Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

I think we'd beat Oregon.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Georgia first team out, they will be motivated.

Ok? So will we

 

[UTProf]

Miami at 9 but a 4 seed. This auto bid ish is a joke.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

LOL at two teams ahead of us in the rankings losing and Tennessee stays in the same spot. Yeah, we aren’t getting in without a win this weekend. If a BYU win over Utah is good enough to jump us, we’re screwed. They are telling you what they think of you. No respect.

 

[VolNash17]

Tennessee has set themselves up, need to step it up and kick some ass.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Better hope we win or a bunch of teams lose in front us...because us not even moving up to 6 shows us what they plan to do to us if we lose to UGA.

 

[VolInDayton]

So both Indiana and BYU jumped Tennessee based on what?

Less than touchdown wins against teams that don't have a winning record.

I get dumber everytime I try to follow the committees "logic" which is now based on best losses and eye test in select games they feel like talking about.

Depends on what happens with other teams as well. Too early the day 10-2 Vols don’t get in.

 

[BigSteve09]

Watching these rankings the last two weeks, thinking about Arkansas

 

[InVOLuntary]

So both Indiana and BYU jumped Tennessee based on what?

Eye test.

 

[MarcoVol]

They’ll be motivated bc they’re playing the Vols, at home, at night

 

[VolInDayton]

Eye test.

We won by 19 with a backup QB playing a half. They won by 1 and 5 against bad teams.

Penn State and Texas lost to ranked teams but have beat no ranked team. We lost to unrank team (barely) and beat Bama who is in the playoff hunt. Yet, we are number 7. Never get respect.

 

[UTProf]

So both Indiana and BYU jumped Tennessee based on what?

Nico being out and the expectation that we will lose.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Penn State losing on the road at Minnesota next week would help but this week they play (checks notes) 1-8 Purdue

 

[JCP201]

Less than touchdown wins against teams that don't have a winning record.

I get dumber everytime I try to follow the committees "logic" which is now based on best losses and eye test in select games they feel like talking about.

I wonder where we would be if the BCS was still in play instead of bias committee?

 

[jordan4vols]

The rankings tonight simply mean if we lose we’re out. If we win we’ll probably jump to 4th.

 

[VolGee4]

Eye test.

Beating 4-5 Utah by 1 point with help from the conference officials? That’s some bad eyes.

 

[Weezer]

I would sacrifice @Weezer 's left arm for the Vols to drop a 28pt 1st qtr on the dogs and beat them by about 40.

I would sacrifice your left nut just to win.

 

[jakez4ut]

Nico being out and the expectation that we will lose.

Yeah. Feels like they left us there as a place holder for somebody else. It's like they're itching for us to lose.

We need to win to shut it all up.

But at the same time... Get your cups and have em ready.

The Committee just signaled what they plan to do if we lose. They don’t respect our Alabama win and they are holding our loss against us more than they are others. It’s win this weekend or your season is over. Doesn’t matter what other teams do.

 

[JCP201]

Nico being out and the expectation that we will lose.

Is Nico out? I haven't read that.

 

[MarcoVol]

Yes it does matter what other teams do

 

[Weezer]

You keep my sources name out your mouth!

Everyone knows your source is @Glitch . And he's a jinx.

Same thing happened with us in 2022. Everyone forgot we slaughtered LSU and beat Bama.
