I know that as a Tech fan on a Texas board, I’m a guest and should act accordingly.
But we are all CFB fan tho, right?
I saw a comment in the MICH/OU thread about Michigan being overrated and were the face for all that it wrong with pre-season polls. I disagree about Michigan being the best example for why but I could not agree more about the fallacy of the early polls. And that’s why I’m commenting here and not there because I don’t want it to be only about that game.
I believe the Longhorns will very much be in the mix at the end of the season and I’m not singling them out - in fact, ND is right there with them - top10 teams with losses to top10 teams but ranked ahead of 2-0 teams with WINS over ranked teams
Thus my thread title:
When did wins over Alabama and Michigan stop mattering ????
What has Penn St, Oregon, Georgia, Texas, ND, or Illinois done that is anywhere close to beating Alabama, Michigan, or Florida(and Boise) Heck, even Mississippi St’s win over ASU is more impressive. Iowa St has a non-con P4 win and a 3-0 record. Cupcake this, schedule that - who have those 6 “Top10” teams beat???
It’s always stated that it all works out by the end of the season. But does it? Why does “settle it on the field” only matter during the playoffs?
Yes, I pull for Texas Tech.
No, I’m not here to beat their drumb as they haven’t done jack squat either!
