For fun, because I honestly think we drop another game with QE out, red zone struggles, and injuries buuut if we don’t is it even a for sure thing we make it to the playoffs?
I think UGA, FSU,UM/tOSu stay undefeated. If Oregon beats Washington would Oregon get in?
Washington seems like they want to lose so if Oregon beats a 1 loss Washington it could be between us and Oregon. Tough to say.
We really need 1-3 to lose a game and bama to keep winning.Washington beat oregon already. But to your point if georgia, Fstate, michigan/ohio state and washington are undefeated - yes we are left out.

Nahlin on Wingo/Black/NIL/2025
Texas was able to land Ryan Wingo by the skin of its teeth on Wednesday afternoon. He indeed gave a silent to Texas during his Wyoming visit following the Alabama win, but Missouri essentially had him “flipped” in recent weeks.
It’s hard to get these things confirmed 100% but I believe Texas regained the lead earlier in the week, though it doesn’t seem like Missouri caught wind of that until decision day on Wednesday.
Is Wingo solid?
Some have wondered if Wingo’s father prefers him close to home. No, that is not a preference. His dad, Ronnie, has been very supportive of Ryan throughout the process and became equally high on Texas. Certain dads communicate with the IT team where you know the interest is genuine. Ronnie’s relationship with Justin was key to us understanding this recruitment was swinging back toward Texas.
If you want to worry about Wingo flipping to Mizzou, go right ahead, but there are better things to concern yourself with. I mean, if you’re looking for something to worry about, at least worry about Kobe Black since he’s uncommitted.
Wingo and Black similarities
Inside Texas has had three predictions in for the four-star cornerback from Waco to pick Texas. Based on everything I know in that recruitment, it would take a massive event for me to back off that prediction. Once I make a prediction my preference is to not change it, so I’m more saying it’s extremely unlikely I ever even change my board sentiment on that one, much less the actual prediction. There are just too many similarities to the Wingo recruitment while there doesn’t even appear to be a Missouri sort of school posing a credible threat.
Texas makes all the sense in the world for Black. Early playing time is available, Ryan Watts makes for a great selling point, he has friends who are doing well in the program, it’s close to home, NIL opportunities, etc.
So, maybe don’t waste your time worrying about that one either.
The cycle ahead
I knew if I tried hard enough I could find something for you to worry about it.
The 2025 cycle is nearing. As I always say, the previous class, in this case 2024, has little bearing on what the next class will look like. That’s a long-held observation but it’s been crystal clear the last few cycles.
Texas finished extremely strong in 2022 but that didn’t lead to early 2023 momentum. Texas had to wait until Arch Manning committed in June to get that class going. Recruiting was pretty much done in the Summer and it was a very long slog until 2024 picked up.
So what does this mean for 2025? Every cycle has its own headwinds and tailwinds to navigate. The best tailwind Texas can have is if it wins out in the regular season, wins the Big 12, and makes the College Football Playoff. Even then the staff will have to work hard to put together a top 5 class.
What are possible headwinds? If the rest of the season disappoints that’s an obvious one. But another one is NIL. At this point too many people have a false sense of security regarding NIL because of the work of too few people. Texas fans should ignore what they hear from national pundits and rival fan bases. Texas’ current situation is not tenable.
Future predictions
Until we get some data on how the next cycle is going to go, smart predictors will be very judicious with RPM’s for Texas to land elite prospects in the 2025 cycle. There will be plenty of easy predictions to make — some kids just really want to be at Texas — but elite prospects, or even good out-of-state prospects, are going to be a gamble to predict.
To be clear, with just a solid finish to the season Texas is going to have a good class in 2025. After all, there are the permanent tailwinds of rich tradition, great school, thriving city, and now, being in the SEC. But understand there are going to be some big wins and big losses.
Like with the 2024 class, it’ll be wise to sit back and wait for the big picture to emerge rather than fixating on each pixel.
I know you won’t, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What a jackass. He is truly unlikable.

Must of done some stupid shit to be full on kicked off vs just quietly asked to leave at end of season. Oh well, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Don't be a poor.

I honestly didn't know this was illegal. Even in the 80s we used fake signs and dummy calls all the time for this very reason.

If we dont get pressure on the QB its going to be a frustrating day. Their WRs dont suck. I'm not sure there is a pathway for them to win, but they need to be taken seriously.

Alabama beat aggy @ aggy - no change
Alabama barely beats ark at home - moves up.
Clearly the voters value a win at home over ark than they do a win at kyle.

There are plenty of people that wouldn't mind Sark failing just for the selfish reason so that they can be proven right.
They are on the football board right now with "see he will never win big" never mind he won at Alabama 3 weeks ago, beat OU 49-0 last year, and his offense put up 550 yards this weekend. The need for "i told you so." is really a big deal for some people.

Ryan Estrada - RB, El Paso El Dorado (SO): if I’m Sark I’m calling every 2026 top RB prospect and telling them to go fuck themselves. The guy I want plays for the El Dorado Aztecs. Probably my favorite player in the state, has offers from Baylor, Tech, UTEP, UTSA already, unheard of number of FBS offers for an El Paso freshman. Insert the “and he can pass!” gif from Friday Night Lights. The kid is a playmaker.
So Sark should tell his recruiting witch, who gets whatever dude he wants nationwide, to close down '26 recruiting now for a RB who has offers from UTEP and UTSA.

Send him through to the Burnt Ends/Texas One Fund tailgate.
Shaded, a spread, plenty of water, tv as well. Might be better in terms of acclimation to the temps for the day.
If a 80 year old man comes up and says "im from the internet", and its not Armybrat, its my dad.

Aggy managed to beat both in the same season in 2019. But your larger point, i.e., that it's ridiculous for ag posters to pencil in victories this season against both Ole Miss and klan aggy given that it's a rare occurrence, remains legitimate IMO.
Damnit. I even went back and looked to make sure i was right.

They haven't beaten both Mississippi schools in the same year in a decade, and they just pencil those in. It's cute.

umm quick follow up coach. Since you knew that could be a problem with that stadium design and logo issue, what did you guys do to make sure the team didn't slip and slide the whole day? And why didn't it work.
