Texas needs to be close to the top 10 like asap to be in position to jump teams if they struggle. You can scratch us off that list. ND is 100% in the playoff at 12-0 and 98% out at 11-1. The only good team remaining on our schedule is Cincinnati.
September 28, 20214 yr 12 hours ago, Had Enough said: Ulatoski got called for the only hold, which was modest if anything. It took away a first down or very near. Pick 6 next play. Now versus OU, Tres Way flopped twice. Both bogus. Gave them the ball back. Equivalent to two turnovers. Yes, we got two cheap late hits on Colt, but one resulted in a 1st down before the penalty. The other gave us a first down, but it was not 4th down anyway so we had another play. And I think one of those drives ended in a field goal after the “almost” OU INT. But that dude blatantly held the TE so it should have been 1st instead of 4th anyway. Not to mention the bs OU holding. So here’s another question. How much would it have taken for us to get the nod over OU? Did we need to win by 17? 24? There is a number there that would have made a difference. your memory is better than mine, was that the game where fuck Austin English pretended to not hear the whistle and got a free hit against Colt? And the refs accepted that excuse?

Tech and Rice’s defenses are 85th and 106th, so our production is being discounted due to weak opponents, which just goes to show how unbelievably good our offense has been the last two games. We’ve rushed for over 760 yards in two games. I certainly didn’t expect to see that this year. This 3 game stretch of TCU, OU, and Ok State will tell us a lot about how whether our offense really is elite or if we’re just very good at beating up on shitty competition. A lot will depend on whether our OL can be just good enough against much better competition to let Thompson and our skill players do their thing.

October 3, 20214 yr Some pollsters are releasing their ballots this morning. I think we will be ranked, but it won’t be as high as some on this site want it to be. Probably looking at the 18-25 range Bohls has us 21 Brett McMurphy has us at 22

October 3, 20214 yr 20s is about right for a team that most pollsters should be skeptical about but deserve a ranking based on performance.

October 3, 20214 yr Rank us as low as possible or not at all. I want the “disrespect” card to play going into the RRS as much as we can.
October 3, 20214 yr If we beat TCU running away we might be higher, but that score against a team that just lost to smu isn't going to move you up much.Ranking this week means nothing. Beat ou and deservedly bump up, or lose and deservedly drop out. This week is what matters.
October 3, 20214 yr 9 top 25 teams lost which feels like a lot more than normal, but all of them were top 20 which does not give us at 26 a lot of room to move up. I'd guess we'll be 23. It does not help that Arkansas was revealed to be a fraud who might only get one more SEC West win this year.
October 3, 20214 yr Who do we jump? Aggy, Fresno, UCLA, and Baylor for sure. Kentucky is undefeated and will probably jump us. I'll guess #22.

I hope that the pollsters can find a way to keep 3-2 aggy at 25 so they can be ranked for their dismantling on Saturday. sad that we won’t even get any chest beating about best 3-3 team in the country and would beat half the top 25. They’ll be despondent.
October 3, 20214 yr Clemson should probably fall out. They already should have last week, but will be interesting if the pollsters pull the trigger. I'm guessing no.

A lot will depend on how it goes from here on out for Domer. They got taken to OT by a horrific FSU team, barely beat Toledo, beat Purdue (meh) and struggled with the worst Wisconsin team in two decades for 3 quarters before Wisconsin decided to give up a kick return and two pick 6s in the 4Q. The ACC is ass my dude but the Orange slices could beat them and never discount a very wounded USC from fucking around and winning. Plus like 5 teams have byes before they play Notre Dame. Not to mention these teams like Cincy always seem to fuck up somewhere along the way and now they will most certainly have a target on their back each week and they are not a program used to being the hunted.

I'm not even sure how much beating OU moves the needle with the ways they've found to struggle in their wins. Outside of 'Bama an Dawg it's a very muddy picture for the field.

And here’s my point about not being ranked last week and ranked very low this weekend sucking... when we beat OU we probably end up ranked very close to them- maybe even below them... and if you look at the body of evidence between the two teams this year there is nothing that should tell you they should be ranked anywhere near us.

True, but it is a win against a Top 10 P5 program on the road. Cincy should run the table and will be heavily favored in all of their remaining games. In the AAC, they've had a target on their back for a few years now and have dominated. They have a well regarded Coach that has made the program a consistent winner. They lost by a field goal to potential playoff participant Georgia in the 2020 Peach Bowl, their only loss on the year. If they do make it to the end unscathed, they will have the best argument for a G5 team since the onset of the playoff era. And they still won't get in unless there is total chaos in the P5. Expanded playoffs or same old same old.
October 3, 20214 yr Meanwhile Florida will be probably ranked above us still because they played Bama close, even though they lost convincingly to freaking Kentucky.
October 3, 20214 yr I think the biggest effect on our ranking is the big Arkansas loss. Too bad. Wanted Ark to somehow run the table.Arkansas will be fortunate to get past 7-5. Ultimately it won’t matter too much because Texas isn’t going to be in playoff contention but that’s only going to look worse over the course of the year.
