Right now we would be in Top 10 ap and CFP if we were in the Big 10

[volfan2024]

Big 10's favoritism with voters (less jealousy of SEC) and their weak conference this year, probably only have one loss if that.

Yeah, those squeaker wins over AR and MsSt. look impressive.

If's and big butts doth fantasies make.

No, we would be in top 10 if we didn't give Oklahoma and Georgia the game!

I was about to say the same thing and you could include AL too.

On the assumption that maybe we'd have only 2 losses, maybe?

3-loss Iowa is unranked in both polls though they are 2 spots ahead of us in the playoff rankings. They're the only 3 loss Big Ten team in the Top 25. In fact, the only other 3 loss team in the Top 25 from any conference is us.

I think we're getting a fair shake so far this year. Not sure we have strong enough opponents to close out the year to move up, but who knows what happens ahead of us.

Well, if we hadn't lost those two and Bama, we'd be undefeated.

But we're not in the B10.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

We aren’t in the Big 10, we are a middle of the pack SEC team. Thread is useless.

 

[livefaith]

This sounds like the DEI version of fandom.

The only “if” I think about at this point is we’d still be in line for the playoffs “if” we had a kicker that can hit a 40 yarder at home against UGA

Iowa at USC this weekend. One of those "Big 10" teams gonna lose.

If Tennessee moved to the Big Ten, I would turn in my card, burn my gear, and just quit paying attention.

Here's how things go here B1G land...no one, I mean no one around here can tell you who won the NC last season...IU fans are more excited about a new Basketball coach and a team that scored 100 points against the Indiana School of the Blind than they are the football program...only thing that will keep Cignetti in Bloomington is his own loyalty ethic and Mark Cuban.

The top 2 or 3 football teams every year end up with stellar records because beyond the top 4 or 5, there aren't any other competitive programs.

I would rather have the SEC where winning actually means something.
