I know there are several in the RF that place bets and are familiar with betting lines. Have you all seen any projected betting lines of the 12 team matchups?

I’m not even sure if a projected line is a real thing, just curious where Vegas would put a line at for example Tennessee at Penn State or Tennessee at Indiana or Notre Dame.

I’m seeing a lot of hypothetical lines floating around, but I haven’t seen anybody actually taking bets yet. A line you can’t bet isn’t really a line.

Who are the recruits we’re focusing on down the stretch besides current commits?

Campbell
Morris
Perlotte
Merritt

Am I missing anyone? Would love to see us flip an OL but don’t see it right now.

Also are Redmond and Lewis solid? How’s their seasons going? I’ve heard very little about them since they committed.

we don't operate like that. kid has to be offered in 9th grade, grown up a Vol fan, been to campus 7-8 times before they can openly declare we are in their top 2, & make their final decision between us and Ole Miss/Auburn/Georgia/Florida/UNC/insert school.

November 21, 1987

UT - 24
Kentucky - 22

Down 20-17 in the fourth quarter, Jeff Francis hit Terrance Cleveland for their 2nd TD to give the Vols a 24-20 lead. Kentucky marched down the field and had 1st and goal at the 5. Three consecutive runs from Mark Higgs could not get the ‘Cats across the goal line. On 4th down from the one, SEC Defensive Player of the Week, Mike Whitehead, lost his helmet and stopped Higgs short of the goal line. An intentional safety helped preserve the 24-22 Vol victory. Reggie Cobb had 144 yrds rushing and eclipsed the 1,000 yrd barrier for the season.

Whitehead and The Stop!!!

We can’t simply win out and get in. Not based on these rankings.

Someone above us has to lose.

It really needs to be Alabama or Ole Miss - those are the only teams losing that guarantee us jumping in.

At least a few teams above us HAVE to lose, as they will play each other either to finish regular season or in conference championship games.

Sincerely, what is wrong with you?

I just don't want to answer your question. If you want to know what they said, go look at it yourself.

Sincerely, I was about to ask you the same.

Banging out a half dozen sentences seems an odd way to demonstrate how little you care to answer.

Simply not answering would have been easier than this charade.

I think they meant the holidays and not the playoffs, but it works.


November 21, 2024: Refuse to get overwhelmed by the sadness of this season. Take life as it comes and God will give you the grace to navigate through difficult circumstances. Lean on Christ to bring you through to a place of peace. Psalm 46:1-4 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

Don’t wave that white flag yet. No sadness yet, only hope.

Not sure Indiana getting rolled by Ohio State eliminates them. Big 10 will still argue they're a 1-loss team. Kind of like to see Indiana win and give Ohio State a second loss.

That still gets osu in the playoffs.
Indiana losing big and going to the big championship game and losing big again would be best.

No scenario where osu isn’t in unless they lose to both indiana and michigan.

So here’s to rooting for Indiana and michigan. 😈

Texas losing to A&M is likely unfavorable to us.
Indiana losing to Ohio St doesn’t guarantee us.
Conference Game losses won’t eliminate teams in our favor.

We need Bama or Ole Miss to lose.
