  1. Here is the irony of the CFP. The ACC being comically weak has exposed the format, but the Committee will likely put 2 teams that essentially have ACC schedules in the playoffs (ND, Miami).
  2. Vasek usually looks good when he is on the field, but the best ability is availability, and he is perma-hurt.
  3. I think it was IT that said there may be more coaching turnover than expected. Could have been OnTexas, but it was one of them.
  4. He is your typical big Qb with a huge arm. Best HS year was 63% comp, 22 Tds, and 9 ints. He was never very accurrate or showed good decision making.
  5. He is not a plus athlete. I can probably guess why you are saying that, but it is not from watching him play.
  6. There will always be arguments about the last team, but the arguments have much less meaning as you expand the playoffs. It was a massive deal when it was #2 vs #3 (call it 40%-50% chance to a NC vs 0%). You get to 24 and it is something like 2% vs 0%
  7. There is nothing wrong with 12 personnel inherently, but the key for this formation is having TE versatility. You really want guys that can block and run routes. Texas has continually had issues with blocking from the TEs. That limits the effectiveness of the formation.
  8. lot of air on that pass (unusual), so Arch gave him the time to adjust. Cannot fault a throw after he is flushed and sprinting out of the pocket. Goes to his ability to move in the pocket, keep his eyes up, and continue reading the field. Most QBs would have kept it and got 5-8 yards on the run.
  9. I wasnt complicating anything. I just said get rid of any guaranteed spots. That seems pretty simple to me, just end the athletic DEI nonsense
  10. College football is a bit different than other sports. Most sports have conferences where every team play each other and, in many cases, it is a home and home. In that world the conference championship is decided on the field. There is a lot more luck and nuance in CFB
  11. I think we all saw the warts in the terrible roster management this season, so this should be obvious. Easy examples are the OL and RB room. I said in another thread that Texas missing the playoffs might be best for the future of Sark and Texas. If Texas got into the playoffs Sark could ignore the issues and say he and his staff did a good job. Missing the playoffs should make him re-evaluate the entire program. I would be more worried if @closetojumping said he thought 5-8 would be the number. That would mean Sark is sitting pat and did not see the issues that many of us saw.
  12. On the face of it that makes 100% sense, but there is also a major drawback. This is going to eliminate championship quality teams in the big 10 and SEC and elevate teams like ND and the other P4 conferences. Why should the SEC have a playoff, while ND sits back with a bowl of popcorn and watches? Perhaps the simplest answer is that there should be no automatic bids for conferences champions. Given the unbalanced schedules we cannot even guarantee the 2 best teams will play for the conference championship (this year the committee says 50% of the P4 will match the 2 best teams in the conference). This is not like 20-30 years ago when everyone played each other. We have diluted conference championships.
  13. the majority of that is probably good attrition. The question will be how many guys Texas will lose that the staff wants to keep. There will be some, but you hope it is a small number
  14. Wisner has exceptional vision and patience, its why he runs OZ well. He lacks elite physical traits. The fact that he did not even start on his HS team as a senior is evidence of that. He is solid football player and would be a very good 3rd down RB with a spot in the rotation. I would love him to be on the roster next year but he should not be the lead back at a place like Texas.
  15. i think you budget is a little light if you want to attract teams.
  16. People who do that are not taken very seriously, but there is also a reason for it. There are very few data pts between conferences. Texas has played Georgia more than A&M has and that is within the SEC. Imagine how bad it is between the SEC and other conferences. Only way to increase the inter-conference games is if the P4 made a scheduling mandate between all 4. I would love that to happen, but I highly doubt that will ever happen
  17. The problem for Texas is the argument is about 12 games, SOS, and quality wins. You have to take a comprehensive look at their resume. Sports is not good at that in general. People want to latch on to something like worst loss (Florida) or best (win). That is what gains traction on social media. Texas beats Florida that are in. Texas gets an easy W by swapping out the OSU game, they are in. Beats Georgia, Texas is in. All 3 of those statements are correct, but people will hang on to the Florida loss because that is what they heard from the media. There is no use arguing. They are going to continue to repeat, what they have been told.
  18. I think we all thought Texas had reached that Bama/Georgia level, where you just reload. We saw some holes in development and roster management. Hoping that gets sorted out this offseason.
  19. Wingo just has inconsistent hands; there is no need for a qualifier. He does not run great routes. Right now, he is an athlete playing WR. He has 1st round potential, but he is not close to that ceiling in the current iteration.
  20. Remember this play. One of the best plays I have seen from a QB. He also layered that in, which is something he needs to work on. He can play in a dirty pocket. He can get through his reads. That is something most draft eligible QBs do not have a ton a film displaying. Hopefully, we get to see what he looks like behind an OL that can give him clean pockets.
  21. Texas missed the playoffs in the offseason. Lots of evals missed. Texas did not address them int he portal. This might be a good thing for Sark and Texas. Getting left out might light a fire under his ass and he will re-evaluate the staff and this past year. Make the playoffs and the lessons from this season might be ignored.
  22. i think Arch has shown more than most QBs in this season. I think one of the scarier things for his development is the possibility of playing behind another OL like this. He is really good at moving in the pocket. He will stand in and take hits, but I also see him throw a couple fade away jumpers every game now. That is scar tissue building up behind a bad OL. You dont want that getting to a point where it becomes a habit.
  23. based on the silly inclusion rules they have in this format, if you want the top 12 teams you need to go to 16.
  24. Townsend isnt the best blocker but he at least has shown a willingness be physical. He has been a useful puller. Shannon graded really well vs A&M. I do agree with you that in general the biggest issue in 12 personnel is TE blocking. Inviting everyone in the box with TEs that struggle to block and an OL that struggles to pick up stunts i snot a recipe for success
  25. that is the real issue. Even if you had SEC vs Big 10 weekends like basketball, you still would not have enough data pts for proper modeling. We cannot even get enough games within a conference to get fair comparisons between teams.
