Ole Miss' offense isn't as good as ours. So Ole Miss hung 34 on OU in Norman.

Tennessee should atleast get to 40 points against them in Neyland.

So once again, how do we know that they will OU will put up 40?

If UT wins out hard to think UT won't make the playoffs. Assuming Bama UGA and Vandy all win out except UT knocking off a top 7 Vandy team. UGA beating Georgia Tech would help UT as well. UT losses would be to 2 top 5 teams, one in OT and at Bama. But there is A LOT of football yet to be played. Still have to beat Oklahoma and at the Swamp.

A&M and Ole Miss are also ahead of us. By a lot.

Because every awful team puts up at least 30? The defense gets worse each game? There’s plenty of options to choose from. The best predictor of future events is past ones.

If Georgia beats Tech and we finish 10-2. The committee will have to weigh an 11-1 Georgia Tech, 10-2 Tennessee, 10-2 Notre Dame.

I'm not sure how an 11-1 Georgia Tech is vastly ahead of a 10-2 Tennessee off a win vs a hopefully 10-1 Vandy top 10 team. Notre Dame I think shouldn't even be involved.

I think you might be underestimating Vandy also. As it stands right now I think Vandy will win in Knoxville. They are really good at limiting other teams with a really good defense and a ball control offense.

Our advantage in Nashville last year was defense and defensive pressure. This year our defense is our biggest liability.

Which is why I hope Vandy is 10-1 when we play them. Notre Dame is going to simply move up the polls by all the SEC teams beating each other up.

But what happens when a lower ranked bubble SEC team beats a Top 10 SEC team. That lower ranked team is going to have to slingshot up. And a win of that magnitude while Notre Dame is playing a likely 7 loss Stanford, not sure how Notre Dame can simply slide up.

There will of course be the media narrative on this, but best thing Tennessee can hope for is Vandy being 10-1 when we play. A win there and we likely don't have to worry about anything.
