Week 10 Marquee Games

K-State lost their last 2 games to OU 55-0 and to a terrible Texas team 23-9.  Things were so bad for K-State that the coach wrote an apology letter to the fans.  

 

Baylor won tonight against that same team by 7 points with a +3 turnover margin.  Since I dumbed it down for you, do you think this win impresses the committee?

Yeah you need to dumb it down for me.  Because I had no idea what you were talking about.  Conversely, I have no doubt you actually do have NO idea what we are talking about.  Because of the sad little world you scamper around in, it probably seems normal.  

There are a litany of bad losses or unimpressive wins for all conferences.  But the committee justified the Bama win in part based on the FPI.  You know, that poll where the Big 12 (I.e., the conference that inhabits your dome) possesses the top 3 spots.  And the poll where Baylor is ranked #1. 

It is comical though.  Same thing last year - sec dominated the early polls and you jumped from thread to thread, slobbering all over yourself with pride because I guess you felt a vicarious accomplishment for aggy.  So again, congrats little buddy

IF Baylor wins out (OSU, TCU) they will be in the Top 4.

An unbeaten Big 12 team will get in.  OU would be iffy even though have been playing well lately.  

OU is OU.  They win out, they are in.  The human element of the committee will always favor the marquee teams.  Not fair, but it's the way it works.  Premier historical programs will get preference over little sister schools.

The real bottom line is that UT will not be in the playoffs again this year. Therefore, I am not real concerned with who gets screwed.

Never have been, never will be a "conference" guy. 

I'm with you.  Never dated my cousins either.  Maybe both are a product of having one's eyes set too close together.

    • First pitch about to be in the books.
    • Chester will be the home team tonight.  Neches Tigers will be the visitors.
    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
