I mean Clemson had to go on a true road game against a top 10 team and Boise was 2 missed FG from it being a one score game late in the game.

Oregon got blown out worse than both those teams

I don’t see how you can watch the Texas/ASU game yesterday and come to this conclusion.

4 is ideal to me, but I would tolerate 8. 12 is too many


I think it depends on the year so I’d prefer one that is more inclusive. Just last year and undefeated P4 champion was left out and a 1 loss (in championship game) Georgia.

But I do agree think 8 probably gets you the right teams most years. Think something needs to be done on how these teams are though of given the huge conferences now. It can’t just be don’t lose, wins should be more important

never in the history of college football has a fan been convinced they simply got beat because they weren't as good during the game as the other team.


Testament to how good Georgia has been.

Trust me I’ve seen plenty of A&M games where I was convinced we wouldn’t win the game if it were replayed 100 times

A&M could’ve very easily been down 27-7 at the half and benefitted from Nussmeier becoming Max Johnson 2.0


I mean A&M made mistakes throughout the game and so did LSU. Typically, in an evenly matched game, the team with less or less impactful mistakes wins.

I don’t disagree with you.

Perhaps this isn’t your view, but I’ve definitely seen the “A&M has no good wins” talking point. Just pointing out that if vandy is a good win, then mizzou is a good win.

For the record I think both are good wins.

It's clear some haven't seen them play this year. Folks are just used to dunking on Vandy because it's easy.


If vandy is so great, then surely a 4 touchdown beat down of a team that beat vandy is a good win then, yes?
Wow for all the crap A&M gets for offense, we lead the SEC in scoring for sec only games. Our offense never really looks great for the whole game except for mizzou so I get it. Actually surprised me

Surprised to see Florida so high as well.
quote:

Other teams will plan for the running QB and it will not be as effective or as a surprise as it was to LSU. There are very few surprises left in college football today.



Teams should recruit 12 QBs. That way you start a new QB every game and beat everyone because they were so surprised.

In fact the opposing teams offense will be so surprised by the different QB, they will throw 3 interceptions and run the ball for 1 yard per carry
quote:

We are 5 days away from this.


To be fair I’ve seen this sentiment literally all of October. A&M isn’t Georgia so we probably have a loss or 3 coming but you can’t predict a loss 4 weeks in a row and then gloat when it finally hits.

On the other hand this is the internet where facts and reason don’t matter. I think what I find most humorous is that everyone’s mind is made up that A&M sucks so every time we win, the losing team must be terrible.
quote:

Not even concerned about ranking. I hope our team is 100% focused on the game Saturday. For me getting to play in Atlanta is more important than any ranking in week 9.


I’m not “concerned” either. The current format literally puts full control into a teams hands for an SEC school. Win all your SEC games and you’re in. No beauty pageant.

Still fun/interesting to talk about.
I’m not saying what should or should not happen. Just a general commentary using A&M as an example.

I don’t like the precedence of scheduling a tough marquee non-conference opponent causing such a drag on a resume. What’s A&M ranking if we played incarnate word instead of Notre dame week 1? I think tough out of conference games should be encouraged/rewarded like in basketball. Perhaps playoff rankings take this into account though.

The trash talk is much improved over prior years when we had jimbo.

Back to good old having an opinion and results either reinforce that opinion or are disregarded.

LSU loses to a bad USCw and struggles against South Carolina? LSU is a different team! That was week 1! Dug down deep when it mattered. Smacked Arkansas around, that’s the ticket!

A&M on the other hand lost in week 1 to a bad team! They struggled with bowling green! Sure they smacked Mizzou around but that doesn’t mean anything.

These teams seasons are literally mirrors of one another

Lebby's team looked well coached and disciplined.


For the most part yes but ripping the helmet off another player and taking a swing is not what I would call disciplined
quote:

Because the system will justify it based on rankings It's bullshite but typically the outcome


First tie breaker is head to head of tied teams which would eliminate Georgia at 0-1 I would think.

It’s too early to think about any mayhem though.

Most in my section left at halftime because they knew it was over. I stayed just to watch him.


Apparently he was hungover as all get out during this game :lol:
Usually it’s A&M doing cringe stuff like this. Oh how the turn tables have turned :lol:

No. Aggy just has to win all their games. Completely in the realm of possibility for aggy. This is shaping up to be a great season because we have a chance to go in there undefeated and absolutely break them emotionally.


Your scenario is more likely; however I like this one the best:

A&M beats Texas in regular season
A&M wins rematch in Atlanta
A&M wins final rematch in playoffs


:lol:

Not really, win out (which is improbable) and we are in. Only 2 unbeaten teams besides us in SEC play and we play both of them.

Its fun to think about but Ive watched enough A&M football to know what’s coming next.

Seems cheap given his track record at TCU and A&M.

I dislike how he left and who he left to but no denying success.
