Unbelievable. How did TK and the Lady Horns just dominate a really good Bama team the way they did? Absolutely awesome!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

That would be an insanely fun matchup. Two of the top QB, top WRs, high scoring offenses, could come down to which defense can shut down the aerial assault. Fun to think about.

Given the science that correlates # of first round draft picks to probability of playing for national championship, Pate took 4 mock drafts and built an average composite. Drum roll…. By far, the two teams with the most expected #1 draft picks in 2027 are: Texas (4.25) -vs- Oregon (3.75) Next 3 in order were LSU (2.5), Bama (2.25) and Notre Dame (2.25) I’d take a national championship between the Horns and Ducks all day long. Let’s see if the final season results prove Pate correct. Let’s go. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

This. Yes. Agree.

I view it differently. These marquee non-conf early season matchups are great for college football. They are great for recruiting (the best players want to play the best and be on center stage) and they’re awesome for getting an early season gauge on our team as the Horns build depth and confidence through the season, leading up to playoffs. Last season, had it been a 24-team playoff, Texas would have hosted a first round game. We were peaking down the stretch. The OSU loss would have meant far less in the 24-team format. Hook em! 🤘🏼🐂🧡

Disagree. Making College Football even better. 30 years ago, we didn't even get to have Top 2 teams play for national championship. Enough with the 'Old College Football Format was better' BS. JMHO.

We had some fun exchanges back in February on the topic of expanding to 24 teams in D1 College Football. I hope it now becomes reality. The entire month of December would become the single best month of the season for college football. Playoffs and home games the first two weeks followed by NY Day and College Football Championship. Absolutely love that this model is picking up needed support from coaches across NCAA. The one additional change I wish they could find a way to adjust is having the National Championship Game on weekend evening instead of Monday night. I get they don't want to compete against the NFL but College Football Championship game seems a bit diminished on a Monday night. Would much prefer Friday night or Saturday night as options that would enable the party of all parties a full month ahead of Super Bowl. jmho. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏽🐂

I was posting support for this model a year ago on OTF and everyone sprayed bullets at me. lol. 🤪 I absolutely love the 24 team model. Love that every team in the Top 16 gets to host a home game in the playoffs. Love that the Top 8 teams get a bye. Love that they want to finish the season before NFL playoffs are too far underway. I also think this model incentivizes the tough OhioState -v- Texas type games because you aren't as worried about making the cut with 3 losses. After first week of play-in games, you're already down to the Top 16 teams and by New Years Day, you're down to the Top 8 Teams in the big 4 bowls. I hope this gets formally approved and put into motion asap!!! Hook em!!🧡🐂🤘🏽

Love this update. Thanks for posting. Rori is all class, nonstop hustle, look forward to following her progress in the WNBA. Steals, defensive hustle, doing the little things. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Texas was #1 in most pre-season rankings last season and Mamning was lock for Heisman. 🤪 Much prefer #7 over #1 in all these preseason rankings to start 2026. Let’s show it on field in game 2!! Everything prior to that just noise. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Omg, you’re right. I’m thinking about their SEC title dominance. Georgia has underperformed the past 3 seasons down the stretch. Still cream of the crop from SEC.

I was bored this evening and decided to look back at the past 3 seasons' results to see how Texas stacked up against the rest of the Top 10 performers based on overall record, playoff record and final season ranking. In summary, it's impressive to see where Sark has Texas relative to the other elite programs. Not a surprise but fun to see how teams stacked up. Also, worth noting that there were 11 teams with 30 or more wins over past 3 seasons. OU and A&M both fell below that line with only 26 wins each. Most Wins over Past 3 Seasons: Oregon - 38 (Most under-achieving of all the teams in playoffs, compared to regular season results) Ohio State - 37 (Gold standard for Big10, 2 of 3 past seasons in semi-finals with National Championship in 2025) Georgia - 36 (Gold standard for SEC, 2 of 3 past seasons in semi-finals following 2 National Championships previously) Texas - 35 (Note: Only 3 teams have made semi-finals in 2 of 3 past seasons. Texas, Georgia and Ohio State) Notre Dame - 34 (1 semi-final) Ole Miss - 34 (1 semi-final) Alabama - 32 (1 semi-final) Michigan - 32 (Big drop off with S. Moore after 15 wins and National Championship in last season under Cheater Harbaugh) Indiana - 30 (Especially impressive with 27 wins past 2 seasons and 2026 National Championship in Curt Cignetti's first two seasons after only 3 wins in 2023) Miami - 30 (Big trend upward this past season into the championship game, got hot at right time) Penn St - 30 (Big drop off this past season) So, my Top 10 Best Teams over the past 3 years would be: 1) Ohio State 2) Georgia 3) Indiana* 4) Texas 5) Oregon 6) Notre Dame 7) Ole Miss 8> Alabama 9) Michigan 10) Miami Curious what others think? Hook em!!!

Agree. I prefer less preseason hype. The Ohio State game is shaping up to be a ridiculous head to head with 2 of the best QBs slinging the ball for 2 of the top 4 teams nationally in 2026 (assume ND and Georgia both in that mix as well) We’ll know soon enough how good Arch and this year’s team really is, so all these preseason polls will quickly become meaningless. Love it!! 🤘🏼🐂🧡

Omg, that’s funny. 😂😂😂

Love the rule, hope it’s retroactive. 🤘🏼🐂🧡
