Good stuff.. but the “assuming favorites hold” isn’t gonna happen

Miami oh vs Auburn would be awesome

Vand played better today. Nobody could stop miles. And, Burg played almost as much as Boswell but looked over his head. Id hope Boswell would have played more and defended Miles better. Plus, if Ament were as aggressive in the first half as the second, that alone could have won us the game.

Texas is out, imo

Not Oklahoma, they needed to win against Arkansas, imo

I think so too but will be closer than you think

SMU, Auburn, Oklahoma, and the MWC schools are right on the cusp I think...any could be in or out and I wouldn't be surprised
