CFB Title Odds

[BenGrimm]

I know there have been some posts about odds of making the playoffs floating around, but I haven't seen a post about championship odds. It doesn't meany anything, but I thought it was interesting to consider. During the lean years, most of us just wanted to be in the hunt in November and we are.

How bad is it that Vandy has higher odds than us?

The only reason we have 1 more loss than them is because we played UGA and they did not.

Who imagined the day when Vandy would have better odds than TN?

Jordan Matthews?

Jordan Matthews?

I’m gonna ask him for the Power Ball winning numbers

He and Holden Staes look like they won the "portal away from UT" lottery right now.

No respect for Georgia Tech. They undefeated

Somebody is going to end up being the smartest kid on the short bus...that doesn't make them Valedictorian. If they want serious consideration, they need to do something about that ooc schedule.

That kinda sums it up. The fact that we gave a way the W vs UGA and our defense is simply abysmal leaves little hope of anything but a crappy bowl that doesn’t mean anything. We aren’t making the playoffs.

Well, quit watching.

I know reality is tough.

Seriously man, why watch. It’s not going to get better for you. We won. We have a chance to win 10. If you can’t take some enjoyment out of that then why do you watch? To yell at the tv? To post trash on the board? I don’t get it.

I agree, but I don’t think it’s that big a deal. You guys get Vandy in Knoxville. Hopefully they win out until then and you guys have an opportunity to make a statement!

It’s not a bad thing IMO, but it’s certainly odd to think of Vandy as a good team. Many here don’t agree, but I think the Vols control their own destiny. Win out and you’re in.

If there hadn’t been a mess up at the end of the GA game you guys would be sitting pretty, but shite happens. It was a very good and close game that could have went either way but for a number of plays. Bad luck on the missed winning FG, but that’s just CFB. You don’t always win when you deserve to. I thought both TN and GA played a very good game, we just had the luck in the end!

ACC is weak. They’ve played one ranked team (at the time they played), Clemson.

We will find out more when they play GA

They might not make it past Pitt undefeated.

GT at 75/1 seems really low for a team that is undefeated and has a playmaker like Haynes King. Of course the caveat is that they probably aren't even a .500 team without King, but he's been pretty unstoppable thus far. God help us if we actually make the playoffs and have to face them at any point. He'll put up 500 yards of offense on this defense.

Maybe they would but we would put up about 600 on their defense. Joey has accounted for 300 more total yards than Haynes King against better competition.
