If the punter is out of the tackle box, I think he's fair game.

Yes

The wings and rotel dip from last night is haunting me this morning

A 2 loss SEC Champ gets in over a 1 loss SEC team who didn’t even make the game.

No- not when they played head to head

 

[Vols4us]

If Tennessee wins out, we don't have to worry about Oregon, USC, Bama, LSU, Clemson or the loser of the Michigan vs ohio state. They are in and would get the 3 seed if tcu loses. The last spot is between all those.

This ^^^

Just win out and it will take care of itself. The posers will drop off as they lose. Our SOS and the only loss being against the #1 seed at their place will assure it.

The committee does it correctly, not like ESPN who is all about the clicks advertising revenue. Evidence is the committee voted us #1 before the UGA game. They were impressed with our wins and SOS.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I bet this loss will be a blessing in disguise. Especially if we have to play uga again.

 

[UTK]

Yes. Yes they would

Exactly. LSU has no shot if UT and UGA both just have one loss. SEC champions or not

 

[UTK]

I bet this loss will be a blessing in disguise. Especially if we have to play uga again.

Give UGA a taste of their own medicine, would be nice

 

[VolGee4]

For some reason I always thought that when a play breaks down, the kicker was fair game like any ball carrier... I was wrong.

I saw it live, and I believe it was a bad call. I haven’t read the rule, but if they tried to say he was in the tackle box to the letter of the rule, then it needs to be changed.

 

[Blake25p]

We obviously need to win out to have a shot at the playoffs but we need to dominate the next three games, leave no doubt to the committee.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I really hope that our boys are pissed off today instead of disheartened...that will be a big difference if we make it to play them again. They can't go in with doubt.

Rule needs to change there. I think they concluded he was still in the tackle box and therefore not a ball carrier. If he'd been outside the hashes and the same thing had happened maybe he'd have been fair game? Mizzou got shafted.

Pretend the punter is a QB trying to throw it away. That wouldn't have been roughing the passer.

100% false. They already said Bama is eliminated because of two losses. Two loss teams won’t make the playoff, period. We would get in over them.

So the team that blocked the kick is penalized because the snap was bad but not bad enough? What an asinine rule lol

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

1. UGA
2. OSU
3. Michigan
4. TCU/UT
5. UT/TCU

Gonna use Rucker's tweet. I think this is how it will play out come release time this week.

This is exactly the order it will be. Once Michigan loses to OSU or TCU loses, we get back into the top four. They do not move teams out unless they lose. As long as we handle our last three teams (we will), we are in the playoff. Anyone worried about one loss pac 12 or one loss ACC champion are crazy. We have seen how the committee views those teams.

Win out and we are in the playoff. It really is that simple since Bama and Clemson lost.

 

[Vol464]

I completely agree. The committee will jump a one loss Pac 12 winner over us in the final rankings.

We still need to handle our business first though. As we for sure now know, we aren’t unbeatable and the team we play next gave UGA all they could handle earlier this season.

And just lost to KY at home

 

[VolGee4]

It wasn’t blocked. The punter got it about 25 yards downfield out of bounds and then got hit. But, yes, they got protection from a really bad snap.

 

[itsme]

I still just can’t believe we only scored 13 today. Is Georgia really that good they can just sleep walk through their games until they play a good team? Florida, mizz and Kent state all scored 20+

They took it very personal that Tennessee was ranked above them. Not trying to be that guy but our route tree should have adjusted. That man coverage was sticky. When we meet again I think their aggressiveness will be used more against them.

It was the perfect storm. Their fans were mad, Kirby was mad, at home for the biggest game ever… They came out with fire and we looked shook. Crazy, even as bad as we played that we only lost by 14. Reminded me of our game against LSU. They fumbled the opening kick and we pounced on them and they collapsed. LSU game would be much different now just like meeting UGA in the playoffs on a neutral field. The game will be much different next time.

 

[Vols4us]

There were two calls yesterday that just stunk. The Mizzou/UK/punter incident was the first one. The ball was live. Had Mizzou recovered it they would have taken possession. That the punter was able to recover it and punt it was lucky for them, but no way should that be roughing to tackle a guy recovering a loose ball in that situation. So ridiculous.

The other was the fumble that LSU recovered. That the Bama guy was out of bounds and touched it after the LSU guy had it in his hands, should not negate the LSU recovery. It should rule the Bama guy out as to being able to recover it. LSU made a great play causing a fumble and recovering it, then gets punished and it taken away by the guy who made the bad play with the fumble. Another great big stupid.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

This game is showing you what 5 star corners do. They’re playing man to man and shutting our WRs down with no help

They sat with two high safeties most the game. What? Ha

 

[Orange.]

Bammer and Clempson

(just had to say it again)

 

[Big Orange#1]

Brian Kelly spent many childhood days in the bayou dreaming of this moment. After helping pa on the shrimpin boat, he'd eat a big bowl of jambalaya and say "mee-maw, I'm gon beat Bama one day"

If we meet again, Heupel will know exactly what UGA plans to do on defense. There's no way UGA deviates from something that worked so well the first time. I think Heupel would put together a good plan of attack and it would be a competitive game.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

My son just texted me and he has rewatched the game...he said he counted three times that if Hooker had hit wide open receivers that we would have won...he said it made him really nervous about playing us again.


This will always be our lot under Heupel against really great defenses. If our QBs hit those passes we win, if we don't we lose. The plays are there, there are less of them than in a normal game, and the QBs will be under pressure...but the plays will always be there.
