John F.

I could see him having a role in the RB room but counting on him to be in the top two would be a mistake. Seems like a great guy and hope he can fully get right but hope isn’t a strategy as they say. Not sure how having him be lower on the depth chart will work out with NIL. Also don’t know what his value would be in the portal market. Tough spot for him

Agree. The only possible thing I could see the committee doing differently is putting Georgia over Ohio State.

Both tackles if Goosby doesn’t go to the draft. Conner Robertson at center if he returns or Daniel Cruz could compete for it in his third year. At guard - ?

All these coaching changes hopefully will push a lot of quality players (OL!) to the portal

Timing seems weird in the middle of the early signing period

Possible but doubtful. The Gator Bowl is affiliated with the SEC, but the Citrus Bowl has the first pick of non playoff SEC teams. Texas is a draw so hard to imagine them passing.

Pass on him and wait for Grant and Graham

Will do. Wasn’t meant to be a critique. Just assume y’all are busy following it

Mods do seem quiet on this all of a sudden

It’ll probably take both for them not to make it

All true. In short, Texas has a Miami problem. Florida schools are our downfall this year.

So they say but it’s not set in stone. Last year Texas and Penn St both lost and only dropped one spot because Georgia jumped them. SMU lost and got jumped by idle Indiana and Boise who won. The key thing is SMUs drop only hurt their seeding. It didn’t push them out. I doubt the committee would eliminate a CC loser like Alabama without cover from some other circumstance like a coach leaving or major injury. BYU is a little different. They’re not technically in right now (10 is the cutoff because of the 2 auto bids), so I could see them dropping if they lose.

Wild. Had to double check to make sure it wasn’t No3

No WRs leaving?

My thoughts on the portal

Lane dealing with the LSU media will be entertaining at least

This is true. Committee has said as much too. But one interesting scenario would be if there’s something to the DeBoer to Penn St rumors. The committee has also said they’d consider availability of players and coaches so if he bolts, especially after losing badly to Georgia in the championship game, who knows

We’ve devolved to “I know you are but what am I?”

Yes but that’s a lot of new coaches. Also tough to say before portal madness. Home games should be manageable. To make the playoff have to lose no more than two of: Ohio State, Oklahoma, and the four road games. Not easy.

Meanwhile lame duck Eric Morris is coaching North Texas vs Tulane and Sumrall, who may or may not coach the game, for an automatic bid. What a joke.

I did not expect a natty.

Agree. Disappointment ≠ waste. Yes the losses sucked but there were some great moments. And more importantly I got to share those with my family and you freaks on this site. Viewing that as a waste sounds like a miserable way to live.

Playoff sure. Bowl game nah

Y’all don’t miss those epic games in Ames?

We do have them next year.
