re: Joel Klatt reveals post-spring Top 25 rankings for 2024

[quote]I think it's a pretty good Top 25 imo.. [/quote]
What is pretty good about it if you are a Texas fan (besides a lofty ranking) is the schedule you got from the SEC schedulers.
#2, #17, #25. And five unranked opponents.
As an OU fan I know I'm jealous. LOL. ...

The SEC grind must be the reason that Alabama only has a 90% in conference winning percentage for the last 15 years. ...

This is important when these people claim we aren't "southern enough" to be in the SEC.

[quote]OU probably has the best defense in the SEC this year, it’s absolutely stacked. [/quote]
This is why I love the typical college football fan.
Why?
Because you have no clue what other teams in the SEC have on defense.
Meanwhile, the fans of the other teams in the SEC have no clue ...

My observations of Starkville is that it is the college town that most represents all the small towns in the south that don't have big time colleges in them.

Good. You can be "fishing show" ambassador for OU as we enter the SEC.
I was kind of worried if we had anybody qualified for that job. ...

To me it would be Drink calling up the Williams family offering the little brother.
That is pretty much what it would be. Nothing more... nothing less. ...

Well, what do you think of his family's "intelligence" now that they have taken OU's desperation offer(s)?
