behind him when it should’ve been an easy TD.
  19. This game:
  20. This is what Thorne has done all year and why Auburn has so it won 4 games.
  21. What are you talking about? tOSU and Oregon are the heavy favorites for the 5 seed. Penn State doesn’t really have any shot at it, and IU will only be the favorite if they beat tOSU and go 12-0, in which case they’d deserve it.
