  1. Yup. I mentioned this in the other thread, but Bama's loss at FSU is objectively worse than ours at Florida. If they lose the SEC title game it's going to really test the whole "won't punish conference title game losers" stuff.
  2. If there was any proof this is only about the number of losses look no further than Bama's loss at FSU. That is objectively worse than our loss at Florida but since they played a weak Wisconsin team instead of Ohio State they are getting the benefit of the doubt. That's why everyone is talking about that game against Ohio State and the loss to Florida is irrelevant to the conversation. If we'd played Purdue instead of Ohio State then we're comfortably in the field and likely host a playoff game. And before anyone goes "hurr durr they beat Georgia" remember they also lost AT HOME to Oklahoma who we clobbered at a neutral site. The bottom line is this is run by a bunch of empty suits who make up the rules as they go along in order to have as little controversy as possible. They don't want to have to answer questions about why a 3 loss SEC team is in over a 2 loss (or even 1 loss) team from another conference. It would require actually defending the resume's and they cannot be bothered with that.
  3. What happened was everyone saw that abortion of an ACC championship game and realized the two one loss teams were better.
  4. Same. I view this as a “no lose” situation. I want what’s best for Texas, but I’ll never root for Ohio State against Michigan.
  5. Agreed. They had a loss to aggy “baked into” the rankings and then we beat their ass. Now they have a problem.
  6. They literally spend the whole season preparing for the game.
  7. Up to 10th in the league now. Only 5 points behind Stoke/Middlesbrough for the 2nd automatic promotion spot.
  8. Vikings signed Desmond Ridder today.
  9. Alabama has almost the exact same resume as Texas (the loss at FSU has really aged poorly) except they played a shitty Wisconsin team at home and we played the defending champs on the road.
  10. Interesting conversation from The Bulwark podcast I just listened to. This is regarding Trump's failing health and at what point the cabinet should consider the 25th Amendment. Their conclusion was that they were more likely to "Weekend at Bernie's" the situation rather than replace him, but the REASON was surprising. About half of the cabinet cannot stand JD Vance and actually want to position themselves to be the heir apparent to lead the GOP and run for the White House. So they have no interest in elevating the competition to the post in any scenario. They mentioned people like Rubio and I think Noem (might have been someone else) who are in this group. I think that fear of MAGA is still part of the calculus, but I think a lot of us felt that Trump picked these people because they wouldn't 25th him out of loyalty when in reality they just want to cock block Vance. What a dysfunctional mess.
  11. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/special-election-tennesee-7th-democrats-aftyn-behn Good article on the state of that race and what lessons should be taken from it. Van Epps still likely to win but Democrats are hoping for a single digit loss.
  12. Additionally this is an R +10 district that also voted for Blackburn for Senate and the previous incumbent (Green) by more than 20 points. If by some miracle Behn wins the GOP is going to absolutely implode.
  13. They're going to lose to Michigan again.
  14. Yeah after learning more it's possible she even called in the hit.
  15. She just got thrown under the bus. Who gets fired first - her or Kash?
  16. Oh this is delicious: Nom nom nom
  17. Miami lost to Louisville at home and is ranked ahead of us. We are being punished for having 3 losses. It doesn’t matter who we lost to.
