I looked at the last 3 season end of year CFP Rankings and in all 3 seasons, the SEC comes out with 6, 7 and 4 Teams. Big 12 only got 1 team in 2 of the 3 years. They had the anomaly in 2022 with TCU's one-hit wonder. Big 10 had 4, 5 and 5 Teams. ACC had 3, 1 and 2 Teams. Bottom line, why give the ACC and Big 12 two guaranteed spots in the playoff each year when history shows they aren't consistently strong enough? IMO, the 5-11 format with 4 conference champions plus G5 guaranteed a spot in the playoffs (not guaranteed a bye) and committee rankings finalize the remaining 11 teams with seeding dictating the 2 teams that get a bye. If they go with that 16 team format, then the 2 play-in games occur the second weekend of December, bringing the total teams to 14 starting the weekend of Dec 20th. Top 2 teams get a bye (likely the Big 10 and SEC Conf Champs) till Jan 1. At that point, it's top 8 teams in 4 bowl games similar to last year. I hear all the talk about playing those Jan 1 games at university stadiums but that seems unlikely given bowl financial strength. I'm good with this and it feels like the SEC / Texas likely wins in this model. If they go with this 5-11 model, it sounds like 8 SEC game schecule is most likely to avoid canibalizing each other, given how strong SEC is from top to bottom. As long as we can keep RRR and A&M game in 8-game SEC format, this seems like a good compromise. No need to protect Arkansas game as an annual tradition. Curious if others have a strong opinion re: number of teams in CFP, number of guaranteed spots versus at large spots, # of games played in SEC, etc. Fun stuff being debated this week. By comparison, look at basketball and baseball for other examples where SEC has dominated, using rankings and seedings to dictate the bracket. No need for more AQs to SEC and Big 10 IMO. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂 https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45350954/greg-sankey-talks-sec-coaches-16-team-playoff-model-notes-problematic-timing

Points arrow at USC…

I also find it interesting that he takes his FSU visit immediately after us on June 15

so that equals Hi got it

I was told the same this afternoon… confidence remains on the Texas side.

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Football’s Anthony Hill Jr., Colin Simmons and Michael Taaffe have been named to the preseason watch list for the Lott IMPACT Trophy, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation announced Wednesday afternoon. Texas is the only program with three student-athletes featured on the watch list. The Lott IMPACT Trophy is awarded annually to the student-athlete who best exhibits the characteristics of Ronnie Lott by making an IMPACT on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

I feel very confident in Texas securing back to back #1 HS recruiting classes.

Texas will be the preseason #3 or #4 team in WBB and should make it back to the Final Four at worst. We'll see if they can get over that South Carolina hump in conference and if they do, get over the UConn hump out of conference. UCLA will be a team to watch as well. Still think OU is a few pieces away even with the addition of Chavez.

gitty up... excited to see how this year's class comes together. Feels like we have more momentum going into June this year than how it felt last year, which is crazy, considering we ended at consensus #1 class with strong finish.

Lmao na good timing I hope lol

At this point I feel like you must be stalking Gerry and looking over his shoulder as he makes a post just so you can get this in right under him hahaha.

Damn! Very sad. Weren’t we a finalist for him and I think there was some disappointment we didn’t get him. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45361807/baylor-football-player-alex-foster-18-dies-mississippi

Or if we had a competent kicker who wasn’t completely in his own head.

my dad and i will be there. my wife is from Columbus and there fans are jerks to the other team. will be fun to walk out of the stadium giving them the bird lol.

Does anyone have any tailgates setup yet or OTF hosting one? My brother and I will be there and just lookin’ for some friendly faces in what’s supposed to be the worst enemy territory (bc of the people) in cfb. We’ll gladly donate to drinking/food funds but beware, swimmers tend to have an abnormally large intake! 😂 😂

Thank you for your time Tony. Always appreciate Hump Day with Hills. Interesting insight on the Broncos - Patriots playoff game going years back. Great call on the less experienced offensive linemen of Texas being put next to veterans so there is less worry about having two fresh faces being overwhelmed on one side in a big game. I think having DJ Campbells poise and experience next to whoever wins out at right tackle is a huge plus🤘 Hook Em

It will be interesting to see if we start seeing movement of commitments if the House ruling caps how much NIL an individual school can provide. If we get capped some of the top talent will disperse more.

Fong hasn't done well the past couple of years IMO.

So close to being a Longhorn too. Hate to see this happen to anyone.
