I think it does us good for Bama to win out. There is no way you can justify taking Bama at 10-2 over UT at 10-2 especially when Bama’s other loss is Vanderbilt

We should put our hatred aside (temporarily) and pull for Florida the remainder of season.
They can actually be the spoiler in the whole thing, and they looked very good against KY.
Also, fighting for their coaches job can motivate them.

FL plays 4 of who we need them to beat.
GA Home
@ TX
LSU Home
OleMs Home

That’s a tough ask….
Those are all Top 15 caliber teams

Don’t think Jerry has thought this through in his prediction. If Texas A&M is the 11 seed and Texas is the #6 then that has to mean that Texas beat A&M last game of the year giving A&M two losses. I guess he thinks a Tennessee loss to presumably Georgia and Arkansas on the road is worse than a home losses to notre dame and Texas for A&M. Granted preseason he picked A&M to make the playoffs so I guess he is riding with them.
We do need A&M and LSU to start losing some games though or Texas to lose two more.

Palm picked Alabama yesterday in Neyland.

Bama is still getting a boost from what they did to UGA in the first half of that game. Reality is if both Bama and us end up with 2 losses and there is only one team to be selected, it will be Bama due to the bias.

Or, because they beat UGA n that scenario and we theoretically didn't...

Given we won the head to head, I can’t imagine Bama gets in over us. Also A&M still has LSU, Texas, and SC. I think they go 1-2 in those

100% agree, but I do remember '22...both 10-2 (UT beat Bama), and Bama finished #6 (Sugar Bowl) & UT #7 (Orange Bowl).

I don’t pretend to know any scenario that will guarantee us a playoff spot. But I do know for a fact, if we lose to anyone besides Georgia we are toast as far as playoffs are concerned. Better take this one game at a time and it will thin down the possibilities as the season goes along. Hope the team concentrates on the off week of getting better and getting healthy. We have a good shot at the playoffs, so hop on and enjoy the ride. Go Vols! Beat Kentucky!

Tennessee is ranked 8, TAMU 14.

Palm has Texas at 6, meaning they beat TAMU in G12.

Vols play UGA in G10 and the Dawgs will be ranked ahead of Texas the rest of the way.

I bleed Orange and I'm a SEC Homer but, the defending Natl Champ is Mich.

If UM doesn't beat Mich State this weekend, they may not be bowl eligible. With only 4 wins so far and games left with Oregon, Indiana and OSU, they have to win MSU and Northwestern just to get to .500.

Less than 2 weeks ago, there was a lot of doom and gloom around here about every other game being a toss up and even a bowl game in question. Now we're back to CFP scenarios.

There are two obvious scenarios in which Tennessee is a lock for the playoffs. The first is winning out, including the SEC title game, which would guarantee a playoff spot. The second is winning the remaining regular-season games. Even if Tennessee lost the conference title game, they would still get in at 11-2. If they finish 11-1 but miss the title game, they would still be a lock to make the playoffs.

Think it’s the fact our schedule looks weaker and weaker by the day. NC State and Oklahoma are no longer considered quality wins even though they were ranked opponents when the games were played. At this point, our loss to Arkansas is unexplainable. In reality, our resume isn’t stacking up the way we would have expected.

Unfortunately this is true. I don’t know if we make it in if we lose to UGA and then win out. Our SOS looks extremely weak now.

The TAMU v Texas game is in College Station.

More likely that Texas is the 10-2 team out of the playoffs, not Tennessee.
