With Baylor and Utah winning, our hopes now rest on either: 1) the CFP committee moving us ahead of Michigan St for playing 2 P5 Champs and beating one, or 2) Oklahoma St. dropping below us. Neither seems likely.

The rankings are out, we are #12 and Oklahoma is below us. Baylor and Ole Miss swapped spots even though both won, making it slightly more likely we'll jump them if they lose to Oklahoma St. OU dropped 4 with a 4 point loss to OKST, and #9 Baylor would only have to drop 3 now to be below us. And so ...

According to my calculations, this is our best shot: Alabama beats Georgia in a close game for the SEC Championship; Georgia does not drop out of the top 4. Oklahoma State embarrasses Baylor for the Big XII Championship, and the 3rd loss is enough to drop them below us. No other shenanigans; everyon...

Nov 2, 2024 game against UNLV is off. A future meeting in Las Vegas is being discussed.

Too bad, once we join the Big 12 we're gonna need some cupcake games...

Did someone say cupcakes?

Well, strangely the CFP committee loves us, and has us at 15, and we have opportunities to rise with well-timed losses and upsets by those above us. 11/6: * 13 AUB vs 14 A&M next * 9 WAKE vs UNC (UNC favored) 11/13: * 4 ORE vs WSU * 8 OU vs 12 BAY * 9 WAKE vs 19 NCST (NCST favored) * 13 AUB vs 1...

Well, I whiffed on all my predictions except the win. I'll take it.

I am definitely worried about this game. However, there are a couple of things we have in our favor: 1) Unless you're Duke or William and Mary, you can score points on Virginia this season. Not being terrible on offense is probably good for 4 TDs. 2) Anyone remember what the kryptonite for a Bronco ...

My thinking is that this game exposed how much we miss three people: Jeff Grimes, Eric Mateos, and Khyris Tonga. Grimes and Mateos had our O-line running like a machine last year, no matter who was in. We've been pretty good so far this season, but when we're down two starters like against Baylor, w...

Definitely make sure to make a dig at his wife's Insta while you're at it.

No, but it did make the top 5 from College Football Final. SC Top 10 had too many plays from lesser sports...
