Could we still host with Chaos?

[Volsfan2424]

If the gumps found a way to lose, could we be host?
1 Oregon 11-0
2 Ohio State 9-1
3 Texas 9-1
4 WON (ugly) Penn State 9-1
5 LOST Indiana 10-0
6 WINNING Notre Dame 9-1
7 ?????? Alabama 8-2
8 WON Miami 9-1
9 LOST Mississippi 8-2
10 WON (ugly) Georgia 8-2
11 WON Tennessee 8-2

Georgia won by nearly 40 points, so I'm not sure you could say they won ugly.

I’m expecting some playoff rankings BS come Tuesday night

Bama may move up after losing

Georgia won by nearly 40 points, so I'm not sure you could say they won ugly.

I guess I was focusing on the fact that they gave up 21 points and 200+ yards rushing—You are not wrong.

I mean we needed one team for sure but two is great. Three wouldn't hurt because the committee has been all over the place with their explanations. I expect at least the conversation of one team jumping in there from the ACC or Big12 based off SEC cannibalizing itself. So a one bid league becomes 2 possibly. So having some buffer room is nice. I just don't see anyway they let us host one. I feel that will be Texas or Georgia's opportunity whichever loses the SEC Championship game. They are going to send us somewhere I just hope they don't shift us and send us to Oregon or Ohio State whichever is the Big 10 loser.

I wish the Ga Tech game wasn't in Athens.

Doesn't matter it is. GT and Haynes King are gonna run all over GA.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Doubt we will host. We better be worried about Vanderbilt! Their QB is the real deal

We beat Vandy. …. A&M beats the horns … think we will host a game

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

If we win by a couple of TDs in Nashville, we will be hosting

 

[VolArmy74]

Auburn's meltdown doesn't help matters. Now the fear is A&M beats Texas, Texas stays ahead of us and A&M jumps us.

It was a quality loss.

 

[pualsline]

I raised the price of my Airbnb just in case

 

[volbound1700]

We really needed Minnesota to win, that HURT

 

[volfan102455]

Today - three of the teams above us lost ... Indiana, Bama, and Ole Miss.

12 - Boise State barely beat a 2-9 Wyoming team.
13 - SMU won
14 - BYU lost
15 - A&M (now leading Auburn late in the 4th quarter) - They have the same record we do and don't see them jumping us.
16 - Colorado lost

My predictions but who knows what the committee will decide:

We will be either 8 or 9 depending upon what happens to Indiana. We will not jump Georgia. Georgia would host and we would not.

Still need to win out and have teams above us lose.

 

[volfan102455]

Agree we need to beat Vandy and we need to beat them impressively.

 

[stolitonic]

Yea…the first 4 seeds are Big 10 Champ, SEC Champ, Probably ACC Champ and Probably Boise State. The Big 12 Champ will probably be the 12 seed.
The 5-8 slots are probably Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame and Georgia…cause Bama is getting beat tonight!

So basically in your scenario-it would be either Penn St or ND in round 1. I think the committee would monkey with the rankings a bit to avoid 2 SEC teams facing each other in round 1.

Think I would prefer Penn St. Franklin is the opposite of a big game coach.

lol stop it

Win and in next Saturday.

 

[JohnTN]

Miami has to play Syracuse next week. If they lose that game and we beat Vandy we would jump them.

 

[vol94]

Let the chaos continue as aTm goes down!

No chance of that now

 

[deezvols]

Seems like chaos happened today lol

 

[UT97Vol]

We should be 8th when new rankings come out. Probably need to be sixth to host to account for Boise (bye) and Notre Dame (ranked ahead of us).

We should be able to do that when the SEC championship and Big 10 championship game losers. Good chance one or both could drop behind us.

Not only are we in with a win over vandy — with more games to follow I think the odds we host have gone way up today.

 

[Kicker82]

Wait now if the aggies beat Texas and we beat vandy do we play the dawgs in the sec championship?

Yea, if the 5-8 are as I listed I bet Indiana would be #9 and play at Georgia and we’d be either 10 or 11 and play at Penn State or at Notre Dame.

We will likely be the 8 or 9 seed. Come out of that game alive then we’re going to face the 1 seed.

 

[Augustus McRae]

We need texas to win next week, assuming we win. Sec championship game is no good for us in the grand scheme.

Still need ND, UGA, or Penn St to lose for Tennessee to host.
