    I'm going to post a couple of threads over the next month regarding Bama, one being a mudhole thread. That considered, I just can't pass this shit up. Every preseason magazine has them top 4 or better

  • OU needs to always lose. Losing to a terrible 5-7 Charlie Strong team in 2015 didn’t stop a 1 loss Big 12 champion OU from the playoffs. Fuck OU forever and ever.

Looking at historical results when the conference championship structure, current coaching regime at both schools, and players on the teams are all completely different seems pretty dumb as fuck. 

Russillo does a top 12 every week and had OU 3 and Texas 5. Then he talked with Todd McShay who thinks that OU outplayed us but that we're still the better team and likes us in a rematch. 

But yeah the season is over because... um... Charlie Strong lost a lot of games or some shit. 

Just get rid of the dumb coaches poll

I don’t see that much to object to that won’t work itself out over time. We stand a solid shot at #5 needing the PAC or ACC champ to drop a game and we could be in if we run the table.

Texas tied with Bama, USC two spots ahead of ND would be a couple major complaints I have. The coaches’ voting patterns are incredibly formulaic.

Air Force should move into to 25 and UNC should move up a notch or two at least. USC should take a tumble. Their schedule only gets more difficult. But Air Force is playing solid ball and is undefeated. Should be in it.

This may be the year SEC, ACC, PAC, and B1g all produce unbeaten champs.  Bx12 possible also, but if we sit at 12-1 we have to argue schedule against FSU.  Nah, won’t happen.

These dumbfuck sec honks that put every sec team on their ballot because sec. Who the fuck still had aggy on their ballot. Can't wait to get in on that next year.

I’m surprised they didn’t go ahead and vault UNC in with the other undefeateds.  It’s a bit of an outlier as well. Especially with their next 3 being so winnable before they get Duke and Clemson.  Mack should have them 9-0 going into that Duke game at home, before going to Clemson.

UNC shouldve lost to App State. UNC is dogshit

Alabama beat aggy @ aggy - no change

Alabama barely beats ark at home - moves up.

Clearly the voters value a win at home over ark than they do a win at kyle.

17. Tennessee

18. USC

19. LSU

should all three be swapped with 

20. Missouri

21. Louisville 

22. Air Force

Tennessee played an ugly game v aggy. And the HC gets a lot of jokes but he’s now beaten three of the 5 remaining MNC active coaches. Not bad. Missouri is better. Just a straight swap where Missouri is 17, Louisville is 18 (could make a case Tulane is better) and Air Force is 19. Maybe LSU higher than USC.

Louisville just got drilled by previously 1-4 Pitt.  They are lucky to still be ranked.

At about this time every year, this comment pops up. And every year, at least half of those teams get tagged with a loss and 1-loss teams make the Playoff. College football is college football.

Only reason they are there is bc ND. And overall record. USC is going to fall hard

Ah yes, what was I thinking. Oregon is obviously a power house because they needed a fucking miracle to escape Texas Tech and have beaten 0 ranked teams this year. Fucking unbeatable.

I like to imagine Washington, North Carolina, Big 10 team, and Alabama wins the SEC with Texas sitting right there. 

Then somehow Texas costing the SEC a spot in the playoffs the last year in before joining. 

And then Texas meets Mack Brown the Championship game. While I am daydreaming.

Pretty much AP got top ten right. It’s 11-25 that’s a hot mess. But I guess they don’t care? Lol.

Mack will lose to his ACC OU (FSU)

Probably. Would like to see him run the table (as long as it doesn’t hurt us) but they aren’t very good and will find a loss or three along the way.

Ahhh yes the transitive properties of Math in college football. No way we’d lose to a team that struggled against SMU Cincinnati and faced absolute dogshit schedule.

Well let's see. Oregon is historically a paper tiger. They have beaten nobody of value this year. Meanwhile Texas has beaten #3 Alabama on the road at night and a ranked Kansas team with a last second loss to #5 OU. Advantage Texas. So like you said originally, no Oregon is not better than us right now.

This is homer dumbfuck nonsense. No one said Oregon is unbeatable. Oregon and Texas would likely be a very competitive game that either team could win.

It is.  It reminds me of another fanbase that is constantly making up results of fictional games in which they are undefeated.

Yea, Oregon would go similarly to OU. Our secondary sucks.

I didn’t see it showed us as tied with Bama. Whateves that’s dumb. I saw ND and USC don’t care both suck. Doesn’t matter as long as we win out and ACC or pac 12 champ is a 1 loss team we should be fine.

Oregon hung with Washington the whole game and Washington appears to be very good. Stop being goober homers.

AP Top Ten with Surly Team Assessments

1. Georgia- Overrated. Ugly QB. Trash schedule. Almost lost to SC

2. Michigan- Overrated. Lost to TCU last year. Trash schedule

3. OSU- Overrated. Struggled to move the ball against Indiana. Coach is a pedo.

4. Florida State- Overrated. Played BC close. Big wins were against garbage LSU and Clemson

5. Washington- I haven't seen one person call them overrated so it kinda ruins the joke

6. OU- Overrated. But ranked fairly. Only beat Texas because Sark told the players to have fun. WONT HAPPEN AGAIN

7. Penn State- Overrated. Trash schedule. Pedophiles.

8. Texas- Overrated. The most talented team in the country, but dont want it bad enough

9. Oregon- Overrated. Big win was against a Colorado team that is an embarrassment to the sport. Coach looks suspiciously similar to Herman (physically)

10. UNC- Overrated. "Dogshit" crap schedule. Lifetime achievement award for Mack

#7 PedoState at #3 OSU 

#17 Tennessee at #11 Bama 

 

All four of these teams are absolute bullshit, how do you even handicap this shit? 

Up to #7 in the coaches poll with BlowU at #6. Alabama is #7 and Oregon at #8. That win against Bama is the gift that keeps on giving. We need to take advantage by winning out. 

People finally stopped putting aggy anywhere on their ballot, including Jimbo. Amazing.

Texas #7

Oregon #8 and Bama #9 in the AP poll. Oregon slowly creeping up to our point total in the poll. Dont like that. 

Lol yeah jimbo has a vote but aggy didn’t get a single vote. Meanwhile, james Madison is in the top 25 and Toledo is getting votes. 
 

someone should mention on texags that jimbo or whichever asid or ga filled the thing out wasn’t redassed enough to put their own team anywhere on the sheet.
