How 'bout them Longhorns?!!

I had high hopes for your horns this year after last season, but lets face it, they've been a disappointment. The loss to LSU wasn't so bad, but now 2 losses and barely squeaking by Kansas while giving up 48 points doesn't look good. After last years bowl win over GA and holding them to 21 points, I expected them to be playoff contenders.

 

Neither of you has played anybody, and Clemson damn near lost to one of those nobodies.

 

Let’s get this thread back on track of horns down.

Texas also couldn’t have a more crappy human as a coach. Tom Herman was the offensive coordinator at Iowa State and in the process, while also being married, knocked up a recruiting coed and was generally a conceited POS with his general interaction and behavior in Ames. Ames is a small town of 65,000 or so and it doesn’t take long for someone’s behavior to become public as they treat others in the community like crap as he did.

Then while at Ohio State he exhibited much of the same behavior as witnessed by the melt down tweeting of a fellow coach Zach Smith and tails of cheating and strip clubs and doing co-Ed’s etc. so congrats Texas, your head coach is a real life POS human being and crappy person.

Well, in the horns defense, both losses were to teams ranked higher than them, LSU, OU

 

Ummm the SEC teams play other SEC teams every year since that appears to be the measure you want to use. What conference does Clemson play in again? I am no fan of Alabama’s, but all of these top teams should not be playing a Wofford or a New Mexico State.

 

Sure they play other SEC teams but just like all the other P5 conferences with the exception of the Big12, they don’t play every team in their own conference which creates two things. 1. They can schedule a cupcake team. 2. Depending on the conference schedule, don’t have to play the toughest teams in their own conference.

conclusion: outside of bama. The SEC is over rated.

 

Who in the country has a better resume than LSU?

 

The SEC is legit no doubt. LSU, Auburn and Florida play a brutal schedule. Notice how they schedule meaningful cross conference and out of division games? LSU played Texas. Hell, Auburn opened their season with Oregon.

 

Ouch.

      We already play 10 P5 games every year (9 conference games plus Iowa). Maybe the @SEC should play 9 conference games like the @Big12Conference

 

LSU ain't no damn joke this year. Right now I've got them #1.

 

He he, Hook 'em Horns, He He

 

Actually Texas is pretty damn good. If they win out ain't no reason they couldn't be in the top 8 at seasons end even with 2 losses.

 

Possibly. But you can’t deny them scheduling a bunch of cupcakes with the exception of UT. So basically three additional bye weeks.
LSU this year- 4 OOC games- Georgia Southern, Northwestern State, Utah State and Texas.

oh and this:
A couple of weeks ago, ESPN writer Bill Connelly suggested SEC should drop its divisional format.
He cited examples of how infrequently some teams meet:

• Auburn and Florida have played each other only once in the past 11 seasons.
• Georgia is playing A&M for first time as a conference opponent this year.
• LSU doesn’t play at Missouri until 2023, 11 years after A&M and Missouri joined SEC.

He added, "This barely qualifies as a conference."

DUDE. LSU has the best resume and best wins of any playoff contender. Having beaten Texas and Florida already, over the next 3 weeks they play top 10 Auburn and Alabama. Even if they lose one of those games, they still have the best resume in college football.

They schedule a serious OOC season opener every year. Texas, Oregon, Miami (when they were good a few years ago) to name a few.

I agree with you SEC divisions and permanent opponents need major overhaul, but if you think LSU plays cupcakes you haven't watched enough college football. Who has Clemson played? Alabama? C'mon man

 

Clemson AD was in talks with them yesterday.

 

Outside of 2 seasons, Auburn has been an 8-4 team since Malzahn took over.

Cupcakes: Georgia Southern, Northwestern State, Utah State
LSU plays all three of them this season.

 

If South Carolina gets that #2 QB back, and bring that defense that played GA the other day, they could beat Clemson. No shit. That defense was LIT!

 

Will Muschamp is Clemsons secret weapon.

Not every opponent will be ranked, for any school. So now let's look at who has played more ranked opponents than LSU. I'll hang up and listen.....
