Head-to-head still has to mean something. If Texas gets ranked behind Ohio State, Ole Miss, or Tennessee after beating them, then why did we bother playing the games? Win the next few and this whole debate takes care of itself. 🤘🏻

There is absolutely no chance we will be behind Ole Miss or Ohio State.

No no no it’s #fireflood

In the SEC, you need a solid run game every week. i believe we have the weapons, but we are not utilizing them. We need backs who can break tackles and do not go down easily. in that category we have Terry, Cooper and Brown. Smothers has his gifts, but if you need 3 yards for a first down, he might give you 2. OL has been an issue all year in both run game and pass protection. It isn’t going away soon. If we are going to surrender gap dominance, at least give the ball to a RB who can somewhat compensate for that by breaking a tackle or two

No matter what you gotta fire flood after this year

Before the last touchdown Manning threw, Terry and Cooper were running hard and had a jolt of energy and the line started blocking better. It really doesn't make any sense how they can still be this bad for this long now. Arch looked bloody, battered and bruised in that game, and it's a damn shame that Sark and Flood seemingly don't give a damn that their quarterback takes a beating.

It's the internet position.

Watched a good amount of the Texas State @ Boise State game last night. I was thinking, what if Texas hired GJ Kinne to be their real OC and offensive play caller? I'm not convinced Kinne would be a great CEO of an entire football program, but his offenses are pretty good. Have him be the "HC of the offense" and like Muschamp, bring in his own guys for his offensive staff. Obviously, this won't happen, but just a thought.

Sark: “We found out about [running back] Michael Terry in the midst of all this because of the Hollywood Smothers injuries and the Derek Cooper [injury] stuff.”

Historically the committee values head to head wins above quality or strength of losses.

it seems like we'll be 9th behind Alabama but just ahead of OSU and Ole Miss. based on results, that seems the most obvious place for Texas. Alabama's win over MSU was much more impressive and they were ranked ahead of us last week (and had a bye). will be interesting to see whether Indiana drops back a place or two. it looks like there could be 5 new ranked teams this week given losses at the bottom of the rankings. Not impactful, but interesting/fun to see some new teams ranked. Iowa for sure. New Mexico? Oregon State? USC again (probably).

Exactly, I get the OU loss I guess, but you can’t lose to a bad UF team at home. Especially the way you lost those games, by letting up.

Based on everyone’s eyes telling them he is the best runner but him getting one carry.

Gerry and CJ both said this on a couple of threads.

Based on what?

Apparently he is “in the dog house”. Do we have any clarification on why this is or is it just conjecture because he is healthy and not playing much?

Should be - not so sure will be. I think we'll be behind Alabama, OSU, and possibly Ole Miss. 🤘

Texas will ranked between 6-9. Teams ahead of Texas in no particular order, Miami, Georgia, ND, Utah, BYU, UCLA. Texas will be ahead of OSU, Ole Miss

Texas No. 9 https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50321732/projecting-2026-playoff-top-12-week-9-cfp

The solution is to win out and finish the regular season 10-2 and take it out of the committee's hands. If Texas doesn't make it at 9-3, so be it. Can't use the playing Ohio State in non-con excuse this season because you beat them. Stop losing to average to below average football teams.

With the first CFP seedings coming out this week, it feels like the polls this week are going to be very interesting and I don't think Texas is going to like what happens... There is going to be a logjam of 2 loss teams, including Texas, and now also Ohio State, Ole Miss, and TN, all wins for Texas, but who all have arguably better losses. Through in LSU, Alabama, and USC... It feels like pollsters might lose Texas in the middle of all those. I predict both OSU and Alabama and possibly Ole Miss are ranked higher than Texas despite the head to heads. Normally, I might not worry about it at this point in season, and it feels like we still have some things to prove to earn it, but with such a logjam of teams between about 8 and 15, and w/ Boise and ND reserved spots, it feels unusually important to have the right pecking order set now even before we have to go on road and take care of business. If we do that I'm pretty sure we are in. I still think things sort out over time, just that it is maybe more important than usual to get this initial ranking right to avoid someone else making the decision down the road - especially if we are also thinking there is any chance for a 3 loss invite... 🤘
