Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[MarcoVol]

TAMU and Bama are probably in. Unless UGA loses to Texas or GA Tech, they're probably in. Now, look at Ole Miss's schedule after they play Oklahoma this weekend. Nothing but cupcakes. They don't play Bama this year. So if they win this weekend, that's 4 SEC teams likely to finish ahead of us. Do you think more than 4 SEC teams make it in? I don't. I don't think the Big 10 or the other conferences allow it.

Just bc Ole Miss plays cupcakes doesn’t mean they’ll win all games. Lost to a poop UK team last year. Wazzu, a team that lost by 50+ to North Texas, took them to the brink this year.

But this is true for all of college football. As soon as you think you have these teams figured out something wild happens.

ESPN playoff predictor has Vols 90+% chance to make playoff @ 10-2.

LOL

Seems fairly par for the course to me.

So, let’s go through it:

- Texas, UT, and LSU have 2 losses, so they have to win out. Texas still plays Vandy, UGA, and A&M. Texas can beat Vandy to give them a second loss and lose to one of the others. UT has to win out, which would give OU and Vandy a loss. LSU still plays Bama, A&M, and OU. Texas and LSU are out.
- Vandy, OU, Ole Miss, UGA, and Mizzou have one loss. Vandy or Mizzou will have two after this weekend, and UT would have to beat Vandy to knock them out. If Mizzou loses, they still play A&M and OU. OU and Ole Miss play this weekend. Ole Miss might have a chance with a loss because the rest of their schedule is easy. I’m going to say Vandy, Mizzou, and OU are out.
- That leaves A&M, Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, and UT. UT and Ole Miss would be very comparable. UGA still has GTech, too. If Texas can somehow beat them, that gets interesting. If we had finished UGA, they would be in trouble. A&M has a difficult schedule as well.
- Also, there are almost surprises, like UF beating Ole Miss last year.

Ole Miss and UT are only comparable if OM loses another game. They play OK this weekend. After that, cupcakes.

Just win this Saturday, that’s all that matters. We will deal with Oklahoma next Saturday.

If TV stays, he better win big this season.

Fans will have a very short leash/memory

Sure, but they go at MSU to end the year. I know they will be pumped to hurt their season.

But, people did this last year, too. It will all work itself out. Wining out will be tough though.

We would be in the playoff if we win out and go 10-2.

I forgot I had it. I was trying to upload the regular weezer picture.

Why are people so shocked we would be in at 10-2? Without anything else happening, in the next two weeks with wins we would be 2-3 spots higher at around 13-14 already because teams ahead of us are playing. Not to mention later games between UGA/GT etc and should Vandy win this weekend our game against them. It’s not even chaos happening it’s just there will be outcomes.

So they think 5 SEC teams could make it?

if by chance 5 have more than 10 wins then yes. Statistically speaking the chances of that are very low. With Penn State and Michigan being down the BIG might only get 3 in. Lots of games to play which means a lot more losses.

I just know how stupid some of our fans are - don’t you?

Ill be enjoying thar beautiful new stadium appreciating that we have a pulse.

You can be miserable.

I think it will all work itself out with many big games still left. Just like it did last year.

We would be in the playoff if we win out and go 10-2.

Our odds of actually winning out are 15%. I would bet if we win out that not only are we in but we actually host the our first game.

Orange and white fireworks coming out of a gun held by a mascot Smokey with a Davy Crockett Coonskin hat on, and in the other hand he’s got a cold PBR. Why PBR? Because f*** you, that’s why.

Go Vols.

Short of a losing record, I don’t see that at all. Tony might as well be Jesus.

Vol fans are now shipping mustard bottles to Buster Posey’s office.

Vol fans are not shipping mustard bottles to Buster Posey’s office.

(Side note, I kinda love this pops up on Google when I just search “Frenchs mustard gif”).

So on a serious note, who is this guy? And does him asking this question pose well for us or am I reading too much into the tweet?
