  1. Past hour
  2. I'd guess Zion Elee as the looming potential whale they can land for this class
  3. I think bumping the SEC runner up out of the playoffs because they played an extra game against a top 3 team would set its own horrible precedent. The reality is, however this goes, it's giving Sankey tons of leverage in negotiating playoff expansion. It's not a coincidence that the SEC went to a 9 game schedule the day after the playoffs announced SOR would be a a big factor. And now the committee is just ignoring this. Particularly with respect to Notre Dame. I actually think Notre Dame is one of a handful of teams that could win it all so I get it, but placing them as high is they are is just willfully ignoring their shitty schedule. In the committee's defense, it's an extremely unique year where there just weren't any upsets the last few weeks so there are more playoff worthy teams. I think last year a 9-3 Texas team would have gotten in rather easily over SMU.
  4. Probably was you. We were on Row 4 or something. IIRC the fellow Surlyite was a row or two behind me. I think I might've showed up in one of your pics!
  5. But they’re not going to do that. Give me Ohio state in December or January when it actually matters vs in Sept
  6. As a new Ark fan this year with a kid now going there, I am amazed at how many of their fans just expect the glory days to come roaring back. So many of them were begging the school to keep Petrino, whose overall record is spotty at best (and didn't win ONE SINGLE GAME after taking over as interim HC). I think Silverfield is a decent hire - as mentioned above, he seems to have a strong football mind and understand the new NIL/portal environment. But the SEC is consistently a meat grinder, so if he can't recruit quickly (and get the Waltons/Tysons/Hunts of NWA to pony up even more for NIL), don't expect much to change. Ark is in good shape in most other sports, and the AD Yurachek has been really vocal about needing to fix funding for football now, so we'll see.
  7. Did you mean the loss to FSU? I know this is the wacky playoff argument season and Oklahoma is a very flawed team. But, if losing to a 10-2 SEC team by 2 points at home is a pretty bad loss we might've jumped the shark. It's not like Oklahoma's two losses were to bad teams.
  8. FWIW, Bobby said this AM that he and Gerry feel like there's a chance for "unexpected fireworks" on NSD.
  9. I'll never not do the tube again. We did a car service once when we thought we had too many bags to drag around and a 40 minute drive took 2 hours. After he went in a giant circle twice, I had to give him directions. Good thing it was a flat fee.
  10. We understand your position on this, as you've hammered every fucking page of several threads repeating it. Many of the rest of us would prefer to see good OOC games because we actually enjoy the sport. @immamac's point, which you either can't grasp or simply ignored, is that the committee can change the notion on "margin for error" by bringing Texas into the fold.
  11. Damn LSU was thirsty
  12. This likely means PSU is now about to go official with theirs. Chesney was 2nd in odds to get the PSU job the last 24 hours or so
  13. This is season 4 true detective terrible.
  14. Precedent will likely be set this year in one way or another as Bama can be the first 3 loss at large. Our best hope here is when debating setting the precedent of a 3 loss at large they compare the fullness of the Bama/Texas Resumes. I would still have money on their resume over ours but the FSU loss evens it out some.
  15. I think Bama needs to get their door blown off for Texas to have a chance. That said the only other way is if you here the committee chair says SOS and OOC scheduling about 20 times on the ESPN show, which I think has about a 1% chance of happening
  16. The tOSU game might be the problem or it might not. My question is if Indiana beat tOSU as unlikely as that might happen, how much credit does tOSU get for their win over us to justify a higher seed vs the other one loss teams in line? If the committee gives it more weight, then this should work in our favor. But yes beating Florida even by one lousy point even in OT would've made this mute, I think? I mean say what you will about our loss to UGA, but UGA itself didn't look like a top tier team against Florida and needed help from the Kirby loving SEC Refs along the way.
  17. A&M is too rigid in their defensive philosophy, you could tell in the pre-game interviews Sark knew he could break their “rules”. Also Elkos 4-2-5 is just not sound against outside zone concepts, it doesn’t matter where he lines up his backers. PK is now 9-0 vs Klein. A&M will have a hard time winning this game if things remain status quo.
  18. bro do you even turd-ishion?
  19. I think they overused him and wore him down last year.....they got a title out of it though so I guess it worked.
