i find this interesting....

for a few days, i was bitter about us going to atlanta for our bowl instead of outback or cotton. those just seemed to have higher implications for us. some things i just noticed though is that my assumption was entirely false.


espn reported that our bowl game is ranked number 9 on list of most important bowl games, higher than both cotton and outback, not higher than capital one but check this out....

ole miss gets #19 okst.
auburn gets an unranked northwestern. my god, that could have been our destiny, and what a bore.
lsu gets #13 penn state.

we get the #11 team in the country! i feel like we probably made out with the best possible bowl matchup. there would be a great reward for beating a very good vtech team, we just have to beat them. if we do, i can see us being ranked for sure.

so yeah, atl on new years eve > any other sec bowl (excluding uf and bama bowls)

Yah i see us squeeking in @ 25.

With a win.


Against the 11th and/or 12th ranked VT Hokies. It will have to be earned.......However I believe as you do. Squeaking in at #25 or so.

Especially if we not only win, but STOMP them... not out of the question if Crompdaddy's on fire. How great would that be?

IF we play like we did against BAMA, Florida and GA we'll do fine. We've shown that were capable of outplaying the big guys.

We are playing the highest ranked non-BCS (bowl) team in the country...in primetime on New Year's Eve...I love it

 

[Flipdaddy]

Im pumped!!!!!!!!!!

Our special teams better get it together as Beamer Ball is all about blocking kicks and we seem to obilge at times. If Crompton can bring it, we've got a great shot at knocking them off.

Go Vols...
