It all comes down to CFP poll which has ranked us higher than AP or coaches poll. Their criteria takes into account the whole season accomplishments (including head to head) and hopefully leaves emotion out. Let’s see what rankings look like on Tuesday.
I thought we were a better team last night with good defense, an effective run game, and a threat of beating the defense deep. It was obvious that their defense could not make the right choices to stop our balanced offense.
We can beat Ball.St. Bowling Green, Tenn-Martin Vandy, Mizzou and maybe Kentucky with Milton as the QB. Do you honestly think we would’ve beat Pitt, Florida, LSU and Bama with Milton instead of Hooker? Honestly now. I hope we got Nico ready to roll next fall or Jackson wins the job cause I know what I’m getting with Joe at this point the coaches can’t change them at this point in his career he is what he is not a very QB. You can’t hide your QB’s weakness in this league either not against the really good teams anyway. This fanbase will not tolerate falling back to 6-6 or 7-5 next season and I’m telling you now that’s what will happen with Joe as the QB.This coming from "Hopeful Vol".
Irony is dead.
But what a selling point. Every team if injury or suspension happens says Next Man Up. If we could do some incredible things with Milton it shows we aren't a 1 trick pony and should help recruiting in case any tactics to recruit against us is we will sink back to average now that Hooker is done. We all know the coaches on recruiting trail will say that. We can prove em wrong that as long as Josh Heupel is here we will be fine.We could absolutely win with Milton. But honestly it wouldn’t feel right without Hooker.

Milton was playing against a team on a 2 game SEC winning streak, UGA beat them 55-0 and BAMA 55-3, so Joe and our defense played very well in my bookBetter team than what? One with hooker playing? Hoping that’s not what you meant because if so that might be one of the worst takes I’ve ever heard. This offense just isn’t very efficient with Milton at the help. Early in the game I think we’d only scored on like 2 of the first 6 drives. And that’s against one worst teams we played all year.
I think it depends on if the defense improves or not. We’ll definitely need them to and to rely on the run game more if we want a shot at 8-4. I wasn’t too impressed with what little I saw with Jackson.We can beat Ball.St. Bowling Green, Tenn-Martin Vandy, Mizzou and maybe Kentucky with Milton as the QB.
