Polls keeping us out of the playoffs

[The Future]

Say what you want, but that was a great road win! And Vols don't move an inch in the polls? Miss St. was undefeated, and had a nice win against Arizona St.. Miss. St. ain't no easy win. Looks like we will have to defeat the darling Alabama and Oklahoma teams to get in to the hunt, or the polls won't move us up. Plus no stupid losses. Go GBO!!!!!

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Just win. Everything else will take care of itself

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Keep winning and they’ll have no choice but to move us up.

 

[madbamahater]

What is the reason the Vols have not moved at all in several weeks? I don't know that I've ever seen this?

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

The polls have no impact on the playoffs. If we end up with a playoff worthy resume, we will move up in time

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Too early for all that. Need to see where were at after bama. I think we can only lose one more to have a rational chance of getting in. Got a lot to work on this week !

Because we haven't really played anyone other than Georgia.

Another reason to hate Bama, but if Georgia would have won this week, we likely would have moved up a couple of spots. Our loss to Georgia doesn't look as good now.

Take care of business in Tuscaloosa and we'll jump 7+ spots, perhaps even past UGA

The week 5 poll is keeping us out of the CFP?

Don’t ever change, Vol Nation.

They also robbed Aguilar of the heisman and Brazell of the biletnikoff last Tuesday

 

[MAD]

We should move to a stronger conference.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

The playoff predictions I have saw have us in at around 10-11

 

[Voltopia]

Now see? This is why we needed a show like VolCalls, so people could call in there and say ... whatever ... that was just now.

 

[fossilfiction]

I don't care. Beat Arkansas. Real talk. Just smash them. We owe them for a few games of misery.

These polls have zero bearing on the CFP rankings.

We play Alabama and Oklahoma. Win those games and the rest we are in. Until the defense starts stopping teams we are ranked fairly at the moment. Get our horses back and we will see. D-Line and LBs need to start playing better. MSU ran over us like we were moving at half speed.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

11-1 Tennessee makes the playoff easy. SEC title game or not. Losing more games would be our only issue.

 

[HambyVol]

Well said. Got to get better at stopping the run.

Of course we need to win at least one of those games. If we don’t, we don’t deserve to be in.

 

[Elhanan]

If you want in the playoff you can’t be on the bubble.

Don’t leave room to get screwed.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Talking about the playoffs in week 5?

 

[zeppelin128]

Bama, Florida, Oklahoma, and even little ol Vandy are not going to be pushovers. We've got a lot of work left.

Let's start with Pig. The rest will work itself out (beat Bama and we will be in the top ten, for example).

 

[VOLINVONORE]

SEC Refs are doing a good job of limiting our point production.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

No. Win all but one of the rest and we’re in

Lol Notre Dame staying in it.

The other games havent really given them any reason to move us. The only one that deserved to drop behind us was florida state and they did. But alabama beating georgia kinda made it a stalemate. LSU wasnt gonna fall behind us. Penn state lost in overtime to a highly ranked team so they shouldnt. Georgia beat us so there is no reason they should be behind us. Everyone else stayed where they were basically. One could argue that vandy should be ranked ahead of us right now tbh
