For UT, these rankings really don't matter. To get to a BCS game, the path for the Vols is quite obvious.

These rankings are much more likely to mean something to a team like UGA, which could get an at-large bid finishing #2 in the SECE.

I think everybody knows that. Some people still find the BCS rankings interestibg though.

They would matter if UT lost the SEC championship game to LSU. If UT was as high as UGA, they could get the at-large bid.

Yes, if about 20 teams decide to decline bowl bids, Tennessee will have a shot at receiving an at large.

UT has one clear path to a BCS bid. Any deviation from that path and that's that. You aren't getting an at large bid with 4 losses.

Florda , I think, could sneak in as the #2 team in the East if the cards fell their way. But still not likely, IMO.

No, it shows why Arkansas rolled up 541 yards rushing yards against South Carolina (also put up 48 points).

I am really surprised at how bad USC has turned out to be. They started off so hot but their defense is pretty bad, I have to agree. Tebow may not win the Heisman this year as a sophomore, but obviously he would be on the short list heading into next year.

Most likely. I bought Cap One tix last week because I tend to agree.

But so much ball to be played. Florida will obviously have no problem with FAU. But then we have that enigmatic FSU team to play. If we beat them and end up as the #2 team in the East (any SEC loss by UT or UGA puts us at #2), we ought to have a competitive BCS ranking and Tebow and Harvin make for a good tv draw.

Wow Law, thanks for pointing out the obvious about UT, none of use could have possibly came to that conclusion on our own.

However your delusional if you think the Gators have a chance at an at large bid also. Just as empathetically as you stated that UT would not be getting in with 4 losses neither my friend will Florida with 3.

This goes along with "Tim Tebow would be a 1st round draft pick right now" post. There is no way UF gets an at large bid unless they sneak into the SECCG and do something they couldn't do during the regular season

the only way the SEC can get two teams in the BCS bowls are as follows:
1) Tennessee wins out and beats LSU in the SEC Championship, then UT and either LSU or Georgia gets the at large bid (assuming LSU and UGA win their remainder regular season games).
2) LSU beats UT in the SEC c'ship and a 10-2 Georgia get an at-large bid.

note: the worse case senario for the SEC is UT lose to either Vandy or Kentucky and LSU beat UGA in the SEC c'ship game (so expect some favorable calls for us in the last two games!)

Whoa, whoa, take it easy guys. No need to jump on the scenario just because it has a favorable ending for the Gators.

You guys seem to think I'm predicting it, which is far from the truth. But look at the rankings. Florida is #14, with one significant game left in FSU. It is not unreasonable to think that UF would end up in the Top 12 of the BCS rankings when all is said and done, and if Florida is #2 in the East and the winner of the East (either you or UGA) loses in the SECCG to top ranked LSU (how hard is that to imagine?), then its a distinct possibility that Florida gets in at 9-3 and the second seed out of the SEC after the SECCG is played.

We have had this discussion before -- about how the loser of the SECCG almost gets penalized for making it to the game.
