Other than the eventual playoff champ, Texas will most likely be the only other team that beat three playoff teams, and beat them handily! CFB just needs to make a super division of 60 or so teams and stop with the participation trophies to ND, the ACC and the Big 12. The SEC Championship game does nothing for the conference in the Playoff era. Just look at the numbers for the Texas OSU game to start the season! Let’s just have the best play the best and stop pretending that these other teams and conferences that do not value football like we do are at the same level. Sure they can catch a better team sleeping and pull out a one game upset, but that’s it. How ironic would it be if Texas doesn’t get into the CFP and the eventual playoff champ is the only other team to beat three play off teams? And not only did Texas beat this three teams, it did so in convincing fashion in each game.

If that's true then Texas will make the playoff field. If we are left out then big time OOC games will (and ought to be) a relic. I don't want to play at a disadvantage just for the sake of the sport and the networks. If we are going to do this all by loss column then Texas needs to play Indiana OOC schedules.

Florida played 5 teams that are in contention for the CFP: @Miami vs Texas (true home game) @ TAMU vs UGA (neutral) @ Ole Miss These were all one score games in the 4th quarter. Which one doesn’t look like the other? Florida played 3 home SEC games and went 2-1, with a late loss to Tennessee after the team had already given up. Florida was a talented, capable team. Out of 5 good teams, they were due for one upset. We just happened to be the lucky team that caught them at the right time in the right conditions (no Muhammad, etc). Florida losing to USF also did not help. Florida truly was the most annoying team in CFB this year. Thanks Sun Belt Billy!

Not immediately. Only if we are left out on selection Sunday (which is obviously the most likely scenario) but let's give them a chance to get it right.

You’re emitting mixed signals…

bishop putting up video game numbers in a very tough level of TXHSFB

The previous post(s) about cupcake scheduling hit the nail on the head, IMO - the networks won't stand for it. I grew up watching the OSU - Michigan, Texas - OU, and Alabama - Auburn games, and I have no skin in the game. Networks want to extend this to OOC games to Get the same results with folks watching a true marquee matchup.

That's because the big 12 was weak, and we needed a quality win to help our case. That doesn't matter at all now that we are in the SEC. The level of competition is so much higher.

He's closer to 170 IMO

Yes, exactly that. Would like UK to stay a basketball school and not have to worry about them in FB lol.

Like the time the OU grad became the head coach at Texas?

This is where is matters moving forward. 9 SEC games a year is brutal but equates to elite SOS each year. Big non-con games aren't needed now and are really more of a risk in the current CFP format.

Keep the game. Go win it next year and fast track ourselves to the playoffs while not losing to an unranked team next year. Thats the solution. Just win the ones that were supposed to and don’t get blown out if we aren’t picked to win.

I trust Clark, Carlton may be Clark’s new Bosa

That would be, and a traitorous move for the UL grad lol.

I agree, it really would.

That would be a hell of a hire for Kentucky.

Looks like Oregon OC - Will Stein is the current favourite for the Kentucky job. Didn't realize he was a Kentucky native.

I agree. The committee is dictating that all they care about is loss count. We already play a 9 game SEC schedule. We don't need more SOS so high profile non-conference games are just for the TV networks. You know what make us more money? Making the playoffs and winning championships and we risk that continuing the dice roll non-conference games.

Now that you mention it, I don't understand it either. Think he's done pretty well there, but unless he has ties to Penn State or he's from around that region, then it would be a weird hire.

What's he done that would make him desirable? Tennessee's been so up and down, and this year, down compared to expectations. And they just got spanked by Vandy in their rival game.

Oh no way? That's an interesting one.

Yeah I've been seeing it, too. Kinda crazy if that is true. Maybe Gerry was onto something.

A lot of chickenshit casual takes in here. 🤦🏼‍♂️ anOSU will be a great start to 2026!! 🏈🤘🏻🏈🤘🏼🏈🤘🏈🤘🏽🏈🤘🏾🏈🤘🏿🏈

I’m seeing smoke about Heupel to Penn st.
