Great post. Certainly, think either are possible but hoping one plays out.

That's not technically true. The top 5 conference champs get a guaranteed spot. ACC is so bad this year, their conference champion may be behind the American and JMU. In that case, the ACC would be left out. I don't think anyone ever dreamed of a scenario where a P4 champion could be behind two G5 champs, but here we are.

@Gerry Hamilton I’m disappointed

The loss to Florida where Texas crap the bed really hurts here. Without that, Texas is top 8 easily and can afford to lose 1 of the next three without fear or hope. Instead they either need to run the table or hope they get a shot at 9-3 assuming they don’t totally crap the bed and lose 2-3.

2!

Arky calling Walmart was great

Wasn’t there a game last night 👀

I would love to see the kid in burnt orange, but that is a lot to overcome. Its going to be a tough pull.

So on time today. Wonder if Gerry can get a College Football Weekly Thread started today, too

Very real point of view imo.

Livingstone?

Joe Brady next in line for an NFL HC Job. Highly doubt he’d pass that up so he can go report to Gov Landry and that toxic environment.

The Florida loss still stings no matter how we look at it and it only looks worse the further we get into the season. Ok, move on. Texas is climbing and building momentum in Nov as we tackle the toughest 4-game stretch in recent memory. Which scenario will take further shape after this weekend? First, before going there, a quick flashback. it was only 2 1/2 weeks ago that Texas trailed by 17 pts going into the fourth quarter against Miss St before Arch decided it was time to do his thing, the defense went into lockdown and Niblett proved he can again change any game in 8 secs. Texas outscored MSU 31-7 in Q4 and OT, marking the most impressive comeback in the past 20 yrs. We have life!!! Going into the Vandy game, lots of questions for #20 against an impressive #9 Vandy. which version of Texas would show up? Texas dominates Vandy on offense, looks vulnerable on defense without 3 starters in the secondary but begins to look like a team who could get on a roll (if everyone gets healthy), jumping from #20 to #10 over the past 2 weeks. Holy $hi+, a lot has changed since our anemic showing against Kentucky late last month. How can you not love this team and their fight? How can you not love college football and all the different scenarios that could still unfold. 3 scenarios I’m interested to watch on Saturday. All of these assume OU loses to Bama earlier in the day as Mateer hasn’t been the same since his thumb injury. 1) Favorite - Texas goes into Athens and pulls a ‘23 Bama 2.0, looking explosive on offense, overpowering on defense, game changing on ST and pulls off a 30-20 upset win, making it clear that Texas is a legit playoff contender and likely favorite against A&M in 2 1/2 weeks. 2) Most Likely - Similar to the SEC championship, Texas comes out strong and gets off to early lead but Kirby does his thing and Georgia pulls out close win, 27-23. 3) Least Likely - Similar to the beat down we took from Georgia last fall in Austin, our OL gets overwhelmed, Arch is running for his life all night, 4 sacks and we get punished 34-17. In scenario 1, the stage is set for evenly matched game against A&M (Texas favored by 4pts) then on to play Bama in SEC Championship, winning our first SEC championship in year 2. On path to play Ohio State in College Foitball NC for epic rematch, Arch wins ‘player of the game’ as Texas wins it all. Unlikely but still possible and fun thought to imagine, especially given all the early season struggles. In scenario 2, Texas still has very real chance to beat undefeated #3 A&M, giving us 3 high quality wins and enables Texas to sneak into the #11 spot of the playoffs We go on a run early in the playoffs but lose again in the semi-finals but this time it’s Oregon. In scenario 3, we lose to A&M as well, finish 8-4, miss the playoffs and the team is filled with fire to never let that happen again. No one likes how it ended, everyone comes back and 2026 is set for Texas to win it all as a much more seasoned team, ready to explode on Ohio State in Austin next Sept. Which scenario will unfold on Saturday? Lots of other scenarios with other teams also will unfold over the next 3 weeks. Has college football ever been better? Loving it!! Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Technically they could move Spence back to LB, no? Considering you're losing Hill, if nothing pops in the portal there.

Haven't heard EDGE is a spot Texas will be after in the portal - to this point. If none of the returning EDGE guys leave, tough to see a dude looking for opportunity like this one saying Texas is it ... if Simmons, Jackson, Spence, Zina etc... are back.

Too early for me on that. Need to get to and through the OV November 22-23, and see what LSU does with their timing. He's 25-30 mins traffic dependent from LSU campus. He committed to LSU early, and never wavered until Kelly's firing ... despite offers from from all the SEC powers.

I’m sure Tom Herman and Charlie Strong are available for $7m/yr not guaranteed. LSU isn’t getting Kiffin or anyone close if they are going to play this game. Make sure you have plenty of popcorn, this is probably a double feature.

Somewhat agree. This trade never happens without Dumont (and family) approving. So why did the family (Dumont) approve? Once the gaming / betting legislation failed to pass in Texas, the family focused on cutting costs of a franchise they no longer are interested in owning (in Dallas). What better way to cut costs than to avoid paying a SuperMax contract to an oft-injured, frequently conditioning challenged superstar player? The NBA then steps in and tells the family that if they don’t try to relocate the franchise to Vegas, they can replace Doncic with the #1 pick (Flagg) on a nice, cheap rookie contract. Everybody wins, except the Dallas fans (unless Flagg becomes a Luka-level superstar). At least that’s how I understand the conspiracy 😂.

Buyouts aren't going anywhere if Jimmy Sexton has anything to say about it. LSU is embarrassing themselves. Pay the man and move on.

Also the way he moves and the athleticism is crazy for a guy his size. I hope we're able to flip him to Texas but he may still sign with LSU regardless.

Why would any decent coach take the LSU job when they are backing out on Kelly’s contact by trying to fire him for cause? I hope Kelly sues the sh*t out of those coonass bastards.
