I agree with your post. Plus the Playoff committee is the only one that matters, though they wait until first week in November.
I don’t think they will do it, but the committee could rank us @ number two after TN beats KY. Being one or two gives a team an opportunity to climb back into contention if a couple of teams stumble. I’m not sure how far we would drop with a loss to UGA, hopefully just a few spots. We would need UGA to beat Bama and no undefeated PAC 12 teams.
It is so much fun that we are having this conversation as it’s great to be relevant nationally once again. It’s been too long!!!
Go Vols!
