The one time to contemplate making adjustments to the system you utilize to energy price groups is when your rankings clearly aren’t working. Thus far in 2025, whereas my rankings’ total efficiency is not as much as the previous few years, it is not underperforming at a stage that may trigger concern.
I want it have been. If it was, that may give me an excuse to do no matter it took to get Texas out of my high 12, as a result of I am am sick and uninterested in Texas being in my high 12. Each week I run the numbers, and each week Texas stays there. It is making me indignant.

After seeing the Longhorns’ offense flail helplessly on Saturday night time in a 16-13 additional time win towards Kentucky I assumed, “possibly that is it. Possibly that is the nightmare recreation that pushes them out of my high 12.”
It wasn’t. The Longhorns are nonetheless clinging on, and I hate it. Their protection is just too good to knock them out of consideration! However how dangerous is the offense? Effectively, I am going to put it on this perspective for you.
On Saturday night time, Texas’ offense averaged –0.37 EPA per snap. Amongst video games between Energy 4 faculties this season, that efficiency is the eighth-worst efficiency by any offense this season. It is also the one one of many 31 worst offensive performances this season during which that group by some means managed to win the sport.
The subsequent worst was the -0.21 EPA per snap LSU had in its Week 3 win over Florida, which ranks because the Thirty second-worst.
The Longhorns are nonetheless within the hunt for a Faculty Soccer Playoff berth, however selfishly, I hope they do not get there. I already understand how that recreation will finish: in a boring 16-10 Texas loss. That is not a recreation any of us need to watch, is it? Please, any individual left on this Longhorns schedule, hand them a 3rd loss and get them out of my life for the remainder of 2025. I urge you.
