  1. We disagree here, because now the committee is in a bind.. Usually a committee will take the path of least resistance. In that case the committee could come out and talk about SOS, which would heavily favor Bama and Texas. If the committee puts in Oregon in this scenario, they have to decide between Texas and Bama. Putting Bama in over Texas and ignoring a head to head (on the road) would be one of the most controversial decisions ever. Leaving the SEC out, would be unprecedented. The least controversial would be to say "screw it, lets go with resume and leave Oregon out"
  2. Committee chair only talked about Bo Nix and his 78% completion, when confronted with Texas having a better resume (better win, SOS, and same opponent performance), only to say FSU is more the than their QB 2 minutes later. Hard to say WTF they are looking at
  3. I think Oregon's greatest risk of missing the playoffs is in the 2 spots for 3 teams. That is where Bama/SEC and Head/head comes to play.. Texas needs Bama to win, to have any chance of passing Oregon.
  4. Iowa 1st half pts is even money at 0.5 pts, so I dont have much faith in Iowa winning
  5. that is true.. It is harder for Texas to just straight out jump Oregon for 1 spot. I think the playoff committee rankings reflect what they think/hope will happen. A Bama win would certainly increase the Texas resume. I know the committee has not followed resume to date, but they are now starting to get heat about that from various spots.. Texas needs to win. An impressive win would also seriously help. Back to Back 50 pt wins would put the committee in a bind. We shall see how it plays out
  6. Vegas is a collection of models and dudes named Vinny,. the others are using just their model to calculate playoff chances.
  7. The only chance that Texas jumps Oregon is in the 2 spots for 3 teams scenario.. Bama wins, Texas, Michigan Wins, and FSU wins. Now the committee is screwed. Leave out the SEC champ? Put Bama in, but ignore Head to Head and leave Texas out? I think they put Texas and Bama in over Oregon in that scenario, but that is a guess.
  8. I saw Louisville moneyline is +115.. There is some vig in that, so call it 45% chance to win the game.
  9. Very interested in seeing the grades on teh 2nd team OL. They looked really good based on the initial viewing.

    PFF Thread

    @linux Hate to be a pain in the ass, but would appreciate you posting the PFF grades for Tech.. I am very curious to see the grades on the 2nd team OL. Initially viewing had me excited about the future.. Thanks in advance
  11. Wait. .Are you saying you were right? Sam is on the Colts roster has started games in the NFL.. To most that would make him an NFL QB.
  12. I have not looked at the conference records in depth, but I think a lot of the love for the Pac 10 as a conference is based on early season wins over Florida and TCU.. At the time those were considered statements. Today we know TCU and Florida is not going anywhere. I would guess the computers are giving Big 12 some credit for their game play vs Oregon (tech) and Utah (Baylor),
  13. I think as we get closer to the draft, people are looking more in-depth at how Sanders looks when he does not have the ball. Like any player their draft stock can move wildly between now and the draft.
  14. Being drafted is the biggest key, but havigng 5 stars leaving early regularly to be high draft picks is what gets recruits going. It is what Bama and Georgia get to talk about, that Texas can not.. Like I said if Quinn goes in the 1st round this year, it most likely means Texas won the Big 12 and played very well in the playoffs (likely 2 games).. Sign me up for that scenario
  15. As much as I want to keep as talent for next year, nothing is better for the program than guys leaving early and being high draft picks.
  16. I want to see Arch start next year.. I want Quinn to go in the 1st round.. The only way that happens is if Quinn goes off vs OSU and in the playoffs.
  17. Quinn could go off and definitely be gone.. I dont think Brooks has a chance.. latest RB mock I saw has him as the 9th RB on the board. Going right after Donovan Edwards. https://www.drafttek.com/2024-NFL-Draft-Position-Rankings/Top-College-RBs-2024-NFL-Draft.asp
  18. I just said I would swap it right now. Both those guys are studs. They have a better RB room than Texas, since day one
  19. It’s always an opinion. If I could trade rooms with PSU I would do it immediately, since both of those guys are back next year. I don’t think Texas has a proven RB after Brooks went down and he has never made it through a season healthy. PSU has Drew Allan at QB.. That is like tying a tire around a RB and asking him to run. Texas RBs don’t see a lot of stacked boxes like PSU does. DC don’t come in to play Texas focusing on stopping the run. Sarks own words “Texas throws to open up the run”. Texas is a pass first team. Michigan and PSU are the exact opposite. PSU is very similar to what Texas was last year. 2 great RBs and a talented, but erratic QB.
  20. Red got into an ugly habit of cutting everything back out of the Wildcat. He been playing RB in college for 5 months. I don’t think there is a lot of versatility at this point. I do think Baxter will be the answer next year. Mostly because Texas hasn’t developed a power back. Blue and Keilan are explosive, but they are not great between the tackles. Baring the OL kicking the shit out of Tech.
  21. They are statistically better, but UCF and WVu have decent argument in the Big 12 if statistics are all we look at.
  22. It’s a good group, but it’s not the best RB room in the country. There isn’t a guy to get you 3rd and 1 in the group (yet, eventually Baxter gets there). There is a reason Texas struggles in short yardage situations. Keilan and Blue are redundant. Baxter and Red need some time to bake. In Baxter’s case he may just need get healthy, which he hasn’t been all year.
  23. That is fine. Corum and Edwards > Brooks and Baxter Allen and Singelton > Brooks and Baxter I like Baxter, but he is just a true freshmen and been banged up all year. You have to look at the top 2, not just the #1 RB
