Still pleading for a cfp spot

2001-2002 Nebraska?

True. Forgot about them. 2001 Nebraska is actually a good comparison.

He has the coaching concession.

This game is simply about one team having far better athletes, far better coaching and far more resources than the other team. And I agree with the above sentiments, when the playoffs move to twelve teams the SEC, including Tennessee, will dominate more than they already have up to this point.

Exactly. This is what happens when you have a bunch of 3 stars (TCU) going up against a bunch of 4 and 5 stars (Georgia). Teams like TCU can pull a game or so out against teams with superior talent, but it always eventually catches up with them. Look it up. Since 1998, no team has won a natty without at least 2 top ten classes out of 4. Things have changed a little perhaps with the portal, but not that much.

When CFP goes to 12, what will the melt down be like when it is 4 SEC teams in semi-final.

FWIW there is Sail racing on CBS SN (Channel 221 Direct TV) from Dubai, U.A.E. if interested….

Curling would be more interesting. Whatever that is.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

There were at least 3 other SEC teams that didnt sniff the playoffs that would've put up a better fight than TCU has.

Missouri?

This game is bad for our sport. Sadly 90 day fiancé with the wife is more exciting than this. I hope everyone turns it off and stiffs the advertisers.

What's a "90 day fiance with the wife?"

 

[FranklinVFL]

Y’all realize UGA put this same beat down on us right? Except the weather was bad so they played conservatively for the entire 2nd half. Georgia is just better, and this title isn’t gonna help us close that gap

Not even remotely the same.

 

[TrueOrange]

Missouri?

Is there a mercy rule and running clock in CFB?

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

I felt like, at full strength, on a neutral field, we were the only team that could have beaten UGA.

Ohio State nearly beat them on a less than neutral field. I think UGA, UT, OSU and Bama are the best in the country and fairly evenly matched.

I rarely post and read often, but this game is in no way a surprise to anyone with minimal football acumen. To those who are shocked, they either do not understand football or are willfully ignorant about TCU. Regardless of what the tv ‘mouth’ says, TCU did not deserve to be there.. frankly if we are talking about the top 4 teams in the country, then I think the committee only got 1 out of 4 correct.

To be fair OSU missed a last 2nd FG, they almost made it instead of Georgia. TCU beat the team that blew out the team that almost beat Georgia. They earned it.

Tennessee beat Bama that beat the brakes off of Kansas State who beat TCU.

 

[volmainia2]

Now you all know why it’s going to 12 teams. It has nothing to do with quality of teams and everything to do with all conferences being treated with respect despite being hot garbage.

and Money and lots more of it

Tennessee beat Bama that beat the brakes off of Kansas State who beat TCU.

I understand all that, but I'm saying was OSU was a FG away from being there instead of Georgia. Anything can happen in any given game....


Except for this game.

 

[TrueOrange]

Tennessee beat Bama that beat the brakes off of Kansas State who beat TCU.

But Kansas State also beat the brakes off Missouri who beat South Carolina who beat the brakes off of Tennessee.

Nah.

UGA and OSU are actually evenly matched in talent. What you saw was two very talented teams playing to their potential.

Michigan is about UT level of talent but playing in the conference where they are the second most talented team by a significant margin and play a one game season.

This beating is so bad, @VolInNW is about to start a separate thread asking people not too talk about it.

The point of this thread was "Can we stop obsessing the big 10 and 12", the Big 12 almost made it instead of the SEC. They didn't and the SEC made it but it wasn't easy.
