Hugh Freeze Auburn Football
USC and blOU went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in college football that year. The media discourse was focused around how unfair it was for Auburn to have gone undefeated but not get a shot at the national title, just as it was for FSU in 2023. But that's it. No one thought FSU was a deserving national champion and similarly, no one thought Auburn was actually on USC's level in 2004.

Sub-Educated Cretins: The SEC screenshot mega-thread
Tennessee's 1967 title claim is underrated in its stupidity. Lost to UCLA during the regular season (the same UCLA that O.J. Simpson's USC squad famously defeated to rise to the No. 1 ranking and win the national championship) and then lost to blOU in the Sugar Bowl. Finished the season with a 9-2 record and solidly behind one-loss USC, Oklahoma and UCLA.

Instead of gormlessly staring at random selector names, why not do some basic research? The stupidity of the 2004 national title claim is well known by anyone who was alive and had a working pair of eyes that year. USC was the national champion, full stop. Tuberville now gets to tout himself as a "national championship" winning coach on the campaign trail, so that's one more lie on top of the pile. Auburn was on probation in 1994, didn't play in the SEC championship or a bowl game, and finished No. 4 in the AP poll. FSU went wire-to-wire at No. 1 under Bowden except for a blip against No. 2 Notre Dame (who subsequently lost to BC) and defeated top-ranked Nebraska in Miami. Auburn was an afterthought and never made it higher than #3 in the AP poll. Auburn finished second in the SEC in 1958 after tying Georgia Tech and didn't play in a bowl game, while LSU swept through the conference with a perfect 10-0 mark and demolished Clemson in the Sugar Bowl. Auburn again finished second in their conference in 1914 after tying Georgia. Texas and Tennessee had perfect seasons, but neither claimed this year as a national championship because at the time it was generally acknowledged that, with the exception of John Heisman's juggernaut teams at Georgia Tech, the level of football played in the South was still not equivalent to that played in the North and Midwest. This wouldn't change until the mid-1920s, when Alabama shocked Washington in the Rose Bowl, "the game that changed the South". If a football team in the South not named Georgia Tech claims a national title prior to 1925, it's a bullshit and lazy rewriting of history. I can thus safely dismiss the rest of Auburn's claims from before 1914.

Jesus Christ. Four paragraphs of "that's when I became a true Aggie"-style moral victory blather. A LLM trained entirely on TexAgs posts couldn't have done better. For anyone curious, A&M lost to blOU that day, got whipped 43-17 by Texas a week later, suffered an upset loss to Mississippi State in a frigid snow-filled Independence Bowl and finished the year 7-5. Truly an inspiring season.

Title claims based on retroactive rankings are stupid and I will die on this hill. If no poll or system considered you the No. 1 team in the land at the end of the season (before or after bowl games), the matter is settled. Claiming the national title based on a ranking invented many years later is just a lazy attempt at rewriting history to your benefit. I guarantee you that if Sark makes it to the top of the mountain and wins a national title at some point, A&M will retroactively claim the 1917 national title to try and keep pace. It doesn't actually make that long-dead 1917 squad national champions. I would feel similarly if Texas ever attempted to claim the 1914, 1918 or 1920 teams as national champions. The 1941 team is a bit different because the Williamson system named us national champions at the time, but given that we didn't win the SWC that year I doubt we'd entertain claiming that season in this day and age.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Select as many variables as you want, then flatten the data to two dimensions with PCA and use something like k-means to cluster the schools around centroids. I suspect the result will look a lot like the AP overall vs. AP top 5 graph- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
http://cfbcomparer.com/ap-poll-leaders we passed Nebraska a while back in AP poll appearances, and we're nipping at USC's heels with AP top 5 appearances it's the reverse- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

Combining the recent practice notes paints a pretty negative picture of the O-line. * Still struggling with penalties, even with Cam Williams gone * Still can't run inside and has to lean on OZ as a crutch * Still getting stonewalled in red zone situations All the same weaknesses from last year, with much less experience and depth at the tackle positions. This is not where the OL should be heading into year 5.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

I was told I was a pessimist and a doomer for worrying about Cojoe's injury and our O-line depth. Surprise surprise, Burton is worried as well. And LOL at the notion that the Doak Walker Award watch list means anything. Le'Veon Moss and Reuben Owens are on it as well, I guess that means A&M has a stacked RB room? https://ncfaa.org/awards/doak-walker-award- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
