Are you not familiar with Lane Kiffin?

Would Lane really want that announced if Ole Miss is in the playoffs?

Utah and BYU losing last night would have been huge for us. Mizzou beating OU would have been helpful. I agree with Kevin C, we'll likely be ranked 15 in the CFP Rankings on Tuesday night. Vandy, Alabama, OU, Ole Miss can all lose next week to SEC opponents. Let's go beat the Aggies 🤘🏽

In model proposed, this year…Texas would still have shot at AQ spot with A&M win and likely host round 1 against 3rd or 4th best from Big 12 / ACC.

We “let” him flip? So kind of us to “allow” a kid to pick his school. Do we do that often?

Liked a lot of Joel Klatt’s take in support of 24 Team format. Gaining support from college commissioners (starting with Big 10). It would make December even better than it already is for CFP imo. A quick summary of points (my twists on top of Klatt’s overall framework). https://youtu.be/FcIHsfqD4YI 1. Eliminate conf championship games. Use regular season conf records (and tie breakers) to name conf champs. 2. Each of Big 4 conferences get 4 AQ based on conference rules (conf record, head to head, common opponents, etc) 3. ND automatic if Top 20 plus 5th Conf Champ. 4. With 18 Teams locked (17 if ND outside Top 20), the remaining 6 spots at large based on CFP committee voting. This year that likely would have meant 4 more spots SEC and 2 more for Big 10. 5. CFP Committee determines seeding with heavy emphasis on SoS, SoR, Quality Wins, (motivates tier1 non conf matchups in Sept) 6. Tuesday following final season games is big announcement of 24-team bracket by CFP Committee. Second Saturday in Dec is first round of playoffs hosted by 9-16. Top 8 teams get a bye. 7. Third weekend of December is Round 2 of CFP hosted by teams ranked 1-8 against winners of round 1. 8. Quarterfinals played at 4 Big Bowl Traditional sites on NewYears (1 game NYE and 3 on NYD). Same as current format. Love it. NewYears back to being spectacular for CFP. 9. semifinals and championship continue as is. Not broken. Why fix? Love this model for lots of reasons, most importantly: 1) Eliminates conf championship games which are becoming more punitive (champs all lost first round CFP last season) 2) Two rounds of home games hosted at universities. Both rounds have predictable locations for advanced planning. 3) Allows for heavier inclusion from SEC / Big 10 with at 6 large but keeps heavy emphasis on conference play with 4 AQ per conf. Also, this model rewards playing big boy game in Sept. This model makes Big12 and ACC more relevant for stability and stop trend of ongoing realignment. 4) Most of all, it rewards teams getting better through the season and keeps lots of teams interested all season. Texas is a good example, could come in at 14, host round 1 but on positive trajectory headed into Dec. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

I was trying to point out that man and press man doesnt work well when you play that bdb defense. This blame does not fall squarely on Akina, it falls on PK and Orphey as well. 2nd, the guys they have recruited are man and press man types not necessarily zone, 3rd when you play 8-10 off you give up free first downs up and down the field=worn out d, dont care how deep your roatation is, 4th Sark is responsible for the whole team with an emphasis on offense, PK is responsible for the defense. Ive stated on here previously PK is a good coach, i do not think he is a championship level coach. Not saying he is the problem but he aint the answer either.

Not so sure it's bend but don't break he wants to play. Because they are one of the top teams in the country for sacks and they get plenty of pressure. There was a clear progression year over year with the secondary. Gideon/Joseph gone and an entire new room of DB coaches. Maybe they don't mesh well, maybe there's too many cooks in the kitchen, who knows. But apparently now PK is the problem lol. I can't say it isn't surprising though, I knew there would be a drop off but I didn't think it would be this big of a drop off.

Not so sure the issue is Akina. PK has always had that bend but dont break mentality. Difference is He had Makuba and Jahdae back there masking the shortcomings, and for some reason Taaffe has not been the same player this year, bad angles out of position etc.you are going to have a really hard time playing man and especially press man with that mentality and thats the players that have been recruited. Just saying the issue is much larger than Akina.

Wish the defense had finished strong but we got the W 🤘🏽 Need Ant Hill back now with TyAnthony out the first half against the aggies

By the way…

#12 2-loss Utah down by 10 with 3 mins to play against KSU last night, we didn’t need that f’ing comeback to happen. Ridiculous int by Kansas St w 49 secs left. Our odds looked a lot better with the Utes out of the pic. Georgia Tech and USC losses help. Expect we’ll be at #15 this Tuesday. We need to beat A&M in convincing beat down fashion (36-20) then we need some serious help over next 2 weeks. Tennessee over Vandy plus either LSU over OU or Auburn over A&M (or both) then we need to jump Utah and BYU based on SOR, SOS, Quality Wins over OU, Vandy, A&M. Would either of those Big12 teams have beaten Georgia or OSU? Of course not. Guranteed to make CFP……..OSU, IU, A&M, Georgia, ND, TTU, Miss, Ore plus ACC Champ and next highest ranked conf champion (that last one is a joke). That means 10 spots are virtually locked. If OU and Bama both win next Saturday over LSU and Auburn, hard to see path for Texas. If OU or Bama get upset (preferably both), we have legit shot at last spot in, especially if Vandy loses to Tenn. Odds of these dominoes falling right feels less than 10% but it will make for fun next 2 weeks. Hook em!! 🙏🏼🤘🏼🐂🧡

Always a great use of time to lament recruits who chose a different school and had success.

You should be. 30 plus points 4 straight weeks. Arkansas had over 500’yards offense. Insert backup and no problem. He throws for 200 in a half. The regression of the defense is staggering at this point. We’ve not an elite defense right now and I’m not sure we’re even good half the time. Extremely disappointed in that side of the ball. The bright spot was seeing Kade Phillips compete. He’s gonna be alright. Same with Littleton. On the 40 the least amount of time and they are playing the best right now arguably. Fire Akina yesterday.

Truthfully....the irrational fan base is sucking the joy out of watching on Saturdays.... Hook'em

What place do we think we need to be in the Tuesday release to show that the committee is positioning to put Texas in at 9-3 with a win over #3 and a couple upsets? #13-14?

Carlton would be the least exciting of the flips to me. Our edge room feels the most healthy and I cant imagine him getting much run until year 3+.

His family has several UW grads. Texas does not control any recruit's family. Duh!

I'm not sure we let him flip, as much as he wanted to stay closer to home and he has family that played there, no?

You had TE's that could run it or that he actually utilized out of it. It's never really been that great blocking wise but this year might be one of the worst it's been. He should stick with 11 and go to 10, see what's what.

It has worked ok for us in past seasons by holy cow it is a disaster this year. And we've played 11 games, so it is what is. Not sure why Sark has throw away 10 plays a game checking to see if 12 personnel will finally work this week. Please stay in 11 vs A&M Sark.

How would our guys grade out against Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, Wisconsin, Maryland and Illinois? He’s a UW Legacy. Shouldn’t have surprised anyone that he flipped.

An experienced road grader would be what the doctor ordered. The guy that will get us the tough yards and can block.

Ranked as a top 20 freshman in the NCAA by ESPN as a a starter on Washington’s O-Line. Glad we let him flip!

Well pretty much everyone won, so gg? Lol. It seems like OU is similar to Texas last year. Good D and terrible O. Also, what was with that score with Georgia? All of a sudden they don't look as good offensively against some weak team lol.
