it's not a controversy.. outside a certain father coaching his son.. the rest of the schools out there would take either Texas QB to start right now over who they have at this moment...

I mean, he is not wrong.

1. You are a very good team.
2. You have the easiest schedule, either dodging all the good teams or getting them in Austin. You get the 4 weakest teams - Vandy, UF, MSU, and Arkansas. You get UGA at home, and Kentucky who may be better than their USCjr game, at home. We'll find out how good OU and ATM are.
3. You should win the SEC and get to the SECCG.
4. With a 12-team CFP, you will then have to play the best teams.
5. If you win, then who you played won't matter.

Let's see what happens. I wouldn't be counting your UGA chickens quite yet. Defense travels, and our O isn't as bad as we played on Saturday.

“You play the defending national champs in their house and the preseason #1 team which also won the previous two nattys. You have an easy schedule.”
 
Texas has Oklahoma, Georgia and at Vandy back to back to back. A Murderer's Row right there.

I said you had the easiest schedule in the SEC. That's not debatable.

- You realize there are 12 games, right? Defending NC could have been tough, but they suck this year. You don't get credit for what they were last year. No credit there other than playing a mediocre P4 team. Same with us - we got a Clemson that looks non-good, same with Bama who got Wisky.

- Your toughest SEC opponent you get at home. Meanwhile that opponent gets 3 of the toughest SEC teams on the road. Can you see the difference there?

- Right now the SEC has 6 of the top 7 teams in the country. You play 1 of them - UGA - at home. You want to argue that isn't a nice thing to have? Meanwhile, UGA gets 4 of those 6, 3 of them on the road. You think you would be looking at this season a little differently if you had that schedule? Let's compare those 6 top teams:

- UGA - @Texas, @Bama, @Ole Miss, UTjr, Clemson
- TX - UGA, OU, @ATM, Kentucky, Michigan
- OU - UTjr, TX, @Ole Miss, @Mizzou, @LSU, Bama - sheesh
- Bama - UGA, @Mizzou, @UTjr, @LSU, @OU,
- UTjr - @OU, @UGA, Bama, (they also get VU, UF, MSU, Arky - worst teams)
- Ole Miss - @LSU, OU, UGA, Kentucky
- Mizzou - @ATM, @Bama, OU

Honestly, which of those teams do you want to switch with?

- The worst 4 teams in the SEC are Vandy (got railed by G6 GaState), Arkansas (barely beat UAB), MSU (got railed by G6 Toledo), and UF that is likely to have an interim coach and will lose 8 games. You get all 4 - we get 2.

With a 12 team CFP you will likely have to play some of those top 6 teams to win it all. We will see what happens against us in Austin, and then some of those teams in the CFP-12.

Look, you can only play who is on your schedule. But let's not act like you have a tough SEC schedule. You just don't.

Don’t act like playing the #1 team isn’t harder than playing lots of also-rans when you’re vying for a championship.
We’re not playing averages here.

It's the same stuff SEC honks have done for years.

They talk about how "tough the SEC is" and how middling SEC teams would win other conferences...but then when an SEC team loses it's "well, that wasn't a top tier SEC team" or "you got them at home" or "they were 'down' that year".

By the way, part of the reason I downgrade UGa is OL. They lost maybe their best OL in the UK game. The reason I had Georgia #1 is I thought they had the best OL in the country. Not sure they have looked like it, so far this year. They definitely didn’t look like it vs Kentucky. Maybe that was a match-up thing, but it is a question. I am sure teams like Texas, Osu, and Tenn will play a game over the next month, where we question our preconceived notions

100%. Every team has a clunker or two during the season. Hopefully just grind through them. Or at least don’t let them wreck the whole season if an early loss.

Yeah, I was rooting for Kansas to make a run at a playoff spot this year but the wheels have fallen off already. Daniels has been a massive disappointment. Too bad, I really like their running game

Will be interesting to see where Illinois sits in a month. Their next 5:
@Nebraska
@PSU
BYE
Purdue
Michigan
@Oregon

So they have two BYEs in a row.

That makes zero sense. Playing 1 game against UGA is not the same as playing a game against UGA, Ole Miss, Mizzou, UTjr, etc. You know that. You are just being obtuse.

FWIW, if you look at my posts last year, I acknowledge we caught a break with the schedule. We had 4 easy games. Then 4 mid-games and then the only 2 or 3 tough games at the end. It was what it was and it made it easier for us to stay undefeated.

Look, you caught a break on scheduling. That's good for you. Quit fighting it and making shit up.

For fuck sake, use your critical thinking skills. Going through the SEC schedule is going to be tougher for TX and OU than the B12. There are just better players, better and deeper teams, etc. That doesn't mean they shouldn't beat the mid-teams. And, TX got the easiest schedule in the SEC by dodging 4 of the top 5 teams. All that can be true if you use your brain.

Which schedule would you rather play:

- TX - UGA, OU, @ATM, Kentucky, Michigan
- OU - UTjr, TX, @Ole Miss, @Mizzou, @LSU, Bama

Seriously, tell me you would rather have OUs schedule. This isn't hard if you just try to understand what I am trying to point out.

The only person that is doing this right in response is @Thiefery ... he has Sankey giving him a hummer and decades of domination. He knows TX got a break with the schedule and basically says, great, let's use it to get to a natty.
 
I'll go out on a limb and say if OU can win or lose a close, well played game against Tennessee, then Texas better hold on to its ass. Teams that keep getting better are hard to beat. I've seen Texas do the same thing in the RRSO. Only a fool gets cocky going into Dallas unless the other team is obviously so banged up it's a foregone conclusion they can't compete. I hope OU and Texas are both healthy and play their very best game. Oh yeah, that would be fun to watch.
