  1. Congress should pass a law against sandwiching a kickoff between two commercial breaks.
  2. Pretty basic route combo there. Our worse opening defensive drive of the season.
  3. I think 12 is perfect but the guarantee for the top 4 conference champs should be a top 8 seed, not a top 4 seed.
  4. That should have been offsetting. The stepping over and standing over opponents shit needs to be called. It's terrible officiating to let it go. It is clearly unsportsmanlike conduct.
  5. This post makes the same mistake most people do when analyzing schedule difficulty. There is a difference between good, decent, mediocre, and garbage. You're correct about the about the Big Ten's stratification, but their issue is they go straight from great teams to one good team, two decent teams, and then a bunch of garbage. The Big 12 is much deeper in good and decent teams. And that makes a big difference in affecting a team's full season record.
  6. This is absolutely true for the P4. But ESPN has never given and will never give the Big 12 a fair evaluation. The ACC was easily worse than the other 3. It was the SEC, then the Big 12 and Big Ten were pretty much even, then the ACC. Meanwhile the narrative is that the Big Ten is in the top 2 with the SEC and the ACC is a bit better than the Big 12. Both of those are laughably wrong. Revenue doesn't win football games, ask Texas fans over the last decade plus.
  7. SMU is definitely getting whipped in the trenches but it would be 14-10 with competent QB play for SMU. That failed 4th down was an easy touchdown if the throw wasn't 10 yards too far behind the TE (10 yards versus where a properly led throw would have landed). Sure he could have easily run for the first down but it was an easy TD. That's 7. Take away the pick sixes and Penn State is down to 14. Then the stupid throw in the red zone when the slant was blanketed cost them a field goal.
  8. The SEC isn't down this year. It's actually deeper than usual. There was just more attention on the full depth of leagues and conference schedules because of the stupid huge divisionless conferences.
  9. They actually got the participants exactly right. Arizona State should be higher than Boise State and Clemson is correctly the 12th seed. Really the main issues are caused by the conference tiebreaker mistakes. With a second loss they would have had Penn State behind Ohio State. Other differences are SMU higher, again can't say anything about Indiana being lower because they have an extra loss here. All in all their rankings algorithm is a shitload better than their gameplay.
  10. Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be.
  11. So I had too much time on my hands today and started a new dynasty where I forced the actual W/L results from the entire season. I will paste the final CFP rankings after the CCGs are simulated, here are the tiebreaker issues for CCG weekend: Big 12 - Arizona State is playing BYU instead of Iowa State in the CCG. MWC - Boise State is playing Colorado State instead of UNLV in the CCG. B10 - Oregon is playing Indiana instead of Penn State in the CCG Fortunately the winners are all correctly in the games so I will of course force them to win. Let's see how EA does on the final CFP rankings, so far they've been somewhat close with some strange errors here an there. For example right now Texas is #1 and Oregon is #2.
  12. So 513 in regulation? There are only 50 yards available in multiple overtimes with the current rules.
  13. They need to start calling unsportsmanlike conduct when tacklers stand over the opponent.
  14. They absolutely can run against Georgia. Texas fans have a seriously inflated view of Georgia's defense because of our two games.
  15. The percentage of times that defenders fall for the athletic QB reverse spinout is crazy.
  16. They can win a low scoring game against a Georgia team with an inexperienced QB. Not saying they will but they can. At least if the normal Georgia team shows up and not the defense that plays against Texas.
  17. To be a goal line DT sub you have to run at least 30 yards from the sidelineto team area to get in position.
  18. That's 95% on kev, but he would have never believed it for a second if it was most other coaches. So let's agree to always blame Lincoln Riley at least a little.
  19. Whoa that's a call I had not heard of. In college you're down when a non-hand or foot hits the ground. Had not seen that interpretation before.
  20. Yep, this exactly.
  21. Hahaha. Now they have a couple of plays. That should be reviewed. Clock was at 12 seconds when the play was over. Possession changed so it's a stopped clock.
  22. Wow what a terrible decision to slide.
  23. Yep, should have used a timeout there as soon as the play clock was behind the game clock.
  24. So do our opponents. Tremendous insight as usual.
  25. None of them. There was one possible outside zone that got blown up but I called it an inside zone for counting because it was hard to tell what it was supposed to be because the OL got beat so bad. Really our outside runs were pin and pull sweeps, a toss sweep. I also didn't count the snap through Manning's legs run for either category because it was clearly a one off kind of trick play. Also didn't count the outside zone that lost two yards because Wisner messed up the playcall. I counted three inside zones that were pretty clearly inside designs but others may disagree.
