  1. 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.
  2. This OL was terrible and not even close to the 2024 unit. Arch makes this OL look passable. Quinn would have died behind this OL. I believe that Texas is in the playoffs, if Stroh/Brooks combo is not playing at Florida. That was an embarrassment and 100% on the coaches.
  3. it is a great idea, but it is not realistic. NCAA would never sanction Vegas to do this. Sports has to pretend Vegas is not a major part of their business.
  4. Texas was not extremely weak at Center and RG. Hell, the RG got drafted. He was one of the best pass blocking guards I have ever seen at Texas.
  5. The best way to do this is to ditch the committee and let Vegas pick the best 12 teams. They are 20x better than a bunch of retired coaches and ADs
  6. The truth is we have no evidence to say that Tech can play with teams like OSU or Georgia. SOS is interesting, but it is not going to tell you who is the best team. I always use UNLV NC hoop team as the example. Amazing team with NBA players all over it, but terrible SOS. They are a wildcard. 59th SOS is ugly.
  7. Tech would be out. Their SOS is terrible. That is not changing. They do not have a marquee win and they have a bad losses. They also lose the recognizable helmet debate favored by Disney
  8. It doesn’t always work like that, based on years of watching this shit it does not work like that. First it will depend on the type of game Bama plays. They lose in OT, they don’t go anywhere. They lose by 30-40 and their QB is lost for season, they are out. The committee will latch on to something this year to explain their picks. Some years it is best win, sometimes worst loss, the only hope for Texas is the committee head comes on and says OOC scheduling and SOS 40 times on the ESPN playoff show
  9. Tech has a terrible SOS. 59 by ESPN.. The Arizona State loss is a bad one. Big 12 will not get 2 in
  10. I think you are placing too much faith in this week’s rankings. Tech has a bad loss already and nobody respects the BYU win. It’s a pretty weak resume
  11. No.. I mean complete domination not a one score game in the 4Q that turns on an onside kick. Not a game box score watchers call dominant
  12. This is never really known. Committee tends to change its tune every year to validate their rankings. I don’t think Texas gets in, but the only path I see is Georgia blowing Bama out. It would have to be ugly
  13. Those games don’t matter. OSU and Indian are both in. Nothing will change that.. The Big 12 is getting 1 team in. Loser of the Tech/BYU game is out
  14. It seems pretty similar. The truth is the vast majority of teams have a couple shitty looking wins. We are more focused on the ones Texas had, because we are Texas fans. We hear Florida, but very little about FSU when Bama is brought up
  15. I am for as many meaningful college football games as possible. I don’t care about the records. Honestly, it seems odd to me that people would rather watch shitty bowl games with the majority of the star players sitting out instead of a loser goes home playoff game. Last year people did not think ND deserved to be in the playoffs, but they almost won the whole thing. We need more meaningful games, not less
  16. It’s an unnecessary risk vs poor run blocking team.
  17. The funny thing is A&M and OU are the only teams the Texas can run on. Both employ a lot of movement up front. Texas hit a bunch of runs where A&M stunted a guy out of the play-side gap. It’s why A&M gives up explosive runs. They are not always sound. Both teams rely on playing aggressive to get the TFL, so they can get to 3rd and long and their blitz packages. They end up creating creases for an OL that cannot line up and win on the LOS
  18. I think the defensive staff needs to unfuck themselves. The defensive players need to focus on just doing their job. Scary to say this in week 12, but they need to simplify defense and let the Texas athletes on defense play fast. The slow confused version the last 4-5 weeks is not going to get it done.
  19. Their defense is a mixed bag. They give up explosives but are great on 3rd down. 1. They can struggle vs the run. Give up explosives here. It is probably not pertinent, since Texas struggles to run the ball and is on of the least explosive rushing games in the country. Moveable object against the resistible force 2. They will give up explosives in the pass game. This is where Texas can make this a game 3. They are 2nd in the country in sacks. Texas cannot protect the QB. This is the Longhorn nightmare, especially if Sark is hyper-focused on #2. If he has a game plan like Florida where Arch's average depth of target approaches 20 yards, this could be a 6+ sack game for A&M. Texas needs to stay out of obvious pass situations where Elko can send his exotic blitzes vs an OL that reads stunts and blitzes about as well as Stevie Wonder.
  20. the chant does not matter; I just want to hear one coming from Longhorn fans as the gun sounds.
  21. Hearing the over-rated chant Friday night would make me very happy
  22. Got to mix it up. I think Reed is a 1 read QB. If you give him his 1st read and clean pictures, he will throw for 300+
  23. That is another issue. Texas does a lot of contain rushes vs mobile guys and even some immobile ones (see Florida game). YOu need guys to stay in their lane, though I may just tell Colin do his thing. He is one of those players that can get away with breaking rules.
