Again.  FSU is not a relevant comparison. At all. Jordan Travis was hurt at the end of the season and unavailable for the playoffs.   We're talking about missing a couple of games in October.   JFC.  

the point is 9-3 is a shit record, and not even in the conversation as a realistic option unless all time chaos breaks out across CFB

You guys better get into and out of the Swamp without key injured players.”before interring OU.  Weird shit happens in that place.  I have no doubt Bendables will play Mateer but he (Mateer) didn’t impress me that much vs a pretty solid Alldumb defense. Florida’s locker room may be on life support by Saturday, in any case. Hook ‘em anyway.

WTF are you even talking about.   There are solid odds a 9-3 SEC team will get in any given year.  Actually, thanks for further proving my point.  Because in a hypothetical world where Milroe gets hurt last year and they lose to either Vandy or OU WHILE their starting QB is injured, that would probably be enough of a justification for the committee to slot them ahead of SMU.  Hell they may have gotten the nod over SMU based solely on changes to the criteria this year.  It's kind of amazing to me how little people apparently understand or pay attention to the playoff process.

Last year the darlings of all cfb Alabama got left out in the cold at 9-3. Milroe missing a game wouldn't have mattered because he sucked donkey dick.

No other team other than Ohio State, ND , or Texas realistically has that sort of pull maybe if the rest of the 11 teams is a poor TV draw ww see a push but that's the only thing that would get the talking heads moving.

If the year was more chaotic they'd have made it in , if the year was less chaotic they'd have been even further down the ladder.

'23 Florida St says hello.

@thunderlounge, you suck at logic and analogies. 

Mateer will play again this month (even if he doesn't play against Texas), and will be available for the playoffs if OU makes them. OU losing a game to a top 25 team in a neutral site without their starting QB would be hand waived away if needed. 

Jordan Travis literally never played football again after his injury. He was drafted, but never played a down in the NFL and medically retired in April of this year. FSU without him was a different team (see the ACC champ game), and wouldn't have been competitive in the playoffs.

Man, y’all just can’t get over some light ribbing, huh?

 

Fuck mateer, hawkins, vegetables, all of em. Fuck OU.

My point with any of that was not whether the little shitbird plays in October or not. Nothing to that. However, with 9-10 weeks or so to go, nobody knows what the committee is going to do. And for some to sit here and fret about shit that OU might do? Well, fuck that. Let’s see what  direction they head before anointing them a playoff spot.

Why?

You realize Bama was 100% in last year at 9-3 with an SMU win over Clemson in the ACC championship right? But if you play out the exact same scenario as last year only adding the SOS additional criteria approved this year + a scenario where Milroe missed either Vandy or OU (giving the committee a chance to find an excuse for the loss), I'm extremely confident they would have gotten in over SMU.   That is the analogy.   JFC it's not that difficult to understand people.

I believe multiple 9-3 teams are making the playoffs this year. There is more balance from top to bottom this year than I have ever seen. And it is absolutely great for CFB.

Once again, you completely miss the point.  You really do suck at logic and analysis (and aren't the only one). OU may very well lose 4 or 5 (or more) games and it is completely moot.  But nobody here is "predicting" the rest of the season dude. This is solely looking at statistical probability and analysis for a single game in October.  If OU's goal is the playoff, and you have an injured QB that hasn't practiced and only slightly improves your chance of winning compared to playing a healthy backup, there is more upside to playing your backup because it's essentially a free roll in a scenario where you only lose 2 or 3 games.   In a hypothetical where OU goes 9-3 with a loss to Texas while playing a backup, I think very likely OU would get in under any possible scenario.  That would require going 4-2 against SC, Ole Miss, TN, Bama, Mizzou and LSU with wins over Michigan and Auburn in their pocket.

Jesus fucking christ on a goddamn bicycle you're fucking ignorant. Just plain stupid. Can't see the forest for the trees.

That may be how you want it to be, but it really isn't. You're making shit way out of proportion, over a little drive-by humor. Just a quick gif, and and a FSU says hi. That's it.

Look dude, normally you're right up there. Today, and the last few, not so much. I'm sorry whatever is going on with you is happening, but look, go fight with the idiots around here. Just because you can't comprehend something is trivial, and not some big-ass point aimed at your (apparent) lack of intelligence, is not my problem. You can say you're "calling me out", and I'm an idiot, and can't analyze. Well, that's merely your opinion, based in your failed comprehension. Now you're simply going with the classic overcompensation because you have nothing to fall back on. Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else, but I have better things to do today. Take your comprehension loss and go find something better to do.

I will not be replying to you any further. Whatever your problems are, I hope you're alright. If you need someone to talk to, I'd be happy to talk with you sometime and just listen. Whatever helps ya.

You're entitled to your opinion but you're treating it as an absolute fact that ignores the reality of what actually happened with some convoluted what if scenarios.

None of this changes the fact nobody was going to excuse a loss year on Milroe of all people for fucks sake.

Idk, maybe I’m alone in this but I still think blOU is losing 3-4 games. They can’t run the ball on Illinois St. Let’s not forget Arbuckle/Mateer lost 4 of their last five last season once his offense was figured out. If blOU wins red River, it will be because we got bad Arch/Sark and gave them good field position with a tired D. It won’t be because of Mateer hero ball

They have a bitch of a schedule down the stretch so 3-4 losses isn't the slight it sounds like at face value. Especially if one of those losses is against Texas, without Mateer. That will get written off.

They finish the year: Ole Miss, at Tennessee, at Bama, vs Missouri (don't know what to make of these guys), and vs LSU. Hard to see many teams doing better than 3-2 with that and 2-3 or 1-4 isn't put of the realm of possibility. But a top tier defense and a plus QB is generally a wining formula in football (that was supposed to be Texas this year and most of this board was thinking 11-1/12-0). They do appear to have both. And if they go 9-3 with their schedule and a healthy Mateer at the end of the year, they're going to the CFB.

Tend to agree the RRS goes as the Texas offense goes. I hope Mateer recovers quickly and plays. It was shaping up to be as interesting a matchup on paper as it's been in a while and I want to beat them at full strength, no excuses. And if Texas has CFP hopes they are going to need the resume boost of beating OU with their starting QB. Hawkins round 2 will produce a toned down version of last year and end up 21-7 or something, and it'll be hand waived away nationally.

 

A near guaranteed W matters more than the quality of a potential W maybe mattering at the end of the season. Give me Mateer out, an overall ass kicking, and all the hand waiving.

FootballScoop writer on blOU possible gameplan vs Texas...

Speaking of the actual game. After OU survived Auburn on Sept. 20 I joked that Venables would spend the next three weeks concocting a game plan to confuse and harass Arch Manning that was so diabolical it could be classified as an act of terrorism. And Venables may very well do that, but I no longer view that as necessary.

If you're Oklahoma, I think you play this game as vanilla as vanilla gets. OU leads the nation in TFLs and sacks per game. They're first on third down. Texas is 116th on third down, and Florida ran through their offensive line like 4-day-old chili. Sark and/or Arch have been unwilling and/or unable to engage in the short and intermediate passing game, a hallmark of the Ewers offense.

Play Cover 3, let your defensive tackles obliterate the interior of the Texas O-line, wait for the Longhorns to give the ball back to you by punt or turnover, and win the game 24-10. 

 

I don’t care how, please beat these tools.

I shouldn't be explaining any of this. You are drawing a parallel to another injury when we know fuck-all about either one. Other idiots here are overtly stating that think this is all a set up. That Venables and crew would lie to the media, lie to the SEC, and publicly make up a surgery coordinated with a fucking doctor whose reputation is on the line. Do you not understand the abject stupidity of this and that you're chiming in to defend it? It's fucking ridiculous.

Mateer’s decision making was insanely bad. His problem wasn’t his thumb.

Mateer is a poor man’s Sam Ehlinger.

And I’m talking about the 2017 version of Sam… not the 2018 baller.

Mateer's decision making has been bad for several years now.  

For some reason that has been portrayed by the media as him being an apex competitor instead of being someone who continually makes terrible decisions with the ball, some that work and some that bind his teams in the ass. 

Then again, these are the same media experts who told us who the top quarterbacks in the NFL draft would be before a snap was taken in game action and they have proven to be spot on. 

Brent Venables is 1-3 against Texas. Pretty sure he's the first Oklahoma coach to be 2 games below .500 against Texas since John Blake in 1998.

John Blake was 1-2 against Texas. The bad loss to Texas back in  1998 forced him out.  Gary Gibbs was 1-4 against Texas and they pushed him out at the end of the 1994. season. Unlike Texas, OU will not take losing to their archrival lying down.

I liked the plays where Mateer would abandon the pocket, look downfield, and drift back into the pocket. It was like watching a car wreck in slow motion.

Is this guy a parody or just a dip shit of colossal magnitudes? I honestly can't tell.
