Beat thing to do now is only watch the vols play on Saturday for the rest of the season
No reason to listen to the talking heads bc they are probably wrong and bias

Tennessee should be number 4 this week regardless and should win out putting them in no matter what

11-1 is an awesome year, best one since who knows with the players we have

Can’t wait to watch them in the playoffs or the sugar or orange bowl

The talking heads are guessing. That’s their job. Just to say sh*t. They aren’t the CFP committee.

I’m most worried about Mizzou. Decent defense and if we have a hangover and struggle on offense it could be tight.

Yup

Their defense is the only thing that can keep this game close because they can't score with us.

We know we can come out and take the game early with big plays/kill shots.

The only variables:
How do the 2022 Tennessee Vols handle a loss?
Will we let Georgia beat us twice?

Rough day yesterday guys/gals. We def got taken to the Train station.

Mistake after mistake, we just looked overmatched in every way.

Gotta just take it week to week from here on out and I think we still get to the playoffs.

Cannot look past Mizzo or SC

They played pissed and we played scared. It happens some times when you play a good team.

I think yesterday was a blessing in disguise.

There is still some hardware available for some players on this team. And, a very special season, that was wildly unexpected.

Regarding your first statement, my hubby said the exact same thing yesterday..He also said what need to happen last night with Clemson and Bama both losing needed to happen to swing us in the think of the playoff hunt.

Remember we were 3 in the coaches and AP poll. #1 in the cfp because of our resume which didn’t get hurt with LSU winning. If anything it helps because Bama isn’t dropping out of top 10. We’ll still have 2 top 10 wins and a loss to #1 at their place. TCU was down in the 4th at home to Texas Tech who is terrible. I’d be shocked even undefeated if they’re above us in cfp poll.

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.

Not discounting Oregon right now.

They have two more top 25 matchups, and then another in the Pac championship.

Will be a top 10 matchup in the PAC championship.

So if they win those 3 games, they will have a strong case.

They have one already, against UCLA. They would have 4 wins against top 25 teams, just like us.

Sooooo let's hope they lose

There are too many variables to predict what the committee is going to do or how the final rankings will stack up. The next ranking means nothing with so many games left to play, but it’ll be interesting.

Vols can only control how they play the next three games. For some committee members, a 12-1 conference champ that finishes strong will edge out an 11-1 team that didn’t advance to the conference championship game, especially if it results in a more desirable CFP matchup. In the end, there’s considerable leeway in applying metrics, which allows subjectivity in finding exciting matchups that boost ratings and drive revenue.

I am grateful that our coaches don't do pedestrian juvenile crap like this. Act like you are a coach for an SEC P5 school. Not some neighborhood punk bully.

UGA is going to destroy them and I hope Louisville comes to play in their game with them too. If they finished the regular season at 7-5 I would not be sad in the least.

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.

The second one really pissed me off! I continued to argue as the game progressed..it’s unfair to the guy that initially recovered it.🙄

I am okay with this. And there is a strong preference for SEC teams - harder schedule, traveling fans, greater excitement and revenue.

Why didn’t mincey play(or maybe he did come in and I didn’t notice)? Crawford had multiple false starts and was getting blown up

Mincey played. They kept swapping them. Mincey had a “false start” before the ball was technically set b/c both teams subbed.

I doubt there will be enough excitement for a rematch between #1 UGA and #4 UT. A #2 OSU/UM vs #3 UT would be a very desirable matchup, and if UT had played UGA close in a competitive game, I think that ranking would have been penciled in. Vols need to dominate the next three games and hope the dominos fall UT's way. There will be headwinds with putting two SEC teams in the playoffs with the way this weekend played out.
