Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Addressing the cesspool...)

They are currently 15 in S&P, between Miami and Baylor. They are Cotton Bowl good. If that is "really good", then okay. We'll agree to disagree.
A team that will contend for a Playoff spot is really good.
You are on record as saying the B12 has no really good teams, no? So is Baylor "really good"?
A&M is not who you called "really good" and that is a different branch of the conversation. You said Tennessee was "really good", yet Baylor one spot behind them in the S&P you have implied vis a vi other comments is not "really good". Why the discrepancy?
Challenging inconsistencies. I am not nitpicking at all. My overriding point is that you aren't entirely objective here.
A&M will not win the West. They are good. Pretty good.
They also gave up almost 700 yards on defense too and have problems. They will get got. No question.
You're debating the difference between pretty good and very good. I have them ranked right about where most have them ranked. I think they have been very impressive this season.
In your mind, who are the very good teams in college football?
Yes, you're nitpicking.
I'll admit I'm nitpicking if you admit you are contradicting yourself.
No worries. When A&M drops some games later in the year, I won't say I told you so.

I'd probably stop spending so much worrying about aggy when there's so much wrong over here in the "cesspool".
Good, pretty good or very good? These things seem to make a huge difference to you.
Two things I would like to get off my chest. First DB play. They are not aggressive and look like they're just running around without a purpose. If Akina is coaching them, they would be all over receivers almost to the point of pass interference. The DB play is the primary reason for opponents' high yardage and offensive points.
Second, I like Charlie Strong and wish we could keep him for one more year with a new defensive staff. But, if he's let go, let's not get a young coach who has meteorically risen to stardom. Charlie is kind of one of those guys. We need someone with a bullet proof reputation for winning as a head coach, (not a coordinator) in a power 5 conference. Hope the big money donors have enough pocket change for someone like Urban Meyer, or dare I say Nick Saban? No more experiments, and no more risk! If Michigan, Ohio State, and Alabama can get a gold standard coach, why not Texas?
Great post Ketch... I appreciate all the info you have that you can share, pls keep it coming..
I also understand you are not the one hiring or firing and that you no control over the decision makers and that the stories will take lots of twists and turns along the way..
I for one won't interpret it as though you were wrong or had no real information, in fact I'll be shocked if UT is capable of handling this in an organized, coherent, well thought out process without a few screw ups along the way.. Once again, beyond your control and/or those from whom you recive insider info from..
I appreciate the info, pls keep it coming..
You must have missed the last 2 years. Obviously you don't know much about football. It is obvious to anyone who understands the game when something is wrong with the coaching staff. Everything Ketch said in his piece is right on the money and the evidence is real and on video. Before you criticize facts understand what you are talking about.
Washington
Michigan
Ohio State
Louisville
Clemson
Alabama
It should be noted that A&M is actually 6th in the SEC in S&P. Tennessee is 7th.
It should be noted that of the top seven teams in the nation in both major polls, you agree with six... and then there's one that you are at odds with... just you (and other Longhorns), apparently.
You're not nitpicking, nah....
Again, your contention was that Tennessee, a team in the middle of their conference in S&P ranking, is a very good team. FWIW, to add-on, A&M isn't Top 10. They will lose 3 games most likely, 2 bare minimum.
Saban is only leaving Alabama to retire or take one last shot at an NFL gig (long shot) and Urban Meyer is in his dream job. Chip Kelly is a non starter since Texas was part of the group that ratted him out and I doubt Texas would have him. Jim Harbaugh is at his alma mater and will stay there till he goes back to the NFL or has a complete break with reality. David Shaw is out, no chance UT hires another Black HC next with the race card being bandied about. Gus Malzahn is about to flame out at Auburn. That leaves Jimbo Fischer and possibly Les Miles. I'd rather take a shot with Tom Herman than the latter two.
OK, just as long as you aren't nitpicking out of your own personal bias'...
Tennessee didn't even drop in the AP Poll because of the strengths that exist in what I already rolled out.
