re: Why is Texas losing many of their productive offensive players from last season?
Posted by theyatoak on 12/26/25 at 5:57 pm to koreandawg
I think Wisner thought he had Texas by the balls since Baxter left and he was the clear #1. He asked Texas for a large NIL deal which they wouldn’t match. So I think Texas isn’t overpaying for their current players. Or in the case of people like Deandre Moore, telling them they need to take a pay cut.
Texas was fine letting CJ Baxter go. He has not been the same since his injuries.

I knew someone who always bought two tickets with the same number. His logic was that if he won and there were multiple winners, he wanted a bigger piece of the pot.
Seems that’s what happened in the California example. A guy bought two tickets with the same numbers.

I knew Charlie was cooked when his core values included: no drugs, no guns, treat women with respect….wtf?
This is UT Austin here, not maximum security prison. Charlie was so in over his head.

I think the value will be sitting in on practices, film sessions, getting to know players, etc…he can still do some coaching in the practices as well.
So he doesn’t have to coach the game to get what he really wants which is to evaluate the talent.

Probably going to beat them? Come on now. I would like to see some more confidence than that.

One of these teams is going to have to win soon or this model will have to change. If after a few years these teams just continue to get blown out, this concept will be really tired.

Considering Aggie has degrees in grass growing; I would hope this would be your specialty.
When you say winless vs winning teams…that’s Georgia and Ohio State.
Should we change your post to say winless vs teams ranked in the top 3 in the country on the road?

Fake News…link to an article where Texas said they would “run” the SEC.
re: Any Notre Dame fans here that have logical reasons they should have made the playoff?

So Bama didn’t move down because it was a CCG. But…
Ohio State moved down
BYU moved down
Virginia moved down
That seems odd.

And to think they want to go to 16.
4 was plenty. 8 would have been ok. 12 is too many.

No, I’m making a case that the committee was planning this jump last week when the rankings came out. Hence why they moved ND down to 10.
I thought they did this to protect Bama in the event of an SECCG loss, they could just move Bama down to 10 and ND back to 9. But Bama lost and they didn’t move them.

Texas A&M -5.5 vs Miami
Ole Miss - 16.5 vs Tulane
Oregon -21.5 vs James Madison
Oklahoma -1.5 vs Bama
What great matchups!!!

I have no problem with Miami getting in over ND. My point is they jumped Bama over ND last week, which didn’t make much sense. Bama didn’t look great against Auburn and ND smoked Stanford. So there wasn’t an obvious reason for Bama to jump ND.
Now, the reason looks to be to put ND at 10 last week so they can swap with Miami, which I’m fine with.

The fix was in last week to swap Miami and ND

I thought they moved Bama up to 9 to cover for a potential SECCG loss, then they could move them down to 10. But turns out, that wasn’t it.
They moved Bama to 9 and ND down to 10 in anticipation of this flip with Miami.

It serves as a dash of hope for fans for a few weeks to boost seratonin, like buying a lottery ticket. People still buy them even though the odds are bad.
Plus it’s a recruiting tool.

He’s really struggling for relevance since the expansion saga of 2010
No, I will take better games to watch throughout the season and your team needs to finish in the top 10. Which is reasonable. Plus the SEC schedule is going to give you the benefit of the doubt (BYU) with one more loss.
Texas made the playoff last year, OU this year. Meanwhile the teams should be better prepared due to facing better competition.

Sorry Miami…you couldn’t even make the ACC title game

Auto rejection. The conference was just won by 5 loss Duke.
Vandy or Texas now
Posted by theyatoak on 12/6/25 at 5:18 pm
If the games continues at this pace, it’s Vandy or Texas now. The SEC will lose their minds if 5 teams don’t get in. It’s a 5 team SEC minimum.
How much should the loser drop?
Posted by theyatoak on 12/6/25 at 4:57 pm
Well let’s look at 2023 when Georgia lost to Bama. Georgia dropped 5 spots and Bama jumped 4.
So presumably these games can cause 4-5 spot swings then right?
