So CFB fans have clamored for a 16-team playoff bracket - they will deserve it when a 3-loss team wins it all.

Major CFB is not a beauty contest anymore. Teams that have gotten better through a rough season and manage to make the tournament can now reap the rewards for their efforts.

College basketball has seen lots of teams win the natty with “ugly” records. It isn’t about the record so much anymore, it’s about the battles on the field.

SMU and Boise sure looked happy getting their asses kicked last year.

You know what they say, better to have played and lost than never to have played at all.

At least I think that is what they say.

Bold predictions for the year in football

Texas has 50 players on the roster that will get drafted over the next 4 years.

23 on offense
2 QB - Arch, Lacey
5 RB - Baxter, Wisner, Clark, Simon, Gibson
7 WR - Moore, Wingo, Livingstone, Mosely, Lockett, FFrench, McCutcheon
3 TE - Endries, Townsend, Winston
6 OL - Goosby, Baker, Brooks, Neto, Campbell, Kibble

27 on defense
5 Edge - Simmons, Burke, Vasek, Zina, Jackson
6 DT - Brevard, Shaw, Watson, January, Sharma, Terry
4 LB - Hill, Moore, Lefau, Smith
7 CB - Muhammed, Gullibleu, Littleton, Phillips, Black, Roberson, Mack
5 S - Taaffe, D Williams, Mcdonald, J Williams, Z Hicks



For those that doubt me.. I offer this post I said in the Summer of 2023, when I said that Texas could have as many as 15 players drafted the following year.

11 players were drafted in 2024
+ Quinn in 2025 (eligible in 24)
+ Sorrell in 2025 (eligible in 24)
+ Barron in 2025 (eligible in 24)

I'll admit that 50 is probably not going to happen, but even if it's 80% of that number, 40 is ridiculous.

Brock Taylor, who holds the record for the longest FG in Vandy history, will break the record he set last year by mid-season. Still won't Mevis' 61 yard SEC record, but will come close. I'm thinking 59+.

OU will come third in the SEC with Texas finishing below that.

Alabama will beat Georgia in the SEC Championship.

Penn state will win the national title, making it three consecutive years the Big has won and resulting in everyone freaking out.

at some point during the season, i will be watching an AU game and something will happen to cause me to curse loudly, then turn off the TV in disgust

ok, not so bold a prediction, but 100% accurate
