  1. Additional thought on Quinn Ewers going forward: I suppose the playoff bracket could effect any decision to replace Quinn. For example, if Texas’ first (2) opponents are SMU followed by Arizona State or Boise, Quinn may be granted a longer leash. If it’s Bama/Clemson/other, maybe not so much. And if Quinn performed against SMU, Arizona St/Boise, he may be granted more leash for the semifinal, but I would bet that semifinal leash will be very short. It’s win or go home from here on out, and there are no guarantees you’ll be playing for a championship next year while they absolutely are playing for one now
  2. I saw Sark on the sidelines on several occasions visually frustrated, shaking his head, and mumbling under his breath after a Ewers bone-headed throw/decision which I interpreted as there were execution problems of said plays, and one’s Sark thought were pretty damn obvious
  3. I want Georgia. And I want them with Arch at QB
  4. I’m seeing a lot of people slotting Ohio State over Penn State (head-to-head) and slotting Ohio State over Texas. The possibilities truly are endless
  5. Alright. Calling it a night. I’m going to bed thinking the Big XII commissioner was absolutely right: the logos on the side of the helmet absolutely DO matter, forget what you think is fair, and recognize that ratings matter. All of this bespeaks of SMU getting fucked, and I think they absolutely will. Hello Bama. Now it’s just about matchups. Do they want Texas v Bama or Clemson and how do you flip-flop various seeds to make that happen?
  6. Really? Because I think they are absolutely going to axe SMU and Iowa State already got the axe
  7. There’s so many ways this damn committee can land, none of us really have any idea how this will land tomorrow. I’m listening to national sports talk radio (Fox sports) as I type this and they just had the host debating with some Bama hack making the case for Bama. The host said something along the lines “Texas’ loss to Georgia today may hurt Bama’s chances of getting in because Texas and SMU basically have the same resume (losing to only valid opponents w/ wins over teams barely in or out of the top 25) and that it would be illogical to put Texas in the playoff and not SMU. They both agreed Texas should drop below ND & Penn State. The point is the opinions are endless, and who knows the logic of the committee
  8. I would imagine the committee is absolutely going to use SMU’s loss to keep them out of the playoff completely
  9. We’ll see what they ultimately decide, but there is a lot of debate online outside Texas circles about whether Penn State and/or Notre Dame should be seeded ahead of Texas. Really hard to predict how the committee will go, but I think it’s only realistic to assume ratings matter
  10. Well the networks would certainly love those 1st RD matchups: Clemson @ Texas, Bama @ Penn State, Indiana @ Notre Dame in state, Tennessee @ Ohio State. In a future where there is no deserve, only ratings this very well could be what the committee decides on though they could flip flop Bama and Clemson
  11. It’s simple. They’re the only team on our schedule that could
  12. I’m not so sure about that. We were in the playoff regardless of today’s outcome. It’s win or go home from here on out, and while it certainly has felt Sark passed on many an opportunity to make a change this season, I think underperformance in a playoff game might just be the impetus
  13. Quinn’s done here. In this scenario, he would be transferring somewhere for his senior year if he discovers his draft stock is inadequate which he may find it very well may be
  14. I’ve been saying that for quite some time now
  15. SMU absolutely belongs nowhere near the playoff…..
  16. Because they lost to Northern Illinois and didn’t play anybody, but I can’t say this isn’t a possibility. Too many unknowns in the hands of the committee to predict right now
  17. I think you need to read that post again
  18. If Clemson wins (and it’s early, but that feels VERY possible at the moment) Bama is most definitely in the conversation if not THE favorite for the 12-seed
  19. I agree, but it doesn’t mean it was the right decision. Now, as I stated more than a month ago, you needed to be making that decision back then, not now
  20. SMU turned it over already. Clemson winning is most likely path to Texas drawing Bama RD1
