Ohio State has thumped the SEC in the last 3 matchups. Arch did nothing against that defense like he did against the OK defense.

Wrong its about 4 with one guy coordinating it. Funny SEC throwing a fit because a school uses the rules and its resources to become competitive. Aggy and Horn have been doing this for years. That's why in time they will dominate the SEC. Then they'll cry and demand new rules.

How is UGA, BAMA, etc going to compete on this front. Texas's, $ 2.7T, economy is greater than the eco states of LA, Miss, bama, Ga and SC combined. The money is easier to find.

Prepare for your new overlords.

And there’s not a school or fanbase out there that would turn down the opportunity to have similar.

That Phil Knight / Nike angle certainly helped with putting Oregon on the map as a recognized modern CFB power.

A well rested Ohio State who coasted on cupcake schedule all season is more likely to be completely refreshed by playoffs while SEC teams are likely beaten up or injured by then. You’re a Florida fan defending Big 12 and B1G? Odd.

Not what I said. I said I would be comfortable Tech playing this OU team because we match up well. I dont give a shite about the SEC schedule. Its not my or Techs problem.

Look at Taco Tech’s SoS. Laughable.

No when FL isn't involved I try to be a little objective. As far as TT I think they are a 2nd tier threat to win it all. No one is going to just line up and bully that defense. It will take some nice passing to beat them. The only SEC teams I usually root against in the playoffs is GA and TN. Despite being a long time rival I never really hated LSU that much.

Our no offense still beat more ranked teams than you guys. Come back at us when you guys have legitimate schedule. As of right now, our SoS is #6 compared to your lightweight #51 SoS.

Everyone thinks this is old TT, ok keep watching.

Whoever has to go Lubbock, because TT will have a bye, is going to get their arse kicked.

We’ll see. Let the games do the talking. Still though, I will take a battle tested team over Texas Tech.

Remember how well TCU did a couple years back? No Little 12 team is a legit championship contender.

You benefited from weak B12 schedules for a decade, now you're on the other side of it. Suck it up.

What a stupid post: 'cause we'zzzz SEC.


You are more full of shite than a Thanksgiving Turkey.

TTU has the 56th SOS LOL
OU has the 6th SOS

Factoring in that its proven TTU has played a way lesser schedule lets look at the overall wins and losses of the teams:

TTU opponents are 60-61 for 49.6%
OU opponents are 77-45 for 63.1%

Look at rankings and its obvious TTU has played a way softer schedule. I’d loved to have seen TTU go on the road to TN and Bama and win in back to back games.

I do hope we can meet up in playoffs.

I would favor Tech over OU. Tech has a decent D, more than good enough to shut down OUs anemic offense. Techs offense is good enough to score on the OU defense. Would not be a high scoring game but give me Tech

Suck what up? I openly said OU got exposed in the playoffs when they were in Big 12. Look at TCU. They were gritty as hell and dominated Big 12 until they made it to NC only to get buttfricked by Georgia on national stage. Same shite happened to OU. LSU slaughtered us in 2019.

Wow this is such a stupid argument. Right, 2025 Texas Tech is exactly the same team as 2022 TCU! Good Lord. Only an idiot buys this 'logic'. I guess 'cause its so simple and the only thing a moron can 'understand'.

TCU was all O and no D. Different team, different year, different environment.
There are some seriously stupid posters on this site. Back to your meth and East Texas trailer.
