  1. yay, tied them in the 2nd half!
  2. heide is a waste of a scholarship
  3. This is gonna just be a whistle fest to the end. Virgina is in the double bonus at the 10min mark.
  4. he worked in the 10 year old "Oh no he di' int!" so he's good for the night. no insider "nicknames"
  5. so the UVA guard can just shove our guy OOB?
  6. 6 fouls in 3 minutes.
  7. ha. 4 of the top 6 have SOS 40 or higher. zero discussion about that. If Ohio State didn't play Texas they'd probably have a SOS in the low 50's and still be #1.
  8. holy shit our defense just abysmal.
  9. and hilariously we played 4 of them and went 3-1 but we are getting left out. why? because of the number in the loss column. add ND who played aggy and lost at home and we drilled, have better SOS, SOR. why? loss column.
  10. it matters for SEC and Big Ten. they sprinkle in ACC/Big 12/G5 as you get down the poll. 1-10 are in order of loss column(even Tech with the 69th ranked schedule or some such) BYU is in there because they expect them to lose and they are Big 12 and they are #11 so it doesn't matter anyway for playoff(you have to be in the 10 spot) They always try to do something down the poll to show it isn't just loss column. Vandy is the only outlier for Big Ten/SEC and that was easy because we beat them head to head and guess what, it still doesn't mean anything because 11-25 aren't making the playoff. once they decide on the field things will move to try to avoid rematches.
  11. this. we aren't making the point, the data and the committees own stated criteria are making the point.
  12. unfortunately a shit ton of learnin' is happening to Sark this year. I still laugh that the guy's whole O is predicated on running Inside Zone but he hasn't fired his OL coach that can't teach or recruit OL to run it. He's forced to OZ which he just wants to be the change up to bust explosives after IZ is established.
  13. I've always been on the get a decent P4 train. no real upside to scheduling a 50/50 or 40/60 type OOC. it is funny though, back in the SWC days we always had OU as a big OOC but and we'd have a PSU or Auburn or someone like that every once in a while as well. the main goal was to win the SWC and win the cotton bowl. if the chips fell right maybe you win the MNC but if you didn't win your conf and associated bowl game you weren't going to win the NC. Even in the 2 and 4 BCS/playoff format it was harder if you weren't a conf champ of something called the SEC. the SEC made all the other conferences think they needed to schedule a big OOC. The biggest problem though is we have had 2 solid 10 year periods in the last 40 years where we were a clusterfuck. one was epic scale cheating/with mid coaching and the other was incompetency at the HC position. now the MNC is actually an NC and that is the main goal and to do that you have to get into the tourney. Yes winning the conf is nice, probably gets you a bye, but as it has always been, you have to minimize the number of losses. before LSU there were zero instances of a team winning the NC with 2 losses BEFORE the bowl game. as an at large, with the unbalanced schedules in the superconference era, you will need to have less than 3(before CCG)90% of the time to make the 7 at large spots. It would be silly to play games that are a coin flip or worse, when you get to choose the opponent and SOS doesn't matter.
  14. yeah, I was making a joke but they do anyway - see ND.
  15. nah, we just need to go 7-2 in SEC(which we can do no problem) and not lose OOC games.
  16. good stuff. unfortunately it is clear the committee doesn't consider entire resume or SOS or SOR or wins . If someone asked that dumbass from Arkansas what about Texas close loss to Ohio State he'd a) point to Florida and b) say that was early in the season. Which would be funny because that would be our entire point but he so fucking dumb I can guarantee he would say it. our close wins get scrutinized but our close losses are just normal losses/bad losses to these guys. anyway, don't lose 3 games and set your schedule to your advantage and beat every team by as much as possible no matter who they are. it is obvious a SOS in the 40's means absolutely ZERO to the committee. our SOS will never be in the 40's. As an aside, The rivalry game thing cracks me up. the dumbass Arkansas AD actually used it for Alabama who barely beat(with ref help) a 5-7 rival. And of course avoided it when it is Texas crushing rivals by 10+ including 2 rivals who are playoff teams and his own fucking shitty ass football team. The whole thing is ridiculous. cancel the OOC blue bloods, schedule a mid or lower P4 and get ready for conf games. christ we can spend time game planning to beat our conf teams instead of game planning a ton for a first game of the season with a blueblood.
  17. That would be great if the committee actually considered top 10 or top 25 wins at all.
  18. you forgot the committee rule "only consider Texas' close wins when discussing comparable opponents"
  19. yep. I think someone upthread mentioned ND was sending packets out to media also. They knew what was coming because they didn't beat anyone worth a shit.
  20. it is just so obvious. the moving us over Vandy is obvious so they could say us and Vandy were comparable and use H2H and "show" that it isn't about loss column. this is so fucking ridiculous. showing us against ND and Miami would make them look like dumbasses for not putting us in.
  21. counterpoint: they are Vandy
  22. yes several things called wins. let me see if I can find a committee metric on "squeakers". oh there isn't. there is actually a statement that "margin of victory" is not considered.
  23. how do you decide which teams are comparable before you use the SOS, H2H, injured players, common opponents?
  24. It's funny how little the committee values our win over #3 and undefeated aggy.
  25. Bama completely shitting the bed against dirt burglar fucked all kinds of shit up.
