#4 seed or Sugar Bowl

[Vols1966]

If this has been ask please merge.

What would you want more? Vols being a #4 seed playing #1 seed and prob being picked to lose OR a Sugar Bowl berth and a good chance of winning?

Seriously? C'mon man

I seriously doubt anyone else has asked this question.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

You serious Clark?

Sugar bowl and New Orleans on NYE would be pretty rowdy and if you would have asked me a year ago I would have been extremely pleased with the progress.

Seeing us absolutely shred LSU and beat Bama and everyone else we have—I want another crack at Georgia. I’d like to be in Atlanta on NYE even tho it’s not a cool city.

Well considering out of 125 division 1 college football teams only like 8 have ever made the playoffs, I'll take the playoffs.

Do you guys think they would keep us at 4? I’m wondering if they move us to 3 to avoid a rematch in a semifinal. This is of course assuming we get there. I’m guessing it would be against Ohio State or Michigan in Tempe.

It’s all about what the rest of the country does and how we perform these last 3. They def want to put us back in is the vibe I’m getting in.

We get more flexibility if tcu loses to Texas and Oregon and Southern Cal each losing one would pretty much guarantee us a slot.

We'll be @ 3

Staying the obvious, you can't pay for the kind of exposure of being in the playoffs. Huge, huge boost to recruiting. No brainer you take the playoffs.

 

[PhillyRealtor]

Tennessee will be no.3 in final playoff poll after michigan/Ohio state take care of each other

 

[CAVPUT]

We'll be @ 3

If we do get in, we'll be a 4 seed. They will do everything possible to avoid an all SEC final.

 

[utvolpj]

Not even sure why this would be in dispute. Playoffs

Exactly. It's sad to say but the playoffs have kind of rendered the bowl games as an afterthought. That's another reason why I'm all for playoff expansion. It allows the major bowls to be incorporated in the playoffs annually, thereby making them relevant again. Perhaps even more so.

 

[Alto1]

A chance to possibly win another NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP or definitely not even have that opportunity? SERIOUSLY???

 

[Behr]

After you list all the reasons why the answer is the playoffs, add Florida ain't been yet.

They’ve never done that in the past.

Plus a thumping by Ohio State over Michigan...or visa versa. We've got some good paths as long as we take care of business.

I really do not understand the SEC victim complex. This conference is 100% the media darling. It isn’t 1965 anymore. Why have they not “done everything possible to avoid an all SEC final” in the past? Your assertion is completely baseless.

I want Georgia again. End of discussion

TN vs GA is a better game and ratings for the Championship.
Also I think they'd rather not have same conference match up in the first round

That warrants a DOUBLE face palm dude

Actually they do everything they can to avoid a rematch in the semifinals.

Here's how this plays out= Texas beats TCU this weekend. Michigan knocks off Ohio St. LSU knocks off Georgia in SEC title game Oregon loses to the first school that has a decent team. This moves the Vols up to #1 and we run the table. Bank on it.
