In the SEC it's honestly more of a legitimate season. You're playing 10 SEC teams instead of 8. That's harder by default. Now the other conferences...eh lol
Will any of y’all consider this to be a legitimate season? with everything that has happened with the pandemic. Will the history books look back and say this season was more or less a write off assuming we finish the season. I’m having a hard time myself getting excited like I usually am this close to football season me and my dad were going to Norman for the OU and now it’s been canceled. It’s going to be so weird too with no fans in Neyland or the band playing Rocky Top the pageantry and loud fans are such a huge part of college football as we all know.
I can see at some point the schedule changing to divisional opponents only and being very spaced out. With the prayer of having an SECCG.Anyone honestly (without looking through blindly optimistic lenses) think that the season will go through, stem to stern, without delay or totally being nixed? I just can’t. Public schools where I live will go full distance learning if just ONE student tests positive. And you know that will happen. I know I’ll get roasted by veteran posting police, because I’m sure there are other threads discussing this subject. My two cents, with no sense to give.
7 loss teams will be excluded?What's going to the bowl game requirement?
The conferences not playing 2-3 OOC "buy" games, the power conferences won't have as many eligible teams, will bowl games pick who they want without any requirements?
would the Music City select a 4-6 TN team or have to take a 5-5 smaller school?
Its different for sure.I get that, but the reason were doing it takes some of the umph out for me, not to mention missing out on the Oklahoma game.
I'm not complaining and I'm not saying it doesn't seem legitimate, but if I had a choice, I'd play the schedule we had.
I agree.He plugged up the iceberg hole in the ship last year and got it moving again.
Next step, don't hit anymore icebergs and move up another notch.
I agree.
Got new coaches all over the place this year and that was gonna be a challenge in itself. I think he'll step up but he's definitely got a lot on his plate. Can't complain about recruiting and how he's handled the off season imo.
The question is what will they do with post season. Will there be bowls (kinda hard if conferences don’t allow play ooc now).
Bowls without fans (defeats the purpose of the bowl games).
With no common opponents, who are the top 4 teams (purely subjective at that point).
Yeah it’s different than normal but also exciting
That group last year could have easily just mailed it in after the UF game. Between the finish to his first year and Jones walking out with an 8 L season it could have very easily ended there. And that happens if the team doesn't trust the guy leading them. Its a worn out saying but you have to get them to buy into what your doing. If that doesn't happen I dont care how much football you know.
Still worried about QB. It has to be better and more consistent. Regardless of who that is. But not reason we shouldn't be deeper and more talented at a lot of other spots.
I would assume 5 games, but they could make it 4 wins. Who knows if smaller schools are even playing. Probably can't afford it without the payouts from playing these bigger schools.What's going to the bowl game requirement?

We lost the team leaders on offense and defense that really led that turnaround. Hopefully some of the juniors step up into those roles, but it’s hard without spring practice, normal summer workouts, and normal fall camp.
