MEGA Week 4 Games Thread ‘26

Raw meat / low hanging fruit for galvanizing the team. Famous example to me is Gundy's "I'm a MAN. I'm FORTY" rant.

Interesting that he's going after fans though. usually its the media lol.

I think Tyriq McCord went after the fans for ****ting on the coaches IIRC

This all goes back to Sonny Dykes comments about Hoover’s turnovers, from my pov. Hoover has none against 3 cupcakes but fans are complaining because Indiana was up 14-0 against WKU at the half compared to 21-7 for Nevada or 49-6 for UGA.

So he is preempting the criticism for Hoover otw; win or lose.

Yeup, both teams have losses to ranked p4 opponents, but at the same time, both teams need them to keep winning.

Andy Staples suggested that footwork run/pass tell from Dante Moore purposely was given out by OK State’s players to the media and went viral because OK State wants Oregon to fix it as they need Oregon to keep winning to have a better shot at the playoffs.

Others disagree w/ me, still, i think Tulsa vs Arkansas is the most consequential matchup. They’re in the best G6 conference, and a win over Arkansas would be their second p4 victory. It’d be similar to Tulane last year who beat Northwestern and Duke. I think a 12-1 Tulsa w/ a conference championship beats out a 12-1 W. Michigan or Boise State.

i dont think the committee will consider western michigan having a loss when it comes down to it- their "good loss" will probably outweight any g6 win against p4 (haven't been many of note) or even a good win against a g6 team from another conference, especially with the NCAA coming down and saying replay was wrongly applied but they can't do anything to change result- cfp knows that it was a win.
