ESPN: If the CFP were today https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50289558/cfp-playoff-2026-bubble-watch-week-8

At the beginning of the year, I thought 2027 was shaping up to be a pretty massive rebuild. I assumed Arch, Cam Coleman, Melvin Siani, Trevor Goosby and Brandon Baker would all be gone. And if the season went the way I think most of us expected, I thought there was a real chance all three starting WRs could leave for the NFL, with maybe Emmett Mosley being the one guy who came back and stepped into the WR1 role. Seven games in, I’m not nearly as sure anymore. I love the idea of Arch and Cam running it back for one more year with another season of experience and development. But the thing that may actually change my outlook on 2027 the most is the offensive line. If Brandon Baker and Melvin Siani both come back, and you already have Dylan Sikorski returning, suddenly Texas isn’t replacing all five offensive linemen. You’re probably looking at replacing two starters, maybe three depending on how things shake out at center and tackle. That feels like a very different situation than the full rebuild I was expecting in August. Right now, I think Arch, Baker, Siani, Cam and Emmett Mosley would all benefit from coming back. On D, I am also hoping Cryer & Mascoe return. Who do you think actually returns? And which guys do you think are more likely to leave than I’m giving them credit for?

Money can’t buy class.. Seeing him act this way makes me really proud to be a longhorn 🤘🏻

And now I feel more confident about the 21.5 point spread with Kamario announced out for the rest of the season. Hate to see it, but he's got a very bright future.

The LSU game for us is the game.. A 9-3 SEC team very well might make the playoffs and if we beat LSU we’d have the head to head over LSU, Tennessee, and Ole Miss and those are teams that could finish 9-3..

So basically we're Charlie Brown and we're never going to get to kick that football 🏈 ...

Texas benefitted greatly from some poorly timed stunts by ole miss and some uncharacteristic poor play. And its about time because ou and Fl benefitted from some inexplicably poor Texas OL play. Whatever. Ill take it.

Third-quarter down under slump: You better run, you better take cover

Was an all-time choke job by Jon Scheyer

From NFL Blue Book: Only a few months ago, the quarterback class heading for the 2027 NFL draft looked special. “Oh yeah — there’s some dudes,” an NFL general manager said in August. “Right now, I’ve got five quarterbacks in the first round, if you include [Brendan] Sorsby.” The GM had been getting up at 4 a.m. during camp, watching film and writing two player reports a day in an effort to get ahead on his evaluations. And what he saw in those early morning hours was living up to predictions that another bumper crop of QB talent was heading for the league. “You think the quarterback class will hold up?” I asked. “Definitely,” he replied. “Between Dante Moore, we’ll see how the LSU kid Sam Leavitt plays and if his foot is OK. I think he could go in the first. The five, I think it’s [Notre Dame’s CJ] Carr, Arch [Manning of Texas], Dante, Leavitt and Sorsby, depending how he looks.” Less than three months later? It has not held up. “It’s almost the same story as last year,” one longtime executive told NFL Blue Book on Monday. “All the hype and buildup without people really asking the experts who have known all along that there were issues with all these guys. It’s so bad across the landscape of college football that the NFL is actually excited about a former walk-on [in Mestemaker], who never started a varsity game at quarterback in high school.” Full article is here... https://www.nflbluebook.com/p/week-7-recalibration-the-hyped-2027

This feels like a good thread to put this on

This post is gold! 🤣😂🤣😭

I still stand by my original thesis. Whatever Cody Campbell supports, Texas should be against.

Big Ten getting 4 teams in? OSU Indiania UCLA NW

The "Wemby benched" buzz mirrors exactly what has been unfolding in Austin.

I still don't know how that Duke team didn't win it all

I believe if we win out we’re in, so here’s what I think helps us if we lose another game. It’s still early to know exactly who to root for, but in general: 1. Upsets. Unranked or barely ranked teams beating top 10 teams is generally good 2. Hope Florida takes two more losses but doesn’t totally go in the tank. Want to avoid finishing with the same record as them because of the head to head, but don’t let them lose enough for it to become a “bad loss” like last year. 3. Speaking of going in the tank, Oklahoma losing out would be bad for the same reason. I’m never going to root for OU so I’ll leave it at that. 4. As others have said, root against ND. Hope Miami wins big and ideally they take another loss. 5. Ohio State winning helps the resume but could be tough without Sayin. If they lose, hope they lose at least twice. If we’re both 9-3 we have head to head. 6. I’m inclined to root for LSU over Alabama. If we lose to LSU we should come out ahead of bama in a resume competition I’m not even going into the Big 12 because…blech

10.38-second personal best in the 100-meter dash and a 4.34-second 40-yard dash. Rumors that senior transfer A.J. Swann is strongly being considered to start.
