That's true, but "shouldn't" isn't available at this point. You can't ask Arch to just go win the title without giving him the time get up to speed at the end of the season. Ergo, must make the best out of Quinn. Maybe Sark will give more red zone plays to Arch, but that would be strange too.

Truth is, if we're seeded five or six, the loss to Georgia in the SEC title game won't really hurt us. Fifth would probably be better, but either of those draws should set us up to make the semifinal against Georgia or Oregon.

We know Sark isn't just going to replace Quinn with Arch. He missed his chance to do that during the second bye week. We must minimize mistakes, rely on our great defense, and get a kicker that can make a forty yard field goal. If we do that, we can win it all with Quinn.

I'm sure that's true. While this isn't the NFL, guys are getting paid and we're talking about a possible national championship. Plenty of other CFB teams have replaced their kicker for similar reasons, just look at Arizona State.

True, but they'll claim OSU's wins over Penn State and Indiana as two playoff teams outweighs Tennessee's best win over Alabama.

I don't see them giving the Vols a home game against OSU, although I agree they probably should. My deal is based more on a power rankings. I'm pretty sure an objective power rankings would have Oregon, Georgia, Texas and OSU as the top four. Having said that, I don't think the committee gives a crap about being objective.

They should put Georgia and Texas, along with Oregon and Ohio State, on opposite sides of the bracket.

Thinking more about the future (after next season there will be a new playoff system), I'm thinking the SEC and Big 10 will kill the "committee" business. I don't think they'll go to an automatic bid system (bad publicity), but rather to a computer poll system similar to the old BCS. That can save the conference championship money game while also taking the sentimental crap for the "others" out of the equation.

You can't go into the playoff with Bert Auburn as your kicker. He's less than 50% at forty yards. You just can't tolerate it. There are multiple guys available that can make a forty yard field goal. Replace Auburn and let them.

I'll also say I don't buy this bad match-up talk. It's true that our run game blocking scheme doesn't match-up well with Georgia's interior defense, but it's Georgia's speed at linebacker and the edge that shuts down our run game and screen game; but Quinn threw the ball down field quite well and stepped up in the pocket just like we asked him to do. Even the lack of touchdowns didn't doom us. Bert Auburn doomed us. They didn't out physical us like they did last game. We hit harder, and we protected well enough in pass pro. Penalties (and I think there were some shenanigans) and missed field goals killed us.

Notre Dame will get preferential treatment. I'm not saying that will be to the detriment of Texas. They'll do their best to put Texas in a ratings busting first game, which at this point seems most likely to be Clemson.

I don't think they'll put Bama over SMU, but they might. Sankey has probably let the goobers on the committee know that if the SEC doesn't get as many as the Big 10, the SEC will take the ball and structure the playoff how they want after the current deal ends next season, which would basically kill the NCAA at that point. Definitely some intrigue here.

What's going on with Bond? He's just not giving much effort. Even with a tweaked ankle, you can't simply give up on plays. Sark replaced him with Wingo for quite a long stretch. I think you send a message to him and the team by starting Wingo.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they matched Texas with Clemson in the first round for TV ratings.

I agree with this. Texas should be 5, but they'll probably give it to the NIU loser.

Better yet, cut Auburn on the flight back to Austin, Jimmy Johnson style. What a chump.

Auburn missed two kicks. Georgia kicker didn't miss any. He's gotta go. Cut him tomorrow and have open tryouts.

Bobby you and me both love the smell of napalm in the morning. My father served three tours in Vietnam. This was one of his favorite movies. He also loved Clint Eastwood movies.

Ant Hill gonna kick butt. Best player on the field. I've seen a few guys in the national media say as much.

You gotta love Sark for saying he protected the Aggies and he hopes they will return the respect. They won't, but that doesn't matter.

Arbuckle is an idiot. We're going over on the criminals for years.

Big news here is that Jahdae is projected mid first round at sixteenth overall. Bond's late season slip has dropped him out of the first. I'm guessing he can play his way back in if picks up his production.

We gotta take that to them Georgia Bulldogs. Shove that stuff up Kirby's...

Train interruption caused some cussing while the guys were trying get a late night video wrapped.

I'm glad you guys try to keep it PG when everyone else goes low, but that was no big deal.
