They are more than a QB away. Smith is their entire offense. They can't run the ball and their defense is getting torched

I have to update my previous statement, as of today Texas has the worst opponents winning percentage of the teams that could end up 7-2. We would be the first team out. Tennessee would advance has they would be 2-0 vs Alabama and Kentucky, Alabama would be 1-1, and Kentucky would be 0-2.

Kentucky isn't done losing in the SEC. They have 3 SEC wins by less than a single score including back to back 1 point wins. That type of luck just isn't sustainable.

Depends on if Tennessee is also 7-2. Since there was no round robin with the three teams, and each team would be 3-0 vs. common opponents it would go to opponent's winning percentage. That would likely end up with a ranking of Alabama, Texas, Tennesse. Tennesse would be eliminated. Then the comparison would be between Texas and Alabama, and Texas would win that one due to the 4-0 vs 3-1 in common opponents. If Tennesse drops another game, then we would advance over Alabama. If Alabama loses another game, then Texas would advance over Tennessee due to the HTH. Texas really controls its destiny with regards to the final SEC CG.

With the portal you should always take the veteran experience over the unknown potential of freshmen.

The appetite would be ravenous. Muschamp might go Buddy Ryan on Sarkisian if we had a legitimate shot at getting those two and didn't make it happen.

Yeah, that team returned everyone and added Rice, who was a ready made day one experienced contributor off a team that picked up a victory in the NCAAT. If this team has a two year shelf-life, we would be a wire to wire Top 5 team next year. To be honest I would take that right now over getting Beckham Black.

There are still a slew of games that could fall in Texas favor. If Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee finish all tied at 7-2, Texas has a very legit shot of advancing to the CG, due to Tennesse being the first team eliminated out of the three then Texas winning out over Alabama because they would be 4-0 against Tennessee, LSU, aggy, and Mississippi State, while Alabama would be 3-1. In fact, if Texas and Alabama finsish 10-2 (7-2) and Tennessee ends up 9-3 (6-3) Texas would advance over Alabama. It would almost be impossible at this point for Tennessee to finish above Texas in the 3-way tiebreaker using conference winning percentage. I would say at this point, if Texas wins out, they would most likely be the team to face Georgia in the final SEC CG.

BYU is out. 10-2 with only 1 win over the playoff field isn't going to be that impressive. Don't see LSU getting in after this lopsided loss even if they beat us next week.

LSU and Tennessee.

This win allows us a 2-1 end to the season and still in the playoffs. Tennessee and Missouri could do us a big favor by taking out Kentucky in tonight and in two weeks.

The QB turned it over 2 times including a pick six and our punt team gave up a blocked punt for a TD. He also took a horrible sack the play before the blocked punt giving the punter little room to catch a full deep snap.

Sterling's shooting ability is going to get him minutes all season, but when get Lewis back the guard depth is going to be insane.

There will be a new OC when there is a new HC. I have always said, that if the powers that be need to tell Sarkisian to hire a new OC, then you should just go ahead and fire him and start over.Though I do hope that the new guy would like the defensive staff and keep them mostly in place, if not the entire crew. They are really good at what they are doing, except Nansen. We could upgrade there.

If he can't work out, he's going to return. The decision to turn pro even as a late-1st early 2nd, when a healthy season would mean a big jump up the board. He only has 22 starts, that's not a lot of tape and he could make enough from NIL to make his return worth his while.

Biles can have a very similar impact with the rest of the teams on our schedule as all have QBs very similar to Chambliss in style of play not necessarily results.

They will also lose in the tournament before their seeding dictates. Scheyer will never be Coach K. There are two teams that I will only believe it when I see it, though Arizona finally broke through to the FF last season, but their coach is a horrible tournament coach as is Scheyer.

It is a very complicated offense that needs consistent elite execution for it to work. This is just stupid in today's college game, he needs to stop trying to get a NFL job and win college football games. He could dial up plays to make it easier to get Arch into some sort of rhythm, and if Arch still can't make it happen, then it's not going to happen for Arch. Consider how easy the Florida OC made the reads for Jones this past Saturday. Jones needed to make 2 throws all game.

The body language of the WRs looks to be at all time low. They have no trust in Arch right now. I have to readjust my thoughts from Sunday, it's 100% Arch. He just can't read a defense and process at a level needed for Sarkisian's offense to take off. There was plenty of candy left on the field, and Browne makes it extremely obvious. I just don't see how you come back to him against Ole Miss. A bad QB will get a coach and GM fired, and the reality of the siuation is Arch is there right now.

Sarkisian's success with Flood at Alabama had little to do with them, and more to do with the talent that Saban had acquired. You aren't ever going to duplicate that talent level again in the portal and NIL era. This is the lesson Sarkisian seems incapable of learning. His arrogance thinks it was his scheme, when it was obviously the once in a lifetime talent he had to run it. Frankly, this is where you need Del Conte to put on his big boy pants, or if not him, because Sarkisian is likely on the same level as Del Conte in the Texas AD, then you need Eltife involved, if not him then the next head of the BOR that gets installed after Eltife's term is up in February. 10 wins is not what the stated goal inside the AD, it's competing for championships. You can't do that with a scheme that the college game has left behind, with an OL coach that can't probably pick the G-C-G, a STs team coach that has serious off the field problems and coaches historically bad STs play, a LB coach that gets a DUI during a game week, or a QB coach that has taken two 5-stars near perfect recruits and turned both of them into JAGs that have bad football IQ, fundamentals, and inability to process defenses at an elite level. Throwing the football was never a problem for either, but consistent ball placement 1000% is a problem.

See, I don't trust college kickers at any distance, especially not a 50+ yarder.

It’s not 20/20. You go get two yards and run out the clock. If you don’t get the two yards you lose nothing in field position.

The backups are much worse. They are not an incredibly deep team.

OU might be the 1st team in the history of football where BYE was a tougher week than Georgia.

Apparently there was a fire at the State Fair yesterday. In the ring toss, Mateer missed the bottles and hit a propane tank 20 feet away.
