Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Enki_Amenra]

Prepare to be nervous all night. . . our last few games in Lexington have been really close.

 

[Garren04]

Y’all are crazy. I don’t care if we squeak by 2-0 in all the remaining games. 10-2 is in especially with all the other teams who play each other.

It’s not a guarantee this year. Especially when our best win would be Vandy.

I mean, I definitely hope you’re right! But I think you also forget that, assuming everyone does win out, Bama and Georgia have to play each other again in the SECC game. So that would be a two loss team that has the head to head against us. And then, if memory serves me correctly, I don’t have the rankings in front of me, Ole Miss also has one loss. So if they get a second, I would think they get in ahead of us. Overall, I’m just not seeing us with a path.

Again, I absolutely hope I am wrong and will happily be wrong! But I just don’t see it.

there was a penalty in the vandy game but ESPN didn't show the ref until after he announced the infraction.

It looked like it was either Jason Autry or Steve Marlowe.


*It's UA alum Steve Marlowe....

I think if Marc Bolan would have lived to see Warrant he would have had regrets.

Looks like Marlowe.

Looks like Marlowe.

It is

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

So, interestingly, he got aggressive clearly in FG position, and the holding penalty put it back to a 52 yard attempt. Just something to think about next time we are positioning for a game winning score.

And…I know you are using sarcasm.

It was in the third quarter when they had a fourth down and three at the opponents 7 yard line and he passed on the field goal to go for it and got stuffed. That opened the door. And not having that three points ended up costing them the game.

CBS Sports Cover 3 Podcast has been pushing the narrative that The SEC is overrated and that The Big 10 should get more teams in the playoffs.

Tejas / MSU game referee.....


*The ACC allows the world to listen and watch the replay booth communicate with the on field referee and the SEC doesn't even list what officials are going to be calling which games. Secrecy is corruption!

ACC > SEC





*it's Jason Autry. ESPN commentator said it but the camera didn't show him until after he made the call. That's 2 ESPN games that didn't show the referee making the infraction announcement. What's up with that???* @OGbabyaviVol

I'd like to see the B10 teams play basically any SEC schedule and see how it works out for them.

 

[Rishvol]

I didn't know bama could get called for holding

 

[tn88volfan]

Alabama holding flags come out everywhere but Tuscaloosa

 

[SpringBokVol]

Why didn’t we get this version of Bama?

 

[jordan4vols]

I think you're just saying that because 10-2 got us in last year. Coupled with some AP poll logic.

The AP poll doesn't matter. There are 7 SEC teams ahead of us. You need to look at the remaining games and figure out how that's going to end up being 3. Because any more than three ahead of us (or effectively tied with Bama and Georgia), and we do not get in.

It’s not a guarantee this year. Especially when our best win would be Vandy.

I mean, I definitely hope you’re right! But I think you also forget that, assuming everyone does win out, Bama and Georgia have to play each other again in the SECC game. So that would be a two loss team that has the head to head against us. And then, if memory serves me correctly, I don’t have the rankings in front of me, Ole Miss also has one loss.

I’m not going to argue with all yall because as I said it’s not a valid argument you are presenting. It’s more likely the SEC gets five teams than not because ND, G5, Big 10 (three), and Big 12 (one) and ACC (one) are the most likely scenarios. Leaving 5 remaining teams. I’ll even give you Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, and A&M. If we beat OU and Vandy they’re out. UGA beats Texas, they’re out. LSU in that scenario loses to AM or Bama. Missouri in that scenario loses to AM or Vandy. We are the 5th team. If we win the next two weeks we’ll be around 13-14 in initial cfp rankings with three weeks of wins and ranking shake up to go.

It’s simply not a valid argument to say 10-2 and we’re not in. Even the Allstate cfp predictor gives us like a 96% chance at 10-2.

 

[Ten_Titans]

It’s really 5 teams playing for 4/5 spots. A&M, Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, and UT given we win out. The rest all works itself out with teams playing each other. Mizzou coujd be included if they beat Vandy. Vandy loses head to head with us.

Texas and LSU very much still alive, but sure. Let's say you're right.

Let's even take Mizzou out.

Ole Miss: one loss and no hard games left. They are most likely in.

TAMU: No losses and two moderately difficult games. Reasonably say they split those, and they are in.

Bama: Sits at one loss, holds head to head over us.

Georgia: Sits at one loss, holds head to head over us.

That's it. There's your 4 SEC teams in the playoff. Completely discounting Mizzou, Texas, and LSU (which you obviously can't. They are having the same conversation we are).

I’m glad DW decided to go with Elander as the BaseVols head coach..at least he’ll be able to keep all of player on the current roster and the ones in our recruiting classes.

 

[Jimmy Football]

From Baseball Forum:

Per AP on VQ, Frank is sticking around until he retires (in like 1-2 years) and Q is gonna stay as well. Basically the whole band is staying together

 

[knoxvol52]

Alabama converts on a 3rd and 20 ..good grief.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

@OGbabyaviVol....


I bet we're getting the former alabama team captain and Sun Bowl MVP David Smith (again).


*edit- @mr.checkerboards said it's Kyle Olson.....
He's partly the reason georgia lost to bama the last couple of times they played and he reffed. According to my post history, he officiated our 24 Arkansas and UTEP games and also our 23 UCONN.
