Ok Hook'Em.

Alabama is 100% on the bubble. Their resume is not that great. They need the extra win to remove all doubt. If SMU had 2 losses going into the ACC championship game, they would have lost their spot to one of the 3-loss SEC teams.

The personification of the "old man yells at cloud" meme.

Niblitt is one of the best returners if not the best in the country but how much is that worth when you are a below average WR, $250k?

Fan Duel currently has Texas at +1300 to get in

If you think people hate Texas now, sneak us into the playoffs and you’ll see hate alright 😂🤘🏼

Top 5 Reasons it could be a good thing for Texas to miss the playoffs. Not sure I’m on board with the overall theme but if we are gonna miss the playoffs, I do agree that Arch’s development this month with 15 practices plus ability to focus more on roster maximization (player retention, recruiting, portal) could be a positive result. Plus, if we are gonna miss tye playoffs, I absolutely love the idea of playing Michigan in the midday time slot on 12/31 before the first quarterfinal that night. Texas has oppty to make a big statement to the committee, similar to Georgia 2 yrs back against FSU. https://apple.news/ArUnn0v7FR_SktCQy4T10Ug

All good. I just can't believe agents want 15% of rev share. That's just nuts to me.

Brando = Maximum POS.

IMO there is a world where the committee actually follows their stated criteria (SOS and head to head prioritized) and puts us ahead of ND and/or OU. It's not likely but it is possible. I don't see us slipping in at #12 or whatever.

All true. In short, Texas has a Miami problem. Florida schools are our downfall this year.

The BYU coach's agent may have just been posturing for money. I haven't seen anything taking DeBoer out of the mix, and if he lands at PSU, that is a great get.

😭😭

Hey now…let’s not go crazy.

As you should. I want you to roast me and call me awful names. Also I’ll stop being mean to Gerry and CJ deal? 🫡

If we do, imma bump this.

If we get to #12 tonight at least there’s a glimmer of hope heading into the weekend. Slight, but still a glimmer. If we land at #13 tonight (likely), we’ve got zero hope heading into this weekend. At least #12 allows you to hope a blowout loss by Bama to UGA, combined with the expected loss of BYU to Tech, may open up the #10 spot in the final rankings for a 3-loss Texas to edge a 3-loss Bama. Of course, there’s no guarantee that would happen, but at least the conversation would take place among the Committee members. This nullifies hopes for Texas or Miami. Personally, I don’t take there will be any changes in the top 10 from what is announced tonight to the final rankings next week. Even if Bama loses to UGA, I think they remain at #10 and make the playoffs with 3 losses. The Committee would be creating a massive disincentive for all teams going forward if making it to your conference championship game can cost you a spot in the Playoffs you already earned. Going forward, teams would intentionally lose just to avoid their conference championship games (for example, either Ohio St or Indiana could have intentionally lost last weekend to avoid the Big Ten CG, and they’d still make the playoffs). The only teams not locked in stone at this point are the 2 teams to get the #11 and #12 spots in the playoffs after the AAC, Sun Belt, and ACC championship games this weekend. AND, if BYU beats Tech, that likely kicks Alabama out of the playoffs at #10 (assuming they lose to UGA). Both BYU and Tech are in the playoffs at that point.

Im sure the staff would evaluate his film and be very thorough before they even put the full court press on him, But i am a sucker for fast wide receivers, who are a nightmare in space, can take the top off of a defense and we don’t have ANY of those on the roster.

Texas needs to be ahead of miami to have a chance, and then hope byu loses and alabama gets slaughtered

Penn St. fired Franklin early hoping to get a jump on a coaching search only to be left out in the dust with no great options. They aren't who they think they are.

Um, lack of understanding?

I think the absolute lowest we could be to still have a chance would be 12.

Penn state is in shambles 😭

So they say but it’s not set in stone. Last year Texas and Penn St both lost and only dropped one spot because Georgia jumped them. SMU lost and got jumped by idle Indiana and Boise who won. The key thing is SMUs drop only hurt their seeding. It didn’t push them out. I doubt the committee would eliminate a CC loser like Alabama without cover from some other circumstance like a coach leaving or major injury. BYU is a little different. They’re not technically in right now (10 is the cutoff because of the 2 auto bids), so I could see them dropping if they lose.
