Just so you all know, the entire SEC especially LSU and UGA are praying that we don't make the playoffs

[BigOrangePaddy]

And you know what i say? **** em.

Considering who LSU is playing in Atlanta, they have almost zero shot at it.

TCU is above us, but still needs to face Baylor and win its conference championship game. The loser of Ohio State/ Michigan won't get in imo.

The biggest threat is a potential 1 loss oac 10 champion like USC especially imo.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

Man, i havent been SEC, SEC, SEC in a long time. All those fanbases have done nothing but make fun of us and kick UT they were at their lowest. They can all kiss my ass. With all due respect to them.

 

[volfan102455]

I truly believe that neither one of those teams want to play us again this year.

 

[utvolpj]

The entire sec?

 

[bigorangecrush89]

The entire sec?

Oh yeah, all the other fanbases hate UT. There are bromances at times between certain of them, but i dont think ive read an opposing sec fan say anything positive or respectful of UT, at least online.

 

[DaddyChad]

The entire sec?

Hell yeah PJ. Did you see how much Kentucky hates us? They lost to Vandy just to devalue that win.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Usc will lose to either ucla or notre dame. Hopefully.

 

[Vol737]

Looking forward to these unanswered prayers.

Just for that we're going to beat them in basketball again

What makes "you believe" that LSU or UGA would "not want to play us again"?

 

[bigorangecrush89]

Ill also be honest and say i think UGa would beat UT handily again if they played again. They have five stars backing up five stars. And UT’s secondary play is still awful. They damn well should win the NC every year. Just as Saban pretty much should have. Bama still has five stars backing up five stars with a heisman qb and is just “pretty good” this year.

The biggest threst is a potential 1 loss oac 10 champion.like USC especially.

USC is 0-1 against ranked opponents. They’d be 2-1 if they win out (3-1 depending on who makes the CG with them)

I think they would rather play someone out of the conference - increases UGA's chance at a NC.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

You know I’m really starting to hate LSU. Their fans may be the worst. We totally dominate them at their place and now they’re like “are y’all going to Atlanta?” Makes me sick

 

[cwbytruckers]

Ive seen USC play a few times including the Utah game. They in my opinion are in the same situation we are. Offense is really good but defense needs improving. I could see USC losing to both UCLA and Notre Dame.

I get what you are saying; however, look what we are saying about Michigan (and rightfully so), who have they played to be undefeated?

We want the conference to be strong so that nobody can say that about us.

This year it is to our favor if the teams in the West that we play don’t lose to anyone but us other than Bama and LSU since we played and beat both of them.

For that reason I pull for other teams in the SEC as it helps us.

If you disagree, would you want to be like TCU?

I know after watching that game last night both they and Texas would not do well in our conference and if they make the playoffs they will get boat raced.

As I have posted before “A rising tide lifts all boats” and our boat is like all the others in the conference.

Took the words out of my mouth.

 

[volfan102455]

To better explain why I think UGA and LSU don't want us in the playoffs. Having to play us again is only 1 of the reasons. There are stakes that are much higher though and both those teams NEED the focus to be on them.

UGA and LSU want to be the new Bama, Bama wants to remain as Bama - for a long time we have not been a challenge to any of that.

This coaching staff has had incredible success without the 5 star recruits. This season has brought excitement - the atmosphere at Neyland is incredible and that has been noticed. Not making the playoffs takes a little away from that - making the playoffs, whether we win or not, adds to that and will / should attract those top recruits. If Hooker is invited to the Heisman awards, and he should be, that is big for the program.

That is the stakes and if this season turns the tide with the recruiting, Tennessee becomes a threat to all the teams that want to be Bama.

LSU could care less, they know they arent going

 

[Golfprovol]

LSU could care less, they know they arent going

The phrase is COULDN'T CARE LESS. The way you stated it means they are able to care less about the topic, which is saying they care.

Sorry to be grammar police but things like that perpetuate the "dumb hillbilly" stereotype.

 

[Zues1]

I'm sure the " LSU fanwagons" are dusting off their Burrow jerseys in anticipation of another Sec Championship....

Are you saying the committee will pick Tennessee over a 1 loss Pac Champ?

I hope you're right but I ain't betting on it. I'd feel better if UCLA beats them.

 

[YankeeVol]

I don’t think they win out anyway.

It’d definitely be an interesting decision either way

 

[Behr]

I've got several gater fan friends and they hope we make the playoffs and beat Georgia. They know I wouldn't feel the same about them.

I Alabuckinfama fan friend that hopes we make the playoffs because he'd like to see 2 SEC teams in it.

That's only a couple or 3 samples, but I bet theres more. I don't believe the op is accurate.

They’re going to get curb stomped by GA.
