Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
TheYoungHorn replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Texas Tech lost on the road to Arizona State, who is comparable in finally power ratings to Florida even now. So if Texas Tech loses to BYU are they now disqualified? Of course not. Florida when we lost to them, at the Swamp, in their yearly rally around their beloved but beguiled head coach and win one for the gipper, was ranked 33rd in FEI, with the 18th ranked defense and 15th ranked special teams units. We came in after a two week prep with a bone-headed and brain dead gameplan to keep everything in front of us and not let Lagway beat us with his legs, even after he got gimpy, and because we were missing our best and most reliable corner back we adjusted everything our coverages to be softer and looser (in both man and zones). This was also the most clear picture that Akina had murdered our secondary cohesion as we let simple routes murder us all day. Combined with a handcuffed pass rush, and as a result a passive defensive line not allowed or able to cause havoc, left our second and third level run defenders gashed by a great running back who almost always had a head of steam as we stood around and caught blocks at the line. The biggest issue here is that the Florida loss so soon after the Ohio State loss and two hapless offensive performances at home in OOC games created the national narrative that Texas and Arch was a fraud, and thus they were already out of it barring a miraculous run. Then the dominating performance against OU was chocked up to Red River weirdness, not indicative of our strengths and their weaknesses as good football teams. Then the two road clunkers, let everyone determine that Texas had to win out to be in the playoff. By this time people had already discounted the Ohio State game, and there was never any discussion of the fact that Texas had an 82% post-game win expectancy on the road, against the defending champion and clear best team in the nation this year, in the first road start for a new quarterback. -

Sark’s talking points on all of the radio (SXM) and etc is a moot point, unless there is a mess of underdogs winning this coming conference championship weekend. Committeemen/women have consistently only looked at the # in the Loss column, regardless of SOS. They preach SOS, but in the end only defer to the overall record and Loss column. Hate it for season ticket holders, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see us get out of hosting OSU early next year, as that’s the game that kept us out this year (most likely Florida). Michigan the following year, then H&H with ND. Are we actually going to replace those with North Texas and/or Rice, Abilene Christian? We’ll know by the end of January. Hook’em!!!

The Alamo Bowl has “rights” to the former PAC-12 members (went to BiG10), that don’t make the 12 Team Playoffs. Most likely the Trojans are headed to SA. Even as a homer, the Alamo Bowl has recently had a stretch of being the best attended, as well as the most TV eyes of all bowl games, not counting playoffs or NY6 Bowls. Hook’em!!!

It was just before the Fight Hunger bowl game in his 5th year at Washington when Sark left to take a new job. If Sark coaches in our upcoming bowl game, he will officially have head coached at Texas longer than he has at any other institution.

No matter how good I try to eat (mixed with the inevitable bad), I've been stuck in the 214-220 range for about 2 years now (I'm 6'1, but old so not very athletic or active). It's like a stock in that when I hit that low mark, I hit a resistence that to break through I can't do it. I must have to do something fundamentally different and harder than what I'm doing in just generally trying to be mindful of how and what I eat. And on the high end, as soon as I creep up and then hit that high hat, I get real serious and intentional and bring it back down. But no matter it stays in that box, which makes me think it's all mental.

Here you go Texas, your reason to keep scheduling good OOC Yes, BYU has a chance to play their way in but why should they have to? Why aren’t they already on the 10 line and ND on the cut line? The difference between ND(10-2) and BYU(11-1) that has the Catholics ahead of the Mormons seems to be - ND’s LOSSES!! Keep in mind, neither of these schedules is an SEC schedule so that argument isn’t a factor 10-2 @ MIAMI (L) - #12 A&M (L) - #7 Purdue @ Arkansas Boise NCSU USC - #16 @ BC Navy @Pitt Cuse @ Stanford 11-1 Portland St Stanford @ E Carolina @ Colorado WVU @ Arizona - #18 Utah - #15 @ Iowa St @ TxTech (L) - #4 TCU @Cincy UCF ….ok, I’m a realist, it’s the sticker on the helmet that

I don't give a fuck what they do to go 19-1 over the last 3 years at home. I like winning, that makes the games fun.

No, there will be two of VA/Duke, JMU, Tulane, even UNLV. Texas at #11 still means first one out. -

I don’t decide it. The committee does. Get a member on the phone and ask them. It’s been the same all along. They have to answer questions week after week about ranking a sport that has hundreds of teams that don’t all play the same type of schedules. Every year they contradict themselves when the chair has to answer questions every week. But it’s been this way as long as I can recall: “team A was far and above Team B in our view, so we didn’t need to go to H2H, common opponents, etc, etc.”
