CFP NC Game

[FranklinVFL]

Wow.

I no longer think we are far away from being a great team. OSU is just heads and tails above everyone this year.

We were all fighting for second place. We just had the unfortunate seed to play them first.

Texas had them on the ropes. Oregon beat them in the regular season. Michigan embarrassed them at home. They were not head and shoulders above everyone. They just got hot at the right time.

This is how the new playoff era will be. It'll be like the NFL playoffs where once you get in it'll be about who gets hot at the right time.

We're still a ways away from being a national title contender. We need more talent on this team if we wanna be the sort of team that can go on these hot streaks down the stretch.

OSU is elite and peaked starting in the playoffs!! Probably generational talent on their roster We have some work to do to catch up !!! We will get there, just gonna take several more recruiting cycles and help from the portal!!!! Their team speed both ways is mind boggling!

 

[casual-observer]

This game is a yawner.

 

[Fatdad32]

We were 10-3 with 2 of 3 losses to playoff teams- Georgia may have very well beat Notre Dame had their starting QB not went down. Ohio State is Elite

Strongly disagree. I don't see any elite NFL stars on their roster outside of possibly Smith and Judkins. This is no 2019 LSU or even 2014 Ohio State. We're not gonna look back 5 years from now and see NFL superstars from this roster.

They didn't get hot, the OSU coaches embarrassed our coaches. That and Nico shopping around between the Vanderbilt game and the OSU game pissed the whole team off.

Didn't OSU also kill Oregon, beat Texas not badly but they controlled the entire game, and they are killing Notre Dame. Our game was not the only game that was played.

NFL is so much better.

Yes, I feel better. - Not great, but it looks like it’s Ohio State’s year (especially in the CFP). I’m at least justified that Tennessee lost to the team that won it all……

And Notre Dame looks even worse than their last football NC game appearance:

Alabama 31 - Notre Dame 14 — January 1, 2021.

lol. Way to run the rumors

 

[Other_Guy]

OSU is just too good. I'd love to have seen Tenn on the other side of the bracket. They'd have won 1 game possibly a 2nd if they played their best.

Best team money can buy. This is the way it’s going to work from here on. The teams with the biggest budgets are going to be there year in and year out. People keep talking about “parity”. Looks like the same old same old to me.

This year was not great for NFL talent in college football. It's why so many true freshman like Jeremiah Smith dominated. The 2024 class had their way cause the upperclassmen weren't that talented.

If we were on the other side of the bracket we'd be in the national championship game right now.

The real national title was Texas vs Ohio State.

A share of great recruits and a portal haul

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

We actually had a better chance coming out in the 2nd half than either Oregon or Notre Dame. Not that we had a chance to win or anything but at least as close as those two

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

So, are all the Vol fans who made asinine posts about our coach & our players going to apologize now?

I love how you come here to troll others who get easily riled up. At least, I hope it's just satire...

And that's after losing our All SEC RB and 2 of our 3 starting WR's

How is it trolling? Lots of national title teams lack NFL superstars. What star NFL players were there on 2023 Michigan? I saw more guys from 2023 LSU dominating the NFL this past year.

College success doesn't necessarily correlate to NFL success. Most of the best NFL players were never close to the CFB playoffs (see Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, etc).

Brian Kelly is easily one of the most overrated coaches of all time. He had Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas on his team last year. That's far worse coaching malfeasance than having Hurd and Kamara and not winning some kind of championship
