  1. Notre Dame is required to play a certain number of ACC schools every year, and that in itself will tank your SOS.
  2. As much as I would love to rejoice at the doom of OU, I distinctly remember thinking they were ruined forever in the 1997 and 1998 era and then almost overnight they won the National Championship.
  3. Seems to be a lot of whining about how Super Conferences suck ass from a scheduling perspective. Well no shit. This is always going to be a problem. This is why we shouldn't have these damn 16 team conferences when you only have 8 or 9 conference games. Fortunately we sort of delt with this problem with the playoff so ultimately you have to beat the top teams.
  4. It sets the losing team at zero and then shows how much the winning team won the success rate battle...or lost said battle for Texas and Georgia.
  5. That is that mysterious stat success rate that explains how you actually did better than the other team despite being outgained, outscored, and losing the turnover battle. A very advanced metric.
  6. Well I guess if you want to say their defense beat down our offense that would be accurate.
  7. Well hopefully we won't be in that position anyway. I just don't see a team who can't beat A&M and Kentucky winning the national championship. But I guess anybody can get hot at the right time.
  8. Because they are terrible and we should win convincingly. But seriously, a playoff team should be able to handle its business. I don't want to see Texas back into anything like we are Sooners or something.
  9. I wasn't physically at the game so maybe the asskicking wasn't properly communicated on TV. Anyway getting into the playoffs after losing to one of two shitty teams like Kentucky and A&M should be too shameful to contemplate anyway.
  10. We made mistakes and gave them short fields. I thought we could have won if we had played them again, I did not feel like it was some kind of ass kicking. Ah well. Doesn't matter. Which is the nice part. All these people bitching about how we don't deserve shit don't matter. We either win or we don't. Our destiny is entirely in the hands of our team. Very refreshing compared to the old days when those idiots opinions decided everything.
  11. WTF is a 'success rate'? We have the #1 ranked defense in the country. We have given up 12 TDs in 10 games. We have given up the least yards per game, and least yards per play in the county. I guess I am failing to see all the successful plays offenses are getting. Well good for them.
  12. Yep. Quinn is the starter and we are going as far as he can take us.
  13. Arky at least used to be something. Tech never was.
  14. And the British Army was full of Irishmen back in the day.
  15. Yeah these aren't the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s anymore. But they were one of our arch-rivals at the time and I still consider them a rival. Also I am old and I remember the 1980s games. If we go on a streak of beating them down year after year that might change. Or the mysterious and inscrutable forces of SEC scheduling have us not playing them anymore.
  16. Maybe. But there was definitely a pattern where we would build a lead and then start giving up lots of big plays to let the other team back in the game.
  17. Sure? How often did that happen last year when we did have Brooks or a healthy Baxter? Granted our defense was shitty...
  18. Sooner coached trash beating Georgia would shut them out of contention for anything right? Any particular reason we want that beyond pettiness? I mean I love being petty but just curious.
  19. But look at their ranked losses!
  20. Stanford winning means that they just need to lose to Cal next week and Florida State can finish in 17th place all by itself. I don't know if a team in College Football has finished 17th in its conference before, and it would please me for Florida State to be the first.
  21. I don't. Fuck Nebraska. What happened to all that substance you were showing contrasted with Colorado's hype? Where did that go?
  22. Wikipedia says it's a rivalry. But then Wikipedia also says that Texas-Rice is a rivalry. So I guess that doesn't mean much.
