All TN had to do was beat USCe. But instead they allowed some drama to divide the team and take focus off of the big prize (CFP). Woulda, coulda, shoulda. They should’ve beat the team they were favored to beat by 22.

The sad thing is we were concerned about winning with “style points” when 1 point win would’ve sufficed.

Exactly, they wouldn’t take what the defense was giving. It was infuriating to watch. Reminded of the game against Memphis when Fulmer was dead set on running the ball which cost TN the game.

UT is about to be totally by the CFB committee. LOL Only us. TCU or BAMA will be taken over us with some BS excuse.

TCU should be in at the 1 loss school. All because that 1 loss was in their conference championship. No other teams deserve it. Especially OSU or the Satans clan in amabala

Is a loss the deciding factor?

Bama has 2 losses, Tennessee was one of them (who beat them) and Tennessee beat the other team who beat Bama.

Tennessee has a better strength of schedule

Tennessee has better wins

Tennessee has a better road win

Tennessee has the head to head

Tennessee certainly had a terrible loss…….however what does “Bama”…….themselves have “over” Tennessee?

Tennessee lost 2 games, other than those 2 Tennessee was ahead by 17 points or more at some point in every other game this season but 1 (the Pitt game).

Bama literally won 3 games where it came down to the wire…….the literal last second.

Tennessee didn’t have a bunch of those. The Florida game was close at the end but with like 5 minutes to go Tennessee was ahead by 17…………they needed miracles just to make it close.

Seems pretty black and white to me. If Bama gets in and we do not, we should absolutely rise up and do something. Some say it’s not possible, I say Greg Schiano.

It's the timing. If we played Bama within the last 3 games and won it would hold a MASSIVE amount of weight..as opposed to a game that seems like a long time ago...like it may as well have been last year.

Tennessee was the only factor in the Greg situation……..not this time.

Everyone in college football.

It changes in 24

I firmly believe Tennessee should be ahead of Bama; however I also do not believe it matters much. I believe TCU and OSU are in.

I also believe if Tennessee had just taken care of business…….they would be 3rd right now………

First off, yes i know, the stain of the USCe loss will be a difficult one to overcome, but can the right chips fall into place to jump the Vols over Bama?

Utah, beating USC knocks them out. Keep in mind Florida beat Utah and we in turn beat Florida, Bama can't claim this.

Clemson beats UNC, propping up Clemson and in turn USCe, making our loss perhaps look somewhat less terrible.

UGA beats LSU which diminishes our win, yes, but makes Bama's loss look a little worse.

It's all minor things, and if TCU and USC win It's all moot anyway. Not to mention if the committee will even take this all into account, but it's interesting to think about. It's also great to be having playoff possibilities talk on championship weekend!!!

We are eliminated on basis of 2 losses and media bias. Accept and move on…

Well, since you asked:

All things are possible.
Nothing is impossible.
Therefore, it is possible for something to be impossible.

I just love helping my fellow Vols fans.

Everything that had to happen, happened. Problem is we got destroyed by an 8-4 unranked team. Orange Bowl here we come.

SCeast is 9-3. With a win over Clemson. Bama lost to LSU, who actually does have four losses, one a blow out to us in their own house.

Did Jeremy Banks immature tantrum keep UT from playing for a Natty?

Banks was late for a few practices and meetings. Scuffles happen in practice all the time, and whether that did or did not happen, it would not have led to his suspension.

I have heard former players praise Heupel for suspending Banks for the game. Said Butch and Dooley wouldn't have, and it would have turned into a cancer in the locker room.
