The article says we would currently be knocked out of the playoffs because we are in the committee's #12 spot which goes to the Group 5 Champion.

That rule is so ridiculous. It's a wasted spot, IMO. There is NO group of 5 team that will EVER win a national title, period. Ridiculous.

Yeah I had a feeling the article wouldn’t be so loving but frankly speaking it’s good branding and we don’t have a signature win yet. Part of that is because the QB at Syracuse got injured. Meanwhile other teams do. It will all sort itself out. We cannot lose more than 2 with this schedule, and losing to Bama will certainly not help. That will put them and Georgia in front of us, along with A&M, Ole Miss and every other one loss team in the SEC.

Long way to go, folks. Goal is 10-2.

Most teams will lose a head scratcher down the stretch. Late-season conference games, especially those on the road, can produce some incredible surprises.

Buckle up!

Not sure what the likeliness of us getting in at 10-2 is if that second loss is to Bama. Unless we beat OK and they only lose 2 games. Personally, I am rooting for 11-1. Should leave no doubt.

Wild that a team that plays 1 group of 4 team and loses that game not only gets in the playoff but gets a bye. And in theory a team can get in and not even play a power 4 school all season. Yet we compare them to a team that plays 8 to 10 power 4 schools.

Also, ironic how we compare the schedules and accomplishments of the last 3 schools that are out and never talk about their schedules compared to the G6 team getting in.
Maybe the best G6 should have to play the first team left out for the right to be in. That gives them a shot but they have to earn it.

You know this is Tennessee right? We probably beat Bama and Oklahoma and will be riding high; but then lose to a hapless Gator team in the swamp 🙄.
Bonus Vol luck if they beat us with an interim coach in his first game with a backup QB who has a career game against us.
Sorry, the BVS is still flaring up occasionally 😂

We'd probably still be in the playoffs with that scenario.

I never follow polls of any kind during the season. The only poll that matters is the last poll. And in this case, the only thing that matters is what "The Committee" thinks. Just win your games and none of this matters.
