  1. This I agree with. Our run of coaches who refuse to pound inferior teams into dust continues to hurt us. If we're up 3 scores in the third the goal should be to win by 5 scores, not just bleed clock. Sure you don't snap the ball with 25 seconds on the play clock anymore but you also shouldn't be calling run, run, short pass, punt so you can play super soft defense and give up garbage time scores. As you imply, style points and big margins are a part of college football. If you refuse to do it then you are not a great college football coach.
  2. Correct. It is being proven that it is still always better to play a game you win 99% of the time. Losing by one score on the road against the #1 team is still worse than beating an FCS team at home.
  3. This has nothing to do with next season, that's just a different strain of cope. We don't play the committee members next year so a revenge tour doesn't exist. Playing better next season doesn't change the stupidity of our being behind Miami and Notre Dame right now.
  4. I think missing on Sitake works out long term for PSU, unfortunately. 100M for him would have been a massive overpay.
  5. That doesn't matter at all. There will be 2 conference champions who make it in ranked lower than Texas either way.
  6. No because our odds would be way lower in that case. The relationship would only indicate a solid belief that there will be 5 but not 6 SEC teams. If it weren't just a coincidence which I believe it probably is.
  7. ND 10, BYU 11, us at 12 would be fantastic because a BYU loss would force the committee to analyze us and ND directly against each other.
  8. It's a lot of good. It would eventually strengthen the teams in the G5, maintain historical parity if not increase it, and lead to hilarious upsets in time. If I wanted to watch the NFL I would watch it. Of course even they understand the real meaning of a playoff and put every division winner in it even if they have a losing record.
  9. It's fucking it up for Texas fans. He is absolutely correct that removing it isn't good for the sport's health. Not to mention it's not a real playoff if it's possible to go undefeated and not be in it. It should be all 9 conference champions with 7 at-large bids. No I don't think the Sun Belt champ would stay within 35 of Ohio State for at least a few seasons. But I also don't care.
  10. Money does drive the odds but it's not the only thing that drives them. Not saying you're saying that but it's a common misconception. Books will absolutely move lines based on other information. And also the converse, that will also refuse to move lines despite imbalances in money coming in. They do not move odds to exactly split the money to guarantee a profit on every line.
  11. Sure it's possible, but what are the chances they fall out and Texas doesn't move in?
  12. So you think both Texas and Alabama (if they lose to Georgia) are out? Maybe if you use an even bigger font that will be true.
  13. Somehow this entire post is bullshit.
  14. Finding out that you are a regular Barstool consumer clears up so many things.
  15. Easiest solution for the committee is just put Texas ahead of Alabama tomorrow based on their shitass performance against Auburn, our double digit win over #3, and Florida kicking FSU's ass. It will obviously not happen but it would be a lot cooler if they did.
  16. 2006 SHSU but only because Arkansas canceled a game I think. Before that it was North Texas in 1992.
  17. Exactly, Verstappen cost himself 9 points by throwing a tantrum. He would be 3 points behind right now with everything in his hands if he had just not been a baby.
  18. Name them For example I believe they were overrated at #3 but we should still get credit for another Top 10 win. Explain in detail how that's incorrect or hypocritical.
  19. This is my favorite message board stupidity. "I think I am wise because I point out the logical disconnect between different posts but in reality I'm too slow to realize that different people having different opinions is not hypocritical." Also known as "My stupid ass thinks everyone else on this message board is one person."
  20. I agree with the ultimatum forcing there to be a problem, but once they made that move and then he said he was leaving, then allowing him to coach the playoffs is not a reasonable decision.
  21. I didn't say it's deserved pride.
  22. Insanity to think Kiffin would devote even most of his time to the Ole Miss game prep.
  23. Because they have pride in themselves as an institution? Letting him coach the playoffs would be the biggest bitch move I would have ever seen.
  24. The world is very different now so we're all just guessing. Alabama was a great destination when being willing to illegally pay players was a game changing benefit for a head coach.
  25. I think it used to be a penalty that the home team would decline.
