@UTSuave’

At least Indiana is kicking ass for me right now. I still won’t emotionally recover today for passing up Vandy ML after talking about it for days. Talked myself straight out of it smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s a negative slant to suggest a 2 loss sec team won’t make it in based on nothing but “your” feelings…

okay Einstein

10-2 UT
10-2 Tex A&M/Texas (with the other one likely being in anyways)
10-2 LSU/Bama
11-1/ 10-2 UGA if they do slip up against someone

Then there’s a legitimate possibility 3 big 10 schools get in. Notre Dame if they don’t lose again. 2 ACC schools maybe, 2 big 12 schools maybe. A group of 5 is guaranteed a spot. Spots are tight. If you feel insanely good at 10-2 you may have blinders on. We can certainly get in at 10-2 under the right circumstances but to act like it’s not iffy is crazy and truly ignorant since you like throwing around words you don’t understand. There’s 12 spots.

Why? Our SoS is pretty bad with that Arkie loss looking worse every day. Other conferences are threatening to crowd the Playoff spots. nearly every commentator I've listened to says the same thing. The # of spots for the SEC may not be as large as we thought in the pre-season. Heck, SEC Shorts (I think it was) made a skit about how damaging the SEC schedule is compared to what other conferences are doing this year.

No one that I've seen (@UTK included) is saying that we WON'T make it, as you seem to have straw-manned in the above post. But many are saying that it's we MAY NOT make it in at 10-2. And we're giving reasons.

Now, I'll advise you to go look at the SEC standings. We have 5 teams with a decent shot at finishing 10-2. More that possibly could. But anyway, Do you see 5 SEC teams in the playoff, if all 5 finished 10-2? Yes? (Then you're the ignorant one). No? (Then is it 'negative' to say that a 10-2 SEC team could get shut out?) It's little question about whether a 10-2 SEC team could miss the playoff. Now, we're just discussing whether UT would. And the fact is that the ARK loss is doing us no favors.

("Common sense" is not the same as claiming "indisputable fact".)
