    I think there are only 4 scenarios where we get in

    1. Both Washington and Oregon lose this week to their in state rivals.

    2. One of Washington or Oregon lose this week and then follows that up by winning the Pac 12.

    3. The winner of Ohio State/Michigan loses to Iowa.

    4. Florida State loses to either Florida or Louisville.

    (4) is the only one that I think is going to happen, so I'm rooting hard for it.  The SEC champ is getting in no matter what; there's no sense spending time arguing about it. It makes you look naive to spend time suggesting they would leave them out.

    I'm maybe slightly worried that (4) happens, Georgia loses, and the committee takes Georgia instead of Texas. But it's not a real worry. The only way I can see that happening is if our wins over Tech and the Big 12 runner up look like the TCU type win where no one thinks we look impressive.  And honestly, if play like that, a lot of us deep down won't think we're better than Georgia either.

     

    I think there is a real chance (maybe not >50%, but real), that if FSU loses, Bama wins out and Oregon wins out, Texas and Bama both make it in over Oregon. Yes it would require the committee to reverse Texas and Oregon even though Oregon’s most impressive two wins would have come in the final two weeks. But, if we beat Tech more handily than Oregon and Bama shows they can beat Georgia, that might be enough for the committee to latch onto.

    If they put a one loss bama in over us then we should cancel the Michigan game next year and schedule incarnate word, because what's the point of even having that big intersectional game?

    I don’t agree with this as a fan, because I love watching those games, but I do agree that Sark should be on all the tv shows running with that line between the big 12 championship game and final selection. What’s the point of scheduling big time road OOC games if you don’t get a real benefit in winning?

    Yup, there are basically 3 tiers:

     

    1) Blue Bloods (8 schools) - perennial contenders

    2) Half bloods (about 16 schools) - have a fantastic year once every 5-10 years, maybe contend every once in a while

    3) everyone else

     

     

    aggie falls into #2 only because of their location, money, and rabid fanbase. Their history is shit and their tradition has become an albatross around their neck

    I mean, if you want to consider us a blue blood, I probably wouldn’t use “perennial contender” as your metric, homie

    Really wondering how the recruiting dynamic changes with either an Elko or Traylor hire. With how they are paying off Jimbo via the athletic fund it seen clear there was already some in-fighting going on and the high level donors aren't pulling in the same direction.. All I've heard on the Elko/Traylor debate is that it's heated and split. 

    Maybe the going rate for defensive tackles will be reset since one coach won’t be trying to build a roster for an 11-0 defense.

    You and I have a very similar list.

    1. Social Network (Best Movie of the 2010s)

    2. Zodiac 

    3. Se7en

    4. Dragon Tattoo (this movie fucking rips)

    5. Fight Club

    6. The Killer

    7. Gone Girl

    8. The Game

    9. Button

    10. Panic

    11. Mank

    12. Alien

    Shit, I forgot about Mank! I actually liked that movie. I might rank it above Button, but that movie just didn’t really work for me. 

  6. 1. Zodiac

    2. Social Network

    3. Se7en*

    4. Fight Club*

    5. The Killer

    6. Gone Girl

    7. The Game

    8. Dragon Tattoo

    9. Button

    10. Panic Room

    11. Alien 3

    *I watched these movies when I was like 12 years a few years after they came out, and they blew my 12 year old mind. If they came out now, they might be lower, but fuck it.

    Offense:

    LT - Soph

    LG - Soph

    RG - Soph

    QB - Rs. Soph…. Unique too with limited amount of experience (graduated early, wasted/lost year at OSU)

    RB - Soph/Fr.

    We have more upper class men on defense but we are thin. Safety has upper class men but is weak spot with depth.

    LB is Ford…. And freshman Hill… everyone else is a jag/scrub

    CB/NB is solid, DT/DL is solid.

    Hayden Connor is a junior bruh. And if you want to play games to classify two guys who will be in the pros next year in Ewers and Brooks as underclass to make yourself feel better, have at it. But this is not a young team by college football standards. We are experienced and talented (which is why we’re 9-1).

    Or maybe… hear me out… a lot of the most talented players on our team are young. They are really talented but they tend to do dumb shit and, like young players do, they fuck up more than they “should.” We like, most young teams, play up and down to levels of competition.

    Except that isn’t true. On offense, 9 out of 11 starters are at least third year players. Depends on the formation but defense is also 8 or 9 of 11 starters being at least third year players. We have some talented younger guys getting meaningful snaps, but the young team excuse doesn’t fly this year.
