  1. sorry that happened, congrats though.
  2. Fair enough, but they are an upgrade over Kansas or whatever cellar dweller we would be playing in the big 12.
  3. this is the ONLY reason why I supported moving to the SEC. you add another season within the season - record against rivals. when we had only one, football was less enjoyable.
  4. please pretty please, please please please pick this one up message board geniuses....
  5. might be the greatest troll job ever. I miss him so much.
  6. You have accused me (directly or indirectly) of being this guy several times (and are doing it again here by this account created "two days" from whatever which you used on the fitness thread because apparently I showed up around then). I would suffer involuntarily micro vomiting in my mouth on a regular basis if I was him. Plus I cuss like a drunken sailor on shore leave, so there's no way this son of a bitch is a Deacon in a stuffy Houston (is it) church, Frank Derbin or Johnny Sack or whatever the fuck his other handles were. I'm sure immamac could IP test and confirm if you are still so convinced.
  7. outside the top 30 just doesn't matter. 20-30 is shit, 1-10 is good, 11-19 is mid. we could quibble over these splits but you get the idea. I don't really care what Rice, San Jose State, Washington State, or any other worse than shit program is doing.
  8. interesting …. based on CFP rankings compared to the old BCS models…
  9. we sucked most weeks you're leaving that out and that's a huge factor here. Frankly I think it's the biggest factor, Texas has looked like utter dog shit for most of the season. surviving one bad game no biggie. sucking in 8 out of 11 games matters. getting your ass fucking handed to you on what was probably the biggest SEC weekend of the year (Texas/UGA and OU/Bama) really matters. you all act like Texas is the best two loss team out there in this no tOSU scenario. that's just not fucking true, or it's at least legitimately arguable. we are a mid team this year, we've played like it and we are being treated like it. and any argument that but for tOSU this is a top 10 team is just odd. there's no room for that Texas team in the top 10 right now.
  10. you left out quality of wins, quality of losses, the whole schedule, scores in the big wins and losses, etc. look at the top 10 again. there's no room for Texas right now even with 2 losses.
  11. OU is a commitee and media darling, no way we stay above them after 35-10 and 23-21. no fucking way, we've seen it WAY too many times. fuck it, my tee time is in an hour and a half. y'all fix what's wrong with the CFP please. thank you.
  12. 23-21 OU over Bama and 35-10 Georgia over Texas. same week. both OU and Bama are ahead of us in a 2 loss scenario because of those two scores right there.
  13. I just showed you two loss Texas team still has no room in the top 10. it's the entire resume without the tOSU loss that sucks man. it just fucking does.
  14. 1 Ohio State (1) 2 Indiana (2) 3 Texas A&M (3) 4 Georgia (4) 5 Texas Tech (5) 6 Ole Miss (6) 7 Oregon (7) 8 Oklahoma (8) 9 Notre Dame (9) 10 Alabama (10) from another thread, the top 10 of the rankings which are all that matter because the ACC and the top also-ran conf champion rounds out 11 and 12. Texas might be ahead of Alabama in this alt world we are creating but that's a big might because their drop was the same week we got shellacked by Georgia. Texas is behind the rest, including OU because the same day we got butt fucked by Kirby, OU went on the road and beat Bama.
  15. I'm not, I think Texas is probably in but it's not guaranteed. I've said that now 3 times. But this idea that it's open and shut but for tOSU just isn't true. You look at Texas as a two loss team, it's not clearly in ahead of the other two loss teams except in the minds of many Texas fans. you can argue with me but Florida and Georgia losses are fucking awful. The OU and A&M wins are (would be) great but the rest of the resume is utter dog shit. that dog shit is as much the problem as the losses. Look, if Texas played within a touchdown of Georgia and even played Florida well and then beat UK and Miss St like we should have then yes, that 10-2 Texas team is the best 2 loss team. But that's not what happened. and I'll put it out there, I don't think the committee is really focused on the 3 losses or tOSU, I think they are focused on Texas has worse losses and worse wins in combination than it's marquee wins. standings not rankings.
  16. y'all really can't see how fucking bad the Florida and Georgia losses are combined with some hideous wins that are counting as near losses in the committee war room. I'll concede probably but after 35-10, it would not be guaranteed.
  17. that's a nonsense hypothetical. we have our schedule. we are not getting in 9-3. at 10-2 with a win over Rice instead of a lost to tOSU and the exact same schedule we have and the exact same results I'd say we are probably in, but for the love of christ, it would be a beauty contest and here's the good and bad with Texas: 1. Terrible loss - Florida 2. A+ win - OU 3. Bad loss - Georgia 4. A+ win - A&M 5. Good win - Vandy 6. Terrible wins - UK (OT) / Miss St (OT) 7. The rest is unimpressive shit. 8. 5th at best in the SEC. This would be a 10-2 team (assuming we beat A&M) that's a hair from 8-4 and the committee sees it. And yeah, with that resume, probably in but not guaranteed.
  18. If you think being capable of beating Utah is a ringing endorsement don’t know what to tell you. My answer was I don’t know. y’all are convinced but for the mere focus on the loss column this team belongs in the playoffs. That’s just biased fan talk. This team even with a win Friday is just an okay team and subject to the committee’s consideration of other okay teams to take up the last at large spot. I just don’t see a 5th or 6th SEC team getting in. Focusing only on the good wins sure, but there are really bad losses and really bad wins that go with it too. but keep telling yourself we should be in, it’s all fine. We clearly won’t come to a consensus here.
  19. No assumption of that at all, i’m saying there is a traffic jam of just okay teams and Texas is in the middle of that based on the whole resume. Win or lose Friday, we are the sixth best SEC team. That’s not a play off resume even if we’d finish in the top 3 of the Big 12.
  20. At least two losses - at tech and probably at Utah and that’s without considering the rest of them. Look this team isn’t good. It’s an okay team. Okay teams lose.
  21. That hypothetical isn’t really relevant. But no I think they wouldn’t have a better record than Texas because I think Utah, BYU, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Miami, ND, and Texas are all mediocre top 15 type teams. That’s exactly the problem.
  22. You’re looking at it all wrong. Adults are starving for laughs, did you know we need to laugh to live longer? Kids laugh more than adults by an exponential factor. We need them, for the good laughs on a restful holiday week.
  23. Look at the rest of our resume. I didn’t say we couldn’t I said I don’t know. You really think this team is a lock against those teams I mentioned? That’s laughable. This Texas team is talented but plays with its food especially on the road. I actually like our chances Friday because Aggies fuck up their good fortune and we are decent at home. But this isn’t a good team. I watch the games and Texas is as mid as they come.
