    “Why don’t you ever take me home?” ”To Big Spring? What, to tour the fuckin’ prison?” I chortled.
  2. OSU, Indiana, Georgia, Oregon, Aggie, Tech, Ole Miss, OU, Bama, Notre Dame. That’s 10 teams we won’t be ahead of this week, all of which are locks (unless Georgia crushes Bama by more than 35-10) or have a specific replacement (BYU for Tech). That’s presumes we jump Miami (who should jump Notre Dame, but won’t), Utah, Vandy (who just crushed Tennessee), and BYU. So, again, 11 is best case this week and next without some epiphany/shenanigans and if we are 11, the ACC and Group of 5 knock us out. I enjoy running scenarios and trying to make the argument for us on a Sunday morning before the NFL starts. But I also have accepted our Citrus Bowl fate.
  3. The power 4 can help this by requiring 1 game against other power 4 conferences to be playoff eligible starting in 2027 or something like that. It doesn’t solve it, but imagine scheduling Indiana 5 years ago when they were shit and catching them now (or getting lucky and catching Clemson this year). I get the Go5 and FCS teams that are getting games cancelled will raise hell but we are <10 years from seeing the Big 4 fully break off anyway so all OOC are against the Big 4. There is a lot of grumbling about a shakeup in rankings this week that will help us. It’s fools gold because I do not see how we are better than 11th still in a best case scenario, which means we aren’t in.
  4. All this is to say, Go Duke! I hope they beat Virginia then catch Aggie in the first round in the 11-6 so I can go to Kyle Field and watch Mensah work those d-bags.
  5. We are being punished for 3 losses, not who they were to. If we beat Florida and lose to OU we are still on outside looking in. If we beat Ohio State and lose to OU we are on outside looking in. If we beat Georgia and lose to Mississippi State we are on outside looking in. As someone upthread suggested, this is locked. And a two loss BigXII CCG loser isn’t supplanting any of the other 12 unless it’s close and Georgia destroys Alabama. 3 B1G, 5 SEC, ACC, Big XII, Go5, ND = 12.
  6. So if Va Tech or Cal can get the upset Duke is in the ACCCG with 5 losses. Let chaos reign.
  7. Aggie is going to be #6 (I presume they drop behind Oregon, Georgia and Ole Miss). Which means if we slip in and are ahead of the Group of Five team…... at #11.
  8. Van Buren is . . . Not good. In any event my guess is the committee is putting both Big XII teams in if last year in the ACC is any indication. I also think Vandy will be ahead of us for same reason OU is which is dumb because we lose out for our Ohio St game. But number of losses have always been the core stat in college football for better or worse. I am sanguine about it at this point. If the committee comes to its senses we are ahead of OU and Vandy. It won’t.
  9. Went with my aggy buddy (good dude despite it all) and rode home with him and his nephew (an aggy senior who sat in southeast corner). They conceded they got beat and went on to complain about how our game environment sucked and the sound system is shit and Kyle Field is so much better and I need to see it to believe it. I just asked - “Did it look like our crowd had fun? Then who gives a shit if it’s Blaupunkt or Sony? You guys keep worrying about game day atmosphere and we will keep beating you. And also, your QB is a poor man’s Reggie McNeal.” His nephew went “Who?” I said “Exactly.”
  10. Not sure if folks outside of the stadium were aware but they trolled the Aggies with this a few times including a big graphic that said “Mo Bamba Went Here” and then playing it after Wisner’s last run (plus the Elko “this is the flagship school in the state” troll).
  11. “Mo Bamba Went Here”
  12. Maybe should have said top 8 but meant DFS and Eason.
  13. We are beating the best team in the east on their floor with two of our best 7 out. Yeah they don’t have Garland but whatevs. Amen having a tough night and we still roll. This team fucks. Show me a loss.
