I think the Big 12 is definitely down, but they beat everyone in it by 4 TD's except when their QB1 was unavailable. They are going to be a really tough out for someone.

---

Their Qb1 was unavailable that loss but the back-up still had 3 TDs and their defense that game gave up more yards to ASU than Miss State did.

Their D is definitely good but feasted on some really bad teams.

They remind me of the OU teams that emerged from the Big XII with a "devastating defense" .

Those OU teams went 0-4 and the only close game was a 54-48 OT loss to Georgia.

They lost those games on average 50-32.

The Big XII is really really bad this year.

Am I seeing this wrong?

TCU beat Michigan when only 4 teams were invited to Dance before being blown out.

Best hold on to the incredulity until the home team prevails against an ACC team that has two unranked losses before making the same round as Tech.

Edit: Not sure how that emoji popped up but it's probably related to irritating butt dials.
Mia culpa.

We can make fun or analyze other teams the way we want.

We don't need to hold onto our incredulity until we beat a team that lost to unranked teams to get to Tech's level.

So many A&M put downs that I know you must be a fan of another team. Go get on your own team's forum.

He's been here forever.

He's a known sip

Dude, you have punked the Ags all season, and now you jump on to punk another team.

Vacuum my ass, in my humble opinion, 4 is the dumbest number you could ever do.

WTF are you going on about?

I agree with the comparison. The problem with evaluating Tceh is their body of work this season. OOC against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State and Oregon State - all garbage. In conference they run up wins against a bunch of hacks plus two to three average teams. This year, they'd finish somewhere in the 7-11 range in the SEC. They're going to get smoked in the playoffs.

There are zero teams in the bottom half of either the Big 10 or SEC that would win the Big XII.

Okay. If I could pat your head I would.

A team that didn't make it, was hugely disappointing, and could have been easily discovered on my profile even if you weren't well read on other threads.

At least I support the site.

So many people love to cling to their lifelong narratives… Tech is good and will continue to be good for the foreseeable future. They are committed to winning and have a blank check to make that happen, just what you need in the NIL era. They have also made political inroads in the college football space, something us Ags simply have not been able to do and it's killing me inside.

Miami could beat us by 50 points and that doesn't change the fact that tech hasn't played a decent program all season and their results are a direct result of that fact.

---

If Tech and Miami played each other I'm not sure who I'd pick, but I'm dubious Miami deserves more credit for squeaking by ND at home while dropping two sketchy games to Tech's one while the Raiders blew out almost everyone in arguably a better conference.

A&M would be favored against either and absolutely cruised through an SEC sked plus an elite OOC win with the sole blemish a meaningless (in the big picture) loss to Texas before the playoffs.

I was kind of hoping you guys would catch Bama or OU.

If it can happen to Indiana it can happen to Tech. Oregon may get the best of Tech much like Notre Dame did last year when they played Indiana, but Cody Campbell and his money aren't going away. Neither is James Blanchard and his knack for targeting successful transfers. Look at where Indiana is this year and look at where Tech could be in year 2. You're comparing Tech to how it was back when A&M was in the Big XII and both teams aren't even remotely the same thing. Tech has the most decorated defensive player in the country. You couldn't say that 15 years ago or even ever.

For the record IU's OOC schedule this year was garbage also.

Yes.


Exactly what is this based on- teams frim several years ago?

You seem unaware that the NIL era has changed the landscape. Hell, a couple years ago when Tech was a 5 loss team, thry lost to Oregon on a last minute FG . Oregon went 11-1.

Completely different team now, but they've been building this.

Tech will be in the finals vs Georgia (wish it were us) and will probably win it all

AggieNattie said:

---

Their defense is legit, but winning the Big 12 isn't something that should be as highly valued as the committee is making it.

Oregon has the chance to throttle them to where it's a blowout by halftime

---

If Tech's D is legit, how do you get to a blowout by half time? Conflicting statements. If they get killed by Oregon their D was never legit. I think this one is a close game personally but not a game I'd want to bet on because there's not enough data on Tech against a really good team.

Problem with the XII and other conferences is the lack of quality depth in overall teams. Vandy is the 7th best team in the SEC. Mizzou 8th. Tennessee or LSU 9th. Those are solid opponents particularly on the road. Furthermore, a team should be tested in a conference championship game with someone better than BYU.

TCU came out hot, and should get some attaboys for that. Michigan adjusted, but were down a lot of points by then. However as it continued, you could see the shift, and TCU ended up winning in the end because Michigan shot themselves in the foot about 10 times in the second half.

Final score ended up being close.
Michigan gave it away. TCU certainly didnt take it.

And then Georgia didn't do anything overly special to blow out TCU

Think you won the thread. That doesn't mean I believe Oregon is all that great. They really haven't beaten anyone great either.

But Tech's schedule is really weak. And I've only watched a small bit of their games; that defense doesn't pass the eyeball test with me. Look ferocious against a BYU. Those linebackers and DL will wilt against a top 10 team. Just don't see the right type of athletes to compete.

Everyone said Oregon was going to throttle Indiana.

Then they said the same about Ohio State.

I'm not saying I think tech is going to win the championship (or even their first game) OR that anything said here isn't possible/likely. But some of these comments look very familiar and are made by those who haven't actually seen tech play.

How many here that are dissing tech have watched even three of their games in full?

(And I'm the LAST person in the world who would defend that "school," but let's not make fools out of selves due to personal animosity -- and that's a large part of this whether you want to admit it or not).

I guess anything can happen but there is zero evidence to support this statement.

Exhibit A: Arizona State

Oregon will roll in the Orange Bowl…

Watched enough of their games against BYU (twice), Utah and Az State to remain thoroughly unimpressed. BYU is not nearly as good as many try to make them. Similar with Utah, a game that was very much up in the air until mid-way through the 4th quarter. They lost at Az State, a team that moved the ball very effectively against that "vaunted" defense, giving up drives of 62, 66, 69 and a game-clenching 75 yarder at the end of the game. The rest of their games were against tomato cans. The more I look at it, the more I think Oregon runs a train on Tceh.

This playoff committee is a joke.
Ole piss gets a rematch with ****ing Tulane. We get a tougher opponent only because sip won a rivalry game and lsu went to *****
Snaky has pulled it again for next year by giving the sips a better home schedule and our schedule in October and November is brutal.

same team that beat TT? Or was that a different ASU?

How many of you experts putting your paycheck all on Oregon?

They have one of the easiest playoff paths. If they choke its because of how overrated they are.

Likely first game against #5, and likely second game against #1?

Okay my dude. Whatever you say.

Big 12 is the second best conference top to bittom. Big 10 is good at the top, but would probably go 7-9 vs the B12.

The anti/B12 bias is strong here with some

See Bolded. Well in that case your strongly worded opinion is worthless. How can one determine a viable eye test if they admittedly watched only a small 'bit' ? Weird.
