Difficult Road to Atlanta

[i2amavol]

Couldn't care less about the Playoff right now. Immediate goal is getting to Atlanta and if we beat UGA next week we're firmly in the driver's seat.

Maybe people are watching a different time than I am. I think Tennessee can easily beat anyone on their schedule, including Bama.

I also believe that TN can lose to any team on their schedule. Period.

There is no driver's seat for this team until the season is over.

Well, we did the most important thing - we beat the Gators. We also should beat the Dawgs. Assuming we beat the rest of the SEC East, it's still going to be difficult.

We play the 2 best West teams - #1 Bama and ATM might be as high as 8th this week. On the other hand (as far as West teams), UF only has to beat LSU and Arkansas, both of whom lost this week. UGA played Ole Miss yesterday (we saw how that went) and has shaky Auburn at home.

Even if we beat both UF and UGA, the odds of us making it to Atlanta are still slim. Chances are we'll have two losses at the end of the season and so will UGA (after losing to UF) but UF could still be in the driver's seat with one loss. I have a feeling all of us will be watching UF playing Arkansas at Fayetteville on Nov. 5 (if LSU cannot do the job in Gainesville).

Of course, we could not worry about this by just beating at least one of ATM & Bama. Or then again, let's just wax 'em both and control our own destiny!

Spot on!

Undefeated SECC will never get left out of a playoff. That would mean beating Bama twice and a top 10 TAMU.

Climbing to the top of the mountain is often more difficult than the descent.

Louisville plays Clemson next week and Houston in November. If they go u defeated, then they well deserve it. That being said, We will not be left out if undefeated. No way an undefeated SEC champ is not in the playoff.

But in reality, win one game at a time and see what happens. We are too bipolar as a fan base. We go from 'fire everybody' to 'playoffs' back to 'fire everybody' faster than anything!
