Texas O-line talk
The 9.95ers think Goosby is most likely back.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
That's because the ACC is a borderline G5 conference. Texas will have ample opportunity to prove themselves playing 9 SEC games every year.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I knew we weren't getting in, so I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the rankings. Bama doesn't deserve to be there, but ND deserves it even less. Stop playing a soft ass schedule and join a fucking conference.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Why? Entertainment? The playoffs would be more entertaining to me. Bad look? No one cares. Look at Indiana and Tech's OOC schedules. Everyone is glazing them today.

Anyone still think big OOC games are worth it? "But we did what's best for the sport! Yipee!!!"

Let’s all be Hoosiers for their run….
OU should still have plenty left over from Baker and Murray then. Colorado too.

Sounds good unless Tech wins it all this year and completely deligitimizes it.

This isn't Nick Saban's Bama.

I think they leave Bama out after their beatdown. Solves the Miami/ND conundrum.

2025 Big Ten Championship - Ohio State vs. Indiana
I've yet to see evidence that God cares about anything more than football.

2025 Big Ten Championship - Ohio State vs. Indiana
Highly unlikely, but I'll be rooting for Ole Miss to stick it to Lane.

2025 Big Ten Championship - Ohio State vs. Indiana
Yeah. The narrative is that they weren't really trying, or something.

So maybe our defense actually did hold the OSU offense in check, and they just didn't play anyone else with a pulse until now.

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
I knew they were at/near the top. $35M is the number I've seen thrown around, whether true or not. But $30M appears to be the standard next season. Other programs, somehow someway, are finding the money. Will Texas stay ahead of the pack and increase its payroll even more? The 2026 OL/DL class makes me question that. You had to be willing to pay big money for those guys, even before rev share. Are they shifting more focus to the portal?

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
For next season apparently. Then $50M. Then $75M... With no meaningful regulation, the endgame looks like Tech and Oregon running away from the pack. I'm guessing Texas will attempt to position itself in the upper echelon, assuming the BBs are in the box. But it no longer seems like they're leading the NIL charge. Whether that's because they aren't willing to bend the rules like everyone else, or the cigars are tired of Sark and holding back, or everyone else has just caught up... I don't know.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Pretty sure they were saying the same thing about this year's class.. and last year's. There are elite OL every year in TX. Flood is either a terrible recruiter or we aren't keeping up with the market.

I hope we actually try to win our bowl game. 10 wins should be the floor for the program.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Strange. He took some time to adjust, but has been serviceable down the stretch. His last couple games in particular have been solid (yes I know Arky sucks). Unless they have someone lined up, seems like they'd want him back.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
Similar trajectory to Sark. OC under Carroll, got a big job early on, left for USC and flamed out, and has rebuilt his reputation the last few years. I guess he was the top candidate this cycle, but highest paid coach in the country? Nah.

Compare Texas and OSU's conference schedules. OSU can do whatever they want, but don't act like it's apples to apples.

My take after today's results: We obviously aren't getting in. Should we? Yes. Is it egregious? No. The committee has told us all season what matters. Wins/losses trumps all. Can't really blame them; it's human nature. Now win the bowl game and schedule accordingly going forward.
