    Too many people here are underestimating the possibility of Ohio State remaining ahead of UT in the rankings no matter what happens.  It’s certainly possible UT leapfrogs OSU with a win, but it is definitely not a certainty.  The 2023 version of The Big XII isn’t doing us any favors in terms of conference strength and while ranked, a win over Ok. State isn’t worth that much nationally (really needed that OU win).  Yes, Bama on the road is a feather in the cap, but it was early and college football has always had a decency bias.  Would’ve helped if UT had won more Big XII games more convincingly.  My gut is we needed (2), not (1) undefeated ahead of us in the rankings to get into the CFP.

    They’re not leaving a 1-loss non conference champ OSU ahead of a 1-loss conference champ Texas.

    since the tweet doesnt really explain what those numbers mean, here it is in plain English.

    There are 133 FBS teams in 2023.

    Texas is ranked 131. Meaning there are only 2 other fucking teams (Tulane & Navy) that average fewer penalty yards called aganist their opponent. 

    we averaged getting only 35.2 yards a game called against our opponents. 

    Georgia 38.8 yards

    Bama 39 yards

    Oregon 43.7 yards

     

    and #1 on the list, getting 75.8 yards a game called against their opponents:  Aggy

     

    in 2022 we were 105 out of 131

    in 2021 were were 127 out of 130 (and we sucked in 2021)

    in 2020 is the lone outlier  55 out of 127

    in 2019 we were 116 out of 130

     

    its basically saying that in 4 of the last 5 years, were were in the top 20% of teams whose opponents played close to a mistake-free game

     

    I think it’s worse than that. The odds of being in the top 20% of that for 4 of those 5 years is probably incredibly low. Probably very few other teams in the same bit across that time span.

    Sark is nice to a fault.  I would consider looking in the mirror to figure out what I did that pissed that guy off so much he was going for it on 4th down when Texas was up 50-7 and there was 45 seconds left in the game.

    True. Though it felt like he was letting mostly freshmen play those last few minutes just to get snaps and Tech still couldn’t stop anything. There was no letup from backups which was nice to see.

    Unless you're on the committee and have some influence over the others, none of this means Jack diddly fuck.

    I hope we get in but not counting on it. With 12 teams from here on out we'll get our shot at the CFB playoffs soon.

    I am on the committee. But don’t have much influence so guess you’re right. 

  5. From a pure resume standpoint, Texas should be in over Oregon and Alabama (assuming conference win) and shouldn’t really be close. 
     

    Oregon SOS is weak (vs. Texas too 10 schedule) and has an 8 pt win vs a 50 pt win over the common opponent  

    Texas will have H2H road win over Alabama no matter what happens.

     

    The “Bama should be in as SEC champ” is weak as both teams would be conference winners with one loss (and think Texas SOS is better anyway).

    Little boy Daniel didn’t like that SI tweet

     

    Love the 1975 cherry-picked date. I figured it was cherry-picked since that date seemed completely arbitrary. Not 1970. Not 1980. 1975. 
     

    If you go to 1975, UT is 18-19 vs. ATM.  

    If you go to 1977, UT is 18-17 vs ATM. 

    If you look at the prior 34 games prior to 1975 (let’s cherry-pick while they’re at it), UT was 31-3 vs. ATM. So that 18-19 turns into 51-22.

  7. Reminds me of:

    https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/texas/news/longhorns-strong-has-no-expectations-for-2014/

     

    AUSTIN (105.3 THE FAN) -- The expectations won't be lowered for Charlie Strong in his first season leading the Texas Longhorns. But on Monday, Strong suggested otherwise -- maybe they should be.

    Strong told the Austin American Statesman that fans shouldn't expect the Longhorns to be national title contenders next season.

    "We will not be in the national championship game," said Strong.
