re: This team is approaching 95 Nebraska/01 Miami/19 LSU territory with these arse beatings
Posted by OvertheDwayneBowe on 1/9/26 at 11:19 pm to lsupride87
That is what will be difficult about measuring the different eras of football.
The 95 Nebraska team would have rolled through a 12-team playoff, giving them two more top 10 wins.
2019 LSU similarly would have had no problem beating the 8/9-seed (Would have been Wisconsin or Florida).
It's also going to be different because it only happened once that a 3-loss team could have finished the season ranked #2 (2007 had LSU lost to Ohio State). Now we have that possibility in year 2.

So it’s a totally different situation for the guy making $100k and wife making $50k. And that’s going to be your more common scenario.
ETA: I now see another poster has already brought up this scenario..
Yeah, people are talking like a 10-20k difference in family salary is manageable to live without, but to a lot of Americans, that's the difference of making rent or not.

Hot takes
1. Coaching matters. See Sam Darnold after his time as the 59ers vs before.
2. QB has to be good to win.
3. GMs making the right picks and trades. See Seattle for a while with Schnider (sp?)and now Jacksonville in just 1 year.
4. Dline matters. If you dont have a pass rush you are screwed. See 49ers without Bosa or the Eagles and Texans with that talent just neutralizes everything. Hell the Brown only win anything because of the dline.
You forgot about "winning the war in the trenches."

Or a lot of us realize you can't be great in 5 sports in the NIL era.
LSU is choosing football, baseball, and WBB. There just isn't enough money to go around to pay for a top tier coach, staff, and players in all these sports, and other programs are coming to similar realizations.

It cost them a spot in the playoff when they would have a legit chance to win it.
The thing is there's no real basis for this opinion. It's based off of ND blowing out Navy and a mid-October win vs USC.
Nothing else on their schedule is noteworthy.

You have a FG all but guaranteed. You run a play there that gives you the best chance of scoring. Plain and simple.
And we all knew and were right that a FG giving OM one minute was a loss for UGA in regulation.
A screen pass or a run play probably had about the same chance to score as the play UGA ran. But it also guarantees OT at worst.
It's really percentages.
30% chance for a TD with a minute left. 20% chance that OM scores a TD and wins if it works. 70% chance OM wins in regulation with a FG if it doesn't.
Or 20% chance for a run/screen for a TD and 90% chance for OT if it misses.

Ole Miss wasn't beating UGA without Kiffin either.
This has set up perfectly for OM. Chambliss can legitimately will them to a win vs Miami then you just need to figure out one win.

The Big-10 is about to go 7-0 and very likely to have 2 teams playing in the natty, making it 3 in a row for them.
There’s no real good explanation for this. Even with NIL the complete flipping of the script by the Big-10 is remarkable.
The Big 10 is certainly better than they used to be, but I'd feel pretty confident that LSU/Tenn/Mizzou could have won a bowl game vs CMU or New Meixco.
Bowl records never mattered, but it's even worse now because of the lopsided matchups and opt-outs. The B10 played 4 games vs G4 teams so far.
Even the Alamo Bowl is the #4 B10 team vs the #9 B12 team.

Trying to figure out when that happened and why
Kelly was disliked at ND and then we hired him.
Kiffin is pretty disliked across the board as someone who bails on his team at the drop of a hat at the next bigger opportunity. And then we hired him and proved them right.
Generally, people will want to see us not succeed with Kiffin, then him jump to the NFL or another school.

Great breakdown. Green was covered up but stayed in to block. No foul.
I don’t know how the officials huddled for 5 minutes to discuss and couldn’t figure that out.
Also should be able to be reviewed. Would have taken 10 seconds.
It's worse.
This was the formation the offense was in, and had motion to swap Green and Sharp. So that means the refs huddled together for 2 minutes to discuss this, and that's all they remembered. None of them paid attention that they moved in the formation, and didn't call up for help.

Pre-snap, Green is covered up, yes.
This is where Green ends up when MVB is throwing the ball.
That's 6 ineligible players, all 6 behind the LOS.

The real difference in the game was UH’s ability to control the ball.
Houston played nearly a perfect game. Zero turnovers, only 4 penalties.
LSU played a mistake-riddled game that you would expect from a bad head coach like Frank Wilson. That's why Houston won.
Ramos missed his 2nd FG of the year from under 45 yards.
LSU facemask turned a 4th and 16 FG attempt for Houston into a 1st and Goal, and eventual TD.
Wilson himself turned a 1st and 10 from the 14 for Houston with 9 seconds left into 1st and goal from the 7. It's not unreasonable to think that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty cost LSU 4 points.
LSU was also unlucky. That unexplained ineligible receiver call turned a likely FG attempt into a punt (this call is also what allowed Houston to score a TD before halftime).

Good on them.
The writing has been on the wall for decades. The Rose Bowl took itself far too seriously after the BCS started to the point where almost no one cared about it.
It's really good marketing by Pop Tarts. A sentence I didn't think I'd be saying regarding a football game.

This was expected to be a really bad Saints team.
Do a look back at the season. Saints had the ball with a chance to win/tie vs Arizona, SF, NE, and Miami.
They have a ways to go before they can regularly compete against good playoff teams, but that wasn't even a thought in anyone's mind in August.

If I were Oklahoma, I’d be hitting the portal for a QB1. Mateer has single handily lost them this game. And that’s taking nothing from Bama for fighting back like they did. But Mateer flat sucks.
I'm conflicted. He hit a WR in the hands to go up 24-7. WR drops it, and the game just turned on its head after the punter inexplicably just drops the ball.
Mateer played well enough through the first 26 minutes to win this game outright.
