Oregon to jump UT?

[Behr]

Committee will have to decide between a one loss Tennessee or a one loss Michigan or OSU. I have to believe our resume is better than either of those teams

I hope they don't have a 1 loss Pac12 champ and a 1 loss Georgia mixed in that decision too. Not that I think that will happen, I'm just trying to make sure I'm rooting for errbody I need to root for every Saturday between now and that final poll. Lol.

Unfortunately, MO is a 4-6 team right now. An Oregon win vs #25 team is devastating to UTs ranking in th he CFP poll.

Troll post acknowledge.

This aged well.
PS, they should be automatically disqualified for those hideous uniforms.

They've said they heavily rate SOR. We are #2. Oregon is #6.

We're way up on overall SOS. #2 vs. #28.

We're up way higher on Game Control too (#2 vs. #30). We're much better positioned, whether they win out or not.

Don’t go throwing out all that common sense stuff at us. That wouldn’t fit the agendas of the biased folks.

Oregon lost Saturday. Seeing how this committee operates, they would take a 2 loss Oregon over a one loss UT. They hate Tennessee.

And have they given Bo Nix the Heisman yet? If you haven't heard he's great

Just saw this morning's headline...

'Husky Men Squash Ducks'

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Best QB ever. He should go straight to the NFL today and suit up. Bypass the end of his college season altogether

No...they would not.

 

[Jeff Clark]

No Oregon wont jump Tennessee

 

[ButchPlz]

No...they would not.

I wonder if people ever eventually feel embarrassed by posts like that. It's not even remotely true.

Yeah we never get any love by the committee. We should have been ranked #1 a couple weeks ago.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Lol Oregon got beat already! They are out!

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Sure will!! Oh whoops. Never mind. My bad

 

[Coachmike17]

The committee is going to have to decide between multiple one loss teams all with a case to be in. My BVS tells me this won't end well for the Vols.

We were #1 and lost to #2 Georgia, fell to #5. How can the lower of #2 vs #3 not fall to at least #5 based on that?

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Mods, please kill thread

 

[Volador]

One must remember that ESPN/ABC hosts the Heisman Giveway TV event, so it is truly in their best interest to promote the team of one of the top 2 Heisman contenders right now. That would be UT. And yes, lots of people in Bristol are loading up on Pepto Bismal

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Nope. They aren’t leaving out a pac 12-1 conference champion. Period. All 3 of them are interchangeable.

UT wins out we are in no matter anyone else does.

 

[TnVol!]

Must be playing checkers.

 

[Vol8188]

Not a chance. Tennessee needs TCU to lose to get in

There’s 4 teams that get in. Not one.

 

[IndianaVol]

Oregon's out...now we need a TCU stumble.

FWIW - I was one of the ones pointing at Sonny Dykes when Pruitt got hired.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a MILLION percent happy with the way things turned out.
Just saying Dykes would have done well here too.

Wasnt Georgia 3 when they played Tennessee ?

 

[jasonvol18]

Watch out for them as a potential to leap frog our Vols. Just like the Heisman race, it ain't right but in a media driven sport, fairness doesn't exist.

Not anymore!

USC gets to play top 25 ND, UCLA and Oregon (or Utah) to finish the season. That gets them the 4th spot if they go 3-0.

They aren't. They are very fatally flawed and have benefitted as much as anyone from not playing anybody. Our defense is on UGA's level compared to USC this year. I would be shocked if they win out. They very likely could finish with 3 losses.

The committee won't overlook this juggernaut of impressive victories after their close loss to Utah (who got beat by a middling Gator squad):

O-15 A UTAH 42-43
O-29 A ARIZONA 45-37
N-5 H CALIFORNIA 41-35

At least our closest wins were against teams with winning records.
