There is LOT happening in the world of college football these days. Some of the most important things in the history of college football have happened in the past few weeks, and NOT been commented on here. I have a couple of places I can go for political debate. I have NOWHERE else I go for meaningful college football discussion. From here on out, I plan to refrain from ANY political discussion here. This is no surrender. I still think most liberals are mentally ill people. But, I want someplace to talk FOOTBALL. Texas has to play @ Michigan in September... then UGA in Austin.. and, A&M on the last game of the season. Yet, Texas is currently the 2nd favorite to win the SEC Conference title, behind UGA. I like our chances... but, that's a ROUGH schedule. Ohio State is the favorite to win the B1G Conference title... but, still at +125 odds.... I'm wondering if that is not a great bet?

Another way of looking at it, Bevo : Those 3 opponents you mentioned ( Mich, UGA & TA&M ) represent 25 % of Texas' schedule strength.
Colorado St., UTSA, and La-Monroe also represent 25 % of the Texas schedule strength.

Well, in the past … one loss was enough to keep Texas out of the CFP. I guess that’s changed now.
I wonder how many we can lose now? 3? 4?

Just checked the Auburn schedule, I guess this is the year of expansion? No LSU on the schedule?
I can’t remember being less interested in a season. I might not watch a single game.

tOSU schedule is relatively week especially OOC. I feel that Oregon and PSU will be are toughest challenges by far. I think we will roll through the rest of the schedule. Texas should handle ttun with relative ease. Lost a boat load to graduation and the new coach should keep ttun in the tier 2 level of the B10. I think SEC comes down to UGA Texas game.
I saw the CFP playoff odds. Based on that ND is in and all other at large teams will come from the B10 and SEC.

It was all P5 conference Champs, plus some at-large.. including highest ranked G5. But, we don’t really have a P5 anymore. More like a P2.

This is from the Vegas Insider and current odds that averages 6 different betting sites has the following
1* Georgia Bulldogs 2* Ohio State Buckeyes 3 Texas Longhorns 4 Oregon Ducks 5 Alabama Crimson Tide 6 Ole Miss Rebels 7 LSU Tigers 8* Florida State Seminoles 9 Penn State Nittany Lions 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 17*Utah 44*Boise St
If this were the case FSU and Utah get the 3 and 4 seed with the bye. ttun would have been the team that got shafted but then again they should not even be eligible. BTW what ever happened to spy gate.

Tigers open in ATL against Georgia.
Then Appy, NCST and Stanford at home.
On the road for FSU and Wake, then back home for Louisville and UVA.
Roadies with VT and Pitt, back home for in state finish with CIT and SCAR.
