Debate over: SEC endorses Tennessee as the real 'UT' of the conference over Texas

[HoptownVol]

Really no debate here, just an argument with idiot Texas fans.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

So, kind of like USC Jr?

UT Jr.???? I can live w dat

I prefer the solution the SEC staff came up with: just call them TEX.

Vols or UT
UGa
FL
Ky
Mizzou
USCe
Vandy
Bama
Auburn (or the Barn)
LSU
Ole Miss
Miss St
Arky
A&M
Okla (or OK)
TEX

Simple.

Go Vols!

Don't want to take the time to look it up but Tenneesse bacame a University around 20 to 30 years before Texas became a University!Not just that but Texas would now be University of Mexico if not for Tennessee fighters saving them!!

Yes if it were not for Tennessee they would be Mexas instead of Texas.

 

[madbamahater]

I'd be cool with Texas using UTjr if they want to fuss about it, but there would be no them without us, so they can shut that **** up.

 

[madbamahater]

Why not just TX? This is really not that difficult

All I know is WGWTFA in 2026.......

 

[TheRealUT98]

yep and the SEC hasn't put much out on how the tiebreakers will work

Pretty sure it would be the 2 highest ranked playing the the conference championship

The conferences really don't like deferring decisions as important as who plays in their championship game to an outside party. Which is what ranking systems and polls are.

I think we'll see a series of tie-breaker rules enacted that will sound pretty similar to what used to exist for division tie-breakers.

If there's a reference to rankings, like the CFP or AP Poll, it will come waaaaay down the list at the bottom, after everything else has been tried.

Go Vols!

Well, don’t get your hopes too high for that. How about UGA vs the real UT in an SEC Championship? Obviously I’m referring to the UT from the great state of Tennessee.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to destroy the Vols every time we play. Apologies, but it’s just CFB ptsd from being a GA fan in the 90’s! I can’t help it. But I’m not gonna sit here and watch some new narcissistic conference member come in claim things they haven’t earned. UT is the Vols. Sure, overall I hate them, in a football sense, but I love to hate them. Screw Texas!!!! I mean really SCREW TEXAS!!!! That’s all I have to say, aside from, you Vols are my UT, and bc it’s not a Fall weekend, I hope you all have a great weekend. .

Hate agreeing with you. But I do.

If I had my way Texas and Oklahoma would get their butts handed to them this year. Screw'um both.

*And the gaters too.

We were UT before they were a state, much less a university.

Yep don't need media biases playing into who goes to SECCG. In Birmingham, they're probably praying that they don't have a bunch of 10-2 teams tied at the top.

Not sure if it’s the same but in 2003 that was the reason why UGA was awarded the appearance in the championship game when it was a 3 way tie.

Yah, it was the seventh tie-breaker rule. There were six rules before that, but we, UGa, and Florida had all tied in every one of those tiebreaker rules, lol.

That's what I meant when I said any use of rankings would come waaaaay down at the end of a long list of tie-breaker rules that are internal to the conference.

SEC Adopts New Divisional Tie-Breaker - University of Tennessee Athletics

Nov. 7, 2003 The athletics directors of the Southeastern Conference held a conference call today and unanimously voted to adopt a new seventh tie-breaking

This season, if Florida, Georgia and Tennessee all win the remainder of their SEC games, then all three teams would be tied for the Eastern Division Championship. In the SEC Divisional Tie-Breaker, the three teams would remain tied through the first six procedures in the tie-breaker. [emphasis added]

Go Vols!

Tiebreakers should be decided upon prior to the season.
