So we are to ignore the 2016 season for UT, but assume that because Notre Dame was 4-8 in 2016, that they will be 4-8 or worse in 2017? :unsure:

That is not a good team and that was not a well played game. Notre Dame and Georgia combined for 20 penalties for 189 yards, 4 turnovers and 17 punts.

Vol Nation is on fire tonight. I prefer every team we play to be undefeated, until they play the Big Orange. Except for the Gators. I live with these lousy lizards.

Some people get it.

I want every team we play to win every game that they play other than us because that's in our best interest. This isn't long division folks.

I never said ND was good. Just asking if you think it's valid to ignore 2016 for UT, but weigh ND's 2016 record against them for this season?

I'm not ignoring 2016 for Tennessee. It's been a long time since Tennessee struggled to score vs Georgia - last year included. I expect it to be another 38-31 type of game.

Don't know what to make of last night's UGa-ND game. That whole, "they were 4-8 (4 and 8!) last year, can they really be an upper tier quality team now?" question keeps nagging at the back of your head, you know?

But they stood toe to toe with UGa for four quarters, and the parts of the game I saw looked solid. Looked like two good teams going at it in a largely defensive battle.

But eyes can deceive, you know?

So were both teams worse than they looked? Or maybe, even better? Is UGa going to be a handful for us in Neyland? Or is this game an indicator that there's not as much steel behind the facade as we may have thought?

It's puzzling. And may not get cleared up until we play them, since all they have in between are Samford and Miss St.

Georgia defense is good. They will be favored by 7 points when we play. Which means, since the game is in Neyland, they are two touchdowns superior.

Agreed. And I'll add on their offense played a good ND defense. UGA offense looks stronger than last year and like a more cohesive group. Going to be hard for our D to get off the field against these guys.

For some reason, it doesn't ever matter how good Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina are. They almost always play tight games when they face each other.

Which is why I'm convinced they've just faced two horrible offenses. UGA and good defense? Lmao

I distinctly remember yesterday switching from the SEC network when our game ended, to NBC where Georgia defense was on the field. The speed and disruption their front seven was showing against the Irish was light years ahead of what Tennessee was doing against the sycamore. Roquan Smith is a freak, same with Bellamy and Thompson. Those 3 are better than anyone on our front seven right now. At least playing better. I have my concerns for our match-up on the 30th. The one thing that the Irish don't have is 102,455. Fromm looked average at best and hopefully while he's in that tunnel of Neyland stadium, and that T opens up, he realizes, this ain't no South Bend!!

How is it in Tennessees best interest? Alabama ruling college football the ladt decade has done nothing for Tennessee. If Tennessee wins games it will pay off. They will make SECCG and if you won there you are most likely in the CFP, everyone elses record is irrelevant

ND is not good. They should never had been in the top 25. Was only for TV ratings. Not concerned with Georgia

Now we can definitely agree on something. The more other SEC teams suck the better we will be. Especially UGA, UF, SC and Bama.

Then outside the SEC we need all the Carolina schools and Virginia schools to be down as well.

Then we're set up well in the east and with our recruiting base.

I'm worried about their defense and running backs. Those running backs are all beasts and on top of that their defense looked like a very aggressive, attacking defense. Exactly the opposite of what we've been. Hopefully that changes this week.

If that's the case and we have ANY slip ups, we're on the outside looking in.....

It's not a comment on how good he may eventually become but Fromm doesn't look SEC ready at this point. If you can contain their running game I'm dubious he's going to save the day for them.

UGA defense is legit. Speed pass rushers and nasty. Must be nice.

Yep...after two weeks I wold say they are the best looking team in the East...I don't see us running very well against that front...

But that's not my concern right now...let's focus on the Gators...

Here's how.

We've had three years of the CFP to date. In two of those years, the B12 was left out of the party. One year, the PAC sat out.

It is not a coincidence that the B12 is widely viewed as the weakest conference, in spite of Oklahoma's perennial strength as a contender. And it is not a coincidence that the PAC is generally seen as the next-weakest, despite usually having one team (whether Oregon, Stanford, Washington, or USC) that stands out.

The reason the SEC, ACC and B10's best teams have been all but guaranteed a spot in the playoffs each year is because those are widely viewed as the stronger Power 5 conferences.

...

Sure, you have to get through your regular season and (usually) conference championship game with no more than 1 loss for a shot at the playoffs. But that's not enough. Just ask TCU. You also have to have a compelling "body of work" (which largely translates to "hard schedule"). And 80%-90% of each team's Strength of Schedule comes from their conference play.

So you want to win a lot of games, and be in the toughest, best conference. That allows you to avoid being left at the curb.

You only get to say "most likely" in your post because the SEC has always (in the CFP era) been one of the stronger conferences. But there's no guarantee that will always be true.

That's why the SEC winning our out-of conference games matters.

I never go for other sec teams, neverhabe, never will. I say that knowning that sec football will always be pretty good and if you win it, you are in.
In those weaker conference the team left out is usually a team not viewed as a perennial powerhouse. If USC, Texas, Oklahoma etc go undefeated, they are in regardless of their conference. Tennessee is the same. One of the top winningest programs in football history. If they are undeafeated they are in, regardless.
