Pawl isn't wrong but the thing that annoys me is Tennessee has an even worse schedule (identical 7 games + shittier OOC which offsets the diff between Bama and A&M)
I don't care if you call a spade a spade but you can't call our SEC slate the worst in 60 years without pointing out that the Vols got essentially the same draw. We both lost to Georgia so far just they have also lost to Arkansas which we did not.
I still can't believe he wanted to go be on this guy's staff.... Even if the allure of the alma mater was hyper strong I would have waited until BK's replacement got there.
Does LSU have anyone worth a shit to target in the portal? You've gotta assume the way the team quit and with Kelly berating players left and right because his shitty schemes weren't working that they will have a higher than normal exit rate this winter.
Mizzou sucks but I don't see them dropping both those games.
I just want Texas to beat Kentucky & A&M so secure a CFP berth and keep the Ags out in the process.
Would prefer to play Alabama in ATL because I think we match up better with them plus we then could say we beat the defending SEC Champs even though the SEC mouthbreathers would still come up with some idiotic excuse for why it didn't count/matter.
I was watching that game in a pub in London and thus didn't have an audio feed or closed captions. Had to go read LFZ to figure out WTF once we got back to my mate's flat because this was still in the dumb phone era.
The two upsets I want from other conferences is Miami losing in Syracuse and BYU losing in Tempe.
Unfortunately Pedo State is probably in the best spot with not having to play in the B10 title while having easy games left and a high enough poll position to get seeded higher than all the SEC non champs.
The only reason A&M's SOS is higher than ours is because Notre Dame vs Michigan.... They like Texas have 0 wins over teams ranked in the Week 13 polls so far.
If you ran the CFP from the coaches poll...
(1) Oregon
(2) Texas
(3) Miami
(4) Boise St
(5) Ohio State v. (12) BYU
(6) Penn State v. (11) Ole Miss
(7) Indiana v. (10) UGA
(8) ND v. (9) BAMA
First Team Out: Tennessee
We were down 12-28 to Oklahoma State before Vince went into super beast mode in the 2nd half and we scored 5 straight touchdowns to wind up blowing them out but by far and away that first half was the worst 2 quarters of football the 05 team played all season.
Last year they had to play two top 10 teams in Ole Miss & Missouri and top 20 Tennessee which automatically puts them at a tougher schedule than we will have by years end with only 2 ranked teams on the schedule.
Attempts to polish the turd will not work but to be fair Tennessee got the exact same schedule (we have 7 common opponents) just swap Aggy for Bama.
I don't really care about Kentucky visiting Austin but I am looking forward to visiting them next year.
I would totally take Kentucky and the points though because I would be shocked if Ewers can put up 21 on them.
