OGAAT (One game at a time!) - Go Vols!

Looks good - fair to me. Indiana has a solid squad but the recipient of an easy schedule enabling them to playoff berth- most likely.

Texas Tech is the real deal, imo - not sure who they play down the road.

The SEC is loaded as each Saturday will be filled dogfights & upsets.

TN Vols? Win and all is well.

Go Vols!

Edit- Texas Tech has BYU are two toughest games remaining - schedule is a joke but they will get a bid most likely. 🤦

We are definitely in charge of our own destiny. That's all we can ask for.

I know what I am about to type is sacrilegious, but I hope we win enough to get in and grab a favorable seed but not do so well to be in the SEC Championship game.

This is fair for us.

Penn State has no business being ranked though, Nico and UCLA are the worst team in FBS.

Worst out of the 68 Power 4 schools this year? Yes, easily.

Worst out of all 136 FBS teams? Eh…there were still probably 10-25 worse. (UCLA was easily in the 100s - at best - going into Saturday though).

Indiana still has games AT Oregon and AT Penn State. Odds are that they lose at Oregon to get the first loss. That will be Oregon's last real test. Michigan still has to play OSU last game of the season - expect them to be 10-1 going into that game. Upsets are not as common in the B1G as they are in the SEC - the scheduling quite honestly protects teams. This coming weekend will either separate two of the also rans (Illinois and Indiana) from OSU, Oregon and Michigan or make a mess of that conference. If Indiana and Illinois were to pull off the upsets, very possible that you could have the following - which will then push some SEC teams down - because they are not dropping OSU or Oregon out of the top ten if they lose.

12-0 Indiana Team
11-1 Illinois Team
11-1 Oregon Team
Then OSU and Michigan => One would be 10-2 and one would be 11-1.

There are other teams, Washington, USC that could make some noise but not sure.

This is exactly the same thing that happened last year - SEC had a host of teams near the top only to see them fall and the B1G take over.

The B1G which they would like to think they do, do NOT have the same level of parity from top to bottom in their conference.

My bad. I had Texas techs schedule pulled up, not Indiana’s - 🤦‍♂️

But a 11-1 or even a 10-2 Indiana team will make playoff imo. Penn state will either fold or turn it around and run table.

LOL this is insane on your take

Indiana is not going 12-0, 10-2 at best
Illinois is not going 11-1, that's simply ridiculous because they play Ohio St this week and will lose at Washington too
Oregon will go 12-0 or 11-1
Ohio St will go 12-0 or 11-1
Michigan will lose to USC, maybe Washington and Ohio St

I don't get TTech being ranked above us. This pole puts us as middle of the pack in the SEC. That doesn't settle right with me. We're definitely not top three, but I don't know about being the 7th best SEC team.

We shall see - you do realize that if Washington and USC win some of the games you are thinking they win, they could also end up 11-1 or 10-2.

We will get a chance to prove we are better than 7th against Bama and OU.

There are four undefeated teams - be thankful they don't have Missouri ahead of us. Then there are the 1 loss teams, Georgia beat us, Bama beat Georgia, LSU lost a close one at Mississippi.

I think we are better than 7th to, but based on play to date, we are where we are at for a reason. Who would you put below us based on results to date?

USC yes has a shot but so what...

Ohio St, Oregon, Indiana, and USC are the most the big ten will get
Georgia, Tennessee, Tx A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma or Alabama
ACC Champ
Big Xii Champ
AAC champ

That's likely where we are headed

Maybe. Washington’s 4-1 record at this point consists of beating Colorado State (1-4), UC Davis, Washington State (2-3), and Maryland (who’s 4-1 with wins over FAU, NIU, Towson, and 2-3 Wisconsin). They’re not that great of a 1-loss team.
