https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R22Yw83OUbo Five top 10 ranked opponents played 6-1 2nd half of season. Four of those teams ranked in top 10 and 3-1 in those games. Didn’t play at home for 42 straight days 3-2 against top 10 with only losses to Georgia and Ohio St on road and outgained OSU by 150+ yards with chance to tie or win at end of game. Teams in front of Texas that haven’t played any top 10 teams. Is this about what your record is or your quality? Dig at Miami for throwing fade TD at end of game for style points Is committee watching games? What are they doing differently then the AP if they just look at the loss column? If they’re only looking at losses then no reason to schedule difficult non-conference games.

I still think they'd throw Alabama in, atleast in the past they viewed the conference championship game as extra credit and aren't gonna ding them very hard. Then, again if they don't view the Ohio State game as extra credit ADs everywhere are gonna reevaluate those big OOC games.

Cam Coleman is that . He would technically be redundant. Marsh is a good player and I think on Par with Wingo. Wingo doesn’t play big.

This is the problem I had when DeBoer took the job in Tuscaloosa - and it is frankly the problem I have when any HC at a program capable of winning a national championship leaves for another program (cough, Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin). Was he that desperate to avoid the W/L stain of a post-Penix Washington Huskies program? With Kiffin in particular, how can he now say that winning a national championship is important to him? He had a team this year that is as capable as any this season, a down year for college football.

Mosely and really Wingo/Livingstone too all 6"3 big targets with decent hands.

Who is he redundant to?

Don’t need 2 redundant receivers. Pass on Marsh. Need a speed demon.

I think they will be more competitive than 2023 FSU with a backup QB. That team would have gotten curb stomped. As Bobby Bowden once said, it’s more about the Jimmies and the Joes. Ole Miss may be deficient in the X’s and O’s. But they still have the same Jimmies and Joes, and I’m sure they will be competitive. But again, bottom line all we have is conjecture. In 2023 we literally had evidence FSU didn’t look good and could barely move the ball against a mediocre Louisville team. It would have been much more controversial if FSU’s QB went down late in that Louisville game after a resounding win and we didn’t get the on field evidence of the dip in play

Staff here said they expect big adds and some attrition at WR. CJ said to watch for Ffrench Our WRs are good but we likely need a true number 1

Unless we’re expecting another year of zero contribution from this year’s Freshman I don’t see spending on WR unless it was someone special that gave us something we didn’t have. Taking a high dollar WR would beg the question what the hell happened with the last WR class? Poor evaluation, poor development or both?

figured since Fawcett announced it, it's true.

Gerry has aid that the staff really likes Cruz, but he may need another year to develop. He will most likely compete for the job next year though

Yes the QB true freshman played poorly but they still won. You think Ole Miss is the same team without Kiffin?

The difference between Ole Miss and FSU is that FSU played a game without their QB and PROVED they were not as good without him. Right now, it’s purely an assumption that Ole Miss is worse without Kiffin. However valid that assumption may seem or prove, it’s still purely an assumption. Which is materially different than the FSU case

I would like to see what the Bama fan base would do if Georgia beats Bama by two scores and Bama gets left out of the playoffs.

This is an interesting one. Dude is top 10 in FBS solo tackles this season (61). Eck and Lampron are good options for a one-year SR LB but they have to enter. I'm curious to see if Chambliss enters from SDSU. RS Jr. from Cali that started at Utah (played 4 games) then went to SDSU. 6'3 230lb 106 tackles (61 solo) 9.5 TFL 4 sacks. That's a big WR right there. Didn't take long for a good one to hop in.

I think TEXAS has a 1 in 50 chance of making it into the playoffs.

Is Cruz going to be a player? He seems like a mystery man, not much written about him.

Would love Nick Marsh and

Wouldn’t really want Durham tbh. He looks to have not maintained his speed while adding weight. Speed was his elite trait. Idk maybe that’s something that can be fixed but not a sure thing.

Offensive line.

Not CJ but definitely OL

The playoff committee has a mess. Ole Miss lost their coach are they a playoff team now? They kept FSU out with undefeated season and conference championship just because they lost their QB. Should Bama lose is it fair to not punish Bama and yet punish Texas for losing to OSU. Both have a bad loss and Florida did beat FSU. If Georgia wins by two scores how can Bama be #1 seed in SEC. Georgia is playing on a high level now. If the committee wanted to pick a darling Vanderbilt right now with Pavia is the media story. Pavia will probably be in NY for the heisman and the committee could justify taking them. I don’t agree with Bama or Vanderbilt if you did that what is the justification for leaving Texas out despite going 3-2 against top playoff teams. I also don’t believe Texas is a playoff team this year to inconsistent and you don’t know what team will show up.

It's been stated multiple times by the mods that there is no indication of royal reclassifying as of now
