S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
That’s a lot of words. I wouldn’t touch the 6.9 wins and don’t think anyone but aggy thinks it’s a remotely accurate prediction. That’s absurd and shows a significant flaw in his model (as you explained). Bill is getting quite defensive about the issue. It’s going to be fun reminding him of his posturing throughout the season.

Texas Agricultural & Mechanical University vs. Texas State (7:30 SEC Network)
Probably because tx state returned most of its defense. Obviously a great gauge of expected performance. Clemson lost a lot to the NFL on defense, so I fully expect Mond and co to tear them up next week.

S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27461638/college-football-conference-previews-storylines-using-sp+ Yes, Texas is 31st. FPI has the Longhorns just 26th, too. Tom Herman's propensity for overachieving in big games but underachieving in the smaller ones leaves his teams ripe for upsets and forever drags them down from a numbers perspective. Texas fans have spent the offseason yelling things like "Yeah, we only beat Tulsa by a touchdown, but we physically dominated them! We were never threatened!" That's great. Clemson and Alabama would have beaten Tulsa by 48 without turning to the second page of the playbook. To look like title contenders, Texas has to treat every game like a Big Game, not just two or three.

Louisiana Tech @ Texas 7 PM 8/31 on LHN
Not really what was said...I don’t watch LHN (or other cable tv channels) outside of football. It’d be a better value proposition for me if I watched more tv.

This was meant to be a PSA for posts like the one above (geographic restrictions), but maybe some of us don’t have “systems” that we can add “sports” packages to. Further, it’s simply not rational to buy a tv package with a sports package for 2 games when you don’t expect to use the service for anything else.

I can write one too. Texas lost several starters from last year’s team, but the talent replacing them is better. Prediction: Better

Not really sure how we all missed that one. I was thinking it’d be Whittington that would rip off a 60 yd td on 10/12, but this makes much more sense.
