Playoff percentages

[Volmac2022]

I'm surprised ESPN is even talking about us for a chance at the playoffs.

By the numbers: How the college football Week 2 results could impact the College Football Playoff


Tennessee (54% chance to win) at
Pittsburgh
Tennessee playoff leverage: 4%
FPI is buying the Volunteers in the sense that they are on this list at all. If Tennessee was somehow to reach the playoff (we're stretching in a light week here, OK?), the path of least resistance would probably be a single loss, to Georgia, and finishing 11-1. But actually, in any scenario, there's no way Tennessee can afford a loss to Pittsburgh with both the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide on its schedule later this year

I like how they say:
Both the bulldogs and the tide on their schedule "this year"

Like it isn't every year...

Not happening. If we make it to the playoffs, we have beaten every team on the way to the SECCG.

54% chance to win, so basically ESPN is saying it is 50/50. Way to go out on a limb on that one ESPN.
