If Kiffin passed on moving this cycle, I was resigned to him being the target the administration would chase to replace Sark.

get him Ole Miss fans!!! 😂😂😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRskpBcEcm-/?igsh=MW5xN2pyeGVseWMzNQ== dude made Ole Miss relevant

Yes

We didn't just beat OU, we dominated them. Then we dominated A&M in the final 30 mins 24-7, a team that many were arguing is #1 going into the game. I never thought A&M was better than #3 but the reality is we beat 3 teams who were all ranked top 10 at the time we played them. No-one has won 3 top 10 games in past 5 years. Committee putting way too much emphasis on 2 losses to teams ranked #1 and #3 in country. At most, those both should count as .5 compared to losses by Miami (2 unranked teams). Need to put much more emphasis on great wins.

This is ridiculous lol. If we needed to hire a coach this cycle, who would you want for us?

@Gerry Hamilton is Bishop really less than 160lbs right now? Or was that just his listed weight when he committed several months ago? He looks like he’s put on 15+ pounds his senior year

Any chance Bishop will be selling popcorn during the Spring game?

The CFB calendar makes this messy. No more, no less.

Bishop stat line is wild.

Lane and LSU deserve one another.

He’s a thin skinned brat. First bad loss and it will get really ugly, just like it did for the previous thin skinned jerk.

The biggest a hole in the sport and it’s not even close. Burned every bridge he’s ever cross because of it.

Disagree. It would diminish their biggest win of the year (against Georgia) if they lose in the SEC championship. Bama lost to OU, Texas beat OU. Both would have 3 losses. Bama played a cupcake non-conf schedule (no opponents in the Top 25). Texas played #1 team in the country closer than any other opponent all year. Texas beat 3 teams currently in the Top 15. Bama beat 2 teams in the Top 15 (Georgia and Vanderbilt). Committee left out Georgia 2 years ago after they lost to Bama in the Conf Championship and Georgia was undefeated going into the Conf Championship game. We need to stop pretending you can't drop out of the playoffs due to conf championship loss. It's already happened multiple times in the past and should happen this year, especially if it's BYU and Bama who are both losing. Predicting this second year of the 12 team playoffs with really good teams getting left out is going to lead to Big 10 getting their way with 24 Team Playoff System. Top 4 teams from each of the Power 4 Conferences getting in automatically then at large for all other spots. Predicting that would lead to elimination of conf championship games. Top 2 teams from each conference get in (based on conf record) then team #3 plays #6 and #4 plays #5 to win the final 2 spots in each conf AQ. Now you've filled 16 spots then it leaves Committee Rankings to select the final 8 spots (get rid of the rule that benefits 5th conf champion, regardless of ranging) to fill out the Top 24. In that scenario, Texas likely hosting a home game for round 1. Top 8 teams all get a bye in round 1. By the week of Dec 20th, were down to 16 teams playing at the home sites of the Top 8 teams. That's a model I could get fired up about. For teams like Texas, who are beginning to peak at end of season, it would give us the chance to prove it on the field in December rather than punishing us for loss against OSU in week 1 (when 4 of the top 5 teams in rankings didn't play a single ranked opponent in non-conf). jmho. Hook em!!

Lane dealing with the LSU media will be entertaining at least

Golesh to Auburn Texas get a break we won't have to face him at Arky

If the CFP a reward for the season or a matchup of the teams playing best at the end of a season? Right they look at win/loss records and not how a team is playing.

This is true. Committee has said as much too. But one interesting scenario would be if there’s something to the DeBoer to Penn St rumors. The committee has also said they’d consider availability of players and coaches so if he bolts, especially after losing badly to Georgia in the championship game, who knows

Exciting to see how they both are finishing with insane performances during playoffs and imagine what they will bring to the 40 acres.

"108 receptions FOR 1716 yards" is that a typo? WOW!!

It's astonishing but that is the first media take I have seen that acknowledges how consequential this is regarding future OOC scheduling. There will not be any more big time OOC games if Texas is punished for losing to OSU on the road in their closest game of the year.

The only reason to include OU and not Texas is "Because they went 10-2 and Texas went 9-3". Because if you're basing it on who is the better team, well, I think that was settled fairly conclusively. So if the criteria is simply wins and losses regardless of anything else, the committee should admit to that.

I hope she's right. The committee should count conf championship game losses with even more weight than a non-conf loss in week 1 imo. It's a reflection of how the team is playing against top competition at end of season versus week 1. Also, 2 losses by Miami in October/November to 2 non-ranked opponents should count with much more weight negatively as bad losses than a single loss in early October by Texas to Florida combined with losses to 2 of the top 3 schools in the country. How many teams in the Top 15 would have beaten either Georgia (1 - Bama) or Ohio State (0)? It's interesting when you look at Strength of Schedule on ESPN, no-one in the Top 25 has anywhere near the same difficulty of schedule as UT. Four of the Top five teams in the AP chose to play all cupcakes for non-conf games. What exactly is the CFP committee trying to incentivize? If BYU and Bama both get beaten by 2+ scores, theoretically that should open up a possible path into the playoffs for the Horns. How can they keep Vanderbilt ahead of Texas after the way we handled them head to head and Vanderbilt played the following non-conf schedule: Charleston Southern, Virginia Tech, Utah State and Georgia State? Vanderbilt only played two teams currently in the Top 20 (Alabama and Texas). Vanderbilt got beat soundly by both. Ready to be disappointed but fun to hear the debates for the next week. I'll never forget how f'ng over the top excited I was 2 years ago with the who debate between Georgia, Bama, Florida State and Texas for the final 2 spots into the playoffs. It looked like we may be on the outside, looking in until Bama beat Georgia (the same year we beat Bama). Had Georgia won that game, would the committee have let Florida St (and their perfect record but without starting QB) into the final spot? We'll never know. All that to say that we had some dominoes fall our way 2 years ago on Conf Championship Weekend when UT won our final Big 12 Championship in a blowout game and Bama upset Georgia. It was a beautiful weekend. Let's see how next weekend shakes out. Praying for a lot more dominoes to fall our way again. Hook em!!

Leaving out the SEC runner-up because they lost in the championship game would be really dumb.
