Arkansas (14th), Texas A&M (15th), & Texas (17th) are (3) of the most penalized programs in the country in 2025.  

So the refs hate the Southwest Conference..

2:30 kick on ABC

Arkansas is terrible, we should beat them convincingly which means we won't because we can't beat anyone convincingly right now. This will be another struggle where another sub .500 team finds a way to have their best game of the season. Arkansas gave up 235 rushing yard to LSU yesterday, 230 to Auburn, 217 to aggy, 264 to Tennessee, I could keep going but maybe we could try running the ball against them? Silly notion by me but maybe that could help make beating them a little easier. 

Arkansas has lost one game this year by more than 1 score. A blowout I do not expect.

Probably correct, but never underestimate the tendency of recency bias when it comes to playoff committee’s.  A win, especially a convincing win over the undefeated Aggies w/ a national Thanksgiving weekend audience fairly or unfairly does present opportunity

That was exactly correct, until Bama/OU.  We all knew 2-1 prior to UGA game would give us a shot.  However we needed Bama to beat OU.  OU will likely win out now (LSU and Mizzou) and SEC isnt getting 6 in : TAMU, UGA, Bama, OU and Ole Miss are in.  Texas even if we beat TAMU is outside.  Bama fucked us unless OU were to slip up unfortunately.

Could always get a Bama loss to Auburn. Vandy could also be an issue if they win @Tenn. And of course OU could lose with how inconsistent their offense is. Not likely to occur mind you. But chaos can happen. Team needs to keep fighting.

Very true, the committee seems to like us.  Yes we need chaos.  I hadnt thought of a Bama loss, it could happen, 3 loss Bama and 3 loss Texas would be interesting debate and the recency bias someone mentioned would certainly be in play.  Our W over OU and Vandy would loom large.  Ark is the focus, get the W there and lets see what happens.  I recall years ago watching OU lose to OSU and that put us in.

3 loss Bama would be left out. We played a better preseason opponent in OSU and will have just won and they will have just lost.

I really don't give a shit about making the CFP.  After a game like that one last night IN November it is clear we don't have a team that is winning 4 straight games against the best in the country, so who gives a shit.  Who remembers who all was in the NFL playoffs in 2023?  

And look, I get it if you are a Tech, who has never sniffed a conference champ game, much less an outright conference title, or an SMU last year, etc etc making the CFP and getting bounced IS a big deal. If you are a program with the expectations of Texas making the CFP this year, with our inconsistent as fuck squad is a pointless endeavour.

Or they’d value Bama’s road win over Georgia more than our neutral site win over OU………who knows?…..

Yep. Also, I have zero confidence in any Sark coached team ever putting together 3 or 4 straight good games. ‘23 was our best chance with this guy because it was a 2 game playoff.

There is less than zero chance anyone with a brain is going to consider a three loss Texas for the playoffs. I’m not sure why that is such a struggle for many to understand even if we lost by one point last night we weren’t getting in the were  Texas holds absolutely zero value we’re a joke. We’ve been a punch line for two decades, and we’re gonna continue to be at this rate. There might be one team in the college playoffs that we could probably beat and that’s OU and maybe the G5 applicant but I wouldn’t even pencil that yet we would probably overlook them and get embarrassed.

Kentucky was bad against the run, too. Against every team but one.
