Anyone else think we’ll be against the refs this week as Sankey might make a call to get as many sec schools in the playoffs as possible?

Unless Bama or Oklahoma slips up and loses, there will already be 5 teams most likely in the playoff. There’s 0 chance the SEC gets 6 teams. I wonder if the flip happens…a neutral or favorable whistle to ensure as little chaos as possible. You already know Bama will get protected at Auburn. I don’t think Oklahoma will need protected as LSU looks atrocious and it’s at Oklahoma.

Agree, the SEC got what it wanted out of Peabody which was a "good story" all year. They've outlived their usefulness because they'd be a terrible draw for any of the "bigger" bowls. The best case scenario for the SEC and bowls is that UT and Texas be the top two non-playoff teams.

But our outright rage & hatred towards all-things Peabody should always be sufficient fuel to overcome anything Sankey and his butt-puppet cronies can throw at us. Saturday I hope to see renewed confidence coupled with a heapin' helpin' of pissed-off from the guys as they anchor Peabody's season and Napoleon's Heistman bid right down into a shallow, unmarked grave!

Vols 44
Peabody 24

In the style of Leonard's Losers:

Clark Lea leads his flotilla of naval officer wanna-bees into Neyland Stadium Saturday afternoon against Josh Heupel's sharp-shooting Volunteers, looking to spray water cannons on the Volunteers' stock of gun powder.

The Volunteers have lost close games to a couple of the SEC's usual big-boy suspects in what was supposed be a rebuilding experience after last year's playoff appearance and then got caught out in the open by a bunch of line-jumping Sooners in Conestoga wagons for a disappointing loss at home that put a major damper on a possible CFP bid.

The Commodores, behind midshipman Diego Pavia have been sinking SEC foes all over the place. While they were swamped by a herd of Crimson elephants and were unable to put the Longhorns on a bar-b-que grill in the last minute, they still harbor hopes of sailing into CFP waters if they can overcome the orange-clad Tennesseans by the river.

Tennessee will mount an ambush and sink a few Vanderbilt ships early on. Then the aforementioned cannons of the Nashville Black and Gold trimmed flotilla will dampen the Volunteer ammunition and sink a few Vol defenders as well. But in the end, it won't be enough...

Grover's Loser, in a close one, Vanderbilt.

Had to do a double take at OP’s post! Though I was just reading it wrong!

Not sure what score I’m going to predict but one thing I’m very sure about.

Tenn will be even more ready Saturday thanks to the mouth Pavia. We will not lose to Andy anywhere in the state of Tenn and especially Neyland!

Gonna be 48-45 or something insane. We're going to have a sizeable 1Q and halftime lead (as we do, and as Vandy tends to give up) then they're going to close in the second half (as well let teams do, and as Vandy tends to do).

Arion Carter or Perlotte should never take their eyes off Pavia.

Leonard's Losers! Loved listening to that on radio on our way to the games!

Lol. There is method to the madness. I picked the same score in the swamp on Saturday and we rolled. Hoping for the same result this Saturday.

Yep. Banks won't do it though. Doubt the thought will cross his mind.

Count me out on the QB spy strategy vs a QB that has thrown for 365, 377, 484 the last 3 games.

And in those three games he's run for 47 carries, 203 yards, and 3 touchdowns. Question is do we drop 8 all game and hope Josephs, West, and Bailey get the job done but accept he may average 10 yards a carry or do we focus on hitting him early and make sure he doesn't beat us with his legs.

Would be a great day for McCoy to return...

Incredible that in such a down year defensively we are still one of the most disruptive units in the country.

Y'all I swear. If we hadn't lost Gibson and McCoy we'd be a playoff lock.

I’d add if Boo had progressed and been bought in like we all thought to go with those 2 then the secondary would’ve looked SO much better
