Bobby i agree with your coffee and football but I don’t know how they fix it. The conferences are just so different. The SEC wants to play a 9 game schedule and beat up on each other and the other conferences play nobody and keep a clean record. I mean do you put a 3-4 loss LSU or Oklahoma in over and 11-1 from an easy conference? You know they are better than the 11-1 team. Strength of schedule needs to be at the top. CJ was right a 24 team playoff will eliminate some of this because then you can let both of them in. I just don’t like a 24 team playoff because it’s too many and too many games and probably a bunch of blowouts. If you are the 24th best team you shouldn’t be in the playoffs. It’s a mess either way I think. These are supposed to be college kids…..i know they are not but they are supposed to be. They don’t need to be playing more games than the NFL

Tbh I find it kinda hard to feel bad for the SEC teams in these conversations because they played a massive part in super conferences even being a thing. You made your bed, now you have to lie in it.

Getting Masunas back would be ideal. Winston doesn’t seem to have his body in the right place whenever he makes a catch. It takes him an extra step to get moving upfield and that extra step allows defenders to stop the YAC.

With an emphasis on finding starters in the secondary sounds like the Jonah Williams experience is over.

I would suggest we look at 2 things:

Texas based players that have excelled and would love to come home for their last year.....Makuba, Trey Moore, Cryer, Brad Spence Punch (BB), Swann (Softball). Since we recruit nationally, there are so many Texas players that we didn't have room for (Leanord Moore, Lacy at Ole Miss, Anthony Evans)

Great all conference players on average teams - Biles, Cryer, Geffrard, Mascoe

Spending NIL on offensive lineman that sit on the bench for 2 years is not the best use of resources

Good stuff @Bobby Burton

Another key off season question…

Will Sark make the move to upgrade the OL by replacing Flood?

PK was replaced (though he didn’t display any grievous shortcomings) in an effort to produce an elite defense - mission accomplished.

For two years we have seen too many negative gains in the running game, too many times had our QB running for his life, and witnessed unresolved OL issues continuing through most of the season.

This type of performance doesn’t seem like the best way to attract and retain elite skill players on offense. OR win national championships.

This off season it seems like it is time to go to the “coaching portal” for a new OL coach.

That seems like the prudent move - or am I missing something?

Winston has the best hand of them all. Masunas is slow as molasses, but he can block.

What an impressive attitude you present. Smile when you say that.

Okay, cool. Hook 'em.

Give me a fact based counter. I'll wait.

Bobby, thank you for being real about the rankings. Not sure why everyone in the world seems scared or hesitant to act like all wins are not equal. South Carolina, Mizzou, and LSU would all spank UCLA, Tech, Wake Forest, Houston etc. Also, why is Miami ranked at 7? ND was in their spot last week with wins vs nobody and a loss vs the only good team they played and was ranked 11.

Miami has not earned 7 at all. ND has not earned 5 at all either. Beat a fake #1 without their superstar.

24 team playoff will at least expose the frauds in the early rounds I guess. If this year was 24, as of yesterday’s rankings Tech would host LSU in the first round. Can’t wait to watch teams like them get trounced.
