Playoff Seed - Team - Defensive FEI Rank 1. Oregon - 15 2. Georgia - 13 3. Boise St - 30 4. Arizona St - 34 5. Texas - 1 6. Penn St - 12 7. Notre Dame - 2 8. Ohio St - 3 9. Tennessee - 4 10. Indiana - 19 11. SMU - 10 12. Clemson - 23 Just in our side of the bracket alone we have the potential to play the 3rd, 4th, and 15th best defenses in the country. We will face Clemson who is a top 25 defense in the country as well. As you can tell from the above, every team in the playoff plays really good with Boise St(30) and Arizona St(34) being the lowest ranked defensive FEI teams. Clemson is very strong on the interior and across the front of their defense. That could present problems. At some point we will have to play better on offense because you can't solely rely on one side of the ball in a playoff. We will run into a team we will have to outscore.

This guy and the WKU guy would be 2 good ones to target early...especially if we want to sign 3-4 portal guys

It's a combination of stuff but he misses a lot of throws in the endzones and redzone because he tries to throw to spots on floaters. The only time he uses his arm IMO are on 1 read designed throws to receivers on whips our outs. You watch a lot of football and you see QBs always threading needles with arm strength in tight windows to get touchdowns. I just think if he doesn't have his first read in the redzone he doesn't know what to do. I think he severely lacks processing power needed to be a really good QB.

Quinn is what he is at this point though. We have his entire time at Texas save a handful of games where he is just absolutely dreadful in the red zone regardless of positive or negatives once we enter there. We were in the bottom 1/4 of teams last season in red zone efficiency and over the back half of this season I'd imagine we were the same.

This is our depth next season. Gullette is the great unknown if he will stay with program or progress enough to be a contributor. So outside of Hill, Lefau, and Smith we basically only have 2 true freshmen. My question would be do we only need 1 LB from portal or should we get 2 for depth purposes?

Keep Klub in the pocket, don't let him beat you with his legs....that's the key.

It’s because Quinn is a 1 read QB

Heard him and Big Bill are really good friends.....

I don't think one has entered that I'd truly go after yet. Oatis isn't good and has regressed....he'll be ranked high in portal simply based of his HS ranking.

Yup, he always says we should do XYZ after the fact but when it comes to it he never does. If Arch isn’t getting 10-20 snaps vs Clemson especially in the red zone that’s failure from Sark imo

And that won’t cut it when trying to win a national championship in the playoff.

Why don’t we? It’s the easiest way to upgrade that position with experience

ND, Clemson, Oregon, Penn St, Ohio State, Bama, and Tennessee all have really good fronts.

Surely after 9 weeks of wishing this it will come true.

And beck has led them to victories in multiple games including games where they have trailed. Has Quinn?

Yes

Beck is most certainly a better pick than Quinn for the NFL.

I’d bet Beck is selected before Quinn.

Vs Kentucky he was injured and so ineffective we had no choice but to run. Giving up a touchdown on a fumble. vs Arkansas he was ineffective so we had to run vs Vandy he was ineffective and we didn’t really move the ball rushing either. vs A&M he was ineffective and we had to run. Including two turnovers and throwing a pick 6 He’s been god awful in second half of games down the stretch of the last 6 games with or without context.

A truly good QB shouldn’t need the most perfect of circumstances or situations to be successful.

The o line was clicking vs Arkansas and A&M and the struggles were there including turnovers.

I saw this on another site but it’s not for red zone but rather second half. When you pair his red zone struggles with second half struggles it’s really bad performance.

Everything leading up to today is rankings for a tv show and to get engagement. Today is about seeding for a playoff. Don’t conflate those two things.
