Based purely on resume, we should be ranked #1. 

We beat the #24 team by 26 points. We beat the #12 team by 10 points. We beat Wyoming, who is about to be 4-1, by 21 points. Wyoming could very well be ranked next week. 

We have 2 maybe 3 double-digit wins against ranked teams.

Any word on JT?

No but being on the sideline in street clothes is concerning. On the other hand no boot, crutches or noticeable limp is good. I choose to believe Sark sat him for obvious reasons.

Yeah, smarter to just sit him. Take no chances.

Blue transfers out and becomes a #1 option at Kansas next year (hope he stays)

 

Congrats to this fella...

I also hope he stays, but if we keep Gibson and Clark, I'm not sure if he will, unfortunately. But he's stuck it out so far, but again, he already has Brooks and a frosh Baxter ahead of him. Maybe if Brooks leaves for the NFL (it would take like a 1600-1800 yards this season for it to happen), but other than that he'll still be behind. I'm personally not sold on Gibson, but I can see Clark move past him

No way that is accurate. If so, Holy shit! Kansas was #1 in the nation on 3rd down conversions (I think) amd went for ofer

Accurate or not, their badass QB was out for the game, so ...

I thought Bean was decent though. He just had to contend with a great D that adjusted.

It really looks like Sark spends the 1st half of these games almost like practices to see what is working, what is a dud, how the team handles different situations.  Those throws behind the LOS seem to be a Texas tradition, unfortunately.  We ran a 2 minute drill at the end of the half with 3 timeouts in our pocket; why?  It is absolutely maddening.

Sideshow Bert is a huge liability, really hope his inconsistency doesn't end up costing when it really, really matters.

Agreed

But I want this team to feel doubted so they lay the pipe to every team, and save the murder spree for tech on our way to the CFP and NC

Those stats are totally wrong lol

I didn't even notice the "previous two games" stats but nice catch on that!

324 yards over the last two games, don't pay attention to what ESPN said.

Ummm, Blue > Baxter

Wonder if Baxter is either still hurt or apprehensive about reaggrivating the injury. I’ve also been pleasantly with how hard Blue runs when he’s been given the ball this year.

Texas’s season so far has been a tale of two teams and this reflected both sides of that. On the plus side, Texas playing sharp can beat anyone. Downside, they can beat themselves too.

I will say this is another one I think Texas probably finds a way to lose, or at least take to the wire, in 2021-22. Team has legit flaws but you have to acknowledge the growth in resilience.

Enough about this game though. This season won’t be remembered for the Kansas game.

Let Hate Week begin.

Correction, we beat the #3 team by 10 points. You don't do that thing where you adjust the rankings as the team goes unless they like bottom out, because the only reason Bama is #12 instead of #3 or #4 is because we beat them. Otherwise they're undefeated and still highly ranked.

No way. Meatchicken trounced football blue blood Nebraska

I’m fine where we are. We will have a legit argument to jump both if we beat OU. We should pick up some more 1st place votes though.

PK is probably ready to face a QB he's prepared for. 

The triple option was giving Texas issues in the 1st half but they also weren't expecting Bean to be the starter. Daniels likes to scramble but I'm sure that was something they were going to utilize nearly as much.
