'23 College Football season thread

Lol what is their deal with not running the ball. Same with Tech.

They did at the point in the game when Malik came in.
Honestly I think the Oline can’t handle any new wrinkles in the way the Dline sets up and we run it well mostly when the other team is exhausted. It’s happened in every game 4th qrt except OU where we ran the ball well and lost in a shootout of sorts but were lucky to even be in the game after the 1st quarter.

Doesnt Tech have a good number of injuries?
BYU only got like 280 yards on them?
Last year UT had zero injuries on the Oline during the season. No one missed a game iirc. That’s just lucky.

It’s also possible Sark is enamored with passing intricacies. Until the game absolutely forces running. Definitely weaknesses showing up in his game planning. Ex. Red zone and short yardage was terrible until he decided to use Savion Red this game.

[GAustex]

Ewers out for a while
Malik time
Great

[rjv]

Mack's #10 UNC losses to previously 1-5 Virginia. Texas should at least leapfrog them.

they ate the poisoned cheese.

Would be nice to have Catalon back asap

Kansas beating OU 26-21 with 3mins to play in 3rd Quarter.

After Texas struggled with them quite a bit.

[leemajors]

Can't believe they cut that OU/KU feed so early to go to Oregon on Fox

It's on FS1. Maybe some contractual obligation.

[MultiTroll]

KU running back made dumbfuck strategy error to give OU a solid final chance at the endzone.
Or maybe dumbF coaches told him to score TD.

Guess they didn't watch Patty Mahomes a few weeks ago to show how to do the obvious.

All good for KU as they pulled it out.

[MultiTroll]

KU db lucky his tip of the semi Hail Mary went backwords up in the aire just enough to be out of the grasp of OU receivers.
Dangerous tip he could have just knocked down.

Texas goal line offense is embarrassing.

Sooner wagon down. I repeat, the wagon has fallen.

[pgardn]

Texas goal line offense is embarrassing.

Sark does not know his team as well as he likes his plays.

Pulling #76 Hayden Conner on the goal line is not a good idea.
The guy is an especially poor run blocker. His backup is a very good run blocker (but needs to learn pass blocking so sub him)

I cannot believe Sark has not figured out to keep feeding Savion Red on short yardage. Red was 3-3 on 4th and 1 against Houston WITHOUT good blocking on 2 out of the 3 plays. 5’ 10” 215 pounds of pissed off running does the trick and Sark has not figured it out yet. And I don’t get it.

[pgardn]

Sadly, Texas doesn't control its own destiny. Have got to root hard for some upsets.

You only need to root hard for ONE game if UT wins out.
OU to beat Ok St. IF ok st loses tonight its ALL in our hands.

The way UT is playing though, winning out will be extremely difficult.
These Big 12 teams have know our weaknesses very, very well imo.

[MultiTroll]

Can't see how Texas can leapfrog OU who beat them.

[MultiTroll]

Deons magic is wearing off.

Still super impressive what he has done.

He'll get a bunch of top transfers next year.

What, it's still the 4 team CFP this season?

FFS those greedy losers. :pctoss

[pgardn]

They would play each other in the Big 12 championship if UT wins out and OU beats ok st.
Assuming OU wins out as well.

As far as rankings tomorrow, who knows. UT fell behind in at least one week to Alabama who UT beat soundly so … yeah…

Oh good. I had meant this upcoming week. But since they will likely play each other again, DGAF who the sportwriting idiots vote above whom this week.
I still think OU should be above Texas but, it will all work out.

Alabama still lurking.
Had a semi insider tell me Nick Saban is taking over much more of the decision making he had delegated to his Coors because he is tied of all the phucks ups the last 4 years.
He's been allowing phuck ups going all the way back to Lane Kiffin and Sarkisian, but now that the 2 year drought is in effect he ain't playin no more.
Baby faced Notre Dame O Coor is not impressive at all.
And Bamas traditionally strong OLines have become average the last 2-3 years.


yep
Just pathetic those grifters put it off another year.

I hope UT plays OU again but I don’t think it’s likely.

I totally don’t get how Gundy can pull this crap off. It’s fairly amazing.
And UT if VERY beatable.

At least between OU and Tex if either of them win out they will deserve to go.

Yes, one loss Texas (best case scenario) still doesn't guarantee a spot in the CFP. Texas needs teams above them to lose against teams other than other top 5 teams. Could easily see Washington losing to USC next week.

Last decade or so the SEC one loss teams have been given heavy preference.
Pretty damn hard to argue with that in the past. Bamas 2020 Chip being the latest.

But with chinks in the SEC armour aplenty, perhaps it will go elsewhere.
TCUs abysmal 65-7 drubbing didn't help.
Altho their ref aided squeaker over the Michigan Retards in the semis was huge.

Did you see 4 and 2 for BYU and a UT d back lines up about 9 yards off the WR?

BYU makes the throw over easily, first down!

WTF!

I don’t want to see that in a big game with everyone watching.
Thats just… horrible coaching? A scared defensive back? What?
It’s like turning stupid naked in front of the world.

The number of mistakes still… I’m baffled. Yes there is talent. But not knowing your team and total bonehead simple alignments.
I can play 9 yards off someone, I can do that on 4th and 2… I am very confused about many things about this team.

Thankfully, I really don’t think I have any worries about getting embarrassed in a playoff as we won’t be there.
Man I just don’t know. The “beauty” of college football?….

One of the hugest historical Can a team Leapfrog a Team that Beat Them was......

That Miami team with a pussified schedule while Notre Dame Lou Holtz had a brutal schedule but.....
Miami beat Notre Dame that year.

Think Norte Dame had beaten like 5 bowl winning teams, back when you had to have a good record to get into a bowl.

I would likewise give the nod to Texas. Unless Bama pulls off some spectacular wins.

Lets hope it doesn't come down to Bama and Texas running 4-5 after the last game of the reg season. :lmao

[pgardn]

KSU rolling Houston

KSU is a team who has a running QB.
They will give our D tons of problems, just like Dillion Gabriel unless we really tightened things up.
Also I think they play that 3 safety D that gives us problems… like Iowa State.

[pgardn]

KSU gonna drive ut cause that is what they do

This is funny.
UT has won the last SIX in a row?
You are living in the early mid 2000 teens?

THIS YEAR’S game is gonna be very tough as KSU is playing very good football and UT is playing a one start QB against a defensive “3 safety who do I block?” scheme that Sark has trouble with.

Should be interesting though. I am really curious to see how Malik handles this game. And how Sark play calls for him. I think this may require a simple approach. Possibly run the damn ball 6 Olineman stuff. Make KSU declare what they are doing on defense so the game gets simple. Empty backfield will also make KSU declare what they are doing as well. So possibilities of simplifying the game vary. Malik needs to know quickly what the play will be and if it’s not there throw it away. Not sure if he even needs to go through a lot of RPO type reads. Thankfully we and me are not paid to do this. Sark offense can get complex. He likes all his receivers and good RB and TE. Possibly too many toys to play with imo.

[GAustex]

I think we know why Murphy was the backup to start the season.

WOW, missed FG on the easiest attempt possible.

America’s coach has lost his luster

[pgardn]

Overtime... Texas is one of the worst redzone offensive teams and K-State is one of the best.

I completely dont get the K State coach.
Malik was cooked, no confidence.
How was UT going to score a touchdown in overtime with Malik at QB at that point in the game?

Maybe he thought he had a bunch of good goaline plays when they were first down at the 5 yd line....?
In other words, I believe KSt. had a much higher probability of scoring a TD in overtime so just draw it out, take the FG on 4th down.
UT wont score a TD any series in OT.

K St. worried about their FG unit?
Does he have an explanation?

Edit: I recorded the game for viewing at night. I cant sit in front of a TV that long. I run through the commercials so I might have missed some explanation from the announcers as well.

[pgardn]

America’s coach has lost his luster

I think, if you are talking about Deion, that he did not understand the importance of OL and DL play.
Too worried about the show positions, which they are good at.
Except Deion is sacrificing his son at QB. This younger Sanders is feeling the pressure so much its now got into his head. He has started to have convulsions in the pocket that collapses on him. Throw the damn ball out of bounds kid! And Quickly. Everything passing needs a degree of quick. You dont have time unless you scramble 59 yards straight back and run around endlessly like a street game. He has tried this and most of the time it does not turn out well now that they understand his tendencies.

I just see him quitting after his kids are done. Deion seems to go through too many highs and lows. Takes a mental toll. Get the damn cameras out of your locker room. That would be a start.

[pgardn]

So we are gonna have a 2 loss team in the Big 12 Championship game? odds?
So thats odds that UT AND Ok St. go undefeated the rest of the way.

The Big 12 this season and the new fresh teams they have brought in?
Make up 4 of the bottom 5? Ouch...

It was a historically bad call to go for it on 4th down there (especially 4th and 5 when all they could really do is pass or QB sneak). I couldn't believe they tried but I was pleased when they did because I knew that was Texas' best chance to win. And give Texas defense credit for holding there. They had some shaky moments but stepped up.

[DMX7]

USC defense reminds me of the Manny Diaz era at Texas except even worse.

He gone. USC fires defensive coordinator Alex Grinch today.

[pgardn]

Why does Maliky never tuck it and run?

He is mud slow. He is a large human being who cannot accelerate well. If he is in an open field he can run in a straight line at a constant slower speed. On sneaks he might be able to get a yard via his mass falling forward.
Malik will need a wide open field. He had green acres ahead of him twice on an option and handed off.
No one on kstate was worried.

All black people are not fast. Manning would absolutely clobber him in a sprint, not even close. Quinn can actually change directions slightly in an open field and is faster. No one would ask this if Malik was white, he would be a large lumbering load. ( 3L)

[pgardn]

Same D coordinator at OU he brought over? What was OUs huge problem? Defense.
I guess Riley wants the ball back quickly after the other team scores so he can put up huge offensive numbers.

I couldn't believe they tried but I was pleased when they did because I knew that was Texas' best chance to win. And give Texas defense credit for holding there. They had some shaky moments but stepped up.

Rewatching the play it was a very good defensive set up.
They started out in what looked like press man to man, which was what the K State Qb said the play was called for.
UT Then switched to a tight zone, they disguised the defense. Ryan Watts #6 CB did a fantastic job of selling the man to man look.
You play the zone by giving the WR the inside or outside and another player pops into that position. On the goal line its usually involves taking away the outside and then looking for a guy trying to run behind a slant in going out wide. It worked really well. The 3 plays before that were outstanding, 2 of which UT correctly stopped the QB looking for the QB draw. It really was great defense. So got to give the D coord, PK, credit for that.

This game had a lot of coaching decisions in it. K State played man to man to start daring Malik to throw. And they did this with Worthy and AD Mitchell as UT wide outs? that is guts. And K state got absolutely burned by Malik. Then they K state went back to the amorphous 3 safety look and Jefferson got very confused. This is where he was intercepted and K state dropped 3 more.

[pgardn]

Sounds like Quinn Ewers is day-to-day. I don't want them to rush him back for TCU (unless he is like 90%+) even though we could use him.

Its a tough call.
TCUs defense is not that good.
Especially their run D. But we have tried to pound the rock before early and it works for a while until the load the box.
Then we have to wait until the 4th quarter for the opponents defensive line to get totally exhausted. Meanwhile, the other team makes a comeback or stays close.
We are so inconsistent within a game.

It so amazing thinking back to the Alabama game and that ~7 min drive in the 4th quarter to end the game.
We actually had a 10 pt lead and rammed the ball down their throats and made their fans leave early in a night game in Tuscaloosa.
Not many teams have accomplished this.

I'm thinking less about speed and more about power. You would think this guy would be perfect for the tush push with the tree trunks that are his legs.

[pgardn]

I'm thinking less about speed and more about power. You would think this guy would be perfect for the tush push with the tree trunks that are his legs.

You also need a strong center and two strong guards. You need to be really good at taking the ball under center. Timing between the entire line and the snap is essential.

UT does not have a powerful center nor a powerful left guard as starters. Their RG is very powerful but is a redshirt freshman and more prone to mistakes. (The dreaded motion before the ball is snapped) UT has shown to be very inconsistent the few times they have taken the ball under center. So far the best short yardage package involves the RB Savion Red (now 5 10" 220 lbs) taking the ball from a direct snap and picking a slight crease to find so he can barrel through.

I think this is what is cool about college football. Things that are easy for the pros are often times adventures for college teams. Especially for the oline when it gets loud and the defense is screaming defensive calls at the same time. But anyone who watches UT has to be worried about short yardage runs. It has not gone well. Savion Red has shown to be the most reliable but he is 4 or 5 deep on the RB chart. I dont think Sarkisian has faith this package will be a sure thing.

[MultiTroll]

UT should close the 3 reg season games easily, right?

Even Conf Champ game might leave them outside of the Playoff tho.

Tough year. Need to win out and let chips fall.

You need Bama to beat GA to make the Tex win seem more impressive.

Hmmn i thought Florida State had some studs.

10-0 lead to 13-10 deficit. But they did just settle for the tie field goal.

Florida State Safety what a massive phuck up. :lol

About the only way you can phuck up the game is to give up a one play 75 yard score.
That you could have easily conceded the 30 yard gain and tackled.

You know, be a SAFETY.

Travis said, "It's really big for me, it's big for my family. Going to my brother's baseball games when I was 10 years old and hearing the fans, what they said to my brother, that always stuck with me. The fans are not too kind, but at the end of the day, I'm thankful to be a Florida State Seminole, to go out and represent this university, go out with my teammates and compete week in and week out. I'm not a fan of Miami at all, and I'll say that for the rest of my life."

Both sides in terms of Rush, have underperformed. Running the ball and stopping it is effort

FSU has weak linebackers except for Deloach. Whom is really a classic free safety.

Miami & FSU are arguably LB U. Lewis, Brooks, Marvin Jones, Vilma, Sims, Telvin Smith, Dan Morgan.

Seminoles have so many. Boulware, Cowart, Bradham, Timmons, Watson, Reinard Wilson

Actual quote from the press conference today regarding Jimbo's monster contract extension a couple of seasons ago: "It was the right decision at the time."

What an absolutely over the top maudlin display of self righteous bullshit.

Absolutely embarrassing. The one thing I can 100% confirm and acknowledge is that Michigan Wolverines students and alum and fans are pretentious, self-righteous, arrogant d-bags. It’s the one thing they share with Ohio State fans. As a Michigan fan and alum, it makes my skin crawl. I despise a good majority of Michigan fans. And I love the University of Michigan.

I wanted Harbaugh fired after 2019. I was already tired of him. I only tolerated him the last couple seasons because the team had been playing well and he started to shut his mouth and stayed out of the spotlight much more. They won’t do it, but I’m cool with him being gone after the season. And I don’t even really care if they cheated or not or how much they knew. I figure a lot of programs either cross the line with that shit or tip toe pretty close. Don’t even get me started with how most major programs were with recruiting and impermissible benefits pre-NIL. All those motherfuckas was doing it.

And I don’t agree with how the Big Ten handled it mid season. But as you mentioned, it’s the self-righteous bullshit. Act like grown men. Whatever happens, pull up your big boy pants, and take you’re damn medicine. Enough of the acting like a victim or martyr. Crying in the post game. Doing it for you coach garbage. Just take it. Win the games, shut up, and let all the shit play out. Stop being over dramatic bitches.

The above being said I absolutely love the idea of Michigan being a powerhouse again.
I also like this University and appreciate that college football is better when Michigan is a player in the championship scheme.
So I am a bit torn. Wish they would be great with another coach I guess. I cannot speak to the fanbase. I thought Ohio St. had the more seeemingly despicable fans. I guess this is a subjective generalization as I know Texas has a bunch of self entitled rich kids as fans as well. But they can’t be totally obnoxious as Texas has been mediocre to bad for such an extended period of time. Very hard to hang with a team who has unlimited resources and can’t seem to get it right. And the generalized excuse of “bad culture they are soft” is used for so many teams that have means and can’t get it right. It’s a useless excuse Imo. If they win, “winning teams find a way”, if they lose, default to “soft culture”. I would appreciate more insight that involves football reasoning. Jimbo Fisher and ATM was pretty easy Imo. Harbaugh threatening to go to the NFL each year and Michigan getting him back along with stable recruiting is very perplexing. Michigan is supposedly going to have the most players drafted this year. The turmoil does not seem to matter. These kids and especially their parents, want to know who their coach will most likely be for three to four years.

So Michigan as a school and how it bleeds into sports fandom is rather an interesting dynamic. I’m older than most on these boards. I went to Michigan in the 90s. I’m in my late 40s now. Growing up, Michigan was always viewed as a premier academic school, certainly much better compared to Michigan State. Required better grades, higher test scores. Ultimately it played to the egos of students that went there, feeling superior to MSU students, and really all other schools that weren’t Ivy League. Total douchebag superiority complex. There were sweatshirts on campus with shit like “Harvard, the Michigan of the East.” Total dumbshit that fed into the obnoxious attitude. And shit like well Michigan is like the only non Ivy League school that had a former US President.

The football program for the longest time was the winningest football program in the country. It may have changed a few times with Norte Dame. Idk who it is now. But forget that Michigan started playing football before anyone else, like in 1495, a few years after Columbus. Playing in the 1800s against schools like the Pilgrim Sisters of the Poor, winning 2-0. It’s so stupid. Like Lakers fans claiming the Minneapolis titles. Then there’s the Fab Five and how Michigan students try to claim how they changed basketball / hip hop culture. Not Chris Webber and Jalen Rose and those guys. No they didn’t do it, the school changed basketball culture. The fuck. Then Charles Woodson winning the Heisman as a primarily defensive player. Then what do think Tom Brady’s NFL career did for Michigan fan shit talking? Oh boy. Motherfuckers got unbearable. If I weren’t a Michigan fan and alum myself, pretty sure I’d hate Michigan because of their fanbase.

Anyway, closest college sports comparables I can think of are Notre Dame football fans and Duke basketball fans. That’s the level of obnoxious self-entitlement and pompous self regard. And I say that very openly and honestly as a “Michigan man.”

The fact that UT has actually won these games is impressive to me compared to last year. And Michigan had a very tough time stopping TCU. They had to play from behind.

UT has not learned how to get 7 OL ready to go to the NFL... go figure.
And honestly Michigan does not have to play exotic offenses. Big 10 is not very creative to try and get athletes in space. The Big 12 has to do this. The big 12 has excelled at creating offense with mediocre OL. Some very creative offensive coaches have been in the Big 12.

Rumor for the board:

ATM has most likely chosen Traylor from UTSA.

The 3* defensive linemen, Byron Murphy and TeVondre Sweat of UT, gave the 3* lineman of Iowa St. a punch in the mouth. 9 yards rushing for ISU.
Dont let me forget 3* lineman Barron Sorrell either for UT. Unfair matchup of 3*, go figure?

The ISU lineman that mouthed off got set on his butt.
Why ISU let that get put up for all to see and here was absolutely ridiculous.
As the game wore on UT just mauled ISU on both fronts. Even with 2 TDs called back.

asides: Ewers is still not comfortable in the pocket. Pressure him and he gets confused. The art of stepping up into or lateral steps in the pocket is an art form apparently.
Ewers still does not have it so he stays another year. Also deep balls to the right side of the field become blimps, I dont get it. Then he makes bullet 40 yard throws to the opposite sideline with ease. Then he cant lead a runner out of the backfield on a short pass. He should be able to do this every damn time. He makes the pass catcher running a nice line have to swivel his hips the other way and lose all momentum. Its frustrating to see this. Lead the damn people on these easy short passes.

The CFB QB class this year is so strong, and Ewers health and inconsistency dropped him in the draft enough where NIL is more feasible, so he stays. And he still has not played two full years. I expect when Ewers gets injured next year, Manning steps in. Manning is by far the most athletic QB on the team, its not even close. People keep thinking he has Peyton or Eli speed. He has his DADs athleticism. The ex TE who got injured and stopped playing. The eldest Manning was by far the best athlete of the 3 Manning brothers.

Jordan Travis. Wow. Transfer from Louisville. Willie Taggart didn't play him. He walked into Norvell's office and asked if he should change position. Coach walked him out to the FSU trophy case and told him he can be just as good.

FSU is still in position to win the ACC for the first time in 9 years and it's mostly because of Travis. Harsh ending for a projected 1st Round pick. True fans remember the ones that carried the program to the finish line. Before Winston there was Ponder.

Travis carried the Seminoles program from lows not experienced since before Bowden. He finishes his Nole career on a 17-game winning streak

[pgardn]

TeVondre Sweat is such a beast. Never overlook the 3*s.

Iowa St. and Matt Campbell came up with the 2 star v. 5 star bullshit. Like UT had a bunch of 5 stars at that time? Herman and Strong both had a few 5 star high impact offensive guys and basically weak lines on both sides of the ball.
So now that UT has two 3* DTs that basically swallowed Iowa st alive in the running game after one of Iowa St. guards went on a video diatribe about how ISU would essentially beat them up I thought it was an appropriate post. Btw Sweat probably goes late first round and Murphy 2nd to 4th. Both lines for UT are vastly improved and it has had the impact of still not playing an entire game and being able to win. (luck helps if you can keep it close). Whatever happens next this team is so much deeper than what we have had all the way back to 2009. (my father's analysis)

For the people who tried to understand the Big 12 tie break rules that look like it was written by a third grader. And then changed. And the big 12 had the Pac 12 rules sitting right in front of them as a basic outline which they finally used:

4 ways for UT to get into the big 12 championship:

1. UT beats TT

If UT loses, ANY ONE of the following 3 get UT in with two losses:

1. Oklahoma loses
2. Oklahoma St. loses
3. Kansas St. wins

Brett Y was busy working the WWE angle for the coming Big 12 and did not worry about minor stuff apparently.
And no, I refuse to chant SEC even though they are clearly more organized. I would rather be in the Big 12 AND getting the same level of recruits. But that aint happening.
UT will most likely have awesome games to view in the future as long as the SEC does not require us to play Division III level teams like they do with much of the rest of the SEC (note last weeks matchups) Good luck to UCF, BYU, Cinncinati, Houston.

Edit: I will miss the more exotic defenses and offense of the Big 12. It is fun to watch.

Arizona also is in. Although we come to find out Arizona's athletic program is 275 million dollars in debt (I will leave it for the board to decide how many Jimbo fisher contracts that is). So Arizona will be dropping other sports as it enters the big 12 to save $.

Due to the other 1 loss teams
a) having their loss vs a much better team. Okla with 2 losses is hurting the Horns.
b) having their Conf Champ win (if applicable) be against a much tougher foe then Texas potential Conf Champ opponent Iowa.

Ironically the one team the Horns could claim leapfrog is Bama. Yep, even if Bama beats GA. Horns can say We beat Bama.

Ohio State
Michigan
Washington if 1 L to Oregon
Oregon if W over WA and 1 L to WA

Going to have a hard time selling Horns should leap one of those 4.

[MultiTroll]

Washington and their QB on crack? This is all with less then 30 seconds to go.

Fueling the posters who say low IQ.

What in the HELL were they throwing a pass that was very nearly intercepted.....
and then the very next play....
The QB getting sacked which took it from chip shot FG to an increased 42 yarder. Still very makeable but a lot of these college kickers have problems from 42. See Bama.

With the National Championship on the line they f around trying to get a touchdown vs the chip shot FB.

Well Horns and Bama, a prime team to leapfrog just won at the buzzer.

I won my Bama - Washington parlay so for $$ reasons Im glad.

Looks like Texas isn't going to get a single upset it needed this week. Unbelievable how many close rivalry games there were this week and none that mattered go our way.

As far as I can see, this is essentially what is most realistic for Texas to get in the CFP.

Washington beats Oregon (UW in top 4, Oregon out with 2 losses)
Georgia beats Alabama (Georgia in top 4, Alabama out with 2 losses)
Louisville beats Florida State (Louisville out already, Florida State out with 1 loss behind Texas with better resume and quality of play at end of season)
Texas beats Oklahoma State (Texas in top 4, Oklahoma State out already)

Well I would say you have to look at the quality of the wins each team has. Texas has the double digit win against Alabama and Ohio State has the win against a much inferior Norte Dame on like the last play.

I didn't watch much A&M but from what I read Jimbo refused to evolve with the times. With the resources and talent already in place I think there's plenty of coaches that could do better than Jimbo, tbh.

There are still a heck of a lot of W/L combinations I would love to see.
This would be one.

FL ST. Loses to L ville
Bama lucks into beating Georgia in a crazy game
Washington beats Oregon.
Mich beats Iowa.
UT beats Ok St.

It would be hilarious to see the Committee have to decide between Alabama, Georgia, UT, Michigan (in for sure) and Washington (in for sure.)

If the Committee followed their own rules UT must get in before Bama. But Bama would have just beaten last year’s champ, Georgia.
So it would be, by the Committee rules:

Michigan
Washington
UT
Alabama

But this is essentially replacing Georgia with UT? What???? A Georgia that got unlucky?

I would love to see this actually occur. I could see a sudden rule change; Georgia in with Alabama.

So many more possibilities.
Ohio St. getting in AGAIN despite not playing in a conference championship would also be so telling.
(So whytf do we play these conf championship games again when they mean what?) ohhhhh $
It’s so cool when it comes down to who is most popular via Viewers and not rules of athletics. (Which are already unfair anyway. Because $)

I just want to see chaos in the entertainment industry I guess. Makes it interesting.
When it’s the breakdown of the real rule of law and democracy, I don’t like this at all.

[pgardn]

And this could get much worse with the 12 team system that is supposed to solve everything. While conferences are being torn apart…?
So cool. When people start creating new systems to solve problems it really lets us know how people think imo. Or simply just making up problems that don’t really exist with the existing structure.

[pgardn]

Safe pick for ATM

Elko

Good job at Duke
Going to keep popular E Rob.

edit: The powers that be had chosen Stoops and let it leak. Huge reaction from fans and players had the Aggies go back on it. Per Lucci. So Elko was next man up.

Had to be.
He will steady the ship of talent already there. And I think he is much better at communicating with players and fans. He will not take Natty nail up nor be considered a royal hire. All business with a bit of, “please stay out of my business and let me do my job” Ie this is not an extension of Jimbo talk, so stay the f out of team business. Oh and, “don’t worry about sleeve under uniforms crap, I won’t set myself up with that issue in the first place” I think Elko will quickly root out Denver Harris type trouble, maybe not even recruit them. One UT “insider” (Hamilton) warned that if UT got Denver they would have to keep his boys away, too close geographically. Went so far as to say Harris needed to be far from Texas to do his best. Reprogrammed without friends to act out for getting in the way of his career type thing.

ATM also will not have to fear next years game with UT bringing a new start over team on the field. (I know this is probably not a fear for you, but with the rigid Aggies I have as friends it was definitely a consideration. No doubt in my mind) The schedule I have seen looks very doable for ATM as well, so starting over could be like 5-7 which hits home. Don’t need to suffer through that with Elko. Then after 3 years make a deep assessment.

On the committee list head same record

Won conference championship Bama and UT wins out over NOT playing.
By the conference committee rules.
They would have to violate their own rules to let OSU in if UT or Bama or both win their conference championships.
Ohio State will be sitting at home.

If not you incentivize not playing in your conference championship. Sitting at home and not playing.
If Bama or UT or both win by rules they leapfrog OSU in the CFP standings when and if this becomes true.

What would be interesting is a record difference. Michigan loses to Iowa and Michigan and Ohio State were theoretically in a battle for the 4th spot. This would be interesting as there is only a week between games.

This will be funny because the Committee says these problems will all go way with 12 teams, some from the same conferences of course. The 12 team system makes it more likely to have problems for the last spots. Even with byes for top teams it still involves the choosing of teams to qualify for a National Championship playoff chance.

Should be fun. Feelings will get hurt.

The hurt and griping will still remain. The biggest change is that it will add more interesting permutations and rules.
Unless it becomes ncaa basketball which involves “wake me up upon the tournament selection.”

It should also be interesting how power (choose number) conferences will be crowned.
The worst conference arguments expand with the expansion (pretty cool).
The networks will have their hands all over that as well.

You would keep FSU out even if they were undefeated? It’s not their fault Florida was no good this year - that should have been a tough non conference game. They also played LSU in non conference and beat them. I think they are deserving if they win. I know ACC is bad but Big 12 wasn’t that great either.

I would like to see Florida State in with their real quarterback.

And the big 10 has two good teams.
Penn State? Who did they beat? They look like a team that’s trying not to lose bad against Michigan and Ohio State. Imo Utah is not a real quality win.

I think the committee can now just say look we knew it would not work.
The 12 team will. I heartily disagree. But I cant wait anyway. Should be cool.
Experiments with semi sacred structures can be fun, for the first year at least.
At this time next year some teams might sit players out waiting for the playoffs. I guess thats fun for betting purposes.

If Oregon losses they are out of the top 4 and if they win they are in.

It gets interesting if Washington losses because are they still top 4? Not better than Texas in my biased opinion.

[Biggems]

If Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and FSU all win, they should be in the playoffs. You cannot keep an undefeated power 5 conference team out of the playoffs.

That would also mean that Oregon and Alabama end with 2 loses. tOSU and Texas are left out in the cold, but those are the breaks.

As a Horns homer, our only realistic chance to make the final 4 is for Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Louisville to win their games and Texas blows the doors off Okie St. If this happens, I do not see how tOSU can be picked over Conference Champions, Texas.

If we win the Big 12, but miss out on the playoffs, I hope they do not put us against a team like Tulane. No disrespect to Tulane, but they are in an inferior conference. I would prefer someone with a little more meat and potatoes.

Hook em Horns.

[pgardn]

Rofl ending this really good season with the horns playing Tulane would be hilarious

It is horrible from a fan perspective who want to see a really good matchup.
But I can see Sarkisian seeing it as a great opportunity for next year.

Sweat, Murphy, Ford, Barron, Worthy, A Mitchell, Sanders, C. Jones et al ... sit out and the young guys get to play. (A problem this year because UT could not blow anyone out but tech) The 3rd and 4th quarter of that game was very helpful. People finally woke up and for the first time noticed Arch Manning is by far the best athlete at QB and is NOT this slow plodding Uncle Peyton and Eli (Both had to be great in other ways) Arch is more like his grandpappy. "He is white so he is slow" will be dispelled very quickly. Same thing was thought about Colt McCoy. Dude was very fast but not they type of runner Vince was. And once Colt got beaten up he learned he needed to learn the pocket.

Hell, play Ewers a quarter, then split time with Murphy and Arch. If Ewers decide to leave (I dont think he will, too many good QBs in front of him in the draft) even better.
Btw I want to see a REAL QB battle between those 3 QBs next year if Ewers stays. If Ewers does not learn how to move and just folds in the pocket it might get Arch in. At least he can get free enough to throw the ball away.

Anyways...
You got a whole hell of a lot of practice time. It will be a real test for next season
From a "get your team better" perspective I see it as a neat deal before SEC time.
There are so many guys who could use first team reps for the dead month and then a real game.
You have more of a baseline on the players who return for 24-25 And Tulane has some good players that can punch some of the young guys itching for action in the mouth. Then you can say you got to get a lot better to egos.

Btw this strengthens your 12 team playoff argument... more of a possibility of seeing the best players not sitting out like many do for bowl games.

I just vomited words...Felt good.

Why was Oregon leapfrogged over Texas and Bama after beating shitty USC?

Why was Oregon leapfrogged over Texas and Bama after beating shitty USC?

Common opponent was Texas Tech which is suppose to count.
I think destroying Colorado (and the myth getting crushed) also counted (not supposed to)
Really I think it comes down to Oregon absolutely destroying opponents with UT just getting by. This is not supposed to be a factor under the committee criteria but it seems most reasonable to me. Lots of stuff could still happen that makes all this hand wringing moot. But its still fun.

Hard to say.
