What? No accompanying trash talk about how Hawkins Jr can whip Texas?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Rushing him back shows what they think about Ole Hawkins. But then, Mateer's presence on the roster at all already shows OU felt they needed a better qb than what they had...

As much as I hate to say it, we need OK (as well as Mizzu and A&M) to start eating some losses

I may have to hold my nose and secretly hope Tejas finds a way to pull this one out

Fortunately, the Volunteers will have a chance to give OK a loss.

playoff teams in the SEC will be Ole Miss, Bama, Texas A&M Georgia and OU

The SEC is not sending 6 teams in. Not to mention, these teams play each other. Texas already has 2 losses. Bama and UGA already have 1 loss.

Not sure about Georgia. I’ve got a good feeling that Georgia Tech gets revenge for that heartbreaker last year. Texas A&M is a good dark horse pick, but if their offense doesn’t get going, I don’t see them making the CFP yet.

Ole Miss I’m not fully sold on either. I think they’re definitely good, but I just don’t buy them as a playoff team this year. They should’ve lost to Arkansas.

There aren’t enough spots for 5 teams. It will be 4 max. Someone is getting left out.

Big Ten: 3 or 4
SEC: 3 or 4
ACC: 2 (soft schedules)
Big 12: 1
Group of 5: 1
Notre Dame at 10-2

Gimme someone to cheer for. Texas wins and knocks OU behind us? OK wins and stays undefeated coming into Neyland perhaps? Hard to cheer for Texas….

No. we want OU to win.

2 reasons - Knocks Texas out as a 3 loss team and keeps OU undefeated and one game closer to us being ranked as high as possible.

We want OU undefeated coming into Neyland.

Not sure if serious….

Oklahoma was gonna smash Texas without Mateeer....surprised there's not been a correction in the spread yet

It's early to say OU is one of those teams in. Their next 7 games are against 5 ranked teams within the top 15, with 2 of them on the road at Knoxville and Tuscaloosa.

A&M has the easier path, but their known to slip and fall at the most inopportune times.

Mateer or no, I don't see Manning faring well against that defense. OU reminds me of our team last season with that killer defense. Not super confident in our offense against them either to be quite honest.
