That’s why bowl games don’t matter anymore. I can see it from both ends. If you’re going to the NFL why risk injury in what’s basically an exhibition game.

Good, 🖕🏻

With opt outs etc these bowl games are nothing more than an NFL type preseason game. The only positive is the extra practices for the young players. Expand the playoffs to 16 with a couple play in games and lets roll..

A win over 2025 Michigan is nowhere close to being a win over 2023 Michigan. Michigan is the most overrated 9-3 team in the country

I bet you'd feel differently if it was your brand and intellectual property you had created on your own.

What's worse is the star players opting out of a bowl game. The game seems hardly worth watching since you're not truly seeing the actual team.

I agree - Campbell used to be a way hotter name but he's cooled off Dillingham has the hotter name now

Richard Wesley will enroll in January at the ripe old age of 16 This means the following: * He will not be able to legally drink until after he graduates from college. (assuming he graduates in 4 years)) * Any girl he dates will risk being accused of statutory rape * In theory he cannot go to an "R" rated movie without a parent. I can only imagine being 16 and playing football at one of the top 3 programs in the nation. Life is about to get interesting for the young man

Does this give any indication that Chris Henry Jr is truly in play for Texas now...?

Making college football watchable? Good teams playing each other vs playing chess trying to get into the playoffs? Being competitive? Enjoy challenges? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Props to them. Have always thought if you only have 6 wins, take a pass.......

Nah it’s just you

I just know when I was watching the GA game against GA Tech the announcers went on and on about the freshman linemen playing well due to injuries to the starters. As much time as these guys have had to develop, I am not sure why our guys can't perform the same.

The next time I see a Jalen Lott thread will be too soon.

I think the university demands too much royalty on these items. I get the brand is iconic but let these folks make a living..... Hook'em.

Injury risk plus, one game won’t influence NFL scouts.

Quinn has won the Internet with this post:

We'll see if that's the real spread. I also would never bet on this Texas team. Even if we dominate there is a good chance we do our classic Turtle Tom+prevent defense that makes the score close at the end.

Cool, you came off as an asshole

I wish someone would give us a timeline for their return. I miss Bri out there. And we can use Aliyah's firepower. However, her absence has helped Justice Carlton to come on big time. Justice is a load. She is strong and hard to guard.

It's flawed logic and lazy group think dynamics combined with massive conflicts of interest and a legion of media muppets who willingly do the committees bidding.

A live, nationally televised debate with moderators, committee representatives, and a challenger panel before the playoff selections are finalized is necessary for maintaining the integrity of the sport. No more excuses, no more unchallenged gaslighting. Right now, the criteria seem to shift depending on which team they want to justify. One week it’s strength of schedule, the next it’s losses, the next it’s the “eye test,” and sometimes it doesn’t seem to matter at all. Everyone watching can see it. In a sport where difficulty of schedules vary so widely, falling back on simple loss count without considering overall résumé just doesn’t cut it. No more letting the committee hide behind vague talking points and the Muppets in the media who echo them. A panel of moderators could include a respected CFB journalist, a former coach or athletic director, and someone who understands the data — alongside a couple of committee representatives and a challenger panel of analysts, former players, and stats experts. Start with brief statements, then dive into real questions: Why does it seem strength of schedule and head to head criteria are not being honored? How does the committee weigh a team’s number of losses against the fact that schedules vary widely in difficulty? How do they take into account the wear and tear of a tough in‑conference and non‑conference schedule, and how that compounds and impacts a team over the course of a season? Other than a one loss differential, how do they justify ranking a team like Miami, which has faced only one top‑25 opponent all year, above Texas, which played the most difficult schedule of any team still in playoff contention? Or how can they explain putting Notre Dame ahead of Miami when both have the same record, ND also played a weak schedule and Miami won the head-to-head matchup? Moreover, what is the actual priority order of the criteria they claim to use? The committee should be made to walk through a few of the most questionable ranking decisions step by step, and both sides should be able to make their case under cross-examination. We’re not arguing that an 8‑4 or 7‑5 team should be included; we understand that losses matter. But it would be naive to overlook the committee’s inconsistencies and obvious preference for win-loss records over their stated criteria. This isn’t about getting Texas into the playoffs — it’s about halting the steady decline of the sports integrity. Previous failures don't justify continuing to turn a blind eye - this committee must be held accountable.

Oregon keeps piling up 5 star WRs while that last WR that got drafted in the first round from Oregon was back in 1972. Steven got stuffed in a locker again by Oregon, this time even by a legacy recruit. Our problem with these guys is not the NIL we offer. If I had to guess it’s either Texas telling them that we’re not guaranteeing play time or these 5 star WR don’t like seeing Texas go out in the portal every year to get guys instead of playing the ones we have on roster. Or maybe they just don’t like our WR coach. I don’t know why but there SHOULDN’T be any reason to not get one of these elite type of guys once every 2 years.
