UT - 28
Arkansas - 24

The #10 Arkansas Razorbacks came to Knoxville to face the #1 ranked Vols. Arkansas raced out to a 21-10 halftime lead, that stunned the 106,000 fans. Traded field goals and a Tee Martin td run made the score 24-20.

For twelve minutes, neither team could score. Deon Grant blocked a FG attempt, but UT couldn’t muster points. With 2:54 seconds left, Arkansas attempted a punt, but a high snap led to a safety. Down two, UT couldn’t move the ball and turned the ball over on downs with less than 2 minuets left. Then.....the miracle happened. Clint Stoerner stumbled, then laid the ball on the ground, allowing Billy Ratliff to recover the ball on the Hogs 43 yrd line. Travis Henry took over, running 5 straight times and scoring with 31 seconds left, giving the Vols a 28-24 victory. Henry finished with 32 carries for 197 yrds and 1 huge touchdown!

I may have told this story before but I was at Goodyear listening to John Ward on the radio. Guys kept coming by asking about the game. When T Martin threw the fourth down incompletion, I said that about does it and people started going back to work.
They heard me yell and came running, when it was final over I was surrounded by 10-15 guys😂
Needless to say supervisors were not as excited😬😂

Sadly we just lost our cat. She was a sweet girl who lived in the office. Loved to lie on desks, especially on work that was getting more attention that she was. Hang out in people's in-boxes. Steal paperclips and build little piles of them in strange places. Chase balls down the hallway. Make dramatic entrances and sneaky exits.

I believe if a undefeated BYU loses the Big 12 Championship game to a Colorado per say. Then both the Big 12 teams get in, there not kicking a #3 undefeated BYU team down that far for just losing 1 game. That just means the Group of 5 entre will receive a bye. Imo.

The CFP committee just dropped UGA from #3 to #12 for losing to #16 Ole Miss on the road. You don't think BYU would drop that far?

If it comes down to only 3 SEC teams getting in the CFP because 2 ACC or 2 Big 12 teams get in over a 4th SEC team... Sankey will have a fit and ESPN and the committee knows this.

There will be 4 SEC teams everyone knows this. They would replace Indiana after losing to OSU in a blowout. Someone has to get in .

SEC
Texas
Alabama
Tennessee
Mississippi

Georgia can kick damn rocks.


I'm sure some SEC flag carriers would start campaigning for Missouri as the 5th team if they go 10-2. 🤣🤣

I still think it should be the 8 highest ranked conference champs with 8 at-large bids. Higher ranked teams get to host Rd1. Regardless of conf. champ status. (Caveat to hosting rule- I acknowledge a scenario where App State hosting a major conference power in Rd 1 and upsetting them would be glorious.)
