4 SEC Teams

[Behr]

Buncha dam volgators.

Those guys are the worst. Thankfully there's only 2-3 here, that I'm aware of.

I think Cade helped us yesterday and I now believe we give ga a game.

p.s. I've liked your volgators term so much, I've been using it for all the negavols who badmouth us while talking good about any other team, not just Florida. I know, I'm stretching it. But it's too good a term to not use whenever possible.

 

[Other_Guy]

An all-conference schedule will do that

What's Oklahoma's excuse?

Canned biscuits weren’t even a thing then.

Truth ... hard tack only.

 

[GetEmVols]

After two weeks of play there are only four unbeaten SEC teams left. Is this the craziest first two weeks in SEC history?

I think we are in for a wake up call.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I think we are in for a wake up call.

Nite your post, GetEm.

 

[GetEmVols]

Nite your post, GetEm.

You don’t agree? I think we are in for a wake up call. 10-0

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Haha, you got me. Okay, you can un-nite.

it's already been pointed out on here that in all likelihood, there wont be an undefeated SEC champion. 10 SEC games for any team is a tough task. So I am not surprised that it whittled to 4 teams after week two.

247 had a article about the Vols having quietly turning the corner. I tend to agree. Against Missouri, Tennessee looked like a mature football team, finally.

So far, it's really just math playing out:

14 cut in half becomes 7.
7 cut in half becomes 3.5 --> 4.


Same for the B12:

10 cut in half becomes 5.
5 cut in half becomes 2.5 --> 3.

Of course, no one would've guessed that those 3 would be Texas, Oklahoma, and TCU Iowa State, Okla State, and Kansas State.

...

Now, of course, we're getting to the point where the simple math of .50 vs .50 chance gives way to the more complicated math of .90 vs .10 and .68 vs .32. So we'll probably start hanging on to more undefeated teams than a "divide by 2 each week" algorithm would give.

Here's hoping we remain on the happy side of the math.

Go Vols!

Turns out it's a little bit harder to recruit & develop your own Heisman QB than it is to grab one from the portal.

I ain't feeling sorry for them, but I gotta admit I understand.

 

[Boca Vol]

Brilliant! Did you come up with that all by yourself? Lol.

I'm being nice....at least trying to be nice. It's a challenge, at times.

In B1G all teams are undefeated at a (mythical 10 games) 2 & 0 in a 8 game schedule
In Pac 12 all teams are undefeated at a (mythical 10 games) 3 & 0 in a 7 game schedule.
Just dont seem equitable that some of these teams will be in the final 4. The legs and season injuries will be an advantage for these teams with single digit schedules.

 

[SockeyeVol]

Yea but even with the schedule, no one would have predicted 10 of the 14 teams would have a lose by the second game

Actually, that's about what most people would have predicted, mathematically. Very reasonable scenario.

 

[CA_Vol]

I read somewhere that 1861 to 1865 was pretty wild.

Those guys knew how to party.

I hear 1939 was pretty lively also.

 

[tennesseepride84]

3 in the east and 1 in the west.. That's interesting.

The balance of power is shifting... But time will tell

Well you have some holes in your write up. The biggest problem is that you don't know which teams with undefeated records play in week after week 1. If all 7 undefeated teams played winless teams in week two, then you could still have 7 undefeated teams after week two.

Do you think we could have beaten Oklahoma yesterday ?? I think we would have.

 

[fossilfiction]

Canned biscuits weren’t even a thing then.

They shouldn't be now.

 

[maxorange]

most certainly no....the top preseason 3 teams in the conference are all undefeated.

Not even close.

Ok a nice Boca is just to much , need the same ol Boca. 2020 has been screwed up enough without you being nice lol

So was the Iowa State - Lafayette game a scrimmage? Or are you only referring to in conference schedules?

Go Vols!

that only works if the undefeated teams are paired against each other every week... this isn't the ncaa tournament, where your 'math' would happen
