  1. But have we scored 41?
  2. When was the last time Oklahoma won as an underdog?
  3. Meh. They don't look nearly the same. Everyone out here in Atlanta is doing the thing that we have for the past decade. The "Just win" thing where everyone knows any week can be a loss and it's just a matter of when.
  4. 1 Texas - best resume, best overall team, win over #12 2 Michigan (+1) - best defense 3 Washington (-1) 4 Penn State (+4) 5 USC (-1) - best offense 6 Oregon (+6) 7 Oklahoma (-2) 8 Florida State (-1) 9 Kentucky (+16) 10 Maryland (+7) 11 Ohio State (-5) - win over #19 very meh overall schedule though 12 Alabama (+4) - loss to #1 13 Washington State (+1) 14 Texas A&M (+5) - loss to #22 These four teams would not appear in a Power ranking, but deserve credit for being undefeated: 15 Air Force (NR) 16 Fresno State (NR) 17 North Carolina (-8) 18 Georgia (-5) 19 Notre Dame (+1) - win over #20, loss to #11, most difficult schedule to date 20 Duke (-9) - loss to #19 21 Ole Miss (NR) - loss to #12 22 Miami (-3) - win over #14 23 Missouri (NR) - very sneakily undefeated, but would be left out of power ranking 24 Wisconsin (-1) - loss to #13 25 Rutgers (-3) - loss to #2
  5. Yeah. My kids are having a blast right now.
  6. Ball don't lie.
  7. Another LSU call.
  8. Idiot coach. LSU has 39 secs to respond.
  9. Clock definitely didn't stop after that first.
  10. Isn't it a mistake to eat clock here?
  11. Bad holding call there. He had the defender buried.
  12. That call is gonna cost LSU the game. Ball don't lie.
  13. This might be Campbell's worst ISU team.
  14. 3rd and Orlando Oklahoma
  15. I still think it's up to Tennesee and Ole Miss to play spoilers. I'm also not convinced UGA is unbeatable, though. We haven't seen them play a complete game.
  16. There should be no roadblock. The rest of the SEC East might as well be Conf USA.
  17. None from what I can tell.
  18. I hate to bump this again,.but I randomly ran into this today:
  19. I feel better now that I know it's not the same guy who won all those titles with with the Lakers. 😋 We should just avoid him. I have heard people say just keep him occupied with Worthy and feast elsewhere, but I don't think that's how Sark operates. We will feast elsewhere but also move around and motion Worthy into favorable matchups all the same. The KU playbook does help account for their OL. Lots of running sideways/misdirection/option football. Their RB plays with vision and can punish mental mistakes. Like I said if we win here, we win easy. And if we can do it without sacrificing coverage, it's gonna be a blowout game.
  20. I certainly feel like this will be a telling game for our defense. Kansas has a diverse run game with a lot of read and option plays, which we haven't seen yet outside of a handful at Bama. If we can shut down the run without needing Barron or Jerrin around the box, the game is going to get very mudholish. I don't think our defense has played quite to that level thus far, but it's not too far gone to imagine. In the passing game, Kansas likes to spread the ball around and play matchups. They'll move people around to create opportunities. They have a diverse corps and will try to beat you with either size or speed. But they are definitely a run-first team. Their formula is to get you into the box, then find their matchups or throw screens to numbers. I don't think their passing game works consistently without establishing the run first. It's philosophically not much different than what Sark likes to do, but it's packaged differently. Jalon Daniels is somewhere below the passing threat of JT Daniels and somewhere below the run threat of Jalon Milroe, but that's a good enough combination to be the best QB we've seen. And this is the best offense we will have faced to date. They aren't as good as our offense, though. It's just not the same level of talent. ---- This will feel like a breakout game for our offense, but that's mostly because we've played good defensive teams to date. Kansas is somewhere above Rice, but, unlike Rice, we will have a gameplan specific to Kansas. They are aggressive upfront. I've seen a fair share of corner blitzes in their games. The DL is good and Kobe Bryant is a good player, but the rest of the defense is struggling. I saw the Havoc rate stat. It's not completely misleading, but the #1 rank feels like a myth based on competition. I'm not sure it even matters much against our offense which will be capable of punishing aggression and creating big plays. ---- Could we possibly lose? I mean, yeah. I'm not convinced Kansas will be ranked at the end of the year, but they are a good team and have some chance against any team. But is the 3-score line appropriate? Yes.
  21. "Like Juan in his home." It basically means acting like you own the place.
  22. With the exception of Art Baylor and UofH bleachers, I give zero shits. Not sure I'd do a home-home, but like a home-"home" at Jerry World or Reliant makes sense.
