Texas released some updated roster weights and there's some good stuff worth noting and noticing, not to mention a reinforcement of my two decade long crusade to convince people that big-framed athletic young men can gain weight when they eat and lift. Shocking revelations!
I'm a fan of Parker Fleming (statsowar) and he threw together an interesting graphic combining the Athletic's QB tiers (derived from GM/coaching survey) and ESPN's preseason Strength of Schedule ratings.
What have I been thinking about of late, other than gladiators and the local black bear that keeps stealing beer cans from our recycling bins? Trevor Goosby's still yet unrealized upside, and our kickoff teams downside.

In the course of that research, I often go to opponent fan sites to check the temperature or get the latest intel before hitting publish. Sometimes, I learn things and realize that all fan struggles are universal, sometimes I'm Tim Robbins crawling through the sewage pipe from Shawshank prison.
The Buckeyes are the preseason #1 according to the coach's poll and they're still loaded despite losing half of last year's starters to the NFL Draft. High level recruiting and development paired with small but elite portal classes have served them well. Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia silenced his doubters last year by fielding the best defense in college football.
Tennessee has a lot of interesting questions going into this season, but the most overriding question is obvious: who is the new starting QB? With Joey Aguilar's eligibility battle finally officially lost in the Spring, true freshman former five star Faizon Brandon battles 6'6" redshirt freshman George MacIntyre for the starting role.
If the questions that UTSA and Texas State need answered are relevant to our game outcomes, we've got deeper problems, but both programs represent an interesting crossroads for Group of Six programs trying to find their way in the new world of college football. Their questions are the same: How can either school retain their quality head coaches long term?
This one isn't real hard. Can they improve from the 54th ranked FEI offense in college football to a Top 20-25 unit? If they can, and if Brent Venables can hold serve defensively, they're probably going back to the playoffs and are a legitimate SEC title dark horse.
The Gators catch Texas right after the Red River Shootout and before the Longhorns host Ole Miss. They couldn't ask for a better spot. If you're looking for the season trap game - and Lord knows after reading the boards for years some of you believe every game is a trap game - this might actually fit that definition.
Well, this question is a layup. Can Ole Miss run it back without Lane Kiffin? Since 2021, Kiffin led the Rebs to a 52-15 record with four consecutive Top 14 finishes. Ole Miss was no longer a cute upstart. They were firmly entrenched in the upper tier of the SEC, seemingly poised for a larger breakout. Except that break out was supposed to happen in 2024, not 2025.
