@Lucas24M Good point, meant a Vs.

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

The 10 most impressive wins of the College Football season:

10. Texas @ Tennessee
9. Oklahoma N Vs. Texas
8. Florida @ Texas
7. Notre Dame vs. Miami
6. Tennessee vs. Alabama
5. Texas vs. Ohio State
4. Ohio State at Indiana
3. Georgia at Alabama
2. BYU at Notre Dame
1. Auburn at Georgia

I'd argue that no team has two better wins than Texas, but they've also been on the receiving end of two of the biggest L's.

Did not have my favorite RB growing up replying to my tweet on the bingo card for today

[Le'Veon Bell @LeVeonBell]

@EvanVieth wish he would’ve pressed the hole a little more .. but I do appreciate the patience on this run

Gotta take notes @raleek2

With Texas wearing burnt orange jerseys at LSU this week — the Tigers wear white at home — folks have asked when the Horns last traded their icy whites for burnt orange in a true road game.

My research points to 1971 at UCLA, when Texas wore burnt orange and Bruins wore blue 🤘🏻

"His processing is impressive, but I think the more impressive trait that he has is he's an elite competitor at such a young age."

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on F Marcus Spears, who reclassified to come to Texas this summer.

"Sometimes you can only be so tough if you're thin or skinny, weak, and I think sometimes you can only be so tough and competitive and fierce if you're so young. Those two things don't necessarily equate to a great competitor.

Marcus has done a really good job of getting bigger and stronger. It really is happening before all of our eyes. If you would have seen his body in May, and you look at him walking through the door today, he's bigger, he's stronger, and I think that allows him to be more physical. But he came to us as a great competitor, and he's just continued that."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"That's a big part of us moving forward."

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on player retention:

"My hope is that we don't have anywhere near 11 new players next year. We don't want that, and I think that a year from today, if we were able to accomplish that with this year's roster, I think you'll see that we'll be a team that's on the rise."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"Some of the things you've seen here early on, picking up where he left off last year, are a continued tribute to the growth and development within the same program."

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on C Matas Vokietaitis, the only returning rotational player on the roster.

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"You can't rush experience."

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on returning Matas Vokietaitis for another year in Austin.

"Also experience comes in the form of playing for Texas, practicing, going through game day, shoot-around terminology, and how a game feels playing for us. You know, there's a sense of comfort where a player settles in and grows by being in the same place at the same time."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"He's incredibly coachable.'

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on freshman F Marcus Spears.

"He's willing to change, willing to add, willing to learn."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

" I think nine players is where we're at right now,"

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on his rotation:

"It's just hard to push that button right now, partly because games like the one we're getting ready to play will continue to give us more confidence, more evidence.

The objective is to play our best and win, but I think that gives us our best chance right now to do both: to play to win and also to learn the most, sticking with the nine players that you've seen play to this point."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

Thursday will be six weeks since Texas G Mikey Lewis' surgery.

"Pretty soon, I think he's going to be cleared to walk without a boot," #Texas head coach Sean Miller said.

Says you 'don't want to rush' fifth metatarsal injuries, and that he wants Lewis to 'never look back' after he returns.

Thinks Lewis will be cleared to do more after the eight-week mark, and that they'll have him back practicing after that road trip.

2nd and 3rd week of December is when Miller is targeting Lewis' return.

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

#Texas HC Sean Miller his guard duo of Austin Goosby and Isaiah Johnson:

"(Austin's) a playmaker defensively in that he gets his hands on a lot of balls. He's an excellent rebounder, and he can guard a variety of today's players. So, you know, I think you have one guy, Austin, who's our playmaker, and then you have another guy, Isaiah, who really has to be the head of the snake. He's got to be the guy that makes us go.

Against Baylor, one of the key stats in the game is just our team's ability to play without turning it over in an early-season game against pressure and a team that I think plays really hard defensively."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"Isaiah is the head of the snake for us."

#Texas head coach Sean Miller on PG Isaiah Johnson.

"Pushing the pace, being the engine, taking good care of the ball."

Are all strengths of Johnson's game, alongside his scoring.

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

"We have great belief in him. It's one thing to be an elite shooter, but can you be an elite shooter and also be solid in other parts of the game."

#Texas MBB head coach Sean Miller on Joe Sterling.

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

#Texas MBB head coach Sean Miller on freshman G Joe Sterling being ready to compete against Baylor:

"The one thing about the new model of college basketball is that we have so much more access to coach them and be around them in the summer months.

We all have a better feel for what new players can do."

[Evan Vieth @EvanVieth]

I don't mind the CFP committee hitting the reset button every week on their rankings. There are so many data points and swings that can come from one week.

Indiana was a good example and one that made sense. Every team behind them had a good data point and Indiana's lack of a signature win should knock them.

But some of it just makes no sense:

UCLA jumps 4 after beating Minnesota

Wake rises three after beating Merrimack

Ole Miss and LSU falling so far after losing to top-four teams.
