Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

The LSU guy was saying they should be in the playoffs every year at 12 teams. Makes sense. That’s how I think about Tennessee at this point with how much our AD is spending on football every year. Last year fiscal year 2024 Tennessee was 3rd in the SEC behind Alabama and A&M in football spending
The LSU guy is delusional if "every year" is the expectation.

On average, maybe 3-4 SEC teams get in under a 12-team format. Let's just say 4 to be generous.

Imo UGA/Bama might expect 75% because they're top 3 in recruiting every year. There's an EV of 1.5 teams in every year.

Then you have top 4-10 recruiting schools - Texas, LSU, TAMU, borderline OU. Let's say they are merely 50%. That's 2 more teams. For a total of 3.5 teams.

That leaves ALL the other teams (us, UF, Ole Miss, Auburn...maybe USC, Arky, Vandy 🤮, etc) to get ONE of the group in every 2 years.

Which tells you even the math for the top teams is overloaded......

The math just doesn't math when everyone is playing each other. My goalpost for UT has been every 3 years. Now, if we can begin regular top-10 recruiting, and especially if it moves to 16-teams, then I'll expect 50%+.

Lose and it gets pretty nasty. Tennessee should win this one. At home year 5 at night etc. Oklahoma QB has a broken hand that hasnt healed effectively yet
Win or lose the final 2 games are very tough.

Tonight holds little in terms of those 2 outcomes. But playoff hopes are do or die. That said, I honestly have the same feeling of this team as I did last year. Maybe we squeak in, but my hopes for any sort of a playoff run are low, barring a major comeback of injured players.

What horror movies have you all been enjoying this halloween season?

My top 2 so far have been 1) Bring Her Back and a close 2nd) Weapons

All suggestions welcome.
my daughter wanted to be anabelle before I put brakes on that. Id say just put a creepy porcelain doll somewhere in the house and tell wife and kids it's haunted.

Dolls have just never done it for me. Even Chuckie just seemed silly to me.

Real life horror terrifies me far more. Bring Her Back is that. Real human conditions and madness.
