10-2 bama who Tennessee beat is a playoff lock

Tennessee's odds of getting in at 10-2 are not great. Sorry. They aren't. They've never been great. People keeping saying 10-2 Tennessee is in, but I don't think they realize how bad that Arkansas loss - plus getting wins against the heavyweights like NC State and Kent State - weighs on the minds of the committee.

At 10-2, there's a pool of four that are ahead of Tennessee. Texas OR Texas A&M, Alabama, UGA, and Ole Miss. The two in the SECCG are definitely locks. If - IF - the SEC gets a fifth slot, which isn't a given, Tennessee may have a chance. But that's what you have to hope for. A chance. Not a guarantee.

Who cares at this point? We had a perfect shot at guaranteeing us a shot in the playoff and we **** the bed.

Because it’s hard to go 10-2 in the sec? Hence why there’s no one else who is really going to do it? Stop being a bitch. And fight for your team. You guys are hilarious.

What are we supposed to do? Self immolate? The committee is going to screw us and there’s nothing to be done about it. Shouldn’t have lost to Arkansas, we had to have known after 2022 if there was any chance to leave us out in favor of Alabama they would

We need TX to run the table and beat whoever they play in the SEC for us to have a chance

Well sounds like we should be loud as hell about how we should be in and hope our team impresses on the field the next few weeks

There's a chance they let them since it's been a close battle. But don't be surprised if they leave them out. It's the Tenn way.

Still a good season. Must beat Vandy. If they could have put up a fight in second half in Athens - case could be made for playoff spot but just got man handled in the second half. Well Dawgs must travel to Knoxville next season so that will be a different game. Playoffs? Not likely.

You guys are not real vol fans. You realize saying all this negative stuff will keep us out? Make a case we deserve to be in

So Alabama losing to vandy and us is better than us losing to Arkansas and Georgia?

Don’t lay the stinker in Arkansas and this game would have little effect on us getting into the playoff. I knew that loss would come back to bite us. Very hard to beat Florida, Bama and Georgia in the same year.

Wrong thing to compare. The rest of Alabama's schedule is what does it for them. They've beaten Georgia the same UGA we lost to, and also beat South Carolina, Missouri, and LSU. All temas in the upper half of the SEC.

Tennessee has one good win - Alabama at home - and one decent win in the Florida game. Four of Tennessee's conference wins are against four of the five worst teams in the SEC this year.
