Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

Absolutely not. My only kinks are that a chick has to be legitimately attractive and also no fat chicks. And you are embarrassing yourself by rationalizing any moment in time in which O’Donnell was suitable. -

1) That sounds exhausting. What are we, 24 year olds? 2) Do not count me among your brethren. I never had to slump bust with anything near the likes of Rosie or Roseanne Barr and I wouldn’t now for all the money in the world. Yikes. -

Not sure why you quoted my post, as I sure as shit have not advocated for keeping difficult OOC games if the committee is going to punish those Ls. If a big OOC loss doesn't hurt you, as advertised, keep them. Otherwise, it's obvious they should go and the committee will have fucked up things further in allowing that to happen. -

BTW, on ND's 2026 schedule, their 2026 opponents' 2025 record is 64-79. That's buoyed heavily by Miami, SMU, USC and Navy. 8 teams with losing records of 2-10, 2-10, 3-9, 4-8, 4-8, 4-8, 4-8, and 5-7. For comparison's sake, the Texas 2026 opponents have a 2025 record of 90-54, 7 teams with winning records, 3 with losing records, and 2 at 6-6. Notre Dame is a 2026 lock and will almost certainly get a bye. -

We understand your position on this, as you've hammered every fucking page of several threads repeating it. Many of the rest of us would prefer to see good OOC games because we actually enjoy the sport. @immamac's point, which you either can't grasp or simply ignored, is that the committee can change the notion on "margin for error" by bringing Texas into the fold.- 4003 replies

This makes logical sense, but I don't know the drivers for any of it and would be lying to state otherwise. -

Auerbach's positioning is interesting because of who signs her paychecks. There has to be some squirm with the networks, especially NBC. If Texas just says "fuck you" and pulls out of all future difficult OOC games, the other big programs who still schedule similarly would happily follow suit. The programs are all locked in with their rev shares from the networks for the time being. The networks? Losing a game with 16 million pairs of eyeballs watching those ads and trading that in for the duds vs studs changes outcomes. Take away 20 others that post good numbers for dogshit FCS matchups and shit gets real. My one source of hope in regard to Texas having a shot is the idea that the execs can easily see this playing out like that and therefore applying pressure to the talking heads and the committee. These are all humans who are imperfect and money (or the removal of it) changes everything.- 4003 replies

Sarkisian went on the SEC morning show today and doubled down on both Texas deserving to be in the playoffs and reconsidering the OOC schedule going forward. He basically said, with the SEC going to 9 conference games, playing a major OOC foe is pointless with the way those losses are currently viewed. He took a number of thinly veiled potshots at the 2 loss teams ahead of Texas, with which I agreed. I don't expect Texas to cancel the home games versus OSU and Michigan, since Texas has already played both on the road. I will be surprised if Texas does not cancel the Notre Dame series. Someone needs to take the step of deplatforming ND and giving them little recourse. They will continue to weasel their way into the CFP until conferences uniformly stop scheduling them. The ND schedule next season is the absolute worst joke in CFB heading into the 2026 cycle. It's fucking sickening. I hate the premise of the OOC being comprised of 3 cupcakes including the boring likes of Rutgers, Purdue, and Wake Forest but it feels like that's where this debacle is headed. Auerbach is being really optimistic about the committee. I don't expect bravery to come from a committee of admins and old coaches.- 4003 replies

The word is that the program is ready to be very aggressive in the portal across the roster in order to maximize Manning's last season. There's been handwringing about retention and allocation for a while, but those same handwringers are now extremely bullish about being aggressive. IOL, TB, TE, WR are all priorities. There's less concern on the defensive side of the DC, although that doesn't mean they're not going to be pursuing difference makers at every spot and trying to find depth in a few places as well. I'm from Missouri on this cycle, personally. I think they're just going to cut bait on some of the higher rated, big contract guys who haven't done anything yet, whether that's premature or not being irrelevant. 2026 is supposed to be the year where it all comes together.- 574 replies

Dude, are you serious here? Texas absolutely amplifies the noise and music. I can take a picture of it from the SEZ next year and post it here, if you’d like. I didn’t realize this was a question (or a concern). -
Stewart was straight up purchased by ATM. That shit doesn’t work the same way anymore. This is a good get given that Texas is about to lose a lot of WR talent. Texas needs to win in the portal and land Lott because things are otherwise about to get thin.

Unfortunately, CJ Vogel views his reporting work through the lens of an international spy. He couldn’t be more cryptic if he tried and it is silly and irritating.
