NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 Also hopefully Echols and Wright are ok. Kiffin said they could’ve came back in but he went ahead and held them out. Def need both of them next week. Was smart to play backups most of the 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Share Posted November 9, 2025 (edited) I am getting the sense that Florida has called it a season at this point. If you are a Texas fan or a State fan you want to beat your head against a wall for losing to this team.

NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 Wonder if Florida loses this game do they go a different direction besides Lagway the rest of the season. Their fans are def wanting a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we move on to whether we pull a WAOM or we get the job done. I do fully expect Texas Tech to jump us in the playoff ranking though and we go to #7. Selfishly as a State fan I don’t want OM in the Playoff (that ship has probably sailed though)…. Objectively as a college football fan though… A Texas Tech vs Ole Miss playoff game sounds incredible to me. Tech has been really dang good. Lost one close game where they didn’t have their starting QB, and literally every other game they’ve won by 3 touchdowns or more.

NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 It’s ok @Dawg83 I didn’t want yall to win a SEC game lol. I completely understand. That Tech defense is something else. They got their money’s worth in the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Share Posted November 9, 2025 I am curious to see what the CFP Committee does with BYU after the loss. Had they lost close I think they’d have a good case to still be in, but getting smoked is gonna make it iffy. And they probably can’t lose again at the very least. This may end up being a rather drama free group of Playoff teams when it’s all said and done. Especially since the ACC is looking more and more like a 1 bid league.

NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 If they don’t lose to Cincinnati which could happen since playing at Cincy, they’ll lose in the Big 12 championship against Tech again so they’re pretty much out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 And down goes Virginia. It was only a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Share Posted November 9, 2025 (edited) I never figured UVA being in the Playoff was going to last. I have no clue who the best ACC team is but one of them has to make the Playoff. Louisville also going down to the wire with Cal. Maybe it ends up being Georgia Tech? But I’m not totally sold on them either. Edited November 9, 2025 by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 It was crazy that Virginia already had an ACC loss but technically didn’t count as an ACC loss. Today had the makings of a chaotic day had Penn St and Iowa held on. Would’ve made Tuesday night’s playoff show very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 I know this is unthinkable. But if USM runs the table and wins the Sunbelt and the Championship game, could they sneak in the playoff as the G5 representative? They would be 11-2 and would have a resume that could match up with just about anyone else in the G5. I know it is unlikely but…..

They are probably going to end up wishing they had that LA Tech game back when it’s all said and done. That said, the latest forecasting I saw had James Madison (USM’s likely Sun Belt title game opponent) as the most likely G5 team to get the bid as of today. The biggest difference in JMU and USM right now is JMU only has the one loss to Louisville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Share Posted November 9, 2025 Louisville lost to Cal in overtime… Is it too late to revoke the ACC’s invitation to the Playoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 I’m a proud Cal Bear tonight!!! As for the G5 spot, I think once it’s said and done it’s going to go to UNT or USF if both win out and play in the championship. I’m not sure how their tiebreaker will go if those two and Tulane all finish with 1 conference loss. USF has the win over UNT but pretty sure head to head doesn’t matter in a 3 way tie.

Bulldogs4 Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 Regardless of what happens I am very happy for Coach Huff and USM for the season they have had. Unfortunately for USM, with all these open, he may get snatched up by someone even though he has only been there one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Share Posted November 9, 2025 The QB controversy at State seems to be really taking off. I personally see the case for both guys. My main concern is State’s OL is in shambles health wise so you wonder if they’d be better off leaning into the more mobile QB in Kamario. But he’s also the less refined passer of the two. Shapen has gotten a lot of grief from State fans this year that I don’t think is totally justified. Don’t get me wrong, he has limitations, and Kamario’s ceiling is much higher. But Shapen isn’t the reason State has five losses. The line of scrimmage on both sides is far and away the biggest issue on this team. Part of me also wonders if the demand for Kamario would be as high if he was from Macon, Georgia and not Macon, Mississippi. But I mean this may kinda take care of itself…. Shapen has gotten knocked out of the last two games because of injuries and I don’t know if it’s even a sure thing he plays at Mizzou.

Shapen has gotten knocked out of the last two games because of injuries and I don’t know if it’s even a sure thing he plays at Mizzou. I like the current situation going on of both guys playing. Shapen is an above average QB, not great and not bad. Right now he’s the most comfortable guy to roll with. But as you said, Kamario’s ceiling is higher and we’re not playing for a playoff spot right now so may as well get him in. The big difference between the two is Lebby’s had two years to call plays behind Shapen. It’s almost a completely different offense when Kamario’s in the game because of he’s so gifted as a runner along with his limitations as a passer. I think we finish the year letting both guys play. We’re not seeing a huge drop off when either guy is in. They both bring their own spark to the offense and I guarantee defenses hate having to prep for both guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 Ole Miss did pretty much what they needed to do yesterday. Won easily and played a ton of backups. I haven't heard anything yet on the Wright injury, hopefully it's not serious... same with Echoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely the better runner and has the escape ability, although when 77 whiffs as he did on the play Shapen got hurt Taylor doesn't get out of that one. But he probably is only comfortable with 25-30 percent of the offense. A healthy Shapen gives State the best chance to win, but if he's not 100 percent Saturday I think I would go with Taylor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
