Jerimiyah Love and JaDarian Price will be harder to replace than you’re suggesting. Carr isn’t that great. Notre Dame might sail through the regular season due to their easy schedule, but they will be an early exit from the playoffs due to not being battle tested. That’s my prediction.

Nope. We are. 🤘

This is the second year in a row that TAMU failed to score an offensive TD in their last home game of the season, in games that would have kept their postseason dreams alive. Beautiful Now we just need Tech to lose and OU, TAMU and Tech will all be tied for lowest CFP win percentage in history. 🤘

They will be just one of 3 Texas rivals to have an go one and done in the CFP in embarrassing fashion

I’m in between Loewy and the board consensus on this one. My primary concern: I’m not sure Muschamp’s coaching style meshes as well these days with the portal/NIL era relative to 08/09. I look at tough coaching styles the same way as gruff news conference styles for coaches (a la Saban). When you’re winning/succeeding, it is tolerated and even looked at endearingly. When you’re losing or not succeeding, it may start to wear thin. What eases my concern: 1. We are very talented. Lack of talent shouldn’t hamper Muschamp’s success. 2. This season’s cumulative defensive results were lackluster relative to what we had/expectations. I don’t think it would take a wunderkind to improve our defensive results from this year to next. Muschamp may fall short of 08/09, but should have ample room to improve from 25 to 26. Just seeing Simmons rushing the passer more and dropping into coverage far, far less will be an upgrade.

Kindle would have been arrested for hit like that today

Representation in 16 team format: Big10: 4 SEC: 7 Representation in 24 team format: Big10: 6 SEC: 7 Gee, I wonder why the Big10 wants 24 🤔

Did some Big10 shills infiltrate the board with this 24 team nonsense? Am I arguing with Joel Klatt burner accounts? 😂

It’s really getting to the point where people want participation trophies and A’s for effort. 16 with one spot for G6 determined by a play in. End it there. No team in the 20s in the AP poll deserves to be in the CFP! Wtf are we talking about guys? 🤦‍♂️ ”Let it be decided on the field”- except for September. Don’t worry about what happens on the field in September

Thinking of an 8-4 team in the playoffs disgusts me. It really does. I do not give one rat’s behind about the fans of 8-4 teams being engaged at the end of the season, even if those are Texas fans. Teams that have separated themselves as more than mediocre are the ones that deserve a shot at the end of the season. 8-4 is mediocre. It just is

College basketball is also useful for looking at what including everyone in the postseason does for the regular season. Probably 75% of people who watch March Madness do not keep up with the regular season, because it is pointless. It’s mind numbing to think of basically the entire top 25 getting in. This strategy is “just let everyone except for the really crappy teams in”.

False. We are already seeing bad football across the board due to teams knowing they have losses to give.

I have an aversion to depreciating the value of regular season games to the point of no return, which is what your idea would do 😂

No

No no no no no 😂 I can’t emphasize how much no 😂

I say one autobid per p4. It can either be their conference champ, or their highest rated team. Their choice. The team must have 3 losses or less.

No, no, no and no. A team that loses 1/3 of their games does not deserve an end of season shot, period.

I say go to 16 and have an explicit clause making 8-4 teams or worse ineligible. I truly think a 9-3 team should be eligible for the playoffs. Allows for a high profile loss in non-con, high profile conference loss and one slip up. Anything beyond that should never be considered.

That might have been a much, much closer game if there was a competent QB throwing to Scudero. I remember like at least 2 or 3 sure fire TDs that he was wide open and the QB just missed him badly

Dude literally won the award based on the viral clip of him beating his chest against a bum LSU squad

It’s an absolute joke that Howell got it over Simmons. Howell juiced stats vs the worst teams TAMU played and went awol when it mattered. Howell is all hype

Nearly full control is the rule among contender HC positions in college. It’s the exception in the pros, and the places where more full control is the case in the pros, those jobs come open much less frequently than the crap shows with micromanaging ownership

Yeah. We’re obviously not talking about Cal, Stanford or OU. We’re talking Texas and Notre Dame, and Freeman and Sark have ultimate control at both places. Coaches at all true contenders do

college football coaches are the ultimate GMs of their programs. They have much more final say so over everything. Rare for NFL HCs to have final say so.
