    First time ever I've seen the Mansfield schools not be paired with the Arlington schools or the south I-20 schools.  

    It's probably good for them. The nosedive Lake Ridge and Legacy took the last couple years was extreme.

    North Crowley will probably be a top 5-8 team again, but second place is wide open in that district.

    So nine of the top 32 players in the country are wide receivers and only two are offensive linemen?

    Seems legit.

    I'd guess they're realizing how bad they are at evaluating offensive linemen and how easy it is for elite WRs to produce. You're less likely to be embarrassed by making a WR a 5 star than an offensive linemen.

    How did he develop Spencer Rattler? How did he develop Kyler Murray? How did he develop Jalen Hurts? Truth is he didn't really develop any of those guys. Caleb Williams got worse each year under Riley.

    You think he was better as a freshman than he was when he won the Heisman?

    Kyler Murray looked better at A&M than OU? As did Hurts and Baker?

    I'm sorry but that's a crazy take.

    It has an argument for best made but it was far from the best show. Not a single character on it that I wanted to live to the end.

    This is a very odd rubric to measure art and TV.

    I'm imaging a 19th century critic saying they just don't want to root for the killer in Crime and Punishment. Or Breaking Bad isn't great because Walter actually goes bad.

  5. It sucks that Florida State plays last because the cleanest scenario and the super unlikely scenario are total opposites and totally depend on FSU. I wish FSU played first so I knew what to root for.

    Clean Easy Scenario: FSU loses, Georgia wins, Washington Wins, Michigan wins. They take the undefeated conference champs and Texas. Hardly any 1 loss teams are left, and the few that are don't merit discussion.

    Super Unlikely Scenario: FSU wins so we need as many 1 loss champs as possible to muddy the waters. Bama, Texas, Oregon, Michigan (lol), with Ohio State and Washington suddenly being considered as well.

    But it mainly just comes down to FSU losing or a miracle.

    All of the Big Noon Kickoff People pick tOSU and Michigan to both make the CFP except for Urban Meyer, who picks both Oregon and Washington instead...

    These picks are so bad, I don't ever want to hear anyone on here talk about how great this show is again.

    Not one person on a show dedicated solely to college football could come up with a theoretically feasible playoff scenario?

    In Meyer's scenario, Oregon loses to Washington and gets the 4 spot with 2 losses? Everyone else imagines that the loser of Ohio State Michigan would be in ahead of an undefeated Washington or Florida State?

    It's literally not possible for any of these playoff scenarios to happen.

  7. I think there are only 4 scenarios where we get in

    1. Both Washington and Oregon lose this week to their in state rivals.

    2. One of Washington or Oregon lose this week and then follows that up by winning the Pac 12.

    3. The winner of Ohio State/Michigan loses to Iowa.

    4. Florida State loses to either Florida or Louisville.

    (4) is the only one that I think is going to happen, so I'm rooting hard for it.  The SEC champ is getting in no matter what; there's no sense spending time arguing about it. It makes you look naive to spend time suggesting they would leave them out.

    I'm maybe slightly worried that (4) happens, Georgia loses, and the committee takes Georgia instead of Texas. But it's not a real worry. The only way I can see that happening is if our wins over Tech and the Big 12 runner up look like the TCU type win where no one thinks we look impressive.  And honestly, if play like that, a lot of us deep down won't think we're better than Georgia either.
