  1. I was in my 20s and had more tolerance for stupid bullshit. Given the events of the last 20 years I'm about all out of tolerance. Seems like you are too. Throwing random personal insults to someone you don't know who didn't attack you in any way. What kind of person does that make you?
  2. I know who he is. It's still embarrassing to have to beg to be included in the playoffs for any sport. College football is completely broken.
  3. This same problem existed before as well. Just you didnt have any way of determining a true champion so the beauty pageant stuff was about who was #1 at the end of the season. Not #12. The problem with the sport is conferences being completely unbalanced. The only way to fix it is to cut out G5 into their own separate level of CFB and re-rack the conferences to balance them out with power teams. The other option is to force OOC matchups between the p4 conferences where every team has to play them. If everyone has to play difficult OOC games then it adds more balance and we get a lot more of this stuff settled head to head. They could even cut out all cupcake games and have each p4 conference play the other 3 p4 conferences in 3 ranked matches then have the 9 game conference schedule. That would be a true battle to crown a champion as all 4 of the conference champions from the previous year would have to play each other as their non con games.
  4. Now our university employees are publicly begging to be picked in the CFB beauty pageant. This sucks so much. I've been trending away from football and towards hockey a little bit more every year for about a decade, I'm about done with this beauty pageant bullshit.
  5. This is wrong because rankings are wrong, especially early in the season. We obviously weren't the best team in the country in late August but were ranked 1. Ideally, there should only be 1 single ranking done and that's at the end of the season. Since they won't do that, the best you can do is wait until the end of the season and judge based on where every team finished, not where they started or were at any point before the season finished.
  6. And that just makes the sport suck even more. Sports is supposed to be about what happens on the field/court and this corporate corruption shit makes me want to watch it even less. And I've put out aboit the best solution to this problem under current circumstances. That would make them tons of money as well. But it won't happen. So we'll just get this shit every year.
  7. Of course it's the reality. Which anyone with a brain knew would most likely happen going into the season. Then getting run over by Florida's running game and whopped by Georgia sealed the deal. Removing any single one of those losses and it's a no doubt playoff team. That's what we've been saying all along.
  8. Fantastic. Making the playoffs when you probably don't deserve to because of corporate corruption. Very proud moment to be a longhorn if that happens
  9. Im not playing Arch behind a backup line. The game belongs to Lacy with Caldwell backing up
  10. Yes, go into it with a true freshman who hasn't played all year and zero backup QBs. Brilliant idea
  11. No way in hell I play arch. He's suffered enough with the shit line
  12. Yes, but probably don't want Lacy getting the whole game.
  13. Hopefully Sark uses the bowl game as a fancy scrimmage. Get Caldwell and Lacy out there. Get Daniel Cruz and the backup OL they expect to stay some reps. Get the kid receivers and kid DBs some reps. Evaluation time.
  14. When is the portal opening? I guess Sark doesn't have to worry about juggling portal with playoff prep this year. Put everything in to the portal and final HS class
  15. 24 team playoff is too many games after playing a 12 game season. I'd rather they just scrap the byes, go to a 16 team playoff, and scrap all auto bids. Just rank all the teams 1 to 16 and seed it by ranking.
  16. There's no way to do a "normal playoff" with well over 100 teams eligible and conferences that are completely unbalanced. The entire system would have to be scrapped and redone to get rid of the auto bids for weak conferences by eliminating weak conferences.
  17. Alabama deserves to be in over us no doubt. OU is questionable. They also had a tough SEC schedule. The difference between the two, other than we beat them H2H, is their blue blood OOC opponent happened to suck this year and ours ended up the undefeated #1 ranked team at the end. Not their fault, they scheduled up like we did in OOC, they just got the luck of the draw that we got last year by getting a Michigan that was a shell of it's Harbaugh era self. To me that's the only question for the committee. Does our H2H win and harder OOC opponent mean more than their 1 fewer loss due to the easier OOC opponent.
  18. Every player who isn't going to be back next season should not play. Just use it as an experience game for the young guys returning you want to step up into a role next season. It's just a glorified scrimmage. Means nothing. Just use it as such. Hell, Sark and Moore could probably both agree to that. It's just a shame if we can't be in the playoffs that our last memory of this team won't be kicking aggy ass.
  19. The NCAA should mandate the top 4 teams in the Big 10 from the previous season have to play each other in the following season due to the league being ridiculously top heavy. It's completely unbalanced compared to the SEC. Anyone who says "well OSU took a chance and played us" needs to look at OSU's schedule. Outside of Michigan, whose best win was Nebraska, Texas is the really only legitimate team they played all year. They had a conference schedule cake walk to the Big 10 title game. We have no idea how good they actually are until they get Indiana in a week and then someone like Georgia in the playoffs.
  20. Gonna be honest. In this era of NIL, portal, and playoffs this does nothing for me. I doubt I'll watch more than a quarter of it if any at all. It's just a new era. If you arent in the playoffs you're irrelevant. Some NIT like consolation prize game just isn't important enough for my time with all I have going on.
  21. Let's look at Georgia's OOC schedule... Marshall App St Charlotte Georgia Tech Are they going to be losing a road playoff game before Christmas?
  22. Would have to go to a 16 team playoff and still doesnt fix the unbalanced nature of the conferences. Michigan's best win all year might be Nebraska. They also didnt play Indiana or Oregon just like OSU. They got blown out by USC. They don't deserve any mention of a playoff spot. There's no way this gets fixed any time soon if ever. The conferences are going to be wildly unbalanced. That's why it makes no sense for an SEC team to schedule a difficult OOC game because the SEC schedule is mostly brutal compared to any other conference's schedule.
  23. Especially Alabama who also had a loss OOC to a terrible Florida St team. So you would have to throw out their loss if you throw out our loss. Which makes them a 1 loss team. There's no good way to put us in without screwing over another team with a better record. The committee isn't going to do that unless that team has an injured QB. Even if that team beat no one all season and we beat 3 top 10 teams and lost to the #1 and #3 teams in the final standings. Only real way to do NFL scheduling is to take ths top 32 programs in the country, break it off into a separate level of college football, create 2 conferences and 8 divisions of 4 teams. So basically it becomes NFL Lite.
  24. Or yet another way, their only loss in conference was to a team with 6 conference wins. That means the teams they beat in conference had a combined 13 conference wins. For 7 teams.
