Our ranking

[deatojl]

if Indiana and USC go 10-2 i bet they get in..

Indiana will only be left out if Notre Dame goes 10-2 but i don't see that...

the other possibility is the ACC runner up getting in at 10-3 or 11-2

I don't think a SEC team gets in this year at 9-3 no matter who it is

The only scenario I could see at this point for a 3 loss SEC team to get in is if Bama loses two conference games but makes the SECCG and wins it.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

The highest 7 ranked non-automatic qualifiers make it in. Keep that in mind. The record is important, but only as a differentiator...

We didn’t play and moved up 3. Let’s cancel the rest of our games and win the NC!

The narrative all weekend long was against Tennessee even with us setting at #1 folks were arguing for those other teams.

And had those teams won and defeated their opponent more convincingly - the conversation could have easily swayed the other way

No they weren’t that’s just crazy talk

To be fair, our best win is an OT road win against Miss. St. Our loss was at home to Georgia who bama soundly handled in Athens. I don't think the Vols are in position to argue with rankings. Just keep winning.

3-point win = "soundly handled." Huh. Wonder if you'd call a 3 point win by the Vols "soundly handling" an opponent.

Yeah, my mistake apologies for the error.

I'm thinkin dey's a way at 7-8 SEC teams make the CFP.
I mean if half the conference plays, the ones who don't are really bad then.

Stop with the quality of win thing! The quality of everyone's wins in not that great.

Oregon's quality win is Penn State. How does that look now?

Ohio State's quality win is Texas. How does that look now?

Miami's quality of win is Notre Dame and FSU? Those teams each have 2 losses.

Ole Miss's quality win in LSU whose quality win was Clemson who is now 2-3.

Damn ! Fan bring it !!!! All good points .

We were truly impressive in our win over BYE U this last weekend and the voters favored us in today’s poll!
GBO!

Everyone kinda sucks. We shouldn’t fear any team this year.

I wouldn’t call a 3 point win “soundly”. If UGA kicks the FG they go into OT. Alabama was ranked where they were because of the win against UGA, its their best win, but still a 3 point win.

My twins still won’t tell me what that really means..

Maybe a spectrum analyzer for personalities.

 

[camp_steveo]

Win and let the chips fall where they may.

It’s from an obscene track by Skrilla.

Funny saying, awful rapper.
