If all the 5-7 teams with a higher APR than us declined the bowl to put an end to a sorry season, then we accept and go beat the dog snot out of somebody, and end the year with a two game win streak.

If you haven't heard. I might could go.

Win out.

Perhaps you haven’t watched this year’s Vols team play? We ain’t beating the dog snot out of anybody. On the contrary, the exact opposite is much more likely to occur.

It’s not how it works. It's a straight selection list based on APR of all FBS teams that finished with a 5-7 record (instead of an eligible pool that a bowl can just choose a 5-7 team from a well).

And the APR scores of teams that could possibly finish at 5-7 (or 5-6):

Air Force (4-7 currently, still play: Utah St) - 995

Duke (5-6 currently, still play: @Wake) - 992

Minnesota (5-6 currently, still play: @Wisc) - 992

Vanderbilt (4-7 currently, still play: @UT) - 992

Maryland (4-7 currently, still play: PennSt) - 984

Georgia Tech (5-5 currently, still play: UGA) - 983

MTSU (5-6 currently, still play: Old Dominion) - 983

Utah (5-6 currently, still play: Colorado) - 983

Indiana (5-6 currently, still play: @Purdue) - 982

Florida (4-6 currently, still play: FSU) - 980

Cal (5-6 currently, still play: @UCLA) - 978

Buffalo (5-6 currently, still play: Ohio) - 977

Nebraska (4-7 currently, still play: Iowa) - 977

Miami (OH) (4-7 currently, still play: @BallSt) - 976

Pitt (4-7 currently, still play: Miami) - 975

Rutgers (4-7 currently, still play: MichSt) - 973

UT (4-7 currently, still play: Vandy) - 972

Explain.

Again, even if every single result breaks in UT's favor, all the bowl slots get filled this coming weekend with four 5-7 teams getting invites. UT is not one of the four.

Somebody else has said that if a bunch of teams decline, then we go bowling.

Gumps leading gumps down a dead end road.

Just to piggy-back on JP's math (and make a couple of corrections):



There are actually 39 bowls this year, since the Poinsettia Bowl shut down. So only 78 teams will go bowling.



Only 8 spots remain open.

There are 4 games between 5-win teams this weekend (UCLA vs Cal, Colorado vs Utah, Indiana vs Purdue, Old Dominion vs MTSU). The winner of each of these games will become bowl-eligible.

So, in reality, only 4 spots remain open.

Of the teams sitting currently sitting at 5 wins, the following are ranked above Tennessee in APR:

Duke, Minnesota, Georgia Tech, MTSU*, Utah*, Indiana*, Cal*, Buffalo.

MTSU, Utah, Indiana, and Cal are on both lists. So, even if we assume that everything works out in UT's favor, and the teams that are behind UT in APR (UCLA, Colorado, Purdue, and ODU) all lose, it won't matter, because Duke, Minnesota, GT, and Buffalo would be guaranteed to get the 4 remaining bowl invites before UT.



Yup.

Most of us get this without needing an Alabama fan to examine it from every corner.

I realize you’re a regular on this UT board, but it comes off as very obnoxious for you to be posting repeatedly in this type of thread. Do you find enjoyment in hammering home the fact that UT will miss this postseason?

Would it be fair to say that Alabama lacks a competent message board of its own?
There is a difference between checking in on a rival board and hanging out there all the time.

I enjoy debate. I don't like talking in an echo chamber. You'll note that I'm almost never rude to anyone unless they are rude to me.

If my contributions bother you, then that's unfortunate. I won't take it personally if you put me on ignore. Given that you are responding to me repeatedly, I'm guessing you probably won't.

Your contributions are normally fine on this board.

But, consider what your appearance looks like in this thread. Honestly, why does the content of this thread matter to you? And, why is it so important for you to be the genius who convinces every last Vol that his football team stinks? Because that’s exactly what you’re doing what right now.

I’m not going to put you on Ignore because I usually value your input. I’m just pointing out that you’ve gone overboard in this thread.
This is probably the only fan board in existence that would not have openly revolted on you.

I'm convincing you that UT stinks? Interesting...

Also interesting, as I've done less editorializing than usual.

I’m not going to bow and kiss Saban’s ring while you kick me in the teeth.
You’re acting like a total clown in here.

You strike me as the kind of guy that spends most of his paycheck on scratch-offs.

By most do you mean more than zero?

I usually don't do scratch offs. They do make fun gifts around the holidays. Get several different kinds and sneak in a trick one from the Dollar Tree. Just don't let it go too far.

Once powerball is over $2 or 3 hundred million, I will get a ticket. I figure they only draw one set of numbers so why get more than 1.

Given some of the posts in this thread, I beg to differ.

Why? He's saying the exact same thing that myself and a few other VOL fans have said in this thread. Are you just mad because he's a Bama fan saying it? Get over it.
