Remaining schedule sets up well with OU and Texas at home:

Bye
@ West Virginia
@ TCWho
Oklahoma
Texas
@ Kansas

Looks like minimum of 10 wins. I'm going with 11-1.

How in the hell, with the **** that school has been wrapped up in, can they be 7-0. Others manage to survive struggle, but UT can’t dig out of the hole.

Made a comment in another thread the other day that the schools involved in the 2 biggest CFB scandals of all-time, Penn St and Baylor, are chugging along like nothing ever happened and here's Tennessee 10+ years on not being able to find its way out of a wet paper bag.

Penn St didn't even go through a losing season after the Sandusky fallout, and looking at their program now you can't tell that anything happened. After Briles was fired, Baylor has had just one losing season, and same deal - can't tell that anything even happened.

College football bowl projections: Penn State, Baylor step into New Year's Six games

It was Baylor's 45-27 win at Oklahoma State that convinced me the Bears were good enough to become the second-highest rated team in the Big 12 this season. Baylor replaces Texas in the Sugar Bowl projection, and it is set to face LSU from the SEC.

***Can Memphis beat SMU or will the Ponies run the table?

Penn State in a New Year's Day 6 bowl - probably wouldn't be happening if they had gotten the penalty they deserved for the Sandusky scandal.

Football program should have been disbanded (death penalty) for at least a year, perhaps longer. Doubt they would have recovered by now.

I think the only program in history to get the death penalty was SMU. At least two others should have - Penn St for this, Alabama for their repeated cheating violations.

I bought tix to Sugar Bowl last week with hopes of seeing Baylor play New Years Day.

KState/OU result may have messed that up.

I know we all have a personal stake in this, and the SEC refs are our refs...But I'm a college football junkie and I swear to you those Pac-12 refs are the ABSOLUTE dirt worst I've ever seen and it's consistent...They are consistently terrible.

Ours arent necessarily terrible. They're corrupt. The whole conference is corrupt.

Opening game Fox Sports said it was 172° on the McLane Stadium turf. Tomorrow night AccuWeather says it will be 29°.🤔🤔🤔

I know there was a desire to bury them after what went on, but what would the death penalty for Penn St achieve? Everybody who had anything to do with the scandal is either in jail (or served jail time) or is dead (Paterno).

It's frustrating that they can have perhaps the biggest scandal in CFB history and not even suffer a losing season, but disbanding the football program only hurts people who had nothing to do with it. Same with Baylor. It'd be one thing if people who were involved in the scandal were still there or something, but they aren't.

While talk of "death penalty" is silly, I think Baylor's situation is a bit worse than Penn State's in that the cover up went way beyond just a handful of men. So many folks at all levels of that school, including many who are still there, knew what was going on, buried it, and went out of their way to do nothing about it until the media attention shamed them into it. Accusers were either cowed into silence or effectively kicked out of school.

Agreed about Baylor perhaps being even worse, although both stories were the massive scandals they were because of the cover ups. However, who at Baylor who was involved in the cover up is still there? The President, AD, Briles's entire coaching staff, etc. are all gone. Although all of them, relative to Penn St, landed on their feet. Curley and Spanier ended up in jail - McCaw is now the AD at Baylor, Starr and Briles are free men.

The compliance staff knew. I couldn't tell you how many that were there at the time are still employed.

The Board knew, and their response was to commission the shambolic Pepper Hamilton report, which they insisted not even be put in writing. Most of the Board are still there.

FYP.

Also Baylor effectively self-imposed a walking death penalty losing two recruiting classes. The nation's leading WR (receptions and yards) is now playing at Texas and the QB of the future is starting at A&M.
