These teams all finish 11-7...

Tennessee
Mississippi State
Arkansas
Florida

In this scenario Tennessee is 1-2, State 2-1, Ark 1-2, UF 2-1....so Florida would be 2nd because of H2H over State and Ark gets 4th over us because of H2H.


It’s a bad look for you to sit here and tell us we are all wrong because you’re hitching your wagon to some yahoo article...and there’s nothing from SECN about it.

U are wrong, but I will take the L. Somehow in a 4-way tie, we get the tie-breaker against Arkansas is my understanding. But, I'm tired of arguing and UT will win another game, anyway. So take, what u all think is a W

Please tell me where I’m wrong, straight from the SEC...

So what’s the 2 team tie-breaker...

Fwiw Grant Ramey has since retracted and admitted he was wrong, UT has not yet clinched a double bye

Sorry, U are wrong. TN loses the tie breaker with Ark. It's all layed out above. The tie breaker format. The H2H records. The fact that 2-1 and 1-2 create two sets of ties and those are settled by the 2-way H2H tie breakers. The media is lazy and wrong. Fake news at Yahoo and WBIR. Pennington is probably stealing our analysis for his 11am show.

I said I will take the L and your scenario looks right to me. Shouldn't matter, it won't work out that way and UT is going to go 1-1 or better, but I will never doubt u guys again on tie-breakers. But, if some reason, u guys watch the Sunday shows and they say UT has clinched a double bye, I want u all to acknowledge it.

Yeah, that's what I get for believing the same guys that said UT was the 13th best team in the SEC

Absolutely, we’ve both acknowledged that UT is getting a double bye, it just isn’t a 100% certainty with no possible options out there...unfortunately it is still mathematically possible.

Just because a show says something doesn’t mean it’s accurate, I would hope you are smart enough to realize that. How many times do you see shows having to go back and clarify or make corrections to something they previously said? Hell earlier today ESPN said Sean Miller had been fired only to have to make a correction and say it was an incorrect report.

What was Jimmy Hyams' big screw up during the FB coach search? He went on national TV with incorrect information. I've already forgotten what it was.

I wish I was on Twitter. I'd like screen shots of every outlet saying that TN has wrapped up the double-bye.

Right, I took it for the gospel because I thought I read and/or heard it from a couple of outlets. Usually, I double check things like that, but those tie-breakers get complicated and mind numbing, especially when I may or may not have been drinking since halftime

He said Jeff Brohm(Purdue) was going to be the next coach lol.

It’s not on Twitter, 1 person was saying it(Grant Ramey) and he has since corrected it and admitted Tennessee doesn’t have it locked up yet.

I get that for sure, but instead of attacking the people willing to actually put in the time to breakdown scenarios and say they’re just battered vol fans maybe listen to them for a minute?

That's cool. But, attack is a little much, all I said was TGO was over thinking it. Of course, apparently, I was letting the media do the thinking for me

Yes, but come on, I never attack anybody. The BVS thing was a joke and even if it wasn't took that way, that's still not attacking. I have been drinking, but other than being wrong about a tie-breaker, I wouldn't say I was being a belligerent drunk. Obviously, I should know better than to argue with either one of u all, by now

No I wouldn't call it an attack. But I was about to ask you whether you think water is wet or not.

In the WBIR metro-sexual, skinny jeans news reader's defense... above all else, he had to make sure that his makeup was right. If Kesling was dead he'd be spinning in his grave (he was the WBIR sports director before taking over for John Ward).
