OTF Mods and OGs - Among the pre-season rankings which team has the top starter(s) by position groups? Which team has the overall top starting line up? For example, I like Arch/Texas over Chambliss/Ole Miss, Moore/Oregon and Sayin/OhioState. While I like our running back room and Hollywood Smothers, I'll give Lacey/Ole Miss the edge. So far I have Texas slightly ahead of Ole Miss. While Ohio State might have the top wide receiver in Jeremiah Smith, I'll take Coleman, Wingo and Mosley over the Buckeyes receiver room. IU and Oregon also have a strong group. At tight end, Green/LSU and Johnson/Oregon seem to be the leaders. Many of the teams listed above all have talented offensive lines. Georgia and ND may be among the best but Texas, OSU and IU are represented well. Overall, the offensive talent at Texas looks slightly better than OSU, Oregon and IU. Switching to Defense... many believe Oklahoma has the best DL/Edge room but we all know that OU Sucks. Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas and the Irish are all stacked with talent. My money are on the Horns with Colin Simmons leading the way. At linebacker, Rasheem Biles is at the top of my board but I recognize Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa/ND is a top backer as well. Once again OU shows up well at linebacker as does Oregon and Ole Miss. Finally, as I review the talent in the secondary at Texas, we are strong with Bo Mascoe and Jelani McDonald. But ND is led by Leonard Moore and a host of others, Finney/Oregon, Bolden and Robinson/Georgia and LSU has a talented backfield. Collectively, Texas, OU, ND and Oregon are the most talented defensive units this year. Based on my review, Texas offense and defense looks as good or better than any team in the country. Oregon and ND should be very good. Ole Miss could be a dark horse. IU and OSU round out a very competitive, top heavy Big 10. Top to bottom the SEC is still the strongest conference.

Jack Endries catches a nice pass for a touchdown!

What time do we expect the commitment ceremony?

Thoughts and prayers to Jordan and the entire Shipley family. God bless and Hookem!

Jeff, thanks for further explaining the NFL fiscal management policy which Texas is employing. This certainly would make more sense if all teams (like the NFL model) were abiding by the same rules. Unfortunately, there are teams like Tech, Oregon and now USC operating under a different set of rules. Until we have an even playing field there's going to be a lot of frustration with college football. Is OTF expecting more uniformity in 2026 or more of the same?

I wish the CFP playoffs used a power ranking system with Joel's logic! https://youtu.be/xt-Xz9g5tFc Note: Not sure if the link will work but he has the Longhorns in his top 10 and OU was out!

Four interceptions for Beck. Unbelievable!

17-13 Texas! I can't pick OU for anything!

Texas 24-10

CJ, I understand some recruits get tired of the process while others may use it as leverage to gain financial incentives… what were the primary factors in Wesley’s decision to shut down his recruitment?

Easy renewal process. Grateful for the great program and the talented commentators!

Great to see the SEC dominating the rankings but also remarkable to see only one Big 12 team in the top 25!

From Austin and graduated UT in 1982 but moved to Cincinnati and started a business and family here 30 years ago. Still have family in Austin and go to a least one home and one away game per year. Also had a great time in Atlanta for NYE and the Peach bowl. Hookem!

Sorry if this topic exists elsewhere, but will On Texas Football be at the game. If so, where and what time can we find you boys? Hookem!

I don’t recall seeing Johntay.

Texas: 56 Miss St.: 6

That sounds great! Do you expect to BBQ a whole hog at the Razorback game too? We may need extra security on hand for that tailgate! Hookem!!!

Thanks Bobby. I’ll be there and look forward to meeting you! Hookem.

I’m planning to attend the game in the “North”. Is there an organized tailgate for OTF OGs at or near Michigan’s stadium?

Was Jonah Williams selected in the MLB draft?
