The only people the look and aesthetics of this facility are designed to cater to are ages 16-22. So, it doesn't really matter what the majority of this board thinks.

Strength of schedule meant zero to this committee.

The correct placement would have been for Texas to move up as many spots as A&M moves back. Which would have put Texas at 12.

A win over #3 and undefeated A&M moves you up two whole spots???

This is what happens when you take some ugly losses in a season where the media hypes you up and when the expectations are what they are. Multiple reasons for it whether it be media folks with egg on their faces, agents, and everything in between.

Oklahoma State has 11 seasons of 10 wins in 124 years of playing football. Mike Gundy coached 8 of those 11 seasons. Historically they are a bottom dweller programs except for the Gundy years. I would say regardless of anything else he deserved better than to be fired in the middle of the week a quarter through the season. They may never get back to another 10 win season ever again.

Yep, that’s the contingency. Change the offense to 20 QB runs a game and 15 passes.

The OL was always going to regress pretty significantly when you lose your starting center, left guard, right tackle, and left tackle all to the NFL. Not to mention your LT was a top 10 pick and the Center being the most difficult to replace. Outside of having all new starters the biggest issue I see even with improvement is the lack of athleticism at left guard. That is a Charlie Strong level offensive guard.

The talent that DeBoer has called into was absolutely elite and a top 3 roster in the sport. The situations that he walked into and others like Sark walked into are very different. You can’t go 5-5 in your last 10 and losses to more unranked teams in the last 12 months than the program had in the last 15 years with that roster. If he goes 8-4 this year Bama will fire him.

You say after beating LSU like that’s something that will happen. Florida goes to Death Valley the week before and takes on the same LSU squad that just handled Clemson in the road. It’s very probable that Florida is coming off a loss at Death Valley when we play them.

The reality is, you don’t play the national champions on the road to a one score game and hold them to 200 yards total offense with a chance to tie the game in your last possession and drop below #5 or 6. And the biggest reason that Clemson must be below Texas and Notre Dame is that they were the one team out of this group that played at home with a senior QB, upperclassmen all over the place, and the crowd in a frenzy to lay that egg.

Problem is that the money and Tech’s overall talent on the OL is going to force the kid on the field far before he is ready which sacrifices his NFL future.

The fact that they also were able to keep Shepherd and offload the Jalen Green contract is a pretty massive piece to this as well.

If Texas gets a mid week with Cooper do we realistically think he would pick Texas over the visits he is doing the full weekend visit for?
