It'll be interesting to see how Miami the referees handle this 2nd half.

SEC Championship Game - Scenarios?
No, because the winner of Game #2 would get a bye....although I guess that could be 3-in-a-row to us if we win.

SEC Championship Game - Scenarios?
Odds are good the SEC doesn't even have 4 teams with less than 3 losses. It's quite literally one upset away and there are a lot of opportunities.

SEC Championship Game - Scenarios?
ACC - Miami, Pitt B1G- Oregon, Indiana, Ohio St, Penn St B12 - BYU, Iowa State G5 - Army/Boise State Ind - Notre Dame That's 10 teams, so it's actually pretty easy to picture. It's not great that 2 of the 5 remaining SEC teams have non-conf losses.

SEC Championship Game - Scenarios?
Seems that we want Georgia to lose. There's no tie-breaker scenario where we want UGA in with us. LSU also matters a bit: 1) We want LSU in the tie-breaker if it's a Texas-Tennessee-aggy tiebreaker. 2) We want LSU to lose if aggy lose this weekend to avoid potential Texas-UGA-LSU tiebreaker.

Texas vs Vanderbilt - 3:15pm on the SEC Network
My theory is that Sark's offense scales with the run game. When we run the ball, it opens everything up and we are unstoppable. It was the same during his time at the Falcons. At Bama, they always controlled the LOS and had RBs.

Helm was called for another really iffy hold.

The First Loss of the Season
UCLA 2014 at Jerry World. They were bad. We kicked off twice and Nuehiesel's kid won the game for them. That was just depressing. I went to that game with a former player, and he was trying to keep it positive, which actually just made it worse.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Both schedules are in the realm of Miami and Notre Dame. So, yes, because I think those teams get in with one loss. But it's hard to judge in a vacuum.

The best part about it is that Mizzou is by far the worst ranked team.

SEC assesses Texas penalties for bottle-throwing
The story is only about the fans because it worked. If they hadn't reversed it, every talking head would be talking about the horrendous call.

SEC assesses Texas penalties for bottle-throwing
They were lined up ready to snap when the crowd delayed the game. It 100% was the reason the officials overturned the call.

Is it normal for a university phone to be coming from Santa Barbara?

CFB coaching carousel
This is to buy Venables more time, but it is also not unwarranted. It was a weird hire to begin with after he was fired at UNT. Definitely had failing upwards vibes.

JBJ Model Rankings, Projections
The way I produce top 25 is halfway modeled after the CFP Committee rankings. It's a combination of power and resumes, this early in the season the committee tends to lean more on eye-test than resume. I end up matching them closer towards the end of the season. Indiana sits on top for now, but their season is backloaded and I'm unconvinced their defense will actually hold all season. The same can be said for Miami. Oregon is the only team to weather a top 50 schedule thus far, but it's not exactly downhill for them yet. Notre Dame has the easiest path, but I don't think they get in with another loss. Playoff and conference projections. Texas still sits on top of the SEC, but not by much and it's the most wide-open conference. Model currently thinks it's Texas vs LSU in Atlanta, and those two plus Tennessee all have good position to make the playoffs. A&M and LSU this weekend likely shakes this up and determines which other team is in the driver seat. Georgia is the only top 10 team looking in from the outside, and that is mostly due to their schedule. Army and Navy are the top 2 G5 teams right now, and I think that's awesome. As far as projecting Texas, we are pretty equally likely to drop another as win out:
