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

[rocytop2624]

Auburn needs to beat A&M to really help.

 

[rocytop2624]

What?

The sec conference game!

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Dang OU....yall supposed to storm the field AFTER the game is over...

Ol Kirk was salty about the field rushing

So teams ahead of us from CFP Playoff home perspective

SEC Champion - Assume Texas
B1G Champion - Assume Oregon
ACC Champion - Assume Miami
Big12 Champion - Assume anyone frankly, don't know

Ohio State
Georgia
Penn State
Notre Dame

Tennessee - first away
Indiana
Boise State
Not clear who is left after the chaos, assume South Carolina?


So we need Penn State or Notre Dame to lose to get a home host. Indiana is still in the mix as well, not sure if we will behind or ahead of them.

At the moment, SMU (pre-ACC Championship Game).

After championship game weekend, it could very well be Clemson (if they beat South Carolina), Ole Miss is back into it (I have a hard time seeing them put South Carolina over Ole Miss when Ole Miss played South Carolina this year and beat them very soundly 22-3), or Alabama.

Everything is all of course presuming A&M doesn’t beat Texas and win the SEC Championship Game.

Tell that to Arizona State.

I don't want you to give it to me. I want to earn it.

Not gonna happen

 

[FranklinVFL]

Man, I hope it doesn’t put us in the SEC Championship game!

I do not believe there is a scenario out there where we are in the championship, is there? UGA vs the winner of Texas and aTm, correct? As long as aTm beats Auburn.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

You could never

Not gonna happen

Yeah, Pal, I was kidding

Oklahoma,
Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
(And the wavin' wheat
Can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain)

Crap, you're right. Even though we'd have the same record and Texas would have no good wins, I'm not sure we'd be able to get in front of them or not.

Likely not. Texas has no good wins (unless they beat A&M, then they have 1 good win), but Tennessee has only 1 good win.

Texas only would have losses to ranked teams (Georgia and Texas A&M, if the Longhorns don’t make the SEC Championship Game); Tennessee meanwhile has a loss to a good ranked team but also a loss to 6-6/7-5 Arkansas.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Tell that to Arizona State.

Well AZ at least thought the game was over and they put 1 sec back on the clock.

There was still over 20 seconds left in this one lol

 

[TrueOrange]

Yep the refs are against us. So are the announcers. The SEC pulls against us. The playoff committee doesn't want us in the playoffs. Oh, I almost forgot, ESPN hates us too

Also the rest of the states in the US hate us. Don’t forget that one!

 

[TrueOrange]

Auburn needs to beat A&M to really help.

Eh, not really. Texas beating them would do just as much…or UGA beating them if they get by Texas.

 

[mudhen]

Indiana will get in at 11-1.

And they will get waxed by WHOEVER.

I doubt ESPN hates us. We get views. Their announcers may though

Eliminating TAMU now is clean. Then if they beat Texas the loss looks even worse for Texas

Yeah, I was making fun of the posters with that victim mentality. I don't believe any of it

It's great to see the Elephants getting hosed for a change....love it !!!!

Did it? Alabama losing while Oklahoma wins is a push at best, given the Vols beat both teams. I guess Florida being 6-5 takes it up a smidge, but not enough to balance out anything negative that might come re: the main/only ranked team Tennessee beat getting a 3rd loss today.

 

[TrueOrange]

Now that Alabama lost to Oklahoma, correct in that UGA is in.

The Texas vs Texas A&M winner would go regardless of the A&M Auburn game (it’d be a 5-2 in SEC play A&M playing a 6-1 in SEC play Texas if A&M lost to Auburn).

 

[Volanta]

This's been one weird season.

I love it lol
