How is that different than you are doing now? You have to have a good record to go to a bowl and even better to a playoff.

Because if it was only a 4 or 8 team playoff then some good teams would still be available for upsets in bowls. I just think 16 is too many. It does not leave room for what we love the most. Like the NIU and FSU game (Even though NIU did not show up). If we had a 16 team playoff this would never happen. Keep a small playoff system and a big bowl system.

I don't get this. You are saying that if we keep the playoff small, we get the NIU-FSU in a meaningless bowl game and it makes you happier than getting to see more than one of these matchups in a 16 team playoff where every conference champion gets in and the games mean something and could get even better if those teams win. Not sure I understand your logic.

Does it make the SEC better?

Yes. I read where the Big 12 was better earlier in the thread. Well, tonight, the Big 12's co-champs by an SEC school who didn't even play in its title game. Both of the Big 12 co-champs had their butts handed to them this week.

The Big 12's only two bowl wins were squeakers that came done to the final minute of the game. Weak.

The SEC is the king until someone knocks them off the throne.

This. Every year we hear the SEC is down, ect. Every year they prove they are not. Until teams start knocking them off when it counts, I don't consider them down. Last night the Big 12 co-champs get whipped by the SEC #5?

  1. None of that has anything to do with a PAC12 school beating a Big 12 school.
  2. Big 12 has won 4 bowl games, including 2 blowouts. You don't keep up with current events very well.
  3. Not arguing otherwise.

Congrats to aTm. But they didn't suddenly blow out oU because they are now a big bad SEC team. They had superior QB play, and shut down Landry Jones. The end.

It was pretty amazing to see OU reduced to what appeared to be a mid-level Big 12 team. I was against the Sumlin hire, but goodness what he has done with the horses in the SEC is amazing. I also believe the SEC prepared the Aggies mentally. They showed up cocky and stayed that way while thumping a team I often root for. I almost felt earlier this week that OU knew exactly what was coming to them. It looked like they were going to rattle Johnny early, but you can't get field goals against the maroon. Once Johnny Football got rolling it was over. I liked the opening too about Texas A&M representing the State of Texas and the SEC.

Aggie Nation rising.

Stoops / Stoops had no answer.

He seldom does in bowl games. He prepares for one Jihad game per year in Dallas, and usually falls on his face during bowl season.

Again--kudos to aTm. They were terrific last night. SEC SEC SEC!!!

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Agreed. No issue at all. People said for years that Kyler was too small. He’s pretty OK, I guess. We don’t need or expect a Kyler, but JimJim should be given every opportunity to compete, regardless of height.

      We rarely get pressure without blitzing people and leaving gaps in our coverage. Moving, I hope, to a four man front and running a more traditional system should help. I don’t think this is purely a talent issue. I think we have very capable players on D that are being put into a system that they’ve never played.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I played baseball and coached softball. No football so I’m lacking the game plan knowledge. I realize there only 2, potentially 3 games left. Know you can’t install a new system or overhaul. But there can be some tweaks, I’m sure. historically, what kind of defenses was Odom associated with? 4-man fronts? Blitzing? Heavy man-coverage? Will we / can we notice a difference as we close out the season? The players will notice a difference, I’m sure, but will we? Honest answers and discussion.

      I appreciate Morris’ honesty and lack of coach speak. I would like to see him succeed here but he has to dial back the aggressiveness on fourth downs a tad. I think getting the defense squared away will help greatly just by taking pressure off of the offense where they feel they have to score every possession. I am intrigued to see what Odom does with this group the remainder of the year. He has a pretty solid resume.
