    ^^^This is a very true statement. I've been saying the same thing for the last year. T-Mac could seriously learn a few valuable things from the AD in Denton.

    Not sure who "we" is, but for Tech, football SOS is irrelevant. Now basketball and baseball are a different story.

    The only time football SOS comes into play is when debating the merits of the top 4 teams for the CFP.

    SOS matters if you want to be ranked. Especially for a program like Tech. What will get us in the Top 25, beating teams like Texas or Texas State?

    Gotta have rep to get votes. We were on track last year after the North Texas game. Then our HC laid an egg against a pretty good UAB team ON OUR HOME FIELD. Lose games like that you lose reputation and don't have a chance to get votes or get in the top 25. Our HC has blown every opportunity to have his EllAye Tech teams ranked.

    Twelve years from now you may be told to skydive, but you will not be given a parachute unless you subscribe to their dictates. Please recall that ten years ago millions of Americans (the young and healthy) were told to buy health insurance that they did not want nor need (Obamacare) or pay a fine. Ten years prior to 2008 who would have believed that would be possible.

    The frog is in the pot and the heat is on.

    Literally everything is related to politics. Our wonderful gov't regulates everything. Please name one thing that our gov't doesn't regulate. Air, dirt, water, land....

    Obliviots (oblivious idiots) don't pay attention to politics.

    Tech was ranked in the Top 25 for 5 weeks in 2012 as high as #18 without beating a full FBS team with a winning record at the end of the regular season. Illinois, Virginia, and Houston were bad. UTSA was a transitional team, and Rice had to win their bowl game to get to 7-6.

    Football SOS really does not matter unless you are competing for those 4 CFP spots. Even then, SOS impact on selection is minimal. It's primarily about winning all your games or a P5 conference championship with as few losses as possible.

    I agree that it's irrelevant unless you're shooting for a CFP spot or maybe the G5 NY6 spot.

    But we still argue about it.

    It is crazy how far out CFB scheduling is done. I guess I kind of see why, especially when costs keep going up - if you can lock in your home $ game at 2019 prices, you're going to be feeling good in 2029. And while it makes less sense to me for the traveling team in a $ game to agree to this (knowing they could probably get more later) I can also see why you'd be willing to agree to a higher than current average payout in 2019 to lock in a game at a big name even if you thought you might be able to get a similar or higher payout down the road (bird in the hand and all that).

    And of course the home and away deals kind of make sense, because if you get the chance to lock down like a Notre Dame vs. Texas or whatever you want to do that, and they're already booked way out, etc. But it's weird to read these press releases like "Great game scheduled between two powers that haven't ever played" and then see that it's like 8 years away. And even weirder to read about a game that isn't necessarily irreplaceable but just kind a game - like Tech and UMASS or like an NCST vs. Vanderbilt or something and wonder - couldn't they have just waited and either done that the year before or found something better? I guess the risk is that the other team finds something better and you get stuck with something worse.

    Oh I pay attention. As a public sector worker, we all pay vigilant attention.

    I just dont think about it all the dang time (eg. TylerTechsas). When I pull up to a stop sign, I dont think of creeping socialism. When I put on my underpants, I dont ponder the effects of tariffs on US workers.And when I get on a Tech SPORTS message board, I dont expect to see random connections between UNT's athletic department and a Congresswoman from New York. (cf. post #3)


    That's just not normal. It's obsession.
