"By the end of the season we'll play of our 12 regular season opponents, 5 of those teams will be top 10 teams when we played them...We have an opportunity at the end of the regular season to do something that nobody's done since 2019, and that's beat three top 10 ranked teams in the regular season" - Sark
True or False?

Beat OU who was ranked top ten.
A&M is ranked top ten.
Third was Vandy, maybe?
So, if that’s accurate, I guess it’s true.

Why are you asking True or False?
They have beaten top 10 OU and Vandy at the time the games were played. Aggie would be the third.

Is 2019 really the only team to do that?

Fine, but you started at #1, and have consistently been the highest ranked X-loss team, even after losing to Florida.
By any objective assessment, that is not living up to your preseason expectations.
Sark insisting otherwise just looks silly.

I'm not insisting anything. Just asking a question.
Is 2019 the only other team to do this? Or at least, since 2019 has any other team accomplished this?

Doesn't matter because game time rankings are stupid.

He said it would be the first time since 2019.
2020 Bama didn't do it.
2021 UGA didn't do it.
2022 UGA didn't do it.
2023 Michigan didn't do it.
Go look up the rest for yourself but it's probably accurate.

Because the relevance of ranking “at the time the game was played” or “final ranking” has been Hotly contested as the relevant measuring stick.
It switches back and forth a lot, depending on the argument being made, and who is making it.

We can also use end of season rankings.
Assuming Oklahoma and Vandy win out, they'll finish top 10.

Well Sark’s quote noted, “when we played them”…

Apologies. I wasn’t clear.
I was referring to Sark.

So if we do, in fact, win out and beat 3 top 10 teams...
And 2/3 of our losses are from top 4 teams on the road...

Stop pretenidng like 8-5 Texas was a top10 win. They didn't even finish the season ranked in the Coaches poll.

Ok take them out. LSU beat 3 others in the regular season when the game was played.
And why the frick are you making it about LSU?

Well, a loss to Arky will put that to rest.
Posted on 11/18/25 at 11:32 am to UTATX
A&M has beaten two (Notre Dame and LSU). Too bad tU doesnt give us the vhance to make it 3.

When you start to pull out moral victories like that it definitely is akin to rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic in hopes it will help it not sink.

You should extend him!
