  1. Missed the rest of the game after Texas was up 21-0. What’s the explanation for the change of fortune, how bad is the Ewers injury?
  2. The funny thing is that in most aspects, UW is UT’s PAC spirit animal. Or USC if you can overlook the private school bit.
  3. Haven’t seen enough of him to say but with some pretty JAGgy fronts the next couple weeks I’d like to see them get him some meaningful series and find out. They will value Connor’s experience even more with Majors out though so I realize I am yelling at clouds.
  4. Texas: 41 Houston: 20 Texas starts slow. Houston has some success against the Texas defense with their mobile QB and decent WR corps but their defense is not up for the challenge Texas is too much on the LOS over four quarters. Texas passing yardage: 242
  5. Nm thought I clicked the prediction thread lol
  6. Imagine even wanting to watch Charlie Strong Texas Football play mid 2010s Kansas. Sicko shit.
  7. I wouldn’t worry about that. I think the whole “bench Majors!” Crusade has been put to bed after seeing what that looks like. Hutson is worse at G than Majors is at C, I don’t think Hutson is going to be some revelation at a more difficult position. Who I really hope to see over the next couple of weeks is Neto.
  8. Hutson has been getting the second team center reps for most of camp/the season so that tracks. Also I don’t want to rag on Robertson’s performance given the circumstances but he was definitely not having a “we have to keep this guy in the field!” game
  9. OKC is a legitimate dump but Arlington is basically indistinguishable aside from Jerryworld. Tulsa is a nice town. Eastern Oklahoma is quite pretty. OU sucks. Also let’s not be stupid about why OU isn’t Nebraska. They are a blue blood football program with one of the single biggest talent hotbeds in the country in their backyard and an administration committed to doing whatever it takes to support a winning football program.
  10. How on god’s green earth does Juwann Mitchell still have eligibility?
  11. Kyle Shanahan’s signature second half collapse is even more impressive than Sark’s. No contest.
  12. I don’t think the USC move was about the SEC. At least not at the core. I think it was about having to put in the least amount of effort to be a a successful coach. He is a coordinator at heart and does not want to do the full job of a HC. Certainly not at the all consuming level it takes to win build a national championship level program in college.
  13. This is homer dumbfuck nonsense. No one said Oregon is unbeatable. Oregon and Texas would likely be a very competitive game that either team could win.
  14. Oregon goes on road as #8 to play #7. Game is a back and forth classic that comes down to the last play and easily could have gone the other way, very much validating Oregon’s ranking right behind Washington. Oregon drops three spots below teams it was previously ranked above while a Washington rises to 5. There are now five teams between Oregon and Washington. Make it make sense lol
  15. “My first born child is getting married at Hotel ZaZa but I might fuck around and miss the ceremony to watch a college football game between the University of Texas and Cougar High in person” is an extremely weird flex but go off king.
  16. lol morning brain go brrr Correct, 95% each is ~1-in-4 chance of taking a L, 90% is roughly 50/50. The sentiment remains
  17. Diving more into tiers this week, within each I view the teams as very closely grouped and think you could argue for plenty of different orders. Tier 1 - These teams have the inside track to the CFP and have reason to believe they can compete at that level. 1.) Georgia - this continues to be a BOTD ranking2.) Ohio State - at some point we have to acknowledge that their defense appears to be quite good, right?3.) Washington4.) Oregon - might look weird to move them up with a loss but I view them as virtually tied with Washington, who I have had as top 5 for a little while. Despite taking a tough L yesterday I think their body of work is more consistent than FSU and unlike Michigan or Penn State they have actually been on the field with another good team.5.) Florida State6.) Michigan7.) Oklahoma8.) Texas9.) Penn State - haven't played anyone and unlike Michigan and UGA they don't have recent pedigree to fall back on. It was a mistake having them ahead of OU and Texas before. We'll see what they are made of this week.10.) North Carolina - maybe a little controversial to include them in this tier but they comfortably beat a pretty good Miami team despite having over 150+ yards in penalties. Mack Brown has won a lot of games with the combo of an elite QB and a strong pass rush and he appears to have that. Tier 2 - Good teams who are not quite on the level of that first tier for whatever reason; a glaring flaw, inexplicable ugly loss, that sort of thing. 11.) Notre Dame - I continue to think this is actually a very good team but I have no idea wtf that Louisville loss was and I don't trust Freeman as a HC on game day.12.) Alabama13.) Oregon State - road loss to Wazzu was tough (and looking worse after Wazzu got demolished by UA) but this is a very solid team. They just don't have quite the ceiling of a roster full of blue chip recruits.14.) Duke - basically a less athletic Alabama. Who had that comparison on their CFB bingo card to start the year?15.) Ole Miss16.) LSU17.) USC - I've been short on them since early in the year and ND showed why. They can get Oregon or Washington in a shootout on a good day but they are just not a championship team on either LOS. Tier 3 - Teams that can bite anyone on their best day but you start to see a very large gap between these guys and the best teams. 18.) Clemson - debated putting them in Tier 2 but I am a seller on this group despite picking them for the CFP preseason. Late-Mack Texas vibes strong to quite strong.19.) Utah - I think this was a potential Tier 1 team if not for all of their injury issues, headlined by Rising. Now I think it is too late for them to get going even if he did come back and without him they are DOA against Oregon and Washington. I'd be surprised if they beat USC but that is in the realm of possibility.20.) Miami - I didn't drop them much with the kneel down thing but they were beaten comfortably by UNC. The win over aggy is losing its shine too. Tier 4 - The thing about Top 25 polls is you have to include 25 teams. I think Kansas probably belongs in this group with Jalon Daniels but with it being so unclear when he'll be back you have to rank them on what's out there now. 21.) Louisville - just as I have no idea wtf ND's loss to this team was, I have no idea how the collapsed against a bad Pitt team. Clearly they have a decently high ceiling but that's a horrible loss.22.) Missouri23.) Kansas State - I have a feeling they are going to get their shit together on offense and roll into Austin 6-2. I don't think the defense is getting fixed this year though.24.) UCLA - I had them ranked well below Oregon State and they lose a competitive game. I don't think that's a reason to drop them out.25.) Tulane - Giving them the nod over undefeated Air Force from the G5 ranks. Nice win over Memphis and they were competitive with Ole Miss without their starting QB.
  18. I will also be preoccupied and likely not watch much/any of the game, and not sad about it at all. Either it's a laugher like it should be, in which case who cares, or it's close/a loss and I don't want to see that. UH probably puts up some points with a strong-armed mobile QB that has some decent WRs (i.e. well-equipped to exploit Texas's weak-in-coverage back 7 and problems with mobile QBs) and experience against Texas. However I fail to see how the UH defense offers significant resistance. If the Texas offense comes to play this is over by halftime. It's possible they start out of sync, don't pull away until the second half, and this board melts down. A loss is really hard to envision though, Houston is right there with Baylor in the race for worst team on the schedule. Anyone with lingering health issues (Sanders, Watts) should sit.
  19. Of course winning six straight is a challenge. Even if you give Texas a 95% win probability in each game going 6-0 is a coin flip. I find it hard to believe Texas loses either of its next two games but there will be a game or two in November were they're not playing well/and or the opponent is playing extremely well and they're going to have to find a way to win.
  20. They’re probably going to be 9-0 going into the Duke game. Next three opponents are UVA, Georgia Tech, and Campbell(?).
  21. UCLA TE just slept Oregon St safety goddamn
