What has to happen for Tennessee to get into the playoffs now?

[Willie Hutch]

This may be my first post. Not sure. The team played well tonight against an elite UGA team. The one drive with the questionable facemask and BS 12 men on the field was the deciding factor tonight. With that being said, after the showing tonight, what has to happen for us to have an opportunity to play in the playoffs?

 

[tnmarktx]

We’re done.

A miracle

 

[Tnman1]

Georgia will get in with two losses, we won't. It's over.

 

[ButchPlz]

If it comes down to us or Bama, we have no chance. It is what it is, and the Michigan AD that is running the committee basically set the narrative last week.

Unless Indiana loses by 100 to Ohio State and a bunch of other teams crap the bed we have no shot.

 

[vols 30]

Win the last 2 and hope for some help. Maybe a lot of help.

It's not impossible.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Just win the last 2 and hope for some upsets.

 

[ETV]

If the SEC runner up gets in with 3 losses over us, which the experts believe will happen…UT isn’t playoff bound.

And that's what is a joke. Head to head should matter and with LSU and Missouri dropping out of thr top 25 then that only gives bama 2 wins against top 25

 

[JBVolunteer]

Not getting in with that showing. It’s over.

Depends on the SEC standings after this weekend.

Since LSU/Mizzou lost, there are only 6 teams left to finish season at 6-2 with UGA finishing tonight.

Not sure who goes to Atlanta if 6 teams finish 6-2 (after the much hyped 8 way tie at 6-2 would result in LSU/BAMA in Atlanta)

 

[aRmo]

Yall worried about getting in at 10-2. Vandy gonna carve us up to.

A turn of events

 

[GreveHaller]

play in 2025

 

[wmcovol]

Florida or Miss St beat Ole Miss, Auburn beat Ala, Aub beat A&M & A&M beat Texas. USC beat ND.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

An act of God. Everybody in the top 15 losing. A miracle. You name it. The playoff committee isn't putting us in the playoff.

 

[LickSkillet]

OP, it’s over man. Arkansas was game over

 

[Elhanan]

UT will be lucky to be top 20 after tonight.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Blow out the next two and hope for teams above us to lose. Hard to say for sure until the rankings come out.

 

[JMSqb11]

something tells me this loss isn’t gonna drop us down far. I’d be shocked if we drop out of Top 12

 

[rdk4121]

We need either Notre Dame to lose, BYU to lose, or Indiana to lose 2. I would imagine even if Ohio state loses to IU they'd still be ahead of us. Let's go Army.

Essentially if BYU loses, Big XII is for sure only getting 1 team in. That might open one up for us. Penn State losing would also probably be enough given their awful schedule.

There is no Chaco.

 

[Cartervol]

What does it matter. UGA sucks. We suck worse.

Last week two teams moved ahead of us for (very narrowly) beating teams that probably aren’t going to bowls. The committee was already positioning us so they could drop us as far as possible. No chance we’re in the top 12 Tuesday. I’d be unsurprised to see Colorado ahead of us

 

[Chad F]

Well, we’re back to hoping for other teams to help us out because we can’t get it done on the field ourselves. Great.
