Imagine losing to Arch Manning in 2025.

Couldn’t be me ☕️

u/LOLteacher Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Hehe. Your goddamned RB was Emmitt Smith reincarnate. Is he back next season?

2

u/Smooth-Majudo-15 Florida Gators • Notre Dame Fighting Irish Nov 29 '25

He could come back but hard to say with a new coach incoming. My guess is that he’s probably gone, which of course would make me sad

3

u/steampunker14 Texas Longhorns • Army Black Knights Nov 29 '25

I hope we throw infinite money at him lmao. He was a one man wrecking crew.

And he had Dallas Wilson, another one man wrecking crew catching the ball.

We’re good for one of those types of games per year. It just happened to be you guys this time

u/monkey-d-chopper Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

This hurts on a night I was feeling so good

u/Smooth-Majudo-15 Florida Gators • Notre Dame Fighting Irish Nov 29 '25

I was just replying to the guy’s comment. Celebrate the win over the Aggies, yall played great tonight

u/monkey-d-chopper Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Oh all good my man. Was just making a joke as well

u/FlagrantTwoFoul Wisconsin Badgers Nov 29 '25

Everyone seems to forget Texas lost to a 3-8 Florida team.

Its not the Ohio St loss thats hurting them.

u/zerocoolforschool Oregon Ducks • Portland State Vikings Nov 29 '25

Bama and Texas are really pushing the “what happens in Florida stays in Florida” narrative.

2

u/Shearerr Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 29 '25

The state has had a weird year of football, college and NFL

1

u/moffattron9000 Team Chaos • Sickos Nov 29 '25

To be fair to Bama, they've looked like an elite team outside of that. Texas has the millstone around their necks that is that double overtime against Kentucky and needing a miraculous comeback against Mississippi State.

3

u/YOLO420allday Nov 29 '25

Hey hey hey hey hey.

It was single overtime against Kentucky 

105

u/wit_T_user_name Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats Nov 29 '25

And went to overtime with Kentucky. They’ve not looked great for a big chunk of the year.

12

u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green Nov 29 '25

If we don’t make it it’s our own fault for Florida. But no one else has three top 10 wins this year either… so it’s odd

1

u/ClaudeLemieux Michigan Wolverines • NC State Wolfpack Nov 29 '25

TAMU, OU, and ?

1

u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green Nov 29 '25

Vandy

2

u/ClaudeLemieux Michigan Wolverines • NC State Wolfpack Nov 29 '25

Oh we’re doing the ranked-at-time-of-game thing

1

u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green Nov 29 '25

I mean that’s how it works, you don’t do retrospectively

1

u/ClaudeLemieux Michigan Wolverines • NC State Wolfpack Nov 29 '25

Vanderbilt fans probably are pretty thrilled they have a playoff resume lock with wins over #11 USC, #10 LSU, and #15 Missouri then

-1

u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green Nov 29 '25

They better win today, but that’s how you count top ten wins man. You look at the rank at the time of the game, not at the end of the season… don’t know what to tell you, that’s how it’s always worked

And Mississippi State

u/Bank_Gothic Sewanee Tigers • Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Im honestly proud of both those games. Necessary growing pay.

u/CzarCW Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Hey, Kentucky’s got hands

3

u/steampunker14 Texas Longhorns • Army Black Knights Nov 29 '25

People forget they basically did the same thing to UGA last year. Lexington is where clean wins go to die.

21

u/Objection_Irrelevant Ole Miss Rebels • Billable Hours Nov 29 '25

While true, it’s also true that if they played Ohio instead of Ohio State, then they’d be 10-2 and likely #10 even with that bad Florida loss.

-9

u/bobdownie Nov 29 '25

Or they could have lost to Ohio and been unranked. You can’t beat a team you didn’t play.

9

u/Objection_Irrelevant Ole Miss Rebels • Billable Hours Nov 29 '25

Okay then replace them with whoever you consider the worst FCS team, because Texas didn’t play one so that’s a simple switch. Still think we can’t assume a win?

-1

u/Ramartin95 Baylor Bears • Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

This Texas team was destined to be UMass’ one win of the year. 

6

u/ImaManCheetahh Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Literally no one has forgotten this lmao

13

u/HornedCoog91 Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

"everyone seems to forget"

Lmao it's literally all y'all wanna talk about, while dismissing the entire rest of the resume. Cannot be serious lol

5

u/omaixa Texas Longhorns • Georgia Bulldogs Nov 29 '25

No one on r/cfb ever forgets a Texas loss.

26

u/Relevant_Ad_1225 Texas Tech Red Raiders Nov 29 '25

also acting like they didn’t need OT against Kentucky and Miss St lol

4

u/MysteriousEdge5643 Washington Huskies • College Football Playoff Nov 29 '25

this is Bama losing to Vandy and Oklahoma all over again

5

u/throwawaygiusto1 Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Oh I’m aware. Not expecting to get in.

4

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '25

That’s the thing, the Ohio State loss IS hurting them. If Texas played Samford (Like A&M did) instead of Ohio State, they’re 10-2 and it isn’t even a question if they’re in the playoffs or not.

If the committee leaves out Texas this year, I promise you they’ll cancel their OOC teams and just start playing exclusively cupcakes.

9

u/O-Namazu Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

In our defense, Billy Napier with his job on the line is a stronger coach than Saban and Belichick combined

1

u/The_Fluffy_Robot TCU Horned Frogs • Iron Skillet Nov 29 '25

then why didn't Napier win more games lol

-1

u/miniadu3 Texas A&M Aggies Nov 29 '25

Wasn't a problem for us 🤷‍♂️

17

u/B33rcules Texas Longhorns • SEC Nov 29 '25

Hmm.. if only we could settle this on the field..

11

u/CptnNinja Texas Longhorns • Swansea Titans Nov 29 '25

Lol you of all people do not get to rub that loss in our face

6

u/apathynext Texas Longhorns • Rutgers Scarlet Knights Nov 29 '25

BUt the argument remains. Schedule Indiana’s OOC and the Florida game doesn’t matter. Why should anyone play hard OOC teams if there is only downside? Committee going to kill these games.

u/EvaFanThrowaway01 Texas Tech Red Raiders Nov 29 '25

It’S jUsT bEcAuSe ThE sEc Is ThAt DeEp

u/Bondorian Ohio State Buckeyes • Oregon Ducks Nov 29 '25

It just means more

u/nate517 Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

If they didn’t lose to Ohio State they have 2 losses and are in.

0

u/bobdownie Nov 29 '25

If they didn’t lose to Ohio State they might have beaten Florida. And played and beat Indiana instead.

-1

u/prow24 Verified Coach • Virginia Tech Hokies Nov 29 '25

If you don’t lose to Florida you have two losses and are in, don’t lose to 3-8 Florida

1

u/CharliesDonkeyKick Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Yet if we were a 2 loss team we would be a shoe in lol

u/WhereInDaFuqIsWaldo Miami Hurricanes Nov 29 '25

exactly don’t really understand people thinking they’re a CFP team barring some certain results this week

u/M_Mitchell08 SMU Mustangs • Paper Bag Nov 29 '25

I’m sure Kirk will have a reasonable take on gameday tomorrow. He was hinting at it during the tail end of the Georgia game. And, in what world, are people justifying that UT / UGA game was closer than the score indicated. Some pure brain rot shit right there.

27

u/ninjapanda042 Florida Gators Nov 29 '25

Couldn't be us

34

u/CanCovidBeOverPlease Georgia Bulldogs Nov 29 '25

Thankfully I can’t

u/Atrox_Blue Georgia Bulldogs Nov 29 '25

Couldn’t be me

u/Insectshelf3 Oklahoma • Red River Shootout Nov 29 '25

🥲

u/insula_yum Oklahoma Sooners Nov 29 '25

You know, it happens to good teams every now and then. Not that I would know

2

u/cdt930 Georgia Tech • Ohio State Nov 29 '25

Didnt you hear that they out gained you, so Texas basically won that game

2

u/DarkLegend64 Ohio State Buckeyes • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 29 '25

If total yardage determines who won the game, Ohio State would have a 2 game winning streak against Michigan right now. So yeah, arguing about out gaining while still losing doesn’t do anything.

2

u/NinjaRedditer Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Nov 29 '25

definitely not us either, because you can't lose to them when you don't play them.

1

u/schwagbender Texas Longhorns Nov 29 '25

Imagine losing to Case McCoy in 2011

-27

u/prometheus_and_bob Michigan • Central Michigan Nov 29 '25

Imagine losing to UM so bad that you have to win the natty so your coach doesn't get sacked

51

u/prismatic_lights Ohio State • Pittsburgh Nov 29 '25

Sorry I keep trying to read your post but keep getting stuck on “win the natty”

10

u/OldmanonRedditt Cornell Big Red Nov 29 '25

Haha you won the natty while not cheating, losers.

19

u/Fcc4life Ohio State Buckeyes • Sickos Nov 29 '25

Yeah this isn't the burn he thinks it is lol

-6

u/prometheus_and_bob Michigan • Central Michigan Nov 29 '25

Tbh I don't even mind, there's only one game a year that really matters

12

u/Free_Possession_4482 Ohio State • Cincinnati Nov 29 '25

"haha, you guys won the championship!"

11

u/Even_In_Arcadia8 Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 29 '25

not about you lil bro also kiss the ring

5

u/prismatic_lights Ohio State • Pittsburgh Nov 29 '25

ring(s)

10

u/Indecently_Delicious Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 29 '25

I thought it was "Michigan lives rent free in OSU's head"? No one mentioned Michigan and yet here you are, trying to be more than a team that almost lost to a 5-4 Northwestern.

3

u/debo69872 Nov 29 '25

How is winning the natty a burn? Atleast Ohio state didn’t cheat their way to a natty.

2

u/Zarrkar Cincinnati • Ohio State Nov 29 '25

You really thought this hit huh?
