Close. You had 17. Gutwaggon had 12. the 15-14 score had a difference of 9 (x2 making 18) on relative and a difference of 9 on total score for a deviation of 27. So, you beat him by a lot. The relative score is x2 the actual score (I inherited this scoring system from before- but it does make sense. Intuitively I think 26-16 is a slightly better prediction than 27-14...

All the people who nailed the margin at 10. Of these the closest was @Gut Wagon. He wracked up 12 points. Will check to see if anyone else was closer.

Florida state is traditionally a cow college. Miami is a Johnny come lately. In our lifetimes you are correct on those but I’m taking a bit of a longer view. The entire post was wrong. Kentucky is also clearly a trap game but its senior day and they also suck, so we ain’t losing this game.

Which is how most rivalries are. Exceptions: Texas v OU, Michigan v Ohio State, UND v USC, Nebraska v OU (dormant). Those are the only (I think) rivalries between blue bloods based upon mutual respect (and hatred) that turns the course of entire seasons and decades in the ncaa. All other rivalries are like our rivalry with aggy- the flagship v country bumpkin rubes with embarrassment and irritation at stake vs national prominence.

Thats my point- yes. This might be the rare instance where the market happens around/without that guy. That happened in the Harper, Machado class. It’s unusual but not unprecedented.

Also we don’t need all hell to break loose. We need like 1 thing to happen out of 15 possible options. It’s probably likely at this point man.

USC could easily beat UND. At USC. UND lost to northern Illinois man.

Sec will get 5 if noter dame loses. SEC could get 5 if it breaks the right way and Indiana loses by 50 to OSU

That feels about right.

I don’t know man- he might be a market unto himself.

Nothings happening of any importance before the winter meetings. best case scenario is re-sign Kikichi and Christian Walker and a good LHH platoon partner for Chas in the OF. more realistic is 1 quasi important bat and 1 middling arm and the team is again a little worse than it was the year before.

Decent chance Boise ends up above the big 12 champ in the rankings. If they do Boise will be the 4 and the big 12 champ will be 12, probably.

Why do you think I have any interest in being fair to these cousin-fucking, meth-slinging, losers in this bullshit digs we now live in? All I’ve heard forever is about how hard it is to win there because the teams in the conference are so awesome- so we went in and gave the biggest bully in the conference, Saban, the biggest buttfucking of his Bama career. After that all I heard was, but Wulaw- it’s about the meat grinder. Won’t somebody think of the meat grinder? 1 year in and I am as unimpressed with that meat grinder as I ever was with Bama. These fucking assholes are all hat/no cattle and our default position to any interaction with them should be mockery and ridicule.

So- basically like Georgia the last 5 years?

Yes. They would have 3 losses. We’d go over them. Same as if Georgia loses to tech.

Last year after we lost to OU I think I had it figured out that there were 33 things that would have to all happen to conspire to keep us out of the CFP. Like 32 of those happened but we got the 1 result we needed (Georgia loss) and we ended up fine. a 10-2 Texas team might get left out of the playoffs, sure. But if even 1 of these things happen we are probably pretty much good to go: Aggy loss to Auburn or us Domer loss to Army or USC Ohio state losses to Indiana and Michigan Indiana losing by 50 to Ohio State (or losing to Purdue) Georgia losing to Georgia Tech ole miss losing to Florida or MSU TN losing to Vandy Alabama losing to OU or Auburn Penn State losing to Rutgers or whatever bullshit team they have left That’s it. To keep us out I think we’d need to see nothing happen on that list. And that’s just not really likely to have zero unsurprising things happen in something like 20 college football events.

It’s always written Sunday morning. Except that one time when I was so polluted I forgetted about it for like 3 days and someone else had a half ass game week thread (Florida game). that was my bad for sure.

Now go look at the other side of the ball.

Florida could do us a major solid this week and beat Ole Miss and give us some breathing room. Also, root for Army or USC to beat the Domers and that makes it likely we go 5 SEC teams instead of 4.

You and I are watching the same team in orange and the same one in blue. if I wanted to be mean to Kentucky (why bother?) I’d have spent some time talking about the shame of getting cucked by aggy I suppose.

First of all, I want to say- fuck you Arkansas- good to get that off my chest. We deliveranced your offense with our defense and did just enough on offense to beat you while crushing your hopes and dreams for 60 minutes, thinking you had a chance when you really didn’t. Twas nice. Next year I think we will probably just do the thing where we beat you by 6 TD’s and you can tell us which loss was more painful. Look forward to checking in on that in 365. Next up- Kentucky. Look- this game is why I think it’s easier for Texas to play in the SEC than the big 12. We have a second rate team that’s coming off a bye and a cupcake. I’m not particularly worried. If that was, say, Iowa State or Kansas State or Tech we would get a jihad of all jihads called down upon us. And that would basically happen 9 times a year. Kentucky? In Austin in November? Betting the vibe from the fanbase and the players is more of a “how cool is it to be here in Austin playing Texas?” than said jihad I referenced with the big 12. For a conference with a lot of talk about “it just means more” I don’t have the slightest bit of respect for “the meat grinder”. This is the type of game those half wits from college station used to talk about all the time. But but but, you don’t have to play a team like Kentucky, who has nfl athletes all over their defense as a mid tier game. Ok? We had to settle for being tech’s Super Bowl and getting schemed for 365 days by legitimately great X and O guys. We will see again this week a shitty offensive team with some athletes that we should easily take care of if we don’t self sabotage. I’m going to go ahead and look forward to the game in College Station in 2 weeks and overlook these generic and boring nothings. Now, I will be very excited when they are in Austin for hoops. Once we get that fixed. Which I assume is next on the agenda. But until then I look forward to getting through the 3rd and final completely and totally generically boring game with zero interest this overrated conference of half wits have served up (MSU, Vandy, Kentucky). maybe yall are more excited than I am for Big Blue to roll into town. I’d just like to see Ewers hit a deep shot or two- get up 14 early- and then point and laugh as they set offensive football back 3 decades.

I’d do that in a heartbeat.

Closed.

I am not good at that. I literally googled her name and hit images and they all look better than that. she’s absolutely stunning in casual pictures, performing, hair up. I have no idea what that one is about. Also, profile and backside is better.

She’s absolutely gorgeous. That doesn’t show that imo. To each their own.
