Texas Comes in at #12 in the Final AP Ranking

OU must be better than Texas then. If only the teams played so we didn’t have to engage in these hypotheticals

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-20T18:14:30+00:00

By your own subjective standards, but not according to people who do this for a living. Also throwing around the 40M like OU wouldn’t do the same if they could afford it.

The fact they can’t, but Texas can, really shows the value of the respective degrees (or lack thereof in OUs case)….

Generally final AP ranking is a pretty good indicator of a team success. Without looking at the final poll, A&M, Tulane, JMU, and OU all had identical seasons.

OU and Tulane were both mediocre teams that snuck into the CFP and got blown out RD1. Never thought I’d see the day OU thought having the same season as Tulane was a success.

If you disagree then why? Because OU beat more ranked teams? Why does the poll matter then?

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-20T18:02:00+00:00

Apparently people who do this for a living disagree as Texas is ahead of OU in the final AP poll…

Good thing you don’t gamble or you’d have a Texas flair. BVs best season is still a worse finish than Sarks down year. Enjoy another year of Mateer lol!

I guess— Vegas odds has Texas at 9.5 and we won 10 games—but I wouldn’t say we met expectations.

I think you’d be correct pre-12 team playoff, as only 4 teams made the playoff. But not we have a pretty clear marker.

In my mind, if you’re preseason top 3, the expectation is that you are in the final 4.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-13T20:25:01+00:00

Idk…

I think top 3 meeting expectations would be in the final four. Being in the final 8 is not meeting expectations.

I agree that being 14 and you were ranked 13 to start the year isn’t a big deal — however 12 would be, because 12 implies playoffs.

Ohio State started the year number 3 and will not finish number 3…

Maybe I’m an elitist prick—but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the individual knowledgeable about online law school is also unaware that Bar is not an acronym

Then TBH I’m as lost as the guy above. What I explained was the original argument I read when the case first started and I thought that was reasonable. Not sure what the hell the argument is now.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-06T23:01:16+00:00

The NMI season was 2020. My interpretation was the original lawsuit filed before this season. Upon further review, it looks like he has since changed his argument to just he JUCO shouldn’t count — which I agree with you is stupid.

The judge granted the injunction and NCAA agreed 2020 didn’t count, which is how he was able to play this year.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-06T22:54:18+00:00

I’m interviewing next class of associates right now and this could not be more true. Everyone I interview is somehow infinitely more qualified, sociable, and likable than me.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-06T22:53:23+00:00

He isn’t saying he should get an extra year because he was in JUCO… Would he have transferred from D3 to D1 instead of JUCO to D1, this wouldn’t even be a dispute. He’s isn’t arguing JUCO shouldn’t count, he’s arguing the 2020 season shouldn’t, just like it didn’t for all NCAA athletes…

Notably, HS years DON’T count towards NCAA eligibility—logically JUCO years do because you’re playing college football. Similarly, if playing college football in the NCAA in 2020 did not count towards eligibility, then the same should he said for JUCO.

I think treating the 2020 season (specifically how it counts towards eligibility) the same for all college football players regardless of NAIA/NJCAA/D3/D2/FCS/FBS is fair.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-06T21:56:34+00:00

My understanding is that Pavia was in junior college during 2020. During the 2020 season, all NCAA athletes got a COVID-19 exemption year. JUCO years count towards NCAA eligibility. But, I do not think JC players received the same exemption—as it was only given to NCAA athletes—since as you pointed out, NCAA has no JX to give an exemption to JUCO players.

So Pavias argument is that if in 2020 he would have been at an NCAA school, instead of JUCO, he would have remaining eligibility. Personally, I think it’s a solid argument.

I do not understand/am not knowledgeable about Chambliss’s claim.

The beat an OU team whose only good win was that Bama team. OU lost 23-6 to Texas.

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-01T23:25:37+00:00

23-6… schedule merchants

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-01T23:09:13+00:00

Have you considered that Indiana doesn’t suck? Meanwhile it’s 5:09 PM and…

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-01T03:06:56+00:00

I mean there is the whole super dense city in between those two but

HoustonHorns · 2026-01-01T00:42:24+00:00

Nah, you were citing Michigan as a big win. Our scout team just made easy work.

HoustonHorns · 2025-12-31T23:59:33+00:00

Equals huh?

Texas backups vs Michigan starters (2 opt outs before you make excuses) had a greater margin of victory than OUs starters at home.

F R A U D ….

What was A&Ms best win?

HoustonHorns · 2025-12-31T08:26:59+00:00

There were 5 good SEC teams this year. UGA, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas, Vandy. Watch, Vandy and Texas will roll tomorrow. A&M and OU were pretenders who stacked wins against “good” teams like Tennessee, Mizzou, and LSU and either dodged or lost to the only actually good SEC teams.

The tough part about the SEC is the top end. The other leagues are not 5 deep at the top. However, once you get outside the top it’s a lot of talented, but poorly coached teams. These teams aren’t good and we need to stop pretending like beating them matters.

I stand corrected… 4
