Going to be a wild one for sure.

No one is. But better to be in then to be booking tee times.

Wait, is Taaffe starting?

Good luck in the playoffs. I am not thrilled about the .500 record though.

Because we allowed a 20 lead, played lax late to allow the touchdown, and missed the onside that hit one of our top receivers on the hands. It’s incomprehensible that some of you celebrate digging out of the holes we create. Success isnt solving the problem you created. Cmon now. I’m still bullish on the season but let’s not ignore our obvious opportunities. 🤘🏽

Ohio State- Ball, Kent St, Illinois, Texas LSU- Clemson, LaTech, Ole Miss, TAMU Ole Miss- Louisville, Colgate, LSU, Florida Ohio State’s schedule outside of Texas has been a joke. They have a highly ranked SOS purely because they played Texas, and Texas gifted them a lot of points before shutting them down. LSU’s schedule has also been somewhat of a joke outside of Ole Miss, and Ole Miss shut them down for the majority of the game. Ole Miss vs Florida is a good comparison to Texas vs Tennessee. Look at what Ole Miss did without their starting RB vs a lesser Florida defense, and compare that with what Texas did vs Tennessee without their starting RB (and key blocker in Townsend)

Yes. They dropped one spot to No. 12.

Why are you a member of something that thrives on different perspectives and opinions? Every P4 coach in the history of ever has known more. We yall at clouds and the tv anytime the perceived talent outweighs the results. It’s simple and fun to try to figure it out. I doubt anyone here truly thinks they speak from a position of superiority to Sark. We enter this forum knowing we are arm chair, pseudo coaches taking out the backside. It doesn’t mean the opinions are completely off as the proverbial blind squirrel but no one knows the game or locker room better than just about any actual coach (though I know we are blessed with some here!). Good night nurse. Is this sark’s burner? Lolol

I saw a team use a top ten pick on Anthony Richardson. Dylan Stewart would have to kill a truck full of puppies to not get drafted in the first round and he PROBABLY will go in the top 15.

Marcel wishes his misses were that accurate

You know Jerry Jones would draft if he could

Coming back to this post, I was going through Arch's stats and through all of his starts at Texas, even going back to 2024, this is only the second game where he didn't have a passing TD. The other was Kentucky last year. Eerily similar was he also got sacked 6 times last year against Florida in our loss to them on the road. While this year they got the win despite also being sacked 6 times. He also had 2 INT's in that game (with 2 TD's) vs 1 int and no TD's against Tenn. I just thought that was interesting.

Jarveaux, you’re way too good a poster to lose from this place. You’ve always brought passion, perspective, and a lifetime of Longhorn experience that makes OTF better. Nobody expects blind loyalty --- people just see things differently sometimes. We’re all pulling for Texas, and voices like yours are part of what makes this forum worth reading. Hope you stick around.

We should petition MLB to play our home playoff games in Sacramento.

I don’t know if Texas is the best team in the country; but I really don’t know who would be either. To say “objectively” and put out something completely subjective based on an exceptionally subjective poll is quite the choice. 🤘🏼

One more thing, Go Stros!

No surprise to me. I know people say we shouldn't be #1 but I disagree. They have their issues and I do agree they are actual issues but they've still earned the ranking. @Jeff Howe or anyone else, did Tech drop in the rankings? I could've swore they were higher but maybe I'm misremembering things.

BTW Jeff, appreciate the full breakdown. The defensive numbers you highlighted really tell the story -- holding Tennessee to 2.9 yards per play and Simmons tying the single‑game sack record is absurd production. This team has earned every bit of that No. 1 ranking, and the bye week couldn’t come at a better time with the SEC gauntlet ahead. Good stuff as always.

Nobody’s saying the staff is infallible, but calling the whole offense a failure after a road win over a ranked SEC team feels like heat‑of‑the‑moment stuff. Robertson struggled, Arch had rough moments, and Sark’s sequencing wasn’t sharp -- all true. But the defense bought them time, and good teams win ugly. The fixes are obvious and doable.

Exactly. Strength of record is the whole point of September rankings. Texas has beaten more quality opponents than anyone else, and doing it on the road matters. Battle‑tested teams survive the back half of the season --- and this SEC stretch is going to prove who’s real.

BYU's rank looks a lot more realistic here, even if Ohio State's does not

The offense has issues, no doubt, but the resume is the resume. Beating ranked teams on the road while holding an SEC offense to 1.6 yards per rush is exactly why voters put Texas at No. 1. Eye test matters, but winning big games matters more. The bye week is where Sark usually cleans things up --- let’s see what it looks like coming out of Dallas.

Yeah that is including FCS games because it has Tennessee as a top 40 offense and if you remove the Furman game, their offense drops below Texas.
