This is how we make the CFP

Just win and take care of what we can control and the rest will fall into place.

correct. I feel we will get in if we win out. Thing is though, we should have beaten uga and could have beaten or had much closer game vs bama, but our best win isn’t so spectacular. OK, UF and oddly this year Vandy are all better wins than any we’ve had so far, but we will find out starting this weekend if we are up for it. I am super confident in our offense and we don’t have to be last years version on D to win out…but think we need to be better

So you think UT can land a 5-8 spot?

Yes. There’s a lot of football left to play. But we were the eighth highest rated team at 10-2 in last year‘s playoff. This year they’re seeded according to actual rankings, instead of giving conference champions the auto bye. So that would get us a home game this year.

I wish I had your optimism here. Given the fact that our defense couldn't stop a nosebleed, I'm worried that one out of OU, UF, or Vandy is going to slow our offense down. If they do, then our CFP chances are shot.

I'm on record with my opinion on Banks. It concerns me that both Coach Heupel and Coach Garner have now publicly recognized the elephant in the room here. UT has a CFP-level offense. And a Bottom 10 defense.

Tough tests ahead. Something has to give.

Different teams. Ole Miss won’t lose to a bad Fl team.

FL wasn’t a good team last year either….. same team, nearly same situation, except now they know their coach is gone instead of just the hot seat. I’d argue that ole miss is less talented this year than last.

I just think there are two different circumstances this season.

It’s an away game for FL and Ole Miss will be looking for revenge. I think Kiffin’s team will be more focused down the stretch knowing they choked away a layoff berth last yr. Just my $.02.

IMO, we won’t make playoffs unless the committee selects five SEC teams. Notre Dame isn’t going to lose so I’m sticking my post from while back - SEC gets four- unless Vandy goes 11-1.

GA, Bama, aTm, Ole Miss

I agree with most of that. OM shoukd win that game, but there’s always a chance. Plenty of other teams that could still be upset as well. I think if we win out, and win out convincingly, there’s a really good chance someone else drops one.

If we’re sluggish and find a way to play close in Gainesville, you’re probably correct. I like our chances to win convincingly at home against OU and Vandy.
