5-7 + Strength of Schedule.

Could this argue a bowl for us if this is how we end up?

 

[Cornvol]

Don’t think we should argue any bowl potential.

5-7 teams are picked for bowls based upon academics not SOS.

Absolutely not IMO. If you can’t manage to win 6 qualifying games, no matter schedule, you don’t have a leg to stand on as far as deserving a bowl game.

 

[VolArmy74]

That is determined on academic performance, not strength of schedule.

 

[Fatman Photos]

No team should go to a bowl with a losing record period.

UT vs Florida State...rematch 20 years later with two 5-7 teams facing off. Oh how far we both have fallen.

Going 5-7 and making a bowl game is like having your car stereo stolen and then, before the thief leaves, he installs an 8-track player.

I miss my 8 track! Probably worth some coin on the antique circuit.

I had the Smokey and the Bandit soundtrack on 8-track. Epic.

The salient point is, what kind of TV audience could our offense attract, and what advertisers would want to purchase air time for --- WAIT A SECOND!

Visualize the screen as our offense takes the field. A picture-in-picture advertisement comes up for Scotts Turf Builder.

Narrator: Watching the Vols offense, maybe you're wondering, "How fast is my grass growing?"

(I know ... it was a cheap shot)

The pictures were bigger which was awesome for that nice backside photo on 38 Special Wild Eyed Southern Boys!

 

[wmcovol]

I'll dominate everything with a T on it to goodwill and not renew my tickets if a 5-7 Tennessee goes to a bowl.

 

[ruger1234]

Forget about a bowl game, this team just needs to finish the season and hit the weight room with a sense of urgency.

well whats the point of the thread -- duh right ?

 

[jeff1vol]

We'd be stupid not to accept a bid at 5-7. Those extra practices are ALL that matters.

 

[Offset Eye]

Recruiting capable players is all that matters. Extra practices with incapable players won't quite cut it.

Who’s the 5th win? We don’t have any more SunBelt conference teams on the schedule that our defense can keep under 10 pts ((which our offense struggles to score that much — even against lower level conference teams. Remember our defense and Special Teams put up as many points as our first team offense in most games)
