If Alabama loses what does that do for the Vols playoff picture wise?

[Other_Guy]

Ok. Which one of you all paid the refs in the bama game?

Im usually joking. You won't convince me that wasn't fixed.

 

[VolArmy74]

Georgia is done with their SEC schedule. They are in. It's down to Texas and A&M for who plays them.

I, for one, am glad. CFP playoff or nothing!

Unless Alabama manages to come back and beat Oklahoma, Georgia is in. I'm pretty happy that they got shafted out of a td by a bad call.

As long as the score holds in the OU-Alabama game, Georgia is in.

If Alabama somehow pulls off a comeback in the 4th quarter, they beat UGA in almost every tiebreaker situation.

 

[TrueOrange]

Ole Miss and Indiana lost today as teams who couldn’t afford a loss indeed lost.

Bama losing is just icing on the cake and means Georgia and Tennessee will likely move up into “Hosting playoff game” territory.

Indiana most likely could afford the loss once Ole Miss also lost.

 

[VolArmy74]

Of course the Alabama player just fielded a punt at the 1 when it was about to bounce into the endzone. So that level of stupidity negates getting screwed by officials as a reason for losing.

I think the most likely is Georgia if they lose the SEC Championship game.

Do you think Tennessee could actually have a higher playoff ranking than Georgia if Georgia loses the SEC Championship ?

I'm being optimistic.

Auburn just choked a 21 point lead away

…have you watched Auburn this year?

 

[VaBornVol]

I wonder if Oklahoma is pumping in crowd noise…?

 

[BJWeeks]

I'm sure Indiana and Ole Miss will be out and bama will still somehow be the first team in

Agreed because at this point the CFP committee hasn't said what would happen if a 2 loss team got their 3rd in a Conference Championship game.
Saw were Pate was discussing it and they were asked and the way he talked made it sound like the committee wouldn't guarantee they'd put them in

 

[VolArmy74]

They will likely stay in due to Big 10 politics. They have given no indication they can play with a top 15 team this season. Booger McFarland, who's advocated for them all season, said that today. He said the committee has to look at whether they think Indiana can compete with another playoff team, and how much weight do they give it. If they do get in, conferences would be crazy not to give out easy schedules to their contenders every year.

 

[Shaun1985]

Tennessee won't host but we're for sure In. If Notre Dame loses to USC next week, we're close to hosting. It would be pretty sweet too

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Indiana will get in at 11-1.

Yes, now that Alabama is getting their asses handed to them in Norman

 

[Volsfan2424]

I would think that Georgia would actually want Alabama to win today. That way all Georgia has to do is beat Georgia Tech and they're in.

 

[TrueOrange]

Remember we beat Oklahoma that’s beating them tonight

I mean so did Missouri….who lost to Alabama soundly…who lost to Oklahoma soundly…who lost to Missouri…who lost to Alabama soundly…who lost to Oklahoma soundly…who lost to Missouri…who

Still got to beat Auburn

 

[TrueOrange]

Still got to beat Auburn

I mean yes, but also if OU beats Alabama, Auburn doesn’t really matter.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Not sure why they didn't pressure Milroe on that 3rd play, prob could've got a sack as Milroe just not getting away from sacks tonight

 

[UTFranklinVol]

Milroe is down not getting up.

Edit he is up but shaken

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Oklahoma is gonna choke

I will bet you $100 and give you 5-1 odds

 

[TrueOrange]

It will not unless Texas and Georgia lose a game

Still wouldn’t put Tennessee in the conference championship game. Vols were eliminated from all scenarios once Florida beat Ole Miss and Texas beat Kentucky.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Either way this helps us right? We beat both teams and makes the OU win look better?

 

[LAVol1]

I think the most likely is Georgia if they lose the SEC Championship game.

Don't rule out UGA being a 4-loss team. They still have GA Tech.

Good we don't need it or want it
