so ok ****ing well. congratulations runts. you have played a political periphery game that isn't really the main game, well. And now we will see you smacked around later rather than earlier, and will be reminded that football isn't the same as basketball. And the meaning of college football will go the sad way of the meaning of Christmas.
And midgets and hobbits, chipmunks and dwarves will happily sing how much is that doggie in the window.


Blame your leadership for being so ****ing stupid that they wanted to go to the SEC and get their stool pushed in on the daily.

Tech played the hand it was given and beat the hell out of UT in the process with a lesser hand. Says to me something about the relative intellect running each program.

Cry harder, *****es. Have fun watching Tech with a bye in the CFP while your team preps for the Alamo Bowl.

TVM, you are the best UT poster here since Dub, RIP. So nothing personal against you.

But Texas made its bed and it is full of rusty metal dildos. And I hope they choke. Sucks to be Texas.

congrats on your move to the SEC. You got played.

We didn't make you join the SEC.

of course you couldn't. but with greatness come obligations to accept great challenge.

and good grief I just looked at your noncons for 2026.

all that said, your players coordinators and coaches have done well this year. they don't make up the super soft schedule.

Are these guys even televised?! Seriously I've seen every team in the top 25 at some point. Haven't caught a single down of flea football.

Having their best season ever….networks dgaf. Ouch.

Dude. This is some laaaaaaaame smack. Literally every single game has been televised. And Big Noon and College Gameday both came to Lubbock this year.

a week or so ago you were trying to curry favor w Aggies, saying how much you hated TEXAS and how you'd be so happy to never ever play us again in any sport. so great is your hate.... You were "aggie virtue signaling" as I like to call it.
And now you have it in your brain that Tech "beat the hell out of UT..." And now you say I should blame my leadership for not arranging soft schedules? and blame them for taking on greater challenges.

tsk tsk you're in an unprincipled topsy-turvy mindset and you think $h!+ is gold.
"sucks to be Texas?" lol.

Also, Longhorn Dub was a Baylor Bear (but with his heart in the right place) and a Coog . leaving me as the best rivalries UT poster and the (last regular) Ultimo Hombre.

TVM, if the game is to get to the CFP, Tech beat the hell out of Texas, who started the year as #1 and with the anointed Heisman winner at the helm. Meanwhile Tech, jilted in conference realignment and ranked #24 to start the year in the Big Dumpster Fire conference, will likely take down a first-week bye in the CFP if they can beat the Mormons once more.

One team does less with more, and one does more with less.

Virtue signaling is a funny idea. The only thing I like about A&M is my friends and family that went there, but that's enough. The rest of my discussion focused only on the notion that I don't personally blame A&M for leaving the Big 12 because Texas does what Texas does, and I don't like it. You probably wouldn't either were the situation reversed.

As I said, enjoy the Alamo or Pop Tarts bowl, and if you want a brush-up to help you know how to read the program for the top-ranked team in Texas as they enter the CFP, I'm here for you.


Merry Christmas!

Y'all had a sweeet emphatic shutout win today, but read between the lines a bit ... there's a little unsteadiness. a few areas of concern. just sayn
If the Horns get in, the whole playoff system's a joke and only Conference Championships mean anything.


You know damn well that's about to be EXACTLY what happens.

Oh well. It doesnt look to me like the Texas Longhorns will rejoin the playoff scheme this season which has a diversity theme rather than one based on merit, and rewards the runts who cynically plotted for themselves paths of little resistance in their inferior divisions and with non con patsies.
To wit; Texas lost to the Florida Gators (who pounded the hell out of 8-3 Seminoles last night), And Texas Tech (for example) btho of Arkansas-Pine Bluff who most recently was stomped by the alabama state hornets.
And.. so, dumbed down america is asked to believe this is what's best for college football. and sadly, some of them believe it.

so ok ****ing well. congratulations runts. you have played a political periphery game that isn't really the main game, well.

"I think there's a real argument, to be honest," Tebow said during an appearance on SportsCenter. "When you look at what they have done this year, they lost to the No. 1 team in the country. They played five top 10 teams in the country. When they played them, they're 3-2 and the two losses are on the road."

IMHO, Anybody who has such strong feelings that they're better than Texas, should want us in the playoffs, so they can prove it.

Wow, both Tebow and Finebaum have said this on ESPN? The same ESPN that has a long-term media rights agreement with the SEC, the conference that the Horns just happen to be in? And Tebow and Finebaum just happen to be employed by ESPN? What a coincey-dink!

The fear of playing Texas. Tech fans freaking out there's an outside chance we get in.

And you know us. We'll play anyone anywhere. We prove it


Joel Klatt: The 9-3 Longhorns are "absolutely alive" under the 12-team CFP model
FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt echoed that reasoning. After the first CFP rankings placed Texas at No. 11, Klatt said that slot sent a message: the committee may be shifting toward valuing strength of schedule and nonconference ambition over spotless records.
"Texas as a 9-3, as the committee is telling us, is absolutely alive for the playoff," Klatt said recently.
He added the path forward is clear: "They took the hardest schedule among contenders, played and beat multiple top-10 teams, and under the new 12-team format, strength schedule, plus big wins, plus respectable losses might trump perfection." To Klatt, that's more than enough ammunition.

The playoffs were determined a joke when a team who couldn't even win their conference won the National Championship. Now a 3-loss team possibly could. And BYU, who if they don't win the conference championship game, might not get an invite because they lost to the #4 team in the nation twice. Unreal.

yeah. you mentioned I was a liar. then you called someone else a liar. your thing I guess.

the fact is I misread the record. Florida st did open the season with a win v bama. and went into the Swamp 5-6, got smashed by the SEC Gators and are now 5-7. that check out?

Thanks for reading my posts.

TEXAS lost to Ohio State by the closest of margin (seven points) of any of its opponents. We had 132 yards more than the Buckeyes. No other foe played Ohio State within 14 points. can I get fact check on that?

We beat Vandy oU and the Ags. Tx Tech should be thanking us for their ranking. but they're unreasonably terrified.

We'd like teams who have earned a playoff spot, like BYU, actually get in instead of a 3-loss team who didn't even make their conference championship game.

BYU didn't play anybody. no quality Ws. no quality Ls. and the nation is not clamoring to see brigham young.
We want to see best on best.

But couldn't they still get in????

Nobody else could do it. They have a good team with a very good and tubby coach.

Tim Tebow respects Florida, which is why his endorsement (see above) is especially meaningful.

Look, I know Ags would love another crack at Texas to make things right. but I'm a bit concerned about Tech's point of view.

If the goal is to win the national title, then your schedule should be one that prepares you for and lays a path to get you there.

I don't think a three loss team has any business in a 12 team playoff, especially ahead of other 10-2 and 11-1 P4 teams. But I do think Sark is right - Texas should have scheduled a patsy instead of OSU. And who cares if they do? I don't. He's right that a 10-2 Texas team probably makes the playoff, especially as well as they have been playing in November. But they aren't 10-2. So shut up, and try harder next year.

Conferences should break up into divisions. Division champions should play in the conference championship. The conference championships should be the first round of the playoffs. If you can't win your division, you can't play in the playoffs.

It takes all the beauty pageant out of it, and focuses on finding the best team.

The NFL does it this way. MLB. NBA. There isn't another major sport that relies on arbitrary rankings to decide who makes the playoffs.

If the SEC is as good as the SEC says it is, it doesn't need to schedule top 10 teams out of conference. Play ball.

Trolling on an Aggie site since 2001 is the very definition of an obsessed lunatic. At least FXST (aka the pony tailed freakshow) got off of the board after he retired from his A/P job.

Yea then you turn around and lose to UF, then get rolled by UGA. Then had to have OT to beat Miss State and Kentucky. THEN almost let Vandy beat you as time expired after they scored 21 in the 4th after being down by 24 at then end of the 3rd.

This is why you are not in the playoffs. Pretty simple.

Yeah like Ohio State vs Michigan last week when they kicked off at noon. Na nobody cared about that game either.

Why does college football passion dumb usually smart people down? There is really stupid crap in this thread.
