IF we can manage to skirt up three spots a week over the next month ….

That puts us at 12. I know I’m dreaming but what the hay.

But then there's tie breakers that don't favor us

Who knows but it looks non-existent at this point

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I guess anything can happen.

But I'm laughing at how people used to whine about the playoffs would "ruin" the regular season and whining about 3 loss teams making the playoffs.....and here were are with people whining that other teams are ahead of us and trying to figure out how to get us in at 3 losses.

THANKS, Otis!

You put enough monkeys in a room with enough typewriters, and eventually one of them will type out the complete works of Shakespeare.

This forum, vn.com, is the room. We're the monkeys. Everything that can possibly be said about Tennessee football, WILL be said. And agreed with. Even the most extreme, silly, stupid things.

The trick to understanding the ebb and flow is this: it's not the same people saying all those things. Some people say one thing, some say another. It is only in your mind (most of the time) that anyone is arguing with himself. Most folks here have coherent viewpoints. We may not agree with them, but at least they're consistent. [then there are the few who aren't lol]

Go Vols!

We're 25 in the CFP poll

Considering we haven't beaten anybody with a pulse, I wouldn't count on it. Then there's having to play at the Swamp and that's most likely a loss. It's a loss until we prove we can win there

You’re not dreaming, brother… you’re on drugs.

“I’ll have what he’s having“

 

[I4Vols]

You're dream is just a continuation of a nightmare... 5 yd penalty/missed FG and two opponent defensive TDs any of which kept us out of playoff contention. So close, yet so far

Oh it has ruined the game. There is no world where a 3 loss team SHOULD have a chance to play for a title. Yet here we are

12 won't get you in. The group of 5 team will take that spot

Don’t see anyway TN gets in but I understand the dreaming. When you bleed orange you always want TN to win. I’ll be thrilled if we win out and make a good bowl game against a quality opponent and win!

Go VOLS!

It’s been tough. The missed FG to beat GA in regulation was the most painful to me, especially since we haven’t beat GA in years. I’m hoping (it is possible but not probable, about 25% odds) we win out, including the bowl game, getting another 10 win season. That will keep us in the Top 15, with a slim shot at a Top 10 finish in the final rankings.

Go VOLS!

 

[C-south]

Lol. It ain’t happening. It’s playoffs or bust now and we aren’t participating. Hopefully some younger guys can get some experience. Make Redmond play man bump and run coverage the rest of the season.

The #12 team won’t make it in. The playoff isn’t the top 12. Because of auto bids it’ll be probably top 10 or less

 

[Zues1]

Okay man....

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I’d love to go get beaten by 40 again in the first round. Gotta do wonders for recruiting.

 

[sambronkowitz]

For the love of God, please stop.

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

We're not going to the playoffs. Anyone and everyone here can copy this and make me eat crow if I'm wrong. I will literally eat crow and produce a video of it if I'm wrong, but.... WE'RE NOT GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS.

Struggle with math a bit? 42 - 17 = 25. Still a beat down but a bit of an exaggeration.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

We're 25 in the CFP poll

This, not sure where the 'we need to move up 3 spots' comes from. The only poll that matters is the one that has us at 25.

If you watched that game, abd I’m sure you did, it felt like we were beaten by 60. Could’ve been much worse. Was over before it started.

It was 21-10 at halftime with us getting the ball to start the 2nd half. Couldn't have been much worse. We have had far more talented teams get beat much worse in big games.

Take more than 3 spots, new Mexico dt ain't gonna move the needle
