I have some doubt about Illinois too. Guards are most important in cbb and I'm not sure about their lead guard play. Not saying they'll be bad or anything, I just wonder if it limits their ceiling.

Because its their actual heights and you don't have to wonder who's got thicker heels, soles, etc boosting their actual height.

Is Southeastern Prep also playing OTE this year too?

Yup...even nailed the score perfectly.

I think people understand that but for a fanbase that had to endure late Mack Brown, Charlie Strong and Tom Herman not that long ago and were regularly dunked on by the likes of TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma St & Iowa St that we'd be more appreciative of a top 15 SEC road win. Oh and we're also currently ranked #1 on the country. We have to improve and if we play like we did today vs LSU or Florida we'll probably not like the result but we didn't have to play them today, we played Tennessee and won so enjoy it.

I figured Iowa Colony would be another high carry game especially considering how that game has gone the last two years unless IC lost a bunch of talent and isn't capable of reloading.

Freeman shot it very well from deep at his DII school and was okay at Auburn last year. I think he'll be pretty good and I expect a jump from David Punch as well now that he can actually see the rim

Texas - 26 Tennessee - 20

It is but that's actually an argument as to why the 12 team cfp is better as its currently constructed than if we go to 24. Oregon is playing a de facto elimination game Saturday vs USC because there's no way that team wins in the Shoe later in the year. That sense of urgency dies off if they increase to 24.

This weekend is big for the playoff picture as OU, the loser of aggy/lsu and potentially Oregon could find themselves in a really bad place if they lose Saturday. I don't see OU losing less than 3 games anyway with their schedule (more like 5 or 6) but if Oregon loses to SC, I don't see anyway that team gets it together enough to later go into the Shoe and win so they'd be at least a 3 loss team who wouldn't have a strong list of quality wins to get them in the cfp. They're playing for their cfp lives on Saturday.

Texas - 66 UTSA - 7

Yeah, he's always reminded me of those TEs/H-Backs that OU used to terrorize us with.

Everyone was wondering who would be the top 10 team to disappoint ala Penn St & Clemson last year. Of the consensus top 7 I couldn't find a real candidate but it looks like Oregon replacing their OC & DC may put them in that category. OU is another top 10 that could have their season implode as well.

This might actually allow he who shall not be named to see the field now.

Before the latest scandals with Harbaugh, Stallions & Moore. Michigan & Texas had a lot in common and our rivals (OU & tOSU) also share very similar traits.
