Next 3 games

We need to score 50 or more points a game over these next few to be considered for a 4th spot. I think they put Oregon over us if they are pac12 champs!

Yes, but if UT wins out and Oregon is in ahead of UT, what are Tennessee's chances of being invited to the Rose Bowl as an at-large team? I'd be happy with that as a consolation prize.

If Oregon won out and made it in over UT our bowl tie in would put us in the Sugar Bowl OR the Orange Bowl if by some chance someone like LSU or Ole Miss got the Sugar Bowl berth.

Not bad options ... considering how long it's been !

An 11-1 Tennessee team will be in the playoffs..........no doubt.

TCU will lose once and loser of OSU/UM will be out. As long as we win out we will get one of those two spots

There is plenty of doubt even at 11-1. If UGA, OSU or Michigan, and TCU all win out they'll be the top 3 seeds. Then there's the good chance the Pac 12 winner of either Oregon/UCLA/USC will jump UT if they run the table and are 12-1. And UNC or Clemson can run the table in the ACC and be 12-1 also. The committee is going to put in a 1 loss conference champion over a 1 loss UT IMO. So we really need TCU to lose, a blowout in the OSU/Michigan game (just in case), UGA to win out, and either the Pac 12 winner to be a 2 loss team or the ACC winner to be a 2 loss team.

The committee is charged with putting the 4 best teams in the playoff, period. Tennessee is one of those four according to all the metrics.

i think the SC will be alot tougher than we think

Oregon has played three teams with a winning record and are 2-1 in those games. Tennessee has played 8 :O

True. But it’s a daily conversation on every sports talk show so I don’t mind the OP posting. I personally don’t search every topic on volnation.

A one loss Pac 12 team will go over a one loss TN team.

TN needs to look impressive along with a TCU loss. Also, it would help if Ohio St pummels Michigan.

no we do not!! ohio state is not blowing people out and tcu has been behind in the 4th quarter about 5 games - we just need to keep winning

I doubt they give us the same respect as Ohio state. And evidently they are on tcu big time

Missouri is going to be a close game. I can feel it. Memories of Arky '98 in my head. First tremors of BVS I've had all season.

 

[claimjumper steve]

I'm on the fence about UT's championship quest. If we win the next 3 games confidently, then, yes, we belong in the picture .But if we stumble and look less than stellar than I would be happy with a 5-6 ranking and a great New Year's bowl game. Anyway you look at it I am stoked about this year's Vols!
