Does this showing put extra pressure on us with the next 3 games?

Better play better than they did today or the possibility of losing again isn't too far fetched. A team can beat you twice. We need to play better next week. Missouri is pretty physical on defense.
This team will turn the page and be fired up.

keep telling yourself that. We were embarrassed. Without key teams losing we’re out. And as happy as I am with this year, this loss showed a few things. We may not deserve a spot honestly. Not being negative, just honest. We are a long way from Georgia’s level.
Yes, it showed up today.

Those are your opinions. We didn’t just lose a good ball game. We got embarrassed. We were exposed. Without other key teams taking a loss we aren’t in.
But you can be a really good team and lose the game in the 1st quarter. We did it to everybody else we played, and it happened to us this time. I'll take it considering where we were the last 13 years.

No need of kidding ourselves if we have deficiencies we have to clear up first.

This was our championship game. We have no avenue to get us back in the discussion of play offs because there are too many undefeated teams ahead of us. Plus, this is not a good showing/not a close game, so plan on going to a bowl and playing some team like TCU or the likes. Georgia will not lose to Bama in the championship game, so this was our only shot and it's just not working out. I still say it's a great year and I'm proud of my Vols. We will not struggle with the remaining schedule

There is a lot of football left. The guys on the post game show said we still have a great shot at making it and they can't see us dropping lower than 4-5 even this week.

I guess we will see.

I thought it interesting that Kirby Smart made a point of saying they take zero from the portal. Is that a big deal? I personally don't see it as much of one. Who GAS?

Well yeah.... Taking guys from the portal is the only reason we come into this game 8-0. They are loaded and don't need anyone from the portal. We're taking mature players that might, or in our case, can make a difference. Georgia is so deep with maturity and depth that they don’t even look to the portal for any needs. What do you not understand about that?

Yeah, I heard them say that we could squeeze into the 4 slot. They were just being kind. We won't leap frog any other team that is undefeated and what hurts us is the way we lost today--a very ugly loss. Mich and Penn St still have to play, so one of those will drop. CLemson will probably run the table if they get past NDame tonight. And TCU only has to get past Texas to remain unbeaten. And if Bama makes a close game with Georgia in the title game, they would be looked at as well. A lot of teams would need to lose to give us a shot.

Like I said, a lot of football left. Anything can happen. Bammer never should have gotten the rematch against LSU and that idjut Miles in 2011, but all the cards fell in place with a lot of unexpected upsets. We don't need that level of luck, a notch down will do.

You do realize Bama has an over 75% shot to lose another game, TCU as well.

Y'all need to realize results don't happen in a vacuum

UT wins the next 3 easily - with a couple of breaks they will be in the playoffs

I think our offense will make some adjustments and will be OK for the rest of the year. On defense, did we substitute as freely as we did the last 2-3 games?

We need a solid defense to beat Georgia.
We need some studs like we had in the 90's. And a running back like Jamal Lewis.

Better to get exposed now then get exposed in the playoffs. (I hate getting exposed and losing) So we can learn we're we need improvement. What better team is there to show us where we lack than Georgia? Besides who wants the whole country laughing at us being in the title game not ready for the moment? Just a thought.
