Does VT have a lot of sex crimes to cover up, though? That’s Franklin’s bag.

Where is this Franklin to Arkansas noise coming from? I see it being discussed but I'm not sure why. That's not serious. And I checked Arkansas' message boards. No one there is saying that.

I have no idea. I just thought it was perfect that Franklin went to Pedo St. And even funnier that he got fired.

6-3 Iowa 2 spots ahead of us is a joke.

I hate Iowa with a passion, I hope they burn to the ground, and I’d appreciate it for the old person in the room not to mention them again, at least when I’m lurking. At my age it might send me into a coronary Episode and I’m sure nobody wants that on their conscience.

Notre Dame doesn't deserve to be at #9 in the CFP. They're there on name alone. Their schedule doesn't support the ranking. I hope they lose to Pitt this weekend.

Texas is also overrated. What sucks is being rated #10 means we probably don't jump them if Georgia thumps them this weekend.

Several teams in front of us that we are better than, but the most glaring is 3 loss Iowa. Given who our losses are to, we should be the highest ranked 3-loss team.

We need total chaos in college football the next few weeks with us winning out. We won't make the playoffs, but I want us to finish as the highest rated SEC team to miss the playoffs. Let's at least get a Florida bowl.

Their worst loss: Iowa State by 1
Other two: Indiana by 5 and Oregon by 2
Best win: I guess I’d say Wisconsin 37-0

Our worst loss: OU by 6
Other two: Bama by 3 and UGA by 3 in OT
Best win: Kentucky?

On paper, it actually makes sense. I didn’t watch the Indiana and Oregon games because my interest in Iowa football is about the same as watching paint dry. Having said that, our team is inconsistent and loses in embarrassing fashion games it had no business losing. So I totally get why Iowa is ahead of us given the one game they shouldn’t have loss, Iowa state, they did and it was by 1 point. It was also a rivalry game, so my assumption is the committee took that into consideration as well.

Teoscar is more of a DH now and rumors that we will try to trade him.(I doubt it) We need a LF. Kike is great but more of a do everything guy. There are rumors of us going after Tucker, trading for Kwan, or even a Bellinger reunion.

The Japanese slugger is a big time Boom or Bust player and I lean heavily to him being a bust in MLB.

I’m actually starting to hate the sport. Big money and corporate have ruined it.

Yup. Younger fans are not going to be able to understand what we had and experienced. Which is a shame.

All things change over time. But what is lost sometimes is that it does not always have to change for the worse.

So are we rooting for OU and TX to lose this weekend?

All this complaining when the Vols have squandered 3 games. Focus needs to be identifying the weaknesses, mitigate them the rest of this year and addressing them in the offseason. I would love to win out but I feel we will have issues doing that.

It's irritating, because we're a few errors away from being undefeated. . . they are pretty massive errors, but change about 3-5 plays and we're the #2 or 3 team in the country, maybe #1.

Point is, we're not just having our asses handed to us on a $.10 paper plate and getting kicked out of the car 5 miles from the house at 3am.

Read he is probably Seattle bound... Also read Dodgers targets are BP and either Kyle Tucker or going to run it back with Cody Bellinger returning...

Dude if we get Cody I’ll be pissed…he hasn’t been the same in YEARS!..he was a wasted spot in my opinion like Chris taylor..I’d rather take Kyle and I’m not thrilled with that piece either

If they trade teoscar I’ll be shocked but if they do it’s because his stock is high and they want to capitalize on that..I get it but i don’t understand the shuffling pieces in the OF when our bullpen needs a overhaul entirely
