  1. ND is already ahead in the rankings that won’t change even if I agree, the point is BYU and Bama are out (imo) and Texas will be 11 so they can say their bullshit. I don’t mind the big games but fuck Notre Dame, cancel those and never play them voluntarily again.
  2. Talked Vandy right after that and moved to his real point how great the SEC is - the Mouse’s main agenda, SECx3.
  3. Texas will be first one out you watch. ND 9, Miami 10, Texas 11, Alabama 12. see we didn’t punish Texas.
  4. Vandegrift beat Dripping Springs
  5. Thank you. I don’t know much about the other side or the bracket Allen and Duncanville forget the other two. LT seems to start slow, but by then end of the game it’s a total sack fest on defense.
  6. No way I would cheer for a player to get hurt and it’s already over. Time to move on guys it’s a gorgeous day, get outside and live a little.
  7. 50/50 is choice. You get the best of both worlds, including time to run a tailgate party.
  8. Ok got it he’s the anti AI so what’s up with the other three teams? Particularly North Shore, real intel is hard to find on the webs.
  9. So tell me about North Shore legit, also other side is Allen and Duncanville, Duncanville has a legit good WR with like 40 offers. What does the final four in 6A look like for those of you that really pay attention to THSFB?
  10. That was an incredible play. They still had all kinds of pressure on the QB. Play before nearly got the safety. Skill players for Johnson were superior to LT though. In the end they couldn’t get the ball to them in space it just took too much time. Felt oddly familiar.
  11. First two TDs were a 99 yard pass and a QB run for like 80. By the second quarter the SAJ Oline was cooked. Once LT got disciplined on the rush it was over. The Dline is so good clearly the strength of the team. LT offense needs to stop fucking around if they want to win the next two. Not sure they can.

    Not a Tesla

    I just bought a Mach-e for a teenager, arrives next week. It’ll be our third EV. Not a Tesla thread but this week we had a 2026 model S with full self driving and I’m sorry but that shit is amazing. There is nothing like that out there in except Waymo. Drove it to San Marcos and back today, back roads there and I-35 back and it was money. Superb experience.
  13. Nah 20% is pretty good. But it’s mountain chalets now not the beach, global warming and all.
  14. LT Dline is dominant. That Buck kid is a man among boys. They Probably had 8 sacks, SAJ’s QB is mobile or it would have been 11-12 sacks. LT played with their food on offense, combined turnovers was probably 5 or 6 not counting two botched punts and some blocked PATs. Sloppy game. SAJ jumped out 13-0. LT v North Shore should be legit.
  15. We own tangible precious metals (by mass probably 20x more in silver than gold) and they secure a line of credit right now. So we have them in a depository institution that holds metals beyond what a standard safety deposit box can hold at a bank. Not sure who would walk around with it all that don’t make no sense.
  16. 16 teams top 5 rated conf champs get an auto bid but they must be top 25 or it opens an at large bid. that leaves at least 11 open. the 11 open spots are at large though if auto-bids are given, they need to be based on conference standings, not human selection. I lean to at large bids but the selection criteria is all kinds of jacked up and needs to be fixed. something has to happen with schedule parity, I think the sport wants marquee match ups and for this purpose yes that means Texas and Notre Dame, but it also means (this year) Tech and BYU playing Oregon or Tennessee, etc., etc. So to incentivize better scheduling there needs to be a way to rank teams based on schedule difficulty. I think rankings against top 16 teams should be weighted heavily and frankly maybe the most important factor. how you win should be ignored, how you lose should be ignored, and record should only be relevant to differentiate within a set of parameters focusing on how you performed against the play off teams. With 16 teams, everyone in the playoffs will have at least 1 game against play off caliber teams, and frankly if OCC scheduling does what it should with this approach, every contender should have at least 2 if not more. then schedule parity is less of an issue as record against top competition becomes paramount. What to do with conference championship games - I like them, that has to be solved for. Gruden's idea is interesting, maybe the round of 16 is conf championships and a play in for the round of 8 and you reseed at the round of 8. dunno, but being penalized with a game for the conf championship is odd.
  17. It’s not a secret OU and A&M produced the best critical moments in the run game and best over all performance for Tre. Both teams are ultra aggressive and that leads to running lanes if you can escape initial pressure. Teams employing more sound gap control techniques did better. but yes he has to figure out the run game because it’s only then that his offense becomes truly lethal and the tag “offensive genius” applies.
  18. First paragraph makes my point a shitty loss and only two losses is forgivable. Look the deal is straight up records not best teams, so plan accordingly. second paragraph, no doubt that’s a huge problem, but one could be a top 5 program with that record. Reality is on the most important metric, record against playoff caliber teams Texas is top 6 this year. as for that record against day and Kirby, add Deboer, thats sark’s demon to slay. Coin flip odds he will.
  19. Schedule parity is the biggest problem in a playoff system. That’s a fucking joke of a schedule.
  20. Make the same one for Alabama and FSU… don’t quite work that way, now does it? Can’t change your conference schedule can only change your OCC, schedule for a total of a maximum of two potential losses or you’re being really stupid.
  21. I can’t keep up. Not trying to make shit up, if we can all agree on appropriate auto bids based on conference standings then fucking A let’s get going.
  22. It’s effectively a modified 16 team (plus or minus) play off with the CCGs incorporated into the first round schedule and a reseed after first round based on wins and conference champions. It’s pretty cool. And frankly looking at the teams included it solves every problem including the conference championship game problem. Though I bet rematches ain’t what most would want. Texas OU in Minnesota? No thanks. Texas Miami or Texas ND etc etc makes more sense to me.
  23. Damn I was planning on coming next year.
  24. Without schedule parity that’s pretty hard. Bids based on conference standings makes a ton of sense until you look at schedule parity. SEC won’t agree to 2 auto bids for ACC and Big 12 and those shit conferences won’t agree to 4+ autos for SEC. the real problem is you probably have to go 16 deep before the Big 12 has a legit argument for 2 and in that case the SEC is at 6. schedule parity is how the NFL gets to auto bids across the board. Humans schedule the season and the results schedule the post season. CFB is so far away from schedule parity it’s impossible to have a legit post season selection.
  25. you're 100% correct, I'm trying to get there. I just see what was wasted and it irritates the fuck out of me.
