osu2 continues to have a tragic week….extending to the hoops team. Just wow.

lol. What is this? Is Oregon being punished for being the new kid on the block? Harmon basically lived in the backfield the entire year - 3rd team? Matayo - Leads conference in sacks - 2nd team? 🤮

I think it is very likely and almost a done deal that the 5 seed is going to get some combination of the BIG-12 winner and Mountain West winner in the first and second rounds. The benefit of being the 5 seed is that you potentially have the easiest path to the semifinals, even though you have to play an extra game. You are going to have to beat the best eventually anyways to win the whole thing, so I sure hope Oregon wins on Saturday. But if for some reason they don’t, it’s probably not the end of the world. I think that last SEC team will end up as the 11 seed, but we shall see. I would also love to beat Alabama. My niece is in school there right now. 😎

They probably still have osu2 No. 1 in their rankings.

There is one stat that truly outlines how big of an upgrade Lanning was from Cristobal. Cristobal lost to 4 unranked conference opponents in three years at Oregon. Lanning lost to 0 unranked conference opponents in three years at Oregon.

Yeah. Thinking South Carolina probably did enough to get the last spot, but we will see on Tuesday.

I think the interesting story line this week is who is going to be ranked 11 and be the last at-large team in the field prior to CCG week. The three candidates that I see are Miami, Alabama, and South Carolina. Miami - Can Miami really be in the field with 2 losses to unranked teams (should have been at least 4) and no ranked wins. If they are, something is seriously wrong with the process. Alabama - Will Alabama get the nod based on past history? They are in slightly better position than Miami, even with the additional loss. South Carolina - Took 3 early losses, but have been on an absolute roll since about the middle of October. In that time they have racked up 3 wins against teams in the CFP Top 25. IMO, South Carolina is the team that deserves this last spot. Question - If Clemson wins the ACC Championship is SMU safely in? IMO, they should be.

He was WIDE OPEN on that second series. If Gabriel sees him, he’s probably still running.

Need to put another score on them before half.

Wow. Miami continues to be a team that is very undisciplined. That was a huge penalty that probably held them to 3 on that drive. And just like that, they essentially lose the game on a stupid penalty. We are so lucky Mario left and we ended up with Dan.

Agree with this. You are still in the playoffs, so I don’t see them firing Day right now. However, a first round exit in the playoff might do it. He better win a couple games.

Wow. GT leaving points on the table on multiple possessions, but still up 10-0.

I agree too. In no case should a team that made it to the conference championship be penalized for losing that game ( in terms of not getting in). If you are in before the game, you should be in after, regardless of the result.

Did a much better job on the glass today, which was good to see.

I’ll go a step further and say that Georgia should be No. 3. I would bet Georgia against ND, Miami, and Penn State. And we know how they faired against Texas.

Agree. I think the biggest issue right now is rebounding. If they can get that fixed, they will be hard to beat. Shooting will come around as they play more together.

ASU was picked to finish dead last in the Big-12. If they beat AZ, give that man his award.

If Oregon wins the CCG, do you think tOSU will stay at 5? Might give the committee a good excuse to drop them one spot to a 6.

Someone needs to remind Paul that the SEC is 2-5 against OOC Power 4 teams with winning records. That sounds closer to a bunch of Indianas than total dominance. As an Oregon fan, the only SEC team I am worried about is Georgia.

Uh oh. Let’s hope he doesn’t go into full “River Boat” Dan mode for this game against Washington. 🤣

IMO, this is the issue with the current situation. In my opinion, A&M is not the second best team in the SEC. They are probably the 5th best, with the second easiest schedule in the conference (behind Texas).

Plus it overlaps with the Oregon vs Creighton hoop game

Right now, it looks to me that three teams are separating themselves from the rest of the pack. Those teams are Oregon, tOSU, and Georgia. Texas could be in that group too, but we won’t know until the playoff because of their trash schedule. Hopefully those 4 teams all don’t end up on one side of the bracket. However, I am not holding my breath.

I vote for Georgia too. With that schedule, losing to a couple good teams in understandable.

I stopped reading the article once I saw that the so called Texas SOS is ahead of every team in the BIG, despite losing to the only ranked team they have played by multiple scores and only beating one team with a winning record. Classic case of garbage in / garbage out, IMO.
