No problem. We can disagree. He's not good enough in the red zone. Not the playmaker to pick up the team that he needs to be. Hope het delivers in the playoff!

I concur

The Dawgs will be top 10 good by mid-season, but may be quite a bit younger early in the season on defense.

Will be interesting to see what Georgia does in the portal ... and they will bring in talented players ... With that said, Georgia is going to lose a lot after this season: LB Smael Mondon LB Jalon Walker - 1st round DE Mykel Williams - 1st round DL Warren Brinson DL Nazir Stackhouse S Dan Jackson LB Chaz Chambliss QB Carson Beck OG Tate Ratledge RT Xavier Truss WR Dominic Lovett WR Arian Smith Possible: DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins RB Trevor Etienne OT Earnest Greene III OL Dylan Fairchild C Jared Wilson

Aggies going to have to immediately rebuild their DL Shemar Stewart going pro. Nic Scourton is gone. Shemar Turner is gone. Rotational DL Rodas Johnson gone. Returning: Albert Regis DJ Hicks

I agree with you

Clemson has zero portal. Tied with the military academies for least.

Clemson's OL should struggle against Texas, agreed. Their DL on the interior can truly compete IMO.

A few notes on Clemson Clemson is a 10-3 ACC Championship team coming to Austin December 21. A deeper dive against the top 5 teams they have played tells a different story, however. Clemson P4 opponents winning % ... Georgia 11-2 NC State 6-6 Stanford 3-9 FSU 2-10 Virginia 5-7 Wake Forest 4-8 Pittsburgh 7-5 Virginia Tech 6-6 Louisville 8-4 South Carolina 9-3 SMU 11-2 Total = 72-60 Clemson's record vs. the teams with an 8-4 record or better on the schedule... 1-3. Losses to Georgia (34-3), Louisville (33-21), South Carolina (17-14) and beat SMU 34-31. Averaged 18.0 points per game in those four games. Clemson has struggled running the ball vs. top 5 opponents played... Clemson has played 5 teams with a 7-5 or better record, and the Tigers have struggled to run the ball. Georgia - Phil Mafah 16 carries for 59 yards Pittsburgh - Mafah 17 carries for 17 yards Louisville - Mafah 30 for 171 yards and 2 TD's South Carolina - Mafah 20 for 66 yards SMU - Mafah 13 for 28 yards Total = 99 for 342 (3.45 per carry) Mafah will also enter the game vs. Texas with a shoulder that is less than 100%. He's banged up per a source in the Palmetto State. Clemson defense vs. the top 5 opponents on the schedule... Georgia - 447 yards Pittsburgh - 438 yards Louisville - 366 yards South Carolina - 431 yards SMU - 458 yards Average = 428 yards per game

Yep. And in-season ACL injury … won’t be around for spring and maybe early in season

I get it ... but here is the thing. A QB has to make plays for his team when all else fails ... it's the great differientiator. When a play must be made for their team, it's what defines QB's. Quinn is a third year starter with 31 starts at this point, he's got to step up and make a game winning red zone play for Texas to get this thing done. Washington - nope Georgia - nope Let's see what happens.

I personally wouldn't have Quinn on my board if I was an NFL GM. He just hasn't progressed/developed now with 31 career starts. And I was very high on his ability/upside coming out of HS and headed into year three in what he could make the jump to be ... but it just hasn't happened. And it's critical situation turnovers, red zone issues in winning time and being a playmaker for a team when it's absolutely needed. But he will be drafted, and QB's tend to get drafted higher than they should and I get it. He will perform extremely well in the "on air" pro day workouts. How does the NFL weigh the on field vs. pro day workouts? If Carson Beck or Quinn are 1st round picks ... NFL GM's are nuts/riverboat gambling with many millions of their owners money IMO.

100% agree

That's kind of my question ... if it's perfect OL play and and comfortable then sure ... but in the scenario where Quinn HAS to make a play when things aren't perfect and comfortable ... will he? Because IMO, that point and time are going to happen again. I hope he does.

You are probably correct. It shouldn't be that way in terms of the rankings. They are just wrong. Ohio State lost at home to Michigan, scored 0 in the second half. Total BS. And I do believe it matters big time for who hosts (home crowd, potential weather, etc.) But it is what it is.

Very much so if that scenario plays out

Quinn Ewers in the red zone vs. Georgia Saturday 2 of 10 for 5 yards. Also had an INT flat out dropped. Texas is going to need Quinn to make a big play for the team in red zone in the CFP if they are to make a NC run. I mean a late game, have to have it to stay alive type situation. My question to the board ... Can he or will he do it? I hope he does.

Will be interesting. Tennessee both losses on the road. Ohio State losing to 7-5 Michigan at home and looking like a steaming pile doing it should knock them below the Vols in seeding.

Agree, but replace Ohio State with Penn State ... since both just played in conference title game If the committee does the right thing an goes 8 Tennessee hosting 9 Ohio State, the Vols will knock out the Buckeyes

Would be criminal if Alabama gets in over South Carolina. I know Bama won the game in Tuscaloosa first half of the season. But Alabama lost road games at Vanderbilt and Oklahoma (god dog walked against OU). South Carolina smoked both of those teams on the road, and is playing better football now.

Glad I was part of that three-man On3 National rankings team ... Cam Williams would have been a 90 (4-star) unranked otherwise. Helped get him closer to where he should have been

Yep. A 6-7, 350 pound OL flat footed in a three-point stance shows high-end ankle flexion, hip flexibility and knee bend.

Yes!

The good stuff!

Didn't have enough time ... wanted to watch Longhorn Livestream Monday night
