    How did they make the argument that Alabama should be in the 2012 NCG when they didn't even make it to their CONFERENCE championship game? People make up all kinds of stuff to justify doing what they want to do. "Eye test", etc. "Texas has squeaked by a few unranked teams and their loss is to mid-ranked OU. Georgia's only loss is to the conference champion and juggernaut, Alabama. Georgia is clearly the better team." The above might be absolutely true (I think UGA is better than Texas, especially with all the injuries), but it shouldn't matter. You should have to win the games and your conference, period. But "shouldn't matter" doesn't mean it won't matter. Let's say Oregon beats Washington, Alabama beats Georgia, and we win out. We beat Alabama, but do you think if Texas and Alabama are both 1-loss conference champs, Alabama would be the one left out because we beat them head-to-head?

    I certainly hope so. I'm not making the argument. I'm simply saying others have made the case that a 1-loss non-conference champion, 2 x repeat national champion UGA would get in over one of the 1-loss conference champs - with Texas being that team since UW/Oregon and Michigan/Ohio State are all currently ranked ahead of us. I don't agree with it and think it would be pretty heinous, but weirder things have happened. (Remember when Alabama didn't even make it to their conference championship game at all and still went to the Natty game in 2012? Yeah, they won it 21-0, but they never should have gotten the chance.)

    I should have quoted the post to which I was referring. It assumed an FSU loss, since Travis is out and they have Florida and Louisville left, making a loss likely.
  4. Hondo
    Got anything to add other than your faux aggressive, message board-tough tone? But yeah, you're right. OU scored with 15 seconds left. The record has been corrected to be technically accurate. All good now?

    A lot of people seem to think if Alabama beats UGA in the SECCG, then UGA will still be in the CFP as a 1-loss non-conference champ, blocking out Texas (assuming we win out). - Big 10 champ (Michigan or Ohio State) - Pac-12 champ (Washington or Oregon) - SEC champ (Alabama) + UGA It would be bullshit, but I could see it happening. Of course, once again, don't lose to OU on the last play of the game and it's a non-issue.

    ESPN has updated the conference championship games' participants since last night and the Big 12 game is still TBD vs. TBD. There must be some scenario where we lose to TTU and don't get in.
  7. Hondo
    Now we have to avoid the "we're already in the Big 12 CG" letdown game vs. Tech.

    Fake kneel, pop pass. TD.
  9. Hondo
    I want a TD. Because fuck ISU.

    Baxter has been getting a lot of criticism the last few games, but he's mainly been running the ball late in the game when everyone knows we're running. He's over 100 tonight on 15 carries because he's gotten the ball in a mix of situations.

    Y'all didn't think 23-9 in the 4th QTR was comfortable, did you?
  12. Hondo
    4th QTR and Iowa State has ZERO penalty yards. ZERO.
  13. Hondo
    We have a WR named Whittington? Who knew?

    Baxter. CAR YDS AVG TD LONG 8 69 8.6 0 21 Sark about to throw 15 passes in a row.
  15. Hondo
    Baxter has 7.2 YPC in the first half. Just an FYI.

    Whitt never came down in bounds. Bullshit call and forced us to burn a TO.

    "Quinn is holding the ball too long" No shit. They're dropping 8 into coverage and he can't read a defense to save his life. If his pre-snap target isn't wide fucking open, he has no clue who IS going to be open. The key to beating us is to play 3 high safeties and only rush 3, forcing Quinn Ewers use his brain.
  18. Hondo
    Safeties gonna cheat up on that slant and get burned deep. Watch.
  19. Hondo
    Yup. ISU has a history of knocking off top 10 teams. Getting jobbed and losing to them at home wouldn't draw much scrutiny.
  20. Hondo
    Been saying all season that Quinn Ewers cannot process information quickly enough. He has almost no pre-snap read and when he does, it has nothing to do with the actual defense. He just compares the defensive alignment with the WR Sark schemed the play for and little else. He can't see how the defense rolls or sits when the ball is snapped, only how they were aligned. Hate to say it, but he doesn't have enough mental horsepower to get it done. If Sark schemes the perfect play, he'll get it there. Anything else is a crapshoot.
  21. Hondo
    A slant? No way.
  22. Hondo
    1st half defense isn't our problem.
  23. Hondo
    Iowa State came to play
  24. Hondo
    LFG! TEXAS!

    9-1

    Yep. And it's nobody's fault but our own. Don't lose to Oklahoma on the last play of the game and it's a non-issue.
