  1. How you act after a big loss is a good indication of whether you have a winning character. I wasn't impressed with the character those 2 Nebraska freshman showed in the presser. And I wasn't impressed with some of the coach's comments either, not exactly setting a great example for his team. The gals get a bit of a pass for being freshman and having a mic stuck in their face after being humiliated on a big stage, but clearly they have some growing up to do. That Nebraska team has talent for sure, will be interesting to see how they respond. The future is bright for Texas as well. I think we're only seeing a glimpse of what Swindle is capable of and Texas can always get the big powerful hitters.
  2. I honestly think there was a good chance the SEC would have been left out if FSU hadn't looked epically bad on offense in the last 2 games. The ACC CCG sealed FSU's fate with the committee watching that abortion of a game. If FSU had just lined up in wildcat all night, the optics would have been better and then they could have said their #2 guy would be back for the playoffs with plenty of time for both QB's to get reps. No good came from sticking that poor #3 guy out there for the world to see. You just can't leave that game as the last impression on the committee when there are 4 other deserving champs in play. By the end of that game, my opinion totally shifted from "you can't leave out an undefeated P5" to "there is no way you can put that team in the playoffs". I assume the committee felt the same. I thought Texas was in after the Bama win regardless of ACC outcome, so I think my view of FSU was pretty unbiased. Sucks for FSU, it will be interesting to see what they do against Georgia.
  3. If Texas does win a title this year, we shouldn't give Sark anything because Texas will still suck and we just got lucky this year. At least that's what the folks over on Texags are saying... They are already mentally conditioning themselves for a very long aggy winter. It's coming.
  4. Yeah, I'm not sure any of these guys are really doing it for the $ once you get to $10m+/yr. Maybe ego if you aren't making more than the next guy. But NFL clearly appeals to some of these guys who have their choice. Sark seems to really like the relationship/teacher aspect of college, but I'm just guessing that based on his public statements.
  5. Does anyone know if Sark has ambitions to go back to the NFL? I know Sark often references Saban, but I think he aligns closer to Pete Carroll. I don't know if he shares Pete's drive to coach in the NFL or not, but that seems like a potential risk in a few years if he has interest. I can't see him going to another college program unless Texas screws things up in a big way (ie bring back patterson, etc.). I say pay the man ~$9m plus some good incentives, but no long term guarantees. This year has been great on all levels, but it's a down year for the conference and obviously a small sample size. A couple more years of double digit wins and I'll be convinced. I feel like we're still in the first quarter and up 21 points. Feels really good, but no guarantee we're winning the long game yet. We've definitely had some things fall our way this year and we could have easily missed the CCG and playoffs based on a couple plays, but winners make their own luck in my opinion (at least in the long term).
  6. I endured the FSU game instead of the B1G last night and just assumed the Michigan game must have been much better. It might have been better, but pretty amazing that Michigan had less yards of offense last night (213) than FSU (219). I haven't really watched Michigan this year, didn't realize playing football like that was still a thing.
  7. Yeah, I don’t think sark’s agent is gonna waste the keystrokes asking for 7. If they push for something, I assume it would be closer to 10 than 7. Does Sark have interest in going back to nfl at some point?
  8. Not so sure, I thought Georgia looked pretty pedestrian yesterday. I honestly haven't watched them play much this year, so maybe the last couple weeks are a byproduct of some of the injuries or just bad days. That said, I'm certainly enjoying the desperation coming out of Georgia right now. I guess it's Kirby's job to fight to the end, but the optics are delightfully pathetic.
  9. For seeding, I'd rather see washington first. I think that's the toughest matchup for Texas, more time to prep.
  10. FSU with an unimpressive win against a terrible Louisville team. For anyone who didn't understand why we wanted Bama to win today, this is why. We're not 100% in, but most everyone in the media is saying Texas is in over bama. Fingers crossed... I still think Bama has a shot as well, FSU looked so bad. Rematch with Bama for championship would be pretty sweet. Otherwise, all the SEC homers would be saying it's not a real championship without an SEC champ.
  11. Coming into today, I thought it was a long shot the committee would leave out an undefeated FSU if Bama won. Watching this ACC CCG, I think FSU is out. Only ray of hope is that the committee gives them the benefit of the doubt that their 2nd string QB has a pulse. I almost think Louisville is tanking on purpose to get some of that CFP money and FSU might still lose.
