7/8 OR 9/10

[Dougie_D]

Vols are clearly IN. I’m just figuring what are the scenarios for us to be in that 7/8 and the 9/10.

7/8 I think we need TX and GA to play the SEC champ and with GA to lose.

9/10 We get bumped down an Oregon loss vs Penn St, a Miami loss vs SMU and if TX AM beats TX.

Thoughts?

We will be higher than the #9 we currently are.

 

[VolFanNC09]

I think we move up 2 spots this week and OSU ends up behind us. Then we will see what happens in the conference championship games.

 

[farmdogvol]

Miami goes down UT should move up another spot.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

Right now Tennessee could be 6 now

 

[JMSqb11]

Down goes the Canes.

We will be should be seeded 6th or 7th on Tuesday. We could have a case for as high as the 6th seed if A&M beats Texas tonight and Georgia wins the SEC.

ACC Champ will still jump ahead of us into the top 4.

 

[UT97Vol]

I think we move up 2 spots this week and OSU ends up behind us. Then we will see what happens in the conference championship games.

Depending on the Texas game I think this is right. We’ll be 6th (7 seed) potentially 5 (6) if Texas loses.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

A&M winning the SEC is the worst case scenario for us. Puts another team in front of us and doesn’t necessarily mean that either Texas or Georgia would drop below us.

 

[just bob]

Depending on the Texas game I think this is right. We’ll be 6th (7 seed) potentially 5 (6) if Texas loses.

If we do move up to 6th, like the Vols should, then the ACC champ and Big 12 champ (Or Boise St) will jump us into the top 4 seeds knocking Tennessee back two spots.

Why would #8 move down if #1 beats #4?

 

[Dougie_D]

Well right now, I’m more concerned about Clemson beating SMU in the champ game.
We get bumped down if there’s “upsets” in the champs games. The 4 best conference champion winners get in.
First round byes champs :
Penn St
Boise St
Georgia
BiG12 winner ( AZ St?)

Potential 5-7:
Oregon
Notre Dame
Texas

The 8 spot :
Tennessee ?
SMU ?
Indiana ?
Clemson ? As a 3 loss champ?

You’re forgetting Notre Dame. There’s really only 6 at large when Notre dame is clearly in

 

[LittleVol]

ACC Champ will still jump ahead of us into the top 4.

Not necessarily.
It’s the “highest ranked “ conference champion.

So if Clemson wins against SMU. They’re in the playoffs but they won’t jump Tennessee because they just lost to South Carolina and have 3 losses.

Right now it’s to

Clemson winning the ACC championship game would have no effect on us. We are already ahead of SMU. If SMU wins, the ACC could be back to one bid. If Clemson wins, they either get the #4 seed or wherever they end up ranked below that if ASU wins the Big 12 and is ranked higher, which would be likely. SMU would either be out or the 12 seed.

Correct. If Clemson wins the ACC, the B12 champ will jump into the top four.

I think we land at #6 in the rankings and the #8 seed Tuesday. I believe it’ll look like this:
1. Oregon
2. Texas
3. Penn St
4. Notre Dame
5. Georgia
6. Tennessee
7. Ohio St
8. SMU
9. Indiana
10. Boise St
11. Miami
12. Alabama or South Carolina
Seeding
1. Oregon
2. Texas
3. SMU
4. Boise St
5. Penn St
6. Notre Dame
7. Georgia
8. Tennessee
9. Ohio St
10. Indiana
11. Miami
12. Arizona St

if Oregon thumps Penn St and Texas can beat Georgia next weekend, I think we can get the 6 seed. If only one of those happen, we get the 7 seed. If Penn St and Georgia win, I think we get the 8 seed but still host.

I dont think you understand this at all.

 

[Dougie_D]

I dont think you understand this at all.

Well TN isn’t making the top 4. Notre Dame is going to get 5-8 spot because they only lost 1 game. (They can’t get a 1st round bye) . The last conference champ gets in , but my guess is that they’ll place them no worse than 8 (the last conference champ probably gets to host) .
So if that theory stands, only 2 teams can get to host. Let’s say SMU and Penn St lose. They won’t be top 4 , but they’d be a 2 loss runner up.
TN might not get ahead of them

Actually, excuse me. I think we agree.

Miami is way behind us, Georgia loses to Texas we are a 6 seed. Georgia wins we are the 7

I do not think Boise State gets a bye, they would come in seeded 12th. Only the Power 4 champs get a bye.

edit: "The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and will receive a first-round bye. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where it was ranked or at No. 12 if it is outside the top 12 rankings"
