A 5+7 format means the top 5 conference champions and the next 7 highest-ranked teams would make the 12-team CFP.

September 27, 1953

Former Tennessee Vol Bert Rechichar kicked a NFL record 56 yard FG, and returned an interception 36 yards for a TD, helping the Baltimore Colts defeat the Chicago Bears 13-9.

That’s textbook!

Somehow would be called targeting or unsportsmanlike conduct…

Awesome how he pulled up and still laid the qb out.
Almost looks like it’s been sped up.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

More of a baseball guy than a football guy, but this games looks like we should want o control the ball running, take our shots when given, and depend on the defense to get them in some tough downs and distances to force a turnover or two. Am I right?? I think we may have to score 35+ to win…..seems like we should be able to run at will, force them to load the box and then hit them over the top. Having Cooper back should be huge. Am I thinking correctly??

 

[Dudley Smith]

There’s not a huge drop off from Weidman to Johnson at QB, but if Johnson should get hurt (this week or next) the drop off is . . . Precipitous

 

[VolNash17]

Rattler and Johnson will probably throw for 300+ yards each… key will be running the ball on offense and hitting the middle effectively

 

[itsme]

Max Johnson is battle tested, but I think this is a good thing for Tennessee.

Playing the backup QB has never been a good thing for Tennessee

Pains me that we don’t use the middle of the field. Joe is not that off on those throws. Just work on it.

Should be 4 + 8. The PAC12 is dead, leaving a Power 4 instead of 5. Champions of the SEC, Big10, ACC, and Big12 should be automatic bids. Then it should be the next 8 best teams. No other conference is deserving of an automatic bid.

Honestly as long as we win I don't give a damn how much yards are thrown on us.

The G5 is going to get their say, but I don't think they deserve a seat at the table.
Imo 6 conferences, top 2 teams in each conference, make the conference championship games the first round of the playoffs. Re seed teams after the championship games.

Dude has hit Keyton, Bru and Squirrel on slants quite a few times already.

We didn't really throw over the middle all that much with Hendon really.

Every 6 years. Interesting.

That’s dumb. Especially with conference realignment going on.

yeah, this reeks of having to be redone in short order once all this realignment stuff starts to settle. i'm not sure the Big 12 is/should be considered "power 5" anymore. the Pac 12 certainly won't be. the group of 5 should grow to the group of 7 when it's all said and done....

big 10, SEC, ACC starting next season will be the only 3 that matter. and really, only 2 of those matter unless FSU and Clemson and a couple of other of those programs step it up...(UNC, Miami in particular).

AP said it on the pc yesterday....can't let 'em finish drives. do what you will between the 30's. they probably will. just can't let them finish.

The 5th automatic bid goes to the best Group of 5 team not the now defunct Pac 12 winner...

Vols were inches from winning that 2017 game, if I recall correctly. Last play was a dropped pass into the end zone.

2011 was certainly a low point - uncompetitive and at one point in the third SC had a crazy 8 or so minute drive…

2013 was fun! Best SC team of all time…

 

[mrmax86]

Did this analysis this morning. Posted it in the FF, but wanted to also post here. Thoughts on this?

The chart below is the number of points we've scored per 3-minute period of each of our 4 football games so far. Each tick mark at the bottom represents a 3-minute period in which we did not score.



UVA: 7 straight periods with no TD (>21 min)
AP: 9 straight periods with no TD (2 FGs) (>27 min), then, another 6 periods (>18 min) in the 2nd half.
UF: THIRTEEN straight periods with no TD (1 FG) (>39 min)
UTSA: 8 straight periods with no TD (1 FG) (>24 min)

We have to cut down on these lulls.

 

[rikberry31]

You also had hooker. Who threw football accurately downfield. Not saying Joe doesn’t but hooker did it well. He rarely missed a streaking WR.

He did early in the season

 

[TheRain]

Never mind.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I don’t love automatic bids. I want the 12 best teams seeded accordingly, period.

Now, if auto bids for conference winners are still seeded accordingly and don’t just automatically get a bye, home field advantage, or whatever else they decide then I’m fine with it.
