Hendon is awesome...I love the guy, but Bryce Young is incredible. If it was not for his excellence and mental fortitude, Alabama would be a four loss team.

Look...I hate Alabama, but that kid is a special player.

We also would have beat Bama like we did Missou without Bryce

I just think if Michigan goes into Ohio and loses a close one in which they played well, the committee might still put them at 4 when it’s all said and done. One could argue that would give them the best one loss in all of college football (even better than our loss to UGA, because we didn’t play particularly well).

I wouldn’t argue that, because I think UGA would run Ohio. But many will.

Gameday all talked about what was more likely, 2 SEC teams in the playoff, or 2 Big10 teams in the playoffs. Outside of Big10, Michigan loving, Desmond Howard.. they all said SEC. Aka.. Tennessee over loser of the OSU/Mich game.

 

[MarcoVol]

Yep...if you're paid to play...you play. These kids can't have it both ways.

Nobody can say they’re “paid to play” bc it would violate NIL rules. Remember, schools don’t pay players. They aren’t on salary.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

How about Penix? Drove it down their throats all night.

Idk if he still is, but Penix was the leading QB in CFB in passing yards a week or two ago. Washington overall had the best passing offense. Idk if those stats still hold true but they were a couple weeks ago.

 

[LoudOrange]

No, but we should have played Ohio State. They were the best team. We got a gift with FSU.

Meh, they lost at home to what turned out to be a 5-6 Michigan St team.

 

[utvolmaniac]

You should, they will be right behind us in the rankings going into the ACC championship. That means they get an extra game against a top 10 team while we watch the SEC championship. Talking heads will be all over this and how winning a P5 conference is so important.

Agreed, even though there are 5 SEC teams that could win the ACC easily.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Get after it folks. Hyatt in second again.

@Wickman and @Vol423 … did y’all turn your bots off? This is y’all’s fault

 

[Volsdeep4]

So do we still think that Kirby found the blueprint to stop our offense that everyone else will use?

Yeah have 5 stars at every position

 

[Dooby15]

It’s good to see Keyton keep making big plays. Had a 3rd and 10 diving catch with score at 14-7.

 

[Adam2014]

Yeah have 5 stars at every position

Have a two deep of 4 and 5 stars...

 

[MarcoVol]

Yeah have 5 stars at every position

UGA defensive scheme also confused our offense pretty bad. OL was baffled

 

[Vol since 77]

Going to see the basketVols stomp Colorado at Bridgestone arena shortly. GO VOLS!!!

 

[nicksjuzunk]

We get Vandy at home, though.

Every year

 

[kiloVOLt]

Had a feeling before the game that Washington was going to win. Their losses were all close. Glad they won. Everyone was saying that Oregon was the Pac-12’s only shot at a playoff team. Now that they lost, posters on here are saying USC will jump us. Same team that lost to Utah who lost to Florida… Were in if we win out. ACC is out because it’s a terrible conference and everyone has a loss.

The narrative seems to change every week with the national media finding a scenario to leave us out. I just have to laugh.

Nobody can say they’re “paid to play” bc it would violate NIL rules. Remember, schools don’t pay players. They aren’t on salary.

Not that many ignorant people most know exactly what NIL is all about. If you don't play in all the games that you're healthy and eligible for should be a breach of contract. All the opt-out players ruin the post season in college sports.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

We have 2 wins against top 10 teams and played the number 1 team in BCS. OSU Michigan loser will have played one game against a top 10 BCS team and lost…not sure how they can jump ahead of us even with all the OSU love from ESPN.

What’s the BCS?

 

[csprig9]

Yep. If USC loses, we’re in. Pretty simple. Go Bruins!

They have ucla, ND and probably Oregon left
If they win out , I give it to them, I hate to say it but they deserve a shot at the final four

We gotta keep winning
Hopefully We will be the beneficiary of the OSU/UM game or a tcu loss

Two locks are
UGA, OSU/Michigan winner

2 spots left for one loss USC, tcu or a 1 loss Tennessee

 

[Nash_Vol97]

UGA defensive scheme also confused our offense pretty bad. OL was baffled

Some for sure. I think the crowd caused more confusion than the defensive scheme. Can’t hear calls, hear checks, hear OL blocking changes, etc.

 

[jacobyvoln27]

It’s good to see Keyton keep making big plays. Had a 3rd and 10 diving catch with score at 14-7.

That was a great catch! Bru and Hyatt also helped on some high throws!

 

[DarthVol1]

Got on here this morning and was 80 pages behind so one of the few times I've skipped a lot of pages.

Two things some of you are borderline schizo, entertaining but crazy none the less. Secondly BigOrangeTrain and BelieveTheHeup need to have a thread just between the two of them!

We just won 66 - 24 and all they want to talk about is whether the does are worse under Martinez??

Put both on ignore like I have and you can catch up much faster.

 

[VolFanNC09]

What’s the BCS?

Meant CFP rankings…hadn’t had my coffee yet.

 

[MarcoVol]

Some for sure. I think the crowd caused more confusion than the defensive scheme. Can’t hear calls, hear checks, hear OL blocking changes, etc.

Heupel schemes up offense like a champ.

Kirby schemes up defense like a champ.

Crowd or not, Kirby won that battle. As he should. He is the reigning national champ HC and has had the best defense in college football for multiple years now.

Hope we get them again bc I’m excited and curious to see how Heupel responds.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I'm 74 and I want to be around for a few more years

I want to be able to snow ski, waterski and wakeboard into my 80s if I choose to. I realized as I approached my 60th birthday that I had been overweight (for me, too high body fat %, not enough lean body mass). I have decided that I am leaving my fat 50s behind.

Body weight squats have been a great way for me to lose weight, gain leg strength and endurance without endangering my back. Back surgery in 1992.
Body weight squats allowed me to get in shape for a 60+ mile hiking trip in the mountains of New Mexico at the Philmont Boy Scout High Adventure Camp (with a 60 lb backpack). I did squats then with my backpack at 50 lbs. and body weight only. (Age 57.)

I have a rowing machine that I am addicted to as well.
I lift weights for upper body, but not as often as I want to.

I will not go gently into my older years. I’m going to fight, and play, and enjoy as much as I can. I have partners that tell me that they are getting too old to do the things that I do. They are all 10 years or more younger than I am! Giving up and giving in like that is how you age gracelessly. I just laugh at them. They want to fade away, fine for them. No way in Hell is that gonna happen to me. You act OLD, you get OLD.
Eff that noise.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

This is why Texas is not competitive, leader making bad decisions

Their cheerleaders were dressed weird too.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

They will still matter. I hate and have always hated that stupid argument. You will still have to play great football and win games to get in, so the games will always matter, and then you will have even more games that matter.

What this means is that one freaking loss doesn't destroy your season.

Especially if it’s against a top 3 team..
