They’re celebrating Klein… But there’s no way Weigman and Stewart stick around to play in the K State power run offense, right?

Honestly, I feel like most of the country forgets UW exists. Oregon at least has the Nike/Phil Knight angle — lucky the BIG agreed to take y’all as a package deal.
I’m excited for Husky fans to experience Texas football when we have something to play for and don’t have 3 NFL draft picks opting out.- 2

True fact. Enjoy those coaches that failed at Washington.
PK was DC on a UW team that played in the CFP semis. How was that failure lol?- 4

Washington's a great team, but their SOR at #1 is a complete red herring. It's based entirely on the premise that the PAC was solid competition this year... Traditionally, their OOC opponents would've been decently strong...
But it gets really ugly if you look into it further:
-Washington beat Mel Tucker's 4-8 Michigan State (congrats)
-Oregon beat 6-6 "dark horse" Texas Tech by 8 on a last-minute pick six (lol)
-"#14" Arizona lost to a Zach Arnett led 5-7 Mississippi State (lol)
-Cal lost at home to a 6-6 Auburn team who got mudholed by New Mexico State (lol)
-Arizona State lost to OSU at home by 12 when Gundy was still rotating QBs (lol)
-Utah beat 5-7 Florida at home by 13 and 3-9 Baylor due to a controversial PI no call
-Wazzu beat a 7-5 Wisconsin squad who was breaking in a new coach
-Colorado beat 5-7 TCU by 3 with healthy Shadeur / Hunter and before Deion had put anything on film
-USC lost by 28 and Stanford lost by 33 to 9-3 Notre Dame

Sark mentioned that Watts will be healthy and Austin Jordan is a maybe… What about Catalon? Or has he essentially medically retired? It’d be massive to have him for the CFP…
-
I'm still confused about them hiring a defense-oriented HC... When the offense has been their main limitation...

We were walking and talking to this guy from Europe who was with Georgia fans he met at his hostel. They were all singing some kind of Georgia songs. Europe guy asks me why he hasn’t heard anybody singing Texas songs. I told him he will be hearing them after the game.
The Georgia fans beforehand were incredibly cocky and thinking it was going to be a cakewalk.
This. I have never interacted with a more over confident fanbase than Georgia in '18.

Texas is extremely well-positioned -- couldn't ask for a more fortuitous set up... UW is solid and the best passing threat we'll face, but they'll be traveling ~2,500 miles to face what'll be an overwhelmingly pro-Texas crowd in the Superdome... The winner of Michigan / Bama would then have to face Texas 7 days after their semi in Pasadena in Houston (our backyard)...
With the 12 team playoff introducing more variables, this is likely the best shot we will have at a title...

Anyone else have their Seatgeek ticket purchased cancelled? Locked in at $525 each and now seeing the same ones listed for $975. These early ticket listings are straight from the facilities tkt broker (Ticketmaster) Fukrs!!
Same here. Unbelievable that the ticket brokers are allowed to do this. -
It feels like Sark’s $5M/yr is about to turn into $9-10M/yr.

The contrast in Sark’s 1st half creativity vs. 2nd half play-calling is so outrageous.

Maybe that alamo bowl last year was a preview of cfp semifinals
A Texas team with 0 opt outs would beat UW by 2 scores…- 1

Oregon is college football’s biggest fraud this year. They will 100% be exposed in a semi-final in the form of an ass beating.
-
FSU got to 12-0 by beating a subpar LSU team and then outclassing shitty to mediocre ACC competition… Louisville will probably roll over for them. And then FSU will lose by ~40 in the semis.

If anyone is interested in an OSU booster take, one of my relatives is a mid-tier OSU booster with connections in the OSU program.
He mostly confirmed what we're all seeing and thinking, but with a little more detail.
1) He is pessimistic and not going to Arlington for the game.
2) OSU has been very mistake prone and he thinks this will bite them in the ass.
3) Ewers is going to carve them up.
4) Gordon is a beast, but TX run D is filthy. Gordon is dinged up, but nothing serious. Thinks TX defense will slow Gordon down.
5) Bowman is wildly bipolar in his play, which infects the whole team. OSU is good when Bowman is on and awful when he's off. Thinks Bowman's play is going to determine the game.
Gordon had 38 touches against BYU… And 30 touches against Houston… That isn’t a sustainable workload — especially against this TX defense… Bowman will probably have 30-40 pass attempts, so Gundy will need him to magically overcome the turnover bug overnight. -
Ha, you must not follow acc sports very closely. Not a single student or booster on that campus cares one bit about their football team. Maybe that’ll change now that coach k has retired, but I doubt football will every be a priority there.
(All this to say that you’re probably right about the first bit and probably not about the last bit, in my opinion)
Ha, you must not follow Duke sports closely… The entire campus rallied behind Elko and the football team (see UNC last year or Notre Dame this year). In the rare times when Duke football is winning, they have a small but avid fanbase. Duke’s AD fully understands that making football competitive is the #1 priority. Duke Bball is obviously huge, but football is the main revenue driver (and expense) in college athletics. And Duke doesn’t want to get left behind in the next round of re-alignment… -
LSU at #14 is absurd and only serves to prop up the shit sandwich that is the SEC this year.

Florida as a program has like 200 wins less than Texas. No, they are not "almost identical."
Hooray for us, I guess. Florida has won 2 titles in the 2000s (‘06 and ‘08). Texas has won 1 and played for another (‘05 and ‘09). Both programs have churned through coaches since then… I know you’d like to believe we’re special, but in the modern era, UF has achieved a similar level of success…- 1

Maybe 25 years ago.
LSU will be fun if Kelly gets them going again.
Lol. You do realize that UF is almost identical to Texas right? Won a championship in ‘08 but have struggled since… They’ll eventually be a marquee matchup again — it’s all cyclical. -
- I hope not
- Meh, not really. The only conference games that will move the needle are Georgia and Bama. And before your first part came true we were playing those level of teams home and home OOC anyway.
Tennessee and Florida move the needle as well… -

If Ryan Watts would've wrapped up Bryce Young in '22, Casey Cain's catch to set up the game winning field goal would be considered an all-timer... Game of inches... Best of luck to him!
