We still have a small chance to sneak into playoffs

Michigan getting blown out by Ohio State for their only loss would be worse than us with two losses and getting curb stomped by South Carolina? You'll have to explain that one to me.

Great news is, according to the link, we’re projected for the Cotton Bowl vs …..Tulane. How disappointing.
Bowl projections ahead of rivalry week: USC enters College Football Playoff, Tennessee to Cotton Bowl

Talking about the matchup. No offense to Tulane, but If we barely make it out of Nashville on Saturday with a win and actually go, it’s a rather uninspiring matchup, imo. A loss would make it that much worse.

12 team playoff starts in 2024, so teams like TN will have a chance every year. As long as we win 9 or 10 games every year, we can make it.

Not going to happen. Odds are astronomical, plus they will look at the fact we don't have Hooker. For this to happen, you would be looking for the committee to put in 3 SEC teams. It's the only way, because Bama, a 2 OT road loss to two top 10 teams is getting in before us even if we barely beat them at home, again in OT with a different QB. So you would be looking at OSU most likely, Georgia, Bama and who? For this scenario to be even a conversation, you would have to see the Big 12, Pac 10 and ACC champs drop to 3 losses, because a 2 loss conference champ is also most likely getting the nod.
That would require Oregon, Washington and USC to lose their next game and USC to lose the title game. That would also have to be TCU losing the next two games, making them a 2 loss non champ. Leaving a 3 loss KSU Big 12 champ out and a whoever PAC champ out. They still might get the nod. Then you come over to the ACC. Clemson would have to be stomped by SC at home. That would be big for the Vols. But then UNC would have to lose to NC State and then beat Clemson in the ACC championship. That means the ACC champ has 3 losses. But then you have a one loss Michigan. If they got destroyed by OSU, possibly? But they would have to be completely dismantled and OSU doesn't seem up for it. Still, I see them putting a 1 loss Michigan in before a 2 loss TN who has as a bad loss. But for that to be a conversation the argument would be a 3 loss conference champ, a 1 loss Michigan runner up in their division with one decent win against Penn St., Or a one + one BAD (2) loss sec east division runner up. So unless, Penn St. also loses to Michigan St this week, and Ohio St. loses to Iowa in the Big 10 Championship, I see them sliding in 1 loss Michigan team in.
If I'm Heupel, I'm thinking Vandy. We need to destroy them anyways, but we thought we would do that to SC.
