LOL! You give your OPINION without a single reason or justification and then declare “just being realistic.” The narcissistic takes on this board are truly amazing.🤡

We will secure a playoff spot after the men in orange take down Diego Blahvia.

the concepts of 'hope' and 'realistic' do not typically lead to the same conclusion. Hope is usually a better outcome than realistic.

Ohio State (Big Ten auto)
Alabama (SEC auto)
Georgia Tech (ACC auto)
Texas Tech (Big 12 auto)
Navy/5th best conference champ (auto)

6. Indiana
7. Texas A&M
8. Georgia
9. Oregon
10. Ole Miss
11. Miami
12. Notre Dame
13. Tennessee

If any of the following happens, Tennessee would be in playoff at 10-2:

Georgia Tech reg season loss (UGA) + ACC CG loss, OR Miami reg season loss

Ole Miss loss

Notre Dame loss

The only team that could jump Tennessee even if winning our would be Texas, but they would have to also win out (Vandy, @GA, A&M).

Definitely 90%+ chance per current odds

That's not even remotely true, the SEC and Big 10 will get four teams each into the playoff. As it stands right now Texas A&M, Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss are in. The only thing that has to happen for Tennessee to get in is for Ole Miss to lose another game or for 5 SEC teams to get in. Obviously, Tennessee has to win out or it's irrelevant, but the pool for playoff teams in other conferences continues to shrink. The only "lock" in the ACC is Miami at the moment. The only "lock" in the Big 12 is Texas Tech and they have a loss. The Big 10 has two locks but then they have a bunch of ok teams like Iowa, Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan, and USC. The PAC 12 is abysmal. Notre Dame is by far the most likely at large team and it's not close. Certainly some things have to happen including Tennessee finding a defense but they have a pretty good shot IF they win out. Michigan still has to play OSU, Iowa would probably have to win the BIG as would USC, Oregon and Nebraska could easily drop another game neither have looked great lately. It's possible Miami could lose the ACC championship but outside of SMU the ACC is pretty below average. The pool of at large bids is starting to dwindle rapidly

Negativity ≠ realism

Overly emotional negative takes aren't any more "realistic" than overly emotional positive takes...

...we likely won't win out though.

What if GT and UVA both win out and UVA beats GT in ACC championship? They both will have 1 loss and be ranked over UT. If Miami also wins out that will leave all three with just 1 loss. UT's chances depend on what happens in the ACC, because GT, UVA, and Miami don't play each other. ACC could get 3 teams in. Not likely to happen but every game here on out is a playoff game for a lot of teams.

We have 3 conference wins against three of the worst teams in the league. Have not beat a ranked team to this point. 10-2 Might get us in , but we need help. That's the way it is. I believe we could win 10, but could lose a couple more. Let's see how it plays out.

I don't believe even if I am a good boy that my wife will pick up Chick-Fil-A on the way home today, so much would have to happen and fall in place for her to drop off the kids at their sports tonigh.Leftovers or a quick bowl of cereal is best we can hope for, just being realistic.

Why even watch if you are going to be that negative? If you have resigned us to not being in the playoff, then its pointless for you to even be here.
