Sugar Bowl Scenarios

I honestly think it would fit for us to go to the Sugar Bowl. We beat UF, they still win the east. UF wins the east, we still get a better bowl...kinda makes sense.

Okie, Michigan, Ohio State all would be bad draws for us...even healthy.

That assertion will get me flamed, but it's true. Butch Jones has no business on the same field with any of those coaches.

1st things 1st....let the big orange beat vandy and hopefully find some defense...2nd - let the SEC teams settle up and find out where everything stands... 3rd - your assertion would not go over well in the UT locker room. By what I've gathered if UT is the SEC team selected then we get OU - OSU winner. You take yo nega azz into the locker room and tell Dobbs and co. we too banged-up to play these big boys. Anyway it goes with our talented sophmores and freshman and some good recruits we're after playing on the big stage can only be a positive. I can't think of a better way to reward such an exciting group of players and just maybe we haven't seen Josh play his best game yet.......GBO...WTFA !!!!:rock::machgun::gun::bash::pepper::good!::dance2:

UT is a lock for the sugar bowl. Fla will lose big to fsu and get blown out by alabama--they may not even be ranked after those losses. With a huge win over vandy, the sugar bowl will have to pick UT!!

Only Sugar Bowl Scenario I see is us watching another SEC school play in it. Doesn't mean I wouldn't love to back into it, but it is not likely.

It's would make up for 2004 when we were ranked 6 and got snubbed from a bcs game and sent to chick fil let bowl to play Clemson. No one wanted to go there except Clemson.

I don't see why people think it's necessary for florida to lose to FSU for our Sugar Bowl chances. It's as simple as this if bama wins out and we beat vandy we are in. A 3 loss tennessee team will be higher ranked than a 3 loss florida team that lost to tennessee.

I bet that at the beginning of the season if you had asked most fans if they would be happy with a trip to the Sugar bowl, they would say yes.

Especially, if you had told them we would be without JRM and Sutton during the five SEC Game stretch (UF, UGA,TX AM, BAMA, USC) and lose 3 DT for the year, and be without a number of other players for many games. Given the injuries, Sugar Bowl is a great year.

It's safer. So far, the playoffs committee has only dropped the SEC Championship game loser 1 spot or less (UF dropped from 18 to 19; Missouri stayed at 16 even though the game against Alabama was a blowout) and UF would move up more even further for beating a ranked FSU.

So there's a fair chance that losing to Alabama alone isn't enough to bring them back down behind UT if they jump up from a win against a ranked FSU.

I would LOVE to play Oklahoma or Michigan in the Sugar Bowl.

As others have said, I don't know if I see it happening. We'll just be doing a lot of waiting and seeing with so many other teams. Even still, I could see Tennessee getting screwed by the rankings or the Sugar Bowl selection itself, even if we do everything right and the other teams lose.

Oklahoma would win by 30. I'd rather play Michigan

There's not a setup that will allow that this year, barring a slew of Big 10 upsets this weekend.

...and that might not even be enough...Michigan is probably Orange Bowl at worst this year.

Everything that UT needed to have elsewhere happened, it just turns out that UT's just as bad as apparently everyone in this conference that's not named Alabama.
