Does it take into effect injuries etc? Or just stats?

Paper they probably look close but the eye test says otherwise. LSU is going to roll

Where do you guys think we would be if we had a normal amount of injuries? If JRM, Sutton, Kirkland, Hall, and Thomas were healthy all year?

One loss? Two? Are some of our close games still close?

Ever the optimist, I could see Alabamas first slip up being the sec title game. Wouldn't bet on it but I think they run a risk of taking that week off mentally and emotionally because they probably won't need to win it to make the playoffs.

This reminds me.

I was wondering what Daniel's first punt looked like from TV against UK

At the stadium it looked like he absolutely kicked the skin off the ball. I swear you could hear the impact lol.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't find the weekly game predictions. I see Sim Matchup, games for different sports, etc. Do you have to set up an account?

Edit Found it by googling, but I don't understand why I couldn't find it on the site. Thanks.

We'd be 9-1 with a loss to Bama.

We beat A&M and SCjr with a healthy squad IMO

Conventional wisdom would suggest one loss, but anytime you change things even seemingly for the better, you don't know how it would turn out.

Still, those guys should have been more than enough to overcome deficits in two really close games.

What's corrupt about being focused and playing disciplined football?
Click to expand...

nothing is wrong with being focused and playing disciplined football, what is borderline corrupt is how clearly there is a
"Bama Priviledge" when no one ever investigates or sniffs potential violations that are clearly there like other programs, a clear bias in every game they play with refs and calls and no calls... You can argue them being very good at looking squeaky clean, without any issues, and if they have any(this past summer), they are simply pushed aside and swept under the rug, but over the past two years it has gotten almost comical at how the officials work the game to Bama's advantage... Someone posted an unbelievable stat at how few times they are called for holding, which everyone watching their games can see they do almost every play, yet never get called. It is no coincidence that two coaches already this year have filed complaints with the SEC over officials screwing up calls during their game with AL... It is so blatant, its crazy. Hell, in our game they were pulling our WRs DOWN from going up and getting a pass with no call.... clear block in the backs where they pushed our player to the ground right in front of a ref and no call that ended in a TD.... you could go on forever giving examples... the best was last year when everyone saw the clip of Barnett literally dragging a AL O lineman on the ground by his jersey that the lineman had a hold of and it eventually ripped....again, right in front of the ref, and no call.

One loss... we would have kept a min of 14 off the board in the A&M game and beat SC by a min of 10... Bama would have been more of a 21-10 game..

No. 19 Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 SEC)

Best win(s): vs. No. 23 Florida | Losses: vs. No. 1 Alabama, at No. 25 Texas A&M, at South Carolina

Remaining games (must-wins): vs. Missouri, at Vanderbilt

What needs to happen: A whole helluva lot. Tennessee needs Florida to lose to LSU, and the Vols need to win out against Mizzou and Vandy. If they do that it, which is compltely possible and perhaps even likely, then Tennessee has to go to Atlanta and beat Alabama. If all that happens, Tennessee is your SEC champion, and even with three losses, that carries some cache.

But probably not enough.

Considering Alabama would probably still get into the playoff even with the loss, that means Tennessee is fighting four other Power Five champions for those other three spots. So if a three-loss USC wins the Pac-12, and either a three-loss North Carolina or Virginia Tech win the ACC, now the Vols are in business. If that happens, it would probably be best for Michigan or Ohio State to win the Big Ten to help ensure a second Big Ten team doesn't get a berth.

So let's imagine a scenario in which Oklahoma, Alabama and Michigan/Ohio State get three spots. Then it's a 10-3 Tennessee team against a 10-3 USC team and a 10-3 ACC champion for that final spot, and I would wager the SEC factor, as well as just beating Alabama, tilts the scale in Tennessee's favor.

Will they get in? Listen, this list was just about including teams that have a chance, not simply teams that have a good chance. Make no mistake about it, Tennessee's chances are not good. Chance: 0.5 percent
