What freshman all Americans might we add? Excited for these guys and hope we have a couple more guys step up and own the whole of 2026!!

Cant complete with a guy named Da’Realest

Close to having 6 (Niblett at KR).

A lot of zeros in the pitching match ups.

Thanks for this Jeff - well done !!

1. It supports the Texas scheduling Ohio State to an extent. It does not support teams that will typically have 3, 4, 5 losses hoping to stay at 3 or maybe 4 losses. And you need two teams for a matchup. And Texas-Ohio State want top 8/byes/more home games. That is at greater risk. 2. The conference championship games are a problem. But we’re going to settle the championship on massively unbalanced schedules? The tie breakers for OSU-Indiana will be determined how? 3. Unbalanced schedules and same bs we’ve seen to date. The reward here is in contrast to your point 1. 4. It does likely have more persons interested. I’m a football fan. College football regular was always the best. I don’t care that casuals pay more attention. 5. Sure more money. That’s probably a negative for a fan like me. See #4. 6. So if ND finishes top 12, them getting invited to a 12 team tourney is special treatment? I understand the rationale, but it’s ridiculous because that is not the team getting special treatment. Not to mention that the committee can adjust rankings as they see fit to get them in or keep them out. This past year UNDs schedule was on par with Ole Miss, Miami and Tech. I don’t think ND sat on their ass at home 8 times either like a couple of teams with a conference. 7. I don’t believe you are correct here. Let’s say A&M gets Texas at home then an Arizona State for the playoffs. You cannot say the regular season maintains its status then say the 100 year rivalry game is not the “best home game of the season.” You just rattled off that the Big 10 and SEC would have locked up more than half the spots so hard to imagine those are the best games of the season in every case. Eating up all of December is difficult for student engagement but also many fans. There is no planning way in advance for that. You consider plans but not necessarily iron them out - cause funds, family and work still matter for most. 8. The current format isn’t perfect. None are. With all the bitching and moaning, the discussion that Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss proved little in the regular season to earn their rankings was limited. There was no equal treatment to teams this year. There won’t be in this format either. Here is one thing I don’t want. I don’t want a team that loses 33% of their games in a short season getting a shot at one that lost 0%. The 33% loser might even have a crappier schedule. It’s also a little backward that you can be 6th or 7th in conference yet get a shot at a “national” title. You played more games to earn that 7th spot than the title. There’s an alternate view for you.

Not a single Aggie on there. I keep seeing pundits talk about how the Aggies are about to make a big move under Elko, and that we're battling with them for state superiority. Not a single Aggie on this list. I honestly don't know how state superiority is in question. We've beaten them 3 straight times, and we're gonna make it 4. Tech at least had 3 Way Too Early 2026 All-Americans. They are #2 in the state. Aggies will always ag.

BASEBALL

The one thing that ruins the post-season, IMO, is all the opt-outs in meaningless bowl games. This plan would involve a lot of teams and possibly eliminate the opt-outs since the games would be more meaningful. I say give it a try.

Yeah. It's at 6:30.

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think the professional services portion of the compensation is what Texas will pay Muschamp for the right to use his name, image and likeness. I believe that money comes from things like sponsorships and advertising revenue.

Stacked lineup

Instagram post said first pitch was at 8:30...I assume that's wrong.

Third-ranked Texas opens the 2026 season tonight against UC Davis, with the first pitch set for 6:30 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

ESPN Way-Too-Early All-American Team (5 Longhorns on 1st team) QB, WR, OT, EDGE and LB. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47887250/2026-college-football-way-too-early-all-america-team 1. I think this is really good way-too-early list. 2. If Texas has all five of these hit, they will have a top 6 level team come CFP time because the starts will have been stars (performance and health).

Thanks for sharing! This is the best approach to expansion by far. It would be nice if they had released this ahead of the deadline so we could’ve put more pressure as fans on the SEC to get this deal done for 26. With NIL and transfer portal there’s too much parity on the game now not to have an expanded format to give as many teams a chance as possible. I’m also very much in favor of a model that forces ND to join a conference to have access to a playoff.

Many things I like about this model: 1) Further supports playing a big time non-conference game early and allowing teams to gel in Sept/Oct. This helps further emphasize the value of gaining experience against tough opponents and 3 losses in now way eliminates a team from contention. 2) Conf championship games have become a joke. Recognize conference champion based on regular season results. No reason to play that extra game when many other teams in playoffs do not play in conf championship. 3) Top 8 teams get a bye. Top 16 teams all get to host a home playoff game. This is a win all the way around for campus games and for Top 8 teams out of regular season. A true reward for regular season results. 4) Makes the regular season even more exciting for broader base of teams who have a real shot to prove it on the field. Every game is interesting for different reasons. 5) Financially makes sense with 12 additional games and 10 of those can be bid to competing networks (or streaming partners). 6) Eliminates special treatment for ND and diminishes impact of including non Power 4 champion. 7) Full month of December would become a better bigger version of "March Madness". This would be the best home game of the season for 16 teams in December. 2nd weekend of the month is first round. 3rd weekend of the month is second round . All 16 teams know by early December where they are playing and can plan for attendance way in advance. 8. I hate the different proposals for 16 teams with subset of teams playing first round, wacky number of byes for different teams, AQs to teams who aren't even a top 20 team potentially and too complex of a playoff format. Love this model for its symmetry, equal treatment to all teams with clear benefit to top 8 teams with bye and home field. Everyone fighting to make Top 8. Hook em!!

Now that Manning knows how to use his God-given talent he will be able to open up the running game because he's going to throw for a bazillion yards and defenses cannot defend a guy who can throw on the run AND run like he's on fire.

I also like Stephen A Smith's rant about Notre Dame getting special treatment next year in current agreement. What if Texas were ranked #11 but got knocked out of playoffs by #12 Notre Dame due to their AQ status? Current model has many issues to be remedied, including the fact that the conference championships put those teams at big disadvantage of playing extra game (especially the losers) going into the playoffs then the fact that the top seeded teams do not currently get opportunity to host a playoff game at their home campuses is crazy.

I've posted my support for this 24-team playoff model over the past year (8 home playoff games in round 1 hosted by seeds 9-16 followed by 8 playoff games hosted by first round byes, seeded 1-8) with the remainder of the playoff schedule resembling current format. Conference championship games (which have become a complete joke) go away and no team would have a crazy 3-4 week bye period in December. The Top 16 teams all host 1 playoff game at home. Love it. As usual, I expect to get blasted by others with the rationale that this expanded format somehow diminishes the regular season (suggesting, I guess, that the regular season is somehow an equitable barometer between teams like Texas who play OSU and 4 other Top 10 teams versus other teams that qualified and didn't play a single Top 10 team all season). This latest proposal seems like a big move in a constructive direction as Big 10 has moved off of their previous mandate for an obscene number of automatic qualifiers for Big 10 and SEC. It's simply the Top 23 teams seeded. Last season, the SEC would have had the most teams qualify with 7 SEC teams and 6 Big 10 followed by 5 Big 12 Teams and only 3 ACC plus ND and a G5. Put another way, each team's performance on the field sets the seeding but allows inequity in schedules to be settled through the expanded playoffs. Curious what others think. Seems destined to either move to 16 or 24, but the Big 10 now offering a way to remedy the financial loss of conference championship games (proposing 10 new playoff games get packaged and put into media bidding war) and no AQs would seem to make the 24 team model much more appealing, especially the idea that the Top 16 teams all get to host 1 home playoff game. I love that aspect to this model plus many other elements. Hook em!! https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47917988/big-ten-eyes-24-team-cfp-no-league-championship-games

eventually players will learn and adjust. Sucks that there will have to be cases like this for others to learn from.

That’s sad for him really. I know it’s a business now but these dudes are young and being told you would be starting when you had other options out there just for this to happen sweeps that rug right out from under him with no where to go. It’s not like he can jump back in the portal now

Lots to be optimistic about for sure heading into the 2026 season. Decent OL play in the run game is going to huge in helping the entire offense be productive.

Seeing the fallout from Chambliss ruling. Apparently Duece was told he would be starting no matter what. Now he has scrubbed all Ole miss from his social this morning.
