So true. Glad we had a hand in it.

Ohio state would go to 3 if TCU and USC were both to lose right? Bama would go to 4 imo and depending on how much stock their putting in head to head we still have a shot. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but TCU is out with even with just one loss. They put stock in eye test as well. A bad TCU loss and USC loss, we’re right back in the Conversation.

The 63 SC put on our heads is what would keep Bama ahead of us Even with the head to head advantage. I could be way off here lol. But I think the top 7 will be the same as the AP.

TCU with one loss would still get in over Bama.

Did you check the odds on that parlay?

Not yet, probably not very good for me,

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Roman Harper. Had us 11-1

Pretty sure it was 10-2 with losses to LSU and Bama, but I could be wrong.

 

[OrangenSC]

Not a given. We will have a lot of time to prepare and one game is still not enough to pass judgment on Milton. You all are still looking at last year's Milton and thinking he has not changed and I think he clearly has.

And ignoring the rain. Some people, when they decide someone's bad, they can't see anything else.

Y'all hearing anything about Dallan Hayden?

 

[VolGee4]

Any good hotel recommendations for the Orange Bowl?

The stadium is up north outside Miami just off I-95. Fort Lauderdale is only about 25 minutes. South Beach is a little further the opposite way.

I give you the 2022 Vols offense:

Points per game average: 47.3 (first nationally)

Touchdowns: 75 (first nationally)

Rushing touchdowns: 39 (first nationally)

Passing touchdowns: 35 (tied fifth nationally)

Passing yards: 3,988 (third nationally)

Rushing yards: 2,469 (19th nationally)

Total yards: 6,457 (first nationally)

Just an unreal season of offense. Never thought I would see this kind of production on Rocky Top.

This you, @mrMet?

Jimmy Hyams is criminally idiotic about a lot of things. He’s still beating the drum that Tennessee will end up in the Cotton Bowl likely against Tulane. Would be very surprised if it’s not us and Clemson in the Orange. I guess Tuesday will tell the tale.

 

[Revived2002]

An odd thing I jut realized: leaving out Kiffin since he was only here one season, every coach post Dooley has had a win streak of at least 8 games. Hidden within Tennessee’s decade or more of miserable ineptitude was always the promise that the program could be elite. Heupel finally fulfilled that promise. Was a joy to watch this year!

And the original angle… because why not?

 

[jakez4ut]

The more I think about Bama being ranked above us the more I hate it. Not only did we beat them, we beat the other team that beat them, convincingly, at their place. On paper we are clearly better. I get that they only have two losses, both were close and in the final minutes, but you have to take on field results into account. Close doesn’t count.

I don't like it, but I understand how the USCe game negatively affects the perception.

I'd a subjective deal. Said it last night, we'll be 6 or 7, depending on where they decide to weight/proritize the voting criteria.

 

[Clevegasvol]

TCU with one loss would still get in over Bama.

Bama would beat the brakes off TCU. I think that’s something they take into account. I also wouldn’t be shocked if they put Bama at 5 and Ohio state at 6 and would only need one loss to get to the fourth spot.

Please please please happen

Feeling better Ron? We need you.

 

[engineerVOL]

lol i was 3 the last time we won 10+ regular season games

I was 19 and a freshmen at Tennessee. Was spoiled growing up. Had no idea Tennessee could possibly get as bad as we were over the last 15 years.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Feeling better Ron? We need you.

Yesterday helped a lot. Needed to see a big bounce back and it happened.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Any word on bigtime portal transfers to UT?

There are a few inside the conference guys who I think have interest in moving and TN would be option

- AP

 

[VolInDayton]

Y'all hearing anything about Dallan Hayden?

He's been doing pretty good for OSU, I doubt he transfers away with where he's at on the depth chart.

 

[engineerVOL]

LSU sharting their pants really took a lot of luster out of the SECCG.

Love it

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

If they do ever get up close to you, don't back down. Make yourself appear as large as you can and scream the 7 maxims as loud as you can while beating your chest and approaching one of them. If it comes to it, choke out or snapneck one of them in front of all the others.

Same exact way to handle the approach by any SEC fans.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

They also can't say they overlooked SC, after seeing what they did to us. His ego making him look like a giant douche.

So Dabo is status quo…

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Watching replay...Joe should have had 350+ and 5+ tds if he had just hit the wide open throws, and this is no exaggeration...we should have easily hung 77 on them.

Joe Milton should have 350+ and 5+ tds on only 21 throws....Iamaleava has to be drooling to get his chance. If Joe doesn't get his isht together and start to hit these wide open throws at a high percentage he won't keep the job long.

I really wish he would just calm down, he reportedly hits these throws automatically in practice...there is zero reason he doesn't do it in games except for adrenaline. He could win the Heisman in this offense if he can dial it in.
