Considering that they will lose again to OKLAHOMA by 50, they must run the rest of the table in order to win. I just dont see a Mack Brown team doing that.

After the beating OKLAHOMA hands them again, the will struggle with the tougher half of there schedule.

I wouldnt be surprised if the number fell at exactly 9 wins this year for the horns, why there is no disputing that Mack is not a big game coach at least he usually beats the teams he shoud beat. If you look at their schedule I think it would be safe to assume that they will win all of their home games (Ntx, Rice, Baylor,Texas A-M, Mizzou and Okie State) although Mizzou and Okie State could give them some problems. Thus if they win these games they are at 6 wins, now on the road they play, Ark, Tech, Col, Kansas, so lets assume they beat Kan and Tech, thats 8 wins, you would think they should beat a rebuilding Hogs team but Nutt seems to have their number and who in the hell knows what Colorado will have this year so lets say they split these games which leaves them at 9-1 with a loss to Okie that 9-2!~

I respectfully disagree. Texas has had at least 10 wins for the past several years in a row despite getting their asses handed to them by the Sooners every year. I know Texas has lost their overrated WR corps but they have enough talent to beat everyone on their schedule except the Sooners. And that streak against OU will end some day (although not this year) but even after losing to OU by a 65-13 score last year they still won every other game in the Big 12 conference and for the past several years UT has only lost one conference game (OU of course) and they always run the rest of the conference schedule. I see that being the case this year. I think the under is not a very solid play but that's just my opinion. Too much talent and too much perserverence for UT to lay an egg after losing to OU..... they've been blown out before by OU and they always rebound very well and even backdoored their way into the Big 12 Champ game in 2001 when OU lost to hmmmm A&M or no it was OSU that beat OU at home giving UT a chance to win the NC that year (or atleast go) but then the Buffs smoked them in the game thanks to Chris Simms but had they started Applewhite UT would have gone to the NC game that year. Oh well, just my opinion. I would say OVER or no play, but defintely not under.

Those were in 12 game seasons. 11 games on the Longhorns schedule for this year.

I have posted this before I like the over on this; the key game for this to be a almost a lock will be the OU game; I dont see Texas losing any of there other games; Ark was gutted by the nfl and graduation they are not even close to the same team as they were; obviously they beat Kansas and I dont see Tech beating them so it comes down to CO; which is another team Texas matches up with very well. There are better bets on the board but the over looks like the play

Sorry BobbyBlueChip, didnt realize 11 game season... thanks.

Who knows, the way OU loses their games is when they think they can just show up and win (A&M, Okie State, Kansas State Big 12 game) and they can be bitten by their overconfidence. I doubt OU will never be NOT fired up for Texas but there's a chance they can be overconfident. Whenver OU is discounted or an underdog (been awhile since theyve been an underdog i think) but that's when they dominate mostly. If UT beat OU they're a lock to get over 9 wins with all that confidence they'd have.

However, it ain't gonna happen. Maybe when they fire Mack and get a real coach that doesnt cater to their egos they'll get some discipline to go along with all that talent. I think firing Reese was good but Reese wasn't the whole problem, Mack Brown is the whole problem. UT fans even know it

I really like the 2 new coaches Texas hired. Mack Brown needed to surround himself with a better coaching staff and I think he succeeded in doing so.

Didn't Texas lose to Washington St. last year? I think they did.

Texas would have finished no higher than #3 in the Pac 10 last year.

This year I would predict Texas to finish #2 in the Pac 10 but easily could finish 4th. :)

I think CAL def. will be a better team than last year. They return everybody and have a top 5 QB in the country leading the team. In addition to a top 5 offensive minded head coach.

I would predict Texas to finish #2 in the pac 10 (maybe even upset USC if they played USC early) but I also could see them finishing 3rd or 4th. Both CAL and Oregon could contend with Texas. I guess we will see first hand when Oregon plays AT OU. We already know OU spanks Texas so lets see if OU spanks Oregon in Norman. If this game was at Oregon, I would predict an upset.

*Utah and CSU both were bowl teams last year! I would rather lose to Utah and CSU than beat on a LA Monroe or a Citadel!!!!

I like OU by 4 TD's against Oregan; it will be a ROUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. If that line is anywhere under 3 tds; put me down for 5 dimes on that one against the weakass PAC 10. I guess based off Lucas's thinking Utah would have finished 1st since they beat Cal and Cal beat USC. What an idotic statement; also UNLV would have finished 1st in the pac 10 and 2nd in the big xII; can this joker get an worse????? :142lmao: :142lmao:

I would rather lose to Kansas or Texas Tech then San Jose and Montana! Oregon has not had a decent defense for awhile they could never contend with Texas skill position players and Benson would shred their interior line! Your talking about a team (Texas) that each year is a threat to run the board, granted Mack seems to choke under pressure but Texas is one of the top 10 programs in the country, Oregon is not one of the top 20 programs in the country!

Cal lost 6 games last year; they freakin suck case closed stop bringing up Cal they are horrible I dont care who there QB is; where was he when they were getting there ass handed to them by Utah and UNLV; that is pathetic. They have a "chance" to win 7 or 8 games if they are lucky. Thats about it but please stop talking about a team that lost 6 games last year and act like they are perennial NC contenders; Tedford is overrated; hopefully this year he can put a defense on the field that doesnt get 40-50 hung on them everytime they play a halfway decent team. :142lmao: :142lmao:

Boy O boy do you hate the Pac 10 and USC. I think I know why you dislike USC and the Pac 10 so much. I wanted to make sure NOBODY here got hurt with your recommendation of laying 5 dimes on Oregon. Last year you lost your "biggest" wager of the year on Michigan over USC. You said the exact same things supporting your big bet then as you do now. Pac 10 sucks etc. I do not want anybody to blindly follow your picks, especially with analysis of Pac 10 sucks. Here are your exact quotes on your BIGGEST BET OF THE YEAR!!!

My biggest play of the year will be on Michigan + the points; USC has shown time and time again they play well against their weak ass conference but then fold when they play quality competition. I will take the BIG 10 champ any day of the year over the PAC 10 champ. And any team that gives up 475 yards passing at HOME to a very average Or State team with the NC game on the line and now face a very potent Mich team that actually plays defense. The 6 points is just a bonus. I will have even money on the moneyline as I should easily cash both. Carroll should be sucking OU's $#@! for losing or they would not be playing for crap. And if you watched the Kstate USC game when Mike Williams dropped those passes it might have to do with Kstate's defenders but that is the homer in Scott he never gives credit to the other team just makes up excuses. Too bad USC wont have any excuses when they get exposed.

BBK's GOY

When are you going to learn that is stupid logic? Just wanted to show everyone you are saying pretty much the exact same things as you did before when you lost your biggest bet of the year. I am not poking fun at you, I am letting everyone know your handicapping skills and analysis doesn't quite cut it. Saying your betting 5dimes on a play could entice somebody to bet with you.

Cal lost 6 games last year; they freakin suck case closed stop bringing up Cal they are horrible I dont care who there QB is; where was he when they were getting there ass handed to them by Utah and UNLV; that is pathetic. They have a "chance" to win 7 or 8 games if they are lucky. Thats about it but please stop talking about a team that lost 6 games last year and act like they are perennial NC contenders; Tedford is overrated; hopefully this year he can put a defense on the field that doesnt get 40-50 hung on them everytime they play a halfway decent team.

For starters, it was a rebuilding year for CAL last year and you def. are in the dark if you think teams do not get better/worse in college football.

For starters, your data is incorrect. CAL did not lose or even play UNLV. Hope you put more effort behind your opinions/analysis/handciapping. I strongly disagree with a lot of what you said.

Oregon has not had a decent defense for awhile they could never contend with Texas skill position players and Benson would shred their interior line! Your talking about a team (Texas) that each year is a threat to run the board, granted Mack seems to choke under pressure but Texas is one of the top 10 programs in the country, Oregon is not one of the top 20 programs in the country!

I disagree and Oregon can contend with Texas. However I would favor Texas to win. You are wrong in that Oregons weakness is the DL. Oregon has a super stud lineman named Ngata who is prob. the best DT in the country IMO. Was hurt last year. Guy is best DT in the country IMO. People thought Michigan last year was gonna run all over ORegon (without Ngata) and they did not. Oregons weakness is DB's and it will be a weakness again.

I was not overly impressed with Texas defense last year (gave up ton pts against quality offenses) and Oregon this season will have an explosive offense.

Belotti is much better head coach than Mack Brown. (although Brown has better athletes)

I agree Texas is a premier program, maybe top 10.

Just glanced over their schedule, and initial lean would be nine wins for the Horns. I wouldn't lay chalk for that total.

lucas; first of all that biggest bet thing was more of a joke about how pathetic you are than anything and if you want to compare 1 bet against the thousand i have made over the last 15 years that sounds like a great comparison; how about this at the start of college football; i will post my best plays against your best plays for whatever you want; I know you would have to ask your parents to use part of your tuition money to put up any decent size bet; didnt you say you had to go to several bookies to lay a 9k bet :142lmao: (you must deal with some smalltime bookies) and we see who wins; I think it would be absolutely hilarious to see you post more than just USC picks and lose your ass; I am willing to put my handicapping skills against your pitiful pro USC so called handicapping skills; BRING IT ON; I dont expect you to say yes your ego cant handle have your ass handed to it week in and week out :moon: :moon:

Also its bad etiquette to bring up past best; since my comment over OU over Oreg had nothing to do with your past bets since you barely post them (probably because they are all losers) but dont I remember a bet of LAKERS IN 5; nice bet Lucas; supposedly you hedged it but I sincerely doubt that show me some REAL proof; because no one is this forum takes your word for it but either way that was the worst bet I have seen in a long time. At least I had a chance to win my bet :142lmao: :142lmao: :moon: :moon:

WTF does Scott4USC know about etiquette anyway. Anyone who disagrees with him "can't dispute the facts" that he presents. If you disagree with him, you're a moron.

We are all losers here because only Scott4USC/JimmyBuffet etc are the smart ones that realize the Pac 10 is better than the NFC East and USC is the best college football team of all time despite not winning more game against Notre Dame head-to-head. Doesn't matter. Everyone is stupid except for Scott4USC. He is the man with the plan and knows everything.

Doesnt matter that the Pac 10 hasnt won a NC since the 1970s. Doesnt matter they've never made it to the NC game in the history of the BCS. We're all stupid, the BCS, ESPN, the coaches polls, the writers, we're all stupid because Scott4USC knows way more than we do about everything associated with college football. It must be a Pac 10 conspiracy. Everyone is against the Pac 10 and the Pac 10 can't get a fair shake.
