Texas schedule

[SOUTHSWAMP]

Guys from the very jump I stated that Texas schedule is just as tough as Oklahoma due to the way the schedule was set up not the teams y’all play per se. I know you all you guys have heard is Texas has the easiest schedule but like Kyle mentioned he has a good point, he stated Vandy beat Bama, Arkansas beat Tennessee, Kentucky beat Ole Miss and A&M beat LSU.

Looks like the pussies from the national media are complaining about Texas schedule.... Last time I looked, Michigan, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texas A&M are better teams than 95% of the nation will play this season. It's not our fault that Michigan and Oklahoman have not held up their end of the bargain.

I do like this tho... all this bitching will make it home to our team's eyes and ears and hopefully light a fire under their ass. This well could be the impetus that pushes us to another National Title. **** them

I don’t agree with 2300 a lot of the time, but I endorse this message. 😉

We need to thrash UK. The worse that Ole Miss loss looks, the better. NOBODY wants to see that pass rush in the playoffs.

Honestly the truth of the matter is a lot of people having a hard time accepting that Texas is good

Lol

I lean toward agreement. I think if we lose at Arky, but win at A&M there will be a sliver of hope. Lose the last game of the year at A&M to go 10-2 and that resume argument is going to pick up steam. Texas will have had zero wins over quality opponents on the road. I don't think it would hold up.

Just win your games and it doesn't matter.

I’m not sure people are dogging your schedule. You are correct that before the season started that schedule looked good. You couldn’t predict the whole staff would leave along with most the starters for Michigan. I can’t agree that Michigan and OU are in a category that’s better than 95% of what people play. If Texas beat Georgia no one cares what your schedule looked like because you beat Georgia. The easy schedule comes in when your best win is Vandy. I think Texas has a good team but I see where people say prove it by beating someone good from a national perspective…now, I can say that for a crap load of teams this year. There is no dominant team this year.

BBA, I can agree with your overall point but I would also argue the same logic applies for you guys. Who would you say is your “signature win”?

I’m not defending A&M. It’s my point that we could go through every team and find flaws. Ole Miss looks great but lost to Kentucky. Tennessee lost to Arky. Georgia got manhandled by Ole Miss, Bama lost to Vandy, Currently A&M has LSU and Missouri on their schedule as ranked wins…I know, you don’t have to explain what they are but both teams could be 9-3. Say what you want and I can understand the eye test but the committee sees 9-3. Missouri should get beat this weekend and if Lagway is back it wouldn’t shock me if Florida beats LSU. Then, the “quality wins” take a hit. You can go through all SEC teams and find a bad loss or meh wins. BUT, I was just stating that I could see where people would say what has Texas done when they were handled by Georgia fairly well and showed some weaknesses. Again, here me say Texas has a good team and you may very well be really good, but there are issues like all the top 10 teams have. There isn’t a team that would scare me to play in the top 10. I just think it’s pretty damn even this year

-Oregon has a nice resume. Beat Boise and Ohio St. Toughest road game was at Michigan and this week at Wisconsin

-Ohio State has a tough 1 point loss at Oregon. They beat Penn St., but they always do. They have Indiana this week.

-Texas got handled by Georgia. Best wins are at Michigan and at Vandy. Texas will need to win out more than likely to make CFP

-Penn St is doing what they do every year. They are a benefactor of being highly ranked pre-season, lose to Ohio State and get a few close wins on the road against "tough" opponents. Go to a bowl game and get the shit kicked out of them. We need Minnesota to come up clutch and knock these posers out.

-Indiana has a terrible resume. Hardest game is coming up this week. If they get blown away by Ohio State, you can say adios to their playoff hopes. If they have a close loss and then beat Purdue, they are in as an 11-1 team

-BYU should be #3 in my opinion. Undefeated. Win on the road vs. SMU which isn't a terribly hard environment, but still a quality road win. Road win in a rivalry at Utah, who isn't great but still a good win in my opinion. Blew out KState at home.

-Tennessee has a very good win at home vs. Alabama. Non-conference is dog shit. They have a chance this week vs. Georgia to solidify their place. I don't think they win this game, but will finish 10-2 and probably get an at-large spot

-Notre Dame has a very good win at Texas A&M, blew away Navy who is a bit overrated, but still has a nice record. Decent win vs. Louisville. Best remaining game is against Army of all teams, lol. Notre Dame will win out and could end up with a top 4 seed.

-Miami is smoke and mirrors in my opinion, but that QB is so nice. Love his trajectory from little ole Incarnate Word. Benefitted from some iffy calls late in games. Very good second half team. 50/50 on if they make the CFP

-Alabama has 2 losses, but probably the best collection of wins of anyone in the top 10. Beat Georgia, South Carolina, Mizzou and LSU. Went to Wisconsin in non-conference and blew them away. That Vandy loss is a killer.

-Ole Miss has 2 losses as well, but some quality wins too. Wins at SCAR, and at home vs. Georgia are good wins. That Kentucky loss is a killer


So I guess the point I'm making is, almost everyone has a shit resume at this point. Most of these teams have a ranked opponent left and/or a championship game. Most of the teams in the CFP will have earned their way. There will be about 4-5 teams for 3 spots and some bitching about resume, LOL. Doesn't matter how much you expand the playoff, there will always be 1-2 more teams that there are spots and bitching about resumes.

My top 12 right now

1 - Oregon (Big 10 Champ)
2 - BYU (Big 12 Champ)
3 - Notre Dame (Independent)
4 - Alabama (SEC Champ)
5 - Ohio St.
6 - Texas
7 - Tennessee
8 - SMU (ACC Champ)
9 - Penn St.
10 - Ole Miss
11 - Indiana
12 - Boise St.
-----------------
13 - Georgia
14 - Miami
15 - Texas A&M

I don't think the committee is taking out SOS into account as much as the national media is making it out to be because they wouldn't have us at number 3. I'm in the minority in thinking that we get in at 10-2. Whether it's right or not, I just think the brand bias will play into the equation and that's exactly why I don't think a 10-2 Texas gets left out.

Another thing, people are dinging us for a weak schedule, but Ole Miss lost to Kentucky at home, Bama lost to Vandy, and Tennessee got beat by Arkansas. If we beat all those teams it just looks that much better IMO and I think the committee is going to take that into account.
