Thunder Island - Jay Ferguson

pay the $500k and get out of ND 2 game home and home. Make the playoff, Play ND in December when their SOS will be in the 60s

thats not a smart mentality. it cost us a playoff spot in 2025 and will again in the future. If you continue to bash your head against a system that is against you, its on you then

I’d like to hear more of the specifics. Strength of record should be well down the list of considerations. It’s more difficult to do, but that can be manipulated. The strength of schedule is far more appropriate, but I’m guessing that needs tweaking. It’d be appropriate for teams only playing 4 games away from home should be dinged for that. And when you play 42 days away from home, those 3rd and 4th games are more difficult than they otherwise would be if they were the 1st and 2nd (last game of a trip). And whatever morons couldn’t figure out margin of victory years ago sure shouldn’t be consulted now. Winning by 28 is far more impressive than winning by 1 and should be incorporated. But, no two late TDs to win by 28 is not the same as leading by 28 heading into the 4th. We have stats that remove garbage time. That can be modeled here and include caps of some sort too. I am not certain where you the draw the line, but Travis out as QB at FSU is enough to leave them out several years ago. But when Dallas Wilson plays his first game and it’s against our backup CB, that is a factor. I don’t think he or Brown played versus Ole Miss at Ole Miss. That was tight late. I don’t expect that thought to be modeled, but I would hope that the committee would delve that deep into things. The Aggies tackling the interior pass rusher for ND on the last play shouldn’t be forgotten either I do not believe the committee has a great grasp on games because I’d wager they’re too busy glad handing and focusing on their programs to give tons of attention elsewhere. Hell, I don’t think are a ton of people that have a great understanding, but there’s a lot more people that take in more live action and have better insight than they do.

Sark came with receipts

You mean his wife's share of his money, right??

A coach we know and respect??? 🤔

And where are the computer rankings any more??? At least they have no legacy team biases!

I don't mind playing tough OOC opponents, we're not scared to play them even when we were down. No reason to change that now since we're up. But I don't want to play ND because they literally have a whole schedule full of cupcakes and skate on by during the season. Either join a conference or you should not be allowed to compete for the playoffs.

Except a 20 point loss to Texas would show the CFB World how truly bad they are!! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Only if ESPN and NBC are paying attention! It looks like they are not, though.

From the article: “Per sources in the room, one league coach whose team was in the playoff mix but did not make the field said he felt worse after hearing the presentation than he did when his team was excluded on Selection Sunday.”

Texas Tech and Cody Campbell’s money.

UCLA was the best team in the final 4

I was on campus at the same time - he wasn't "Mongo" until later with the Bears, his college nickname was "Bam Bam" after the club wielding wild child in the Flintstone's show. The possibilities of tie-ins with Hanna Barbera were probably endless. Seriously he was an All America by his senior year so would have likely gotten top rate for a DL

Here is the fun part of the year where Texas jumps up the leaderboard quick. Texas has 21 sports total and has competed in 15/33 scored sports so far. That means, of the 6 remaining sports, Texas competes in all 6. And we tend to score nicely in all 6 too (M Golf, Softball, Baseball, Rowing and outdoor T&F x2). T&F is down this year, especially the women, but that shouldn't keep us from winning the Directors' Cup.

I don't think many kids are Kelvin Banks level. That dude came in late, took the starting job and was one of the best T's in college ball for 3 years straight.

I stand corrected after learning that Camara advised the schools ahead of his decision being released to the public.

If only Jordan Lee and Maddie Booker could shoot that game. We were better than UCLA.

Much like Logan Eggleston was one of Coach Elliott's favorite recruits, I believe Rori Harmon is one of Coach Vic's favorite recruits (she was his first offer at Texas) and he really wanted to win a championship for her and had the team that was able to do it. He probably views it as letting it get away and that he failed to deliver.

I’m so much more screw ND and everyone back out of playing them so they have no one left (join a conference already) than I am let’s not play them bc they’re formidable
