  1. its still early. If more and more people come out over this week, you can be more hopeful. I am not close to saying Texas is in.
  2. this is exactly what I was mentioning earlier in the thread. Pay attention to how the bobbleheads in media start framing the playoff discussion. This is good for Texas.
  3. They are 130+ programs. Everyone has had to deal with this at some point. This is not just for head coaches, but coordinators. You would also have to look at portal periods and signing periods. Its kind of a mess. Nobody has thought through the system, but that is a much bigger issue not related to this thread.
  4. I did not say it was the job of the committee. I think most people had the ability to understand that enforcement comes from conferences and the NCAA. Perhaps I should have explicitly stated that for you and BOW.
  5. Conferences and the NCAA. This is pretty simple idea that I think most people see as an issue. Unfortunately, nothing gets fixed in college sports until there is a major controversy
  6. This is the difference between coaches that maximize talent and those that do not. 5 stars are generally good in any system. To get the most out of your recruiting the bottom half of your class needs to fit into the system to maximize them.
  7. it is their job to police NCAA sports, so I do not understand your point.
  8. I feel like leaving Ole Miss out would also be good for CFB. That would make the powers that be really look into this situation. CFB needs to look to the NFL for guidance. I would love to see coaches off limits during the season. Saban went off on this topic recently.
  9. I am going to be listening for a change of tune in the media. I remember the FSU situation. One day everyone was putting FSU in the playoffs, then all of sudden ESPN sent out the memo that losing the QB matter, and the media flipped.
  10. This has been a complaint of mine about this staff. Pick a run that you want to major in and develop around that. Texas has been an outside zone team, which requires athletic OL to be at its best. "Large humans" do not necessarily fit that style. I think our approach to the run game is a bit of grab bag of concepts and they eventually whittle it down to something around the 4th-5th game. Sark is an inside zone guy, but they have never been particularly good at it. That makes recruiting a bit more boom or bust, because you are not focused on a particular type of OL. That also bleeds into RB recruiting. Very few Rbs and OL are good in every type of run game (gap, IZ, OZ), the ones that tend to end up as Pro Bowl players.
  11. you lost me at "wins at Arkansas and VT". You are trying too hard. I guess that means Texas fans should be over the moon about the win at MSU. This is just intellectually dishonest.
  12. Not to nick pick here, but here is what people are missing. The rankings do not assume the CCG are 1 and 2. Bama is currently the 4th ranked SEC team according to the committee (that could change tonight), they finished #1 in the SEc standings. Virginia and Duke are in the ACC championship game and neither are the top ranked ACC team by the committee. The committee is pretty clear on the fact they do not believe the CCG always has the top 2 conference teams. If Duke wins the ACC, they will not be in the playoffs. This idea that the committee views CCG participants as sacred is nonsense
  13. thank you. Literally, nothing he said was accurate.
  14. I am fine with that, but that also highlights the unbalanced schedules in major conferences. That is ignored when people say conference championship games shouldn’t not matter for the playoffs.
  15. Yes, resumes changed after the conference championship game. That is what I have been saying, glad you agree currently the committee does not have Bama as the #2 SEC team
  16. WHy? Bama's SEC opponents had a 32-32 record this year and Texas opponents were 35-29. OU was 35-29. Alabama benefitted from an easier SEC schedule. It is not like all SEC teams play the same SEC schedule. I know it is crazy to think that you should look at every game a team plays. Again, the committee has Bama as the last team in currently. (used AI for these, so apologize if anything is off, but you get the pt.)
  17. that is my point. I should have also pointed out that Bama is at #10. They are in by the skin of their teeth right now. It is not like the committee ranked them like they are a lock for the playoffs and I cannot imagine the committee moving them up based on the Auburn performance. That said if they put A&M behind Bama tonight, the single digit chance for Texas is dead.
  18. Keep in mind Bama is sitting at #10, so slight movement could put them at 12 or 13 and out of the playoffs (assumes they dont move much tonight). My point is if Bama comes out and looks horrible, it should matter. You cannot pretend the game did not happen. It probably means Bama passing game struggled the last 2 games and that would and should raise questions. If Bama comes out and loses 56-0 and you put Bama in the playoffs, that hurts Conference Championship games also. It is a double-edged sword. Again, the only way I think Bama gets kicked out is if they have a terrible performance. I think that is a reasonable position. Texas moved down because of the game last year, so the precedent is the game matters. Anyone saying that there is no negative ramifications playing in the game has not watched these committees the last decade. I think we may get some insight with how far they move A&M down.
  19. please explain this. Georgia moved up last year beating Texas in a conference championship game. They jumped Texas, so Texas moved down and Georgia moved up. That is clear evidence that CC games do count. If Bama loses in a tight game, it does not matter. If Georgia boat races them, it is a different situation. Then there is the injury situation that could be an issue, which we have seen. I do not think Texas is getting in. I think it is a single digit chance, but the idea that CCG do not matter is incorrect
  20. Arch certainly changed the way defenses played Texas. The coaches did not realize how poor this OL was, impossible for fans to have guessed it would be this bad.
  21. OSU is the easiest place to play QB in the country. They generally roll out 3 1st round WRs every year. Trying to compare an OSU QB to anywhere else is tough. What does Sayin look like behind a poor OL, no run game, and 0 1st round WRs? I do not know, but I know he would not look as good.
  22. Just for the record you are saying NFL drafted guys are the same as this year's group. ASk 99% that watched the last 2 seasons which OL they think is better and they will say 2024. You are the other 1%
  23. I think people need to stop pretending that anything the committee does in 2025 will set a precedent. Losing in title game should matter. You get your doors blown off and your QB loses a leg, it matters. This is a beauty competition, so there will always be subjectivity. Today's precedent might get violated tomorrow. If a CC game can help you, it should also be able to hurt you.
  24. I think Bama needs to get their door blown off for Texas to have a chance. That said the only other way is if you here the committee chair says SOS and OOC scheduling about 20 times on the ESPN show, which I think has about a 1% chance of happening
  25. That is not true. These committees tend to pick on or the other based on their selection. The issue with the committees is they constantly change the parameters. They even do it during the season. How many dramatic changes have we seen from the committee from the penultimate ranking to the final over the years. Just my opinion, but I think a team's ceiling is more important than their floor in the playoffs.
