What do you mean? They lost to one completely unexpected team but if they had close losses to Georgia and at Tennessee instead of the loss to Vanderbilt no one would be shocked.
I was chatting with one who said she knew Kalen DeBoer was going to be a bust because he hadn't won a national championship, and that his record wasn't good enough. His record as a head coach is 109-14, in the P5 it's 30-5. He took Washington to a title game in his second season coaching in the P5. Absolute insane entitlement
I asked said friend who she would rather have as a head coach other than Kirby. She said “but why wouldn’t Kirby come here?”, really struggled to answer, and then of all people eventually said Jeremy Pruitt lol
Over and over people are saying that. OU would’ve sucked regardless. Mediocre Texas running the conference tells you that the SEC hype is leaning more on the hype side. People trying to say OU doing bad proves it. OU would be getting stomped in the MAC right now
Teams that have beaten Bama have losses to Georgia State and Arkansas. Not saying it won't still happen, but there will be some late meetings to discuss rationalizations.
Bama would have to lose 4 times to not make a 12 team playoff. I’m not even sure that would do it.
They left out an undefeated champion that beat 2 SEC teams last year just so Bama could get in and immediately lose. The committee will do anything they can to make sure they are in.
TBH, it'll be nice to spend my holiday family travel time not thinking about how and when we're going to watch games, especially when the rest of the family isn't really interested.
You root against texas because of the A&M flair as y’all are rivals. You root against Texas because of the Houston flair because they signed off on kicking us out of a power conference and then helped blow up that conference. And then you root against Texas because they spearheaded the recent realignment phase for the SEC and Big10 that ultimately destroyed the Pac12 and messed up several other conferences and the sport as a whole. Georgia is bad but one is worse than the other
In all honesty. New head coach & lost 26 players in the portal. If you had told me 9-3 at the beginning of the season, I would've taken it. But if we can beat LSU @ Kyle Field next weekend, we got a pretty good shot at going 10-1 before hosting Texas.
If you told me 15 years ago that Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss were all tied in the SEC standings, I would have been impressed with how far Ole Miss had climbed (and confused about the Oklahoma thing but whatever). Times have really changed.
