But since the game was close and Michigan looks to re-enter the top 10, it would be easy for voters to leave us at 1 and move Bama up to 2. Michigan looked terrible late in their game at home yesterday. Bad call by refs during gophers onsides kick saved Michigan win. Blue is not a top 10 team imo...
September 29, 20241 yr Going by resume I think AP goes: 1) Texas 2) tOSU 3) Bama 4) Tenn 5) GA Northeastern voters always seem, historically, to over value the B1G. With the Texas victory over Michigan who is otherwise undefeated, I think that keeps us a 1. I could see tOSU at 3 and Bama at 2. My instinct says Texas stays at 1... but hell, I don't really know and honestly it doesn't matter. Win out and we'll be #1 at the end of the regular season.

September 29, 20241 yr Bama should be #1, we should be #2. We control our own destiny to make it to the SEC CCG.

September 29, 20241 yr It would be annoying hearing the yapping heads yap about it, but I wouldn’t be especially heartbroken for Texas to drop. As a practical matter, it’s irrelevant. As a philosophical matter, despite the clear buy-in on culture, humans are humans and a little dose of “maybe you’re going to need to double down on the focus — and do better against the run” heading into a bye week and OU wouldn’t be the worse thing ever.

September 29, 20241 yr 10 minutes ago, Spankytoes said: Bama should be #1, we should be #2. We control our own destiny to make it to the SEC CCG. Had Bama continued to put it on Georgia, then yes. Bama gave up a massive lead to Georgia at home and needed heroics, on both sides of the ball, at the end of the game, to get the win. Big time win, but not dominant enough to deserve #1. I wouldn't mind if they get it, because our team would be motivated to get it back. Our guys are probably motivated enough after that clunker of a game yesterday though.
September 29, 20241 yr We havent played anyone. Michigan is an 8 win team We struggled, at home, vs one of the worst P4 teams in the country. Everyone should be totally fine with us at 3 or 4… its doesnt fucking matter jfc
September 29, 20241 yr Beck threw some really dumb passes also. On one of his interceptions, he threw it to a receiver who surrounded by 4 guys. Edited September 29, 20241 yr by kevwun

We played our C- game and won by 22. We left like 14 points on the board from a lack of focus. Nonstop penalties on offense. Played bend, don't break for much of the game. The game was fine, we just didn't dominate as much as we expected.

Our game was on SECN. Nobody watched it. Voters will look at the box scores, think "hmmm Texas didn't win by 50 but they still won pretty handily" and that's about it. I wouldn't be surprised if Texas remains #1. But I'd understand if we drop a spot or two, as well. Regardless, none of that changes how poorly the team actually played yesterday against a terrible opponent, and how much improvement is desperately needed before playing against the sooners and bulldogs.
September 29, 20241 yr Popular Post None of this shit matters. What matters is that kid's sec ranking.
September 29, 20241 yr also no mention of the epic fail against the run no mention of our fail running until klan aggy were gassed that was not a bottom-5 team in the P4 we should pay for this performance, like a drop below tosu i have no idea how where we land today but ESiPN power index still has us on top this morning: https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi
September 29, 20241 yr All the voters will take away from our game is Arch's stat line. That's the main story from it.

Many headlines this morning are Manning Debuts in SEC with 300 yards and 3 TD plenty to clean up but I love that a C performance these days is a 22 point win with that performance from our backup QB and 6 sacks and 1 garbage time TD surrendered by our D OU sucks and we have 2 weeks to prepare and remind the country

September 29, 20241 yr I do think as much as they would deny it and should never be doing it at this point that this choice is where results fron last year may creep into some voters mind. “Well this is a team that is lead by the same QB who was the ONE to go in to Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama there” Is it stupid? Yes, but so are a lot of these voters

Mississippi St did absolutely nothing to slow Texas down. Texas struggled with Texas.

September 29, 20241 yr First place votes last week were 44 for Texas, 13 for UGA, and 5 for tOSU. Bama will jump us IMO. Would bet they end up with around 35-40 first place votes, we get around 15-20, and tOSU keeps a few of their 5. Edited September 29, 20241 yr by LonghornSean

September 29, 20241 yr Bama barely won at home. We never trailed. We beat Michigan on the road. Talk of dropping Texas is silly.

Each game is its own set of circumstances.

The run defense was frustrating to watch, even given the circumstances. “Epic fail” is more fitting for a drunken rant in a game thread, though Sacks come out of rushing yards, so that skews the picture a little.

Recently, its been how dominating Texas has been. The final score of our game, coupled by the tight top 5 match up of UGA v Bama isn't enough to flip the script entirely given the final score of the Texas game. How that effects the idiots that vote in AP is TBD, because, in no uncertain terms, there are a lot of idiots with ballots.
September 29, 20241 yr "Epic fail against the run"???? MSU averaged 3 ypc. Of course, HC grossly over-exaggerates……but the run stats are skewed by negative yardage for sacks. We did allow too many third down conversions and tackling technique was too often poor…or nonexistent. All stuff that can be buttoned down this week

September 29, 20241 yr Alabama had a 14-13 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter at home versus South Florida. Yeah, but they should be #1. Gimme a fucking break. This game was just all about how bad UGA played.

September 29, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, Lidig8r said: Did anyone notice how much Brett McMurphy and Cliff Clavin look suspiciously similar? And ... you never see them both in the same place ... hmmm Well, here's the thing about Brett McMurphy. Did you know the Murphy name is derived from the Irish personal name "Murchadh", which meant sea-warrior or sea-battler. As for the Mic portion, that comes from the Gaelic word mac, which means "son of". So, as such we can safely assume that Brett's father was a Navy Veteran likely during World War Two.
