I'm somewhat surprised none of you guys picked up on this.
We were all butthurt about the a$$ whoopin' Ohio State put on our beloved Vols to kick off their run through the playoffs to the title. Their only really significant opposition came from Texas.
OSU 42 Tennessee 17 - wasn't that close. Losing Sampson made UT one-dimensional
OSU 41 Oregon 21 - wasn't that close
OSU 28 Texas 14 - see draft #s
OSU 34 Notre Dame 23 - wasn't that close
NFL Draft OSU led all schools with 14 players drafted, Texas had 12, Oregon 10, Notre Dame, 6. Notice a pattern?
Tennessee was anchor man of the schools OSU played in the playoffs with only 4.
Of the SEC schools Tennessee played:
Georgia came in second over all with 13 picks & beat the Vols 31-17. Won SEC, lost in the playoffs to ND due to Beck getting injured in the SECG which made them essentially one-dimensional. An NC game between the Dawgs with Carson Beck and OSU would have been one for the ages with UGA slightly more likely to win due to NC experience.
2024 SEC season for the Vols:
Tennessee beat Alabama and Florida: each with 7 picks
Lost to Arkansas with 2 picks: blind hog theorem
Beat Kentucky (2), Oklahoma (2), Vandy (1), MSU (0) the pattern holds.
O/A the SEC had 79 picks, the BiG 71. There was a steep drop between OSU and Oregon and the rest of the conference.
As Ol' Nappy said, "God is on the side of the big battalions."
