"I'd be remiss if I didn't say, this is the ultimate team sport. We played without Colin Simmons. We played without Hollywood Smothers. We essentially played the entire game without Trevor Goosby, and the majority of the game without Cam Coleman, and we played the number seven ranked team in the country and won by a touchdown. So I'm proud of our team because we said we needed to win as a team, and the team won tonight."
Steve Sarkisian after the game.
SEC just shared these notes with us:
3 teams have 3 wins over teams in current CFP Top 25: Georgia, Texas, Texas Tech
Texas is only team with 2 wins over current CFP Top 10
In the current CFP Rankings, Texas is only team that has faced 5 opponents in Top 25 and 4 in Top 10🤘🏻
The idea that a room full of administrators (for the most part) are the best we can do to rank CFB teams properly is laughable...These rankings are just silly

The Texas Quote of the Day:
"To understand me, you need to understand Texan logic. If you come from Texas, you're 100 per cent American but you'll do things the Texan way. We're independent. We've got our own way of doing things. Try to build fences 'round us and we'll run you out of town. I can go anywhere in the world but my spirit is still Texan and I recognize my own kind. There are no secret handshakes but when Texans meet there's a special fraternity."

Here's the interview with 'Coach Kaz', I STRONGLY suggest watching the full thing. So much respect for these dudes that are going to be leaders and do so much more than playing ball on a field.
