If you were offered a deal right now:

I think this poll is flawed because it just gives the one definite outcome, instead of two outcomes with varying levels of success.

I think a better question would be something like “go 9-3 in the regular season with a Citrus Bowl win OR go 10-2 (or whatever record) in the regular season with an Orange Bowl/sugar bowl/whatever bowl loss?” Overall record for the season is the same, different endings.

WTF kind deal is this? Am I supposed to be on crack or meth to accept this deal?

 

[Just a VolinTears]

This is easy.

This feels like it is right out of the Butch Jones era.

Blown out by both Bama and UGA, but sweep A&M, UK, Mizzou and VU. 5-3 SEC record, Citrus Bowl appearance. Would you take the deal or roll the dice?

Take that deal and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

You mean would we sacrifice the two meaningful games left on our schedule to be in a meaningless bowl game?

Nah beating all those teams AND beating Bama & UGA just feels right.

Very true, but UT hasn't beaten a legit team or won on the road so far this season. We'll need one helluva game from Milton to pull it off in Tuscaloosa especially with the home cookin' that always and I mean ALWAYS comes for bama at home. On top of that, Milroe is starting to find his inner QB. He had 6 sacks yesterday and still had a stat line that Milton hasn't come close to this year against much softer competition. Personally, I think aTm is our best shot in the next 3 games. It's almost a must win if we're to have serious thoughts of a 9 win season...and honestly, that might be too big an ask for this years team.

TBH everything comes down to them dudes in the trenches. If the DL continues to play violent and the OL continues to reset the LOS we'll be fine. The one time we didn't play well in the trenches we took the L. The A&M game will be tough but that home field advantage should make our DL a little bit better. The Bama game should be tough but I know we can play with them in the trenches because I've already seen it from a good majority of these guys. The UGA game is the one we're I don't think our OL can dominate, but on the other side I think our DL can cause some major problems especially if we're 1 loss going in.

Never, ever should a true Vol fan accept a blowout by Alabama for any reason.
