I do not understand why Texas is near the top on the list? They must be the darling of college football. This is sick!

The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 20,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily. FPI data from seasons prior to 2019 may not be complete.

I don’t think there’s any denying that on paper Texas looks near the top every year.

That’s what makes it so funny EVERY YEAR.

The media wants Texas in the conversation every year. We make them more $$$, which is their entire agenda.

Recently, we haven’t deserved it. This year, I like the talent and depth more than the last decade plus. No excuse to not be in the mix.

They are getting the usual Texas love plus a bump for losing close games to Bama and TCU last year and thrashing Oklahoma.

Not to poke Oklahoma with a stick they were hammered dog mess last year so I'm not sure I'd really go overboard on that win.

At the end of the day they finished 8-5 against a schedule that most SEC schools would have sold their souls to get to play.

They should put up a gaudy record next year. They get Bama and TCU but the rest of their schedule is extremely manageable. They should be favored to win in 10 of their games.

People will predict they are back and they will either beat an over matched team in their bowl game, or draw a real opponent and get slaughtered. Regardless... 2024 people will point to Texas and say they are national title contender.

Where Texas has been missing out in the last 10+ years is in the NFL Draft.. meaning, we didn’t develop players or we recruited the wrong players.

Since 2011, Texas has had the following offensive players drafted.

QB 2021 Sam Ehlinger 6th

RB 2023 Bijan Robinson 1st *
RB 2017 D’Onta Foreman 3rd

WR 2013 Marquise Goodwin 3rd
WR 2020 Devin Duvernay 3rd
WR 2020 Collin Johnson 5th

OT 2018 Connor Williams 2nd
OT 2021 Sam Cosmi 2nd

TE 2015 Geoff Swaim 7th

That’s the whole list. It is gross and it is embarrassing. But here is why Texas fans are optimistic for this year.

The following offensive players on the current team will likely be NFL draft picks in the next 4-5 years, and some of them could go really high.

QB Ewers, Murphy, Manning
RB Baxter
WR Worthy, AD, Neyor, Cook, Moore
TE Sanders
OL Banks, Campbell, Williams, Neto

That doesn’t include really solid college players like Brooks, Whittington, KRob, Blue, Cain and about 4-5 more OL that could get drafted.

On offense, that’s a huge difference in talent.

So the question for Texas this year will be.. can they stay healthy and how does the defense hold up? One thing that is substantially different for this coaching staff is that we develop guys on defense. It truly is a night and day difference imo.

TLDR: Texas usually has good talent (recruiting rankings) but Texas finally is getting good talent (NFL Rankings)

Nope, I didn’t say that, but I do believe that Texas is close and will have their best season since 2009. I think it would be hard to argue that this Texas team doesn’t have a lot of NFL talent. TBD how much the coaches get out of them.

Sark’s problem on offense is pretty simple imo.

If he gets a play to work, he is an offensive genius at setting up the next play. He runs into problems when he doesn’t get that first play to work, or he is stubborn trying to get that first play to work.

The plays stack on each other and make the defense play on roller skates.. but you have to get them to put the roller skates on first. Most of the time, it works out. Sometimes, it doesn’t.
