They had major problems on defense last year and I’m not the biggest Tom Allen fan. Their talent should be able to make up for that because the ACC is bad. Offense should be fun.

The TCU-Georgia title game should’ve told the country all it needed to know about the difference in the LOS talent between the two conferences. The SEC and Big Ten are so far ahead of the other conferences because of LOS talent.

I thought Cooper Beebe would end that drought in 2024. Turns out his arms were incredibly short in comparison to other prospects. But he has turned into quite the center for the Cowboys after being selected in the 3rd.

That is the last time the Big12 had an offensive linemen drafted in the first round from a program other than OU, Texas or TAMU. Outside of those teams, Big12 has had 5 OL drafted in the first round this millennium. We all know the OL draft woes Texas has had- yet Texas has still had more first round OL this Millenium than any current or former Big12 program other than OU or TAMU (3: Kelvin Banks, Leonard Davis, Mike Williams). It's quite clear the NFL doesn't think highly Big12 offensive lines.

They may be early on Clemson, but Clemson has a QB who could be big-time, and that's extremely important. Not hard to set a high floor for a team with a top-level signal caller.

He saw that Ojo camp tape and wants to dominate practices!

Clemson is easily the favorite but people are putting the cart before the horse with them. They squeaked by a couple of bad (some very bad) teams last year and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them trip up once or twice in conference. Then they have LSU and USCe OOC

Whom OU hires will determine OU's future in athletics. Castiglione was the reason for Riley leaving and Venables hiring. The AD hire is critical for OU's future in the SEC.

Guyton is a reclass candidate too.

Did they just blitzkrieg the nation with deals before the house settlement? Would be a savvy move if so.

Why I put a $100 on Cade to win the Heisman at 10-1. He might be responsible for 50+ TD’s this fall in that league.

Outside of Clemson, when was the last time the ACC was any good? 1987?

Clemson cake walk coming soon.

Total stud. Top player in the country imo. Texas had not offered.

We live in strange times. https://x.com/rivals/status/1942255523983966700?s=46

Again, as expected https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45658616/2025-acc-college-football-projections-preview

I wouldn't read that deep into it. I don't think its about the schools that we are perceiving they are disrespecting, its more about themselves and the schools they are committing too. Is it a bit narcissistic? Yeah, but we are also talking about 17 year olds.

Get some fresh air man

I’ve witnessed 2-3 recruits throw a Longhorn hat on the ground during live commitments. OUR STAFF AND PLAYERS use all available resources to give these recruits a great experience on their OV’s and in constant communication for months building these relationships treating them as major priorities. I haven’t seen or heard of this happening elsewhere, although I’m sure it does. I know there’s not a direct explanation. However, it’s hard to fathom, especially in-state recruits. I guess I’m not understanding where the behavior is coming from, especially a K Finley. Regardless of his statement he put out to all the schools after the fact. PRAYERS TO ALL TEXANS IN NEED RIGHT NOW. Hook’em

The Athletic ranked the top 100 rivalries in college football and Texas gets three on the list, including two in the top 15. 38. Texas vs Arkansas First Meeting: Nov. 29, 1894 What to know: When Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992, this was a top-15 rivalry. It has a chance to inch upward now that they’re in the same conference again, but it’s unlikely the stakes will be as high annually as they were in the Southwest Conference. The SEC competition is too fierce and too much time has passed. From 1925 through Arkansas’ departure, the Razorbacks were the only non-Texas team in the SWC, which added to the saltiness between the programs. They’ve met 18 times as ranked opponents, and it was the nation’s best series from 1959-72, when both were ranked in 10 of their 14 matchups. Six of those games were top-10 matchups and four were decided by four points or less. Arkansas’ 42-11 win against Texas in 1981 remains the largest defeat by an AP No. 1 team against an unranked opponent since 1942. Biggest game: No. 1 Texas faced No. 2 Arkansas in a “Game of the Century” on Dec. 7, 1969, in Fayetteville, and it lived up to the hype. The schools agreed to move their game back to have a larger national platform, and the Hogs took a 14-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Texas rallied for 15 points and clinched the SWC title with an interception at its 21 with 1:13 left. President Richard Nixon attended the game and declared Texas the national champion. 15. Texas vs Texas A&M First Meeting: Oct. 19, 1884 What to know: When it comes to pure passion, few can match this one. But the win-loss column is fairly uneven and there aren’t nearly as many ranked matchups as other rivalries. Its fierce competition, however, keeps it as a top-15 rivalry. Both universities mention the other in fight songs. The opening lyric to “Texas Fight” begins “Texas fight, Texas fight, and it’s goodbye to A&M.” The second verse of “Aggie War Hymn" starts with “Good-bye to Texas University. So long to the orange and the white.” Their rivalry has spanned three leagues. Both competed as Southwest Conference members from 1915 until it dissolved after 1995. The Longhorns and Aggies (plus Baylor and Texas Tech) merged with the Big Eight to form the Big 12 in 1996, and their mutual association lasted until 2012, when Texas A&M left for the SEC. Texas and Texas A&M reunited in 2024 when the Longhorns joined the SEC. Both teams have been ranked in 11 matchups, with Texas holding an 8-3 edge. They've met in the top 10 twice (1941, 1975) with each team winning one. Biggest game: It was only fitting that No. 6 Texas and No. 16 Texas A&M met with the final Southwest Conference title at stake in 1995. Behind Ricky Williams’ 164 rushing yards and a defense forcing six turnovers, the Longhorns won 16-6 at Kyle Field to clinch their 19th outright SWC championship. 3. Texas vs Oklahoma First Meeting: Oct. 10, 1900 What to know: With two of the nation’s winningest programs, the Oklahoma- Texas result regularly impacts the national title hunt and, for the last three decades, conference titles. They’ve had 10 top-five collisions (Oklahoma leads 5-4-1) in five different decades, and the No. 1 team has played 13 times in this series. “The Red River Rivalry” is a legacy-defining game and often produces unpredictable outcomes. Oklahoma-Texas has called the Cotton Bowl in Dallas home since 1932. The seating arrangement splits at the 50-yard line with crimson and burnt orange circling opposite sides of the field. Oklahoma-Texas has an unusual trajectory among rivalries. They briefly competed together in the Southwest Conference (1915-19), then battled as nonconference foes from 1920 until their leagues merged into the Big 12 in 1996. In 2024, they joined the SEC together. The rivals have played 44 times as AP-ranked foes (Oklahoma 24-17-3) and 17 times as top-10 foes (Oklahoma 9-7-1). Biggest game: Of their 10 top-five matchups, the 1975 clash at the Cotton Bowl had the biggest national title impact. Texas rallied from a 10-point deficit to tie the score in the fourth quarter, before Oklahoma FB Horace Ivory burst up the middle for a 33-yard TD with 5:31 left to win 24-17. The Sooners finished 11-1 and claimed the AP national championship. Texas finished 10-2 and sixth in the final poll.

Another hire they have to get right. Let's hope they flop!
