I guess that's true but how this any different than how Texas approaches the game? Our schedule was much tougher so that's why the record is different but Tech is in the playoff and we are not.

obviously hasn’t watched our oline block.

This is silly. What are you going to do?

But Texas should have beaten Florida… or ohio state, or Georgia. don’t lose 3 games and none of us would be talking about this.

And could BYU even beat Miss State?

The more we spend time discussing meaningless bowl games before the playoff field is even set, the more we inadvertently legitimize this committee’s abhorrent decisions that undermine the sport of football. Bowl games belong to a different era; their relevance has faded. It would be unwise to invest energy—or risk injury to any of our key players—for something so trivial.

At least Texas Tech puts the money up behind it talk. Put up or shutup.

I think we would beat Tech by 17

He sure fell into a favorable situation that most coaches would kill for. It will be interesting to see if his success holds up in a revenue sharing environment.

Morton is wholly inaccurate against any sort of pass rush thus far.

Tech and/or BYU will be tragic in the playoffs

@Sarah Othanks for posting. 🤘

Don't lay down to this lazy committee narrative of "shoulda beat florida". I think that Texas is forever ruined unless the citizens make a manly, energetic effort to save themselves from that anarchy and confusion which are the worst of all evils - William B Travis

Joey McGuire is a mid football coach of a mid football program who was given a blank check to purchase success. It’s really that simple. Everyone outside of Lubbock knows this to be true.

Is it time to fire the NCAA completely? The NCAA has been driving the bus from the back seat most of its existance and doesn't really provide any direction, enforcement or purpose. Is it time for the schools to decide via their own conference by laws how they want to participate. Certainly the ADs can figure out where their school fits in. If I'm in a conference that wants to spend money, travel cross country and play in fromt of TVs then these are the rules we agree too play by. Schools can self police the conference and, by contract, punish and expel those who don't want to comply with the agreed to conference rules. Smaller schools may decide to have a different emphasis and set an agenda to play regional games with other less funded (or sports driven) schools. The goal maybe to provide entertainment and some level of on campus interest to their school without going bankrupt. Number of scholarships, salary caps, number of games played, recruiting rules can all be set by conference contract. Hey, I'm East Compass Point University and I want to challenge you Goliath-let's set up a game in April! Why not? Most of the structure currently in place wouldn't really change without the NCAA. The difference is the schools and conferences would determine their own rules and champions- maybe they challenge either other in the end too! But, the schools would be able to determine their own paths without paying for non-existant services.

Don’t accept defeat before the final decision is made. Saying “it’s over” or “should’ve beaten Florida” misses the point. If you carry that mindset into your work or home life, shake it off. Things can change—if you don’t give up.

I guess some things never change.

He’s got beef for some reason with Texas. At one point this year he was saying Bryce Underwood had proven to be better than Arch Manning

The committee chair seriously needs to get involved in politics. He can spin his story as good as any politician can. He’s never wrong, despite all evidence to the contrary. Desmond Howard can you please shut up? I am so tired of him saying Ohio State has played nobody. Even win other people say Texas, he’s silent and then repeats the same thing. Same guy that talked about Coach leaving.

Thanks for sharing

Keep that man or @Jonesyfam7 wont be well.

How about a ontexas football town hall special livestream this weekend to discuss the playoffs issue. I understand there some want to move on to recruiting or to 2026 but could be useful to have a meeting of minds solely on this issue and come up with ideas/ strategies to ensure committee accountability. Does the sport need a collection of appointed watchdogs from across the country tasked with overseeing this process throughout the season Could be respected and knowledgeable business or community leaders who love the sport and have the time and organizational capabilities.

No conference should get a guaranteed number of teams. Things change over time and power shifts are going to happen-especially with NIL free agency. Texas Tech comes to mind. The biggest problem with the committe is it doesn't have a unified goal for the post season. Do you want the best match ups? The highest revenue generation? Need to include smaller schools to recognize their season? Want to repeat conference match ups in the post season? They don't know what they want to do. Does Texas Tech vs MIami draw any attention? Would fans travel to see Oregon vs OLe Miss this year? Does a Texas A&M rematch with Notre Dame have any appeal? At least the original bowl system found interesting match ups and competitive games. Here's a thought -market based rankings. Fans send cash to the NCAA to vote for their team. The two teams raising the most cash play for the championship. The next highest revenue teams play for 3rd and foulrth etc. Or, in th altemative market based system, there is only one post season game allowed per team after the season. There are no bowl/conference affiliations. Bowls bid for teams at the end of the season. The two teams attracting the highest dollar bowl play for the Championship, the next highest paid pair play for 3rd and 4th etc. Let TV bid on the bowls after the teams are announced. Bowls will have to compete for teams making the teams alot of $$$$. Since we are all about the money now let the market decide. Didn't get a bowl bid? Challenge someone and split the gate. (Don't get excited, this is clearly not a serious proposal, but it probably makes as much sense as a committee that has different ideas about what they are trying to do with the post season.) One serious thought about the post season, all teams should have the option of practicing until the final game is played and not just the ones in the playoffs. That practice time is a huge advantage to teams with an extended season.

Tulane was ready for war last night. The Mean Green was too nice
