  1. Notable things: 1) There are no SEC teams in the top 10 of power ratings. Maybe the first time ever. 2) Iowa and LSU are the only ranked teams with units in the bottom half (the Iowa offense and the LSU defense). 3) The B1G East teams have better odds to make the playoff than to win their division. The Big 12 is the least likely to send a team, but it's basically even with the PAC and SEC. 4) Liberty and Georgia play about the same schedule in terms of difficulty. At this point, Liberty is slightly more likely to go undefeated. 5) Oklahoma is the most likely undefeated team. 6) No teams actually project to finish undefeated. There's still a lot of season left.
  2. LSU being ranked feels like an inside joke that I'm not in on.

    There isn't one. They just don't call it against Texas opponents.
  4. Good game. Great ending.
  5. Oh wow.
  6. Holy under...Vegas would have had my money.
  7. Looks like a very missable noon lineup. Glad I took the kids to the park.
  8. Tech has a chance to run the tables until they play us. Not saying it is likely, but they are probably favored in every match.
  9. BYU scored 14 points on the FBS's worst team. They beat Arkansas by 7, Cincy by 8, and lost to Kansas by 11. Where are people getting that BYU is a good team?
  10. Army vs. Navy Alabama vs. Auburn Michigan vs. Ohio State USC vs. Notre Dame - Usually USC because it's one of the few games Notre Dame actually plays someone and they tend to need this loss to end their postseason discussion Florida vs. Georgia Miami vs. Florida State Cal vs. Stanford Oregon vs. Washington Arkansas vs. Texas A&M - because Arkansas is generally terrible Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss
  11. I guess I should have stayed up for the second half?
  12. Tomato, tomaytoe
  13. It's it crazy that I want this game? This actually sounds entertaining.
  14. Pretty sure the posted Michael Oher quote two pages back is correct. This time next week the popular narrative will be about the brutal retaliation by Israel. I don't know how Israel gets a "win" out of this or what the goal should even be. They could certainly reach 30,000 Gazan deaths trying to get somewhere, though. Sad state of things all around. Also, fuck Hamas. They suck. This shit falls pretty squarely on their shoulders.

    Who managed to replace Cooper Castleberry with Kevin Mar.

    It's not illegal if the block is with your hands. There are some helmets bumping into each other, but it's incidental. The receiver first made contact with his hands.
  18. This double-hold + face mask caught some eyes of officials.
  19. Scipio is correct in that it is dinosaur thinking. You used to squat on the 10 and let everything else go. Punters are better now - especially on shorter punts. The length the punt travels in the air is actually more determinative than the yardline it lands at for predicting wherher it rolls to be a touchback. If a guy boomed a punt from the 30 and it lands inside the 10 you probably still let it bounce because the punter has less control of the bounce and the coverage team has no chance. But you field short and high punts differently now.
  20. Yeah. I was thinking he was 4*. We offered them at the same time IIRC and I was the only one on the recruiting board saying the Donta needed to be a take by himself even if his brother went somewhere else.
  21. You don't follow recruiting do you? Donta had a twin brother that was TXHS player of the year that everyone was after. This wasn't a last minute grab. Everyone was after Connor Williams despite his ranking. Georgia even made a in-home push on him after he was thought to be a Texas lean.
  22. Williams and D'onta are bad examples. We were on Donta early and basically only Texas was after him. But he had a brother that was TXHS OPOY that everyone was after.

    Yes, as bad as the Big 12 is, the PAC is worse and I'm not sure that's even debatable. The B1G must pay the best because they poach good crews from other conferences. Pretty much every good B12 crew over the past decade left for B1G.
  24. It's all of the above. This is our first time losing as an underdog since 1996. When we've lost this game in the near past, we generally did not have a good team and lost a few more along the way. When we were the better team, we simply haven't lost this game in a long time. Winning out is always a tall order, but it's the only guaranteed way to the CFP now. And, yes, 12-1 Texas has a guaranteed ticket.
