Is the consequence of yesterday that the SEC will only have 3 teams in the playoff?

Texas 10-1
Georgia 9-2
Tennessee 9-2

Fine with me.

 

[butchna]

What was the reason that we got conservative with play calling at Oklahoma?

Missing two starting OTs and trying to minimize damage to Nico.

 

[DD4ME]

Literally every team we needed to lose lost and what is maybe more noteworthy two wins in our column may have just played their way into the top 25.

Potentially. Still a lot of football left to play. Really depends what happens with Clemson, Smu, Scar and a few other teams. I’m sure Bama will be the highest ranked 3 loss team and above a few 2 loss teams

Oh lord, to host Indiana would be a dream.

Then Miami in the quarterfinal.

Edit: In this scenario we would get a neutral site game against either 2-Georgia, 7-Texas, or 10-SMU in the semis.

I feel good about us matching up with Indiana and Miami. Georgia on a neutral field would be a great rematch.

 

[Smokey123]

This would be amazing. Host Indiana, then play Miami and then Uga in the semi’s

Bama, A&M, and Ole Miss losing keeps Indiana in and opens door for 2nd ACC team. We also should finish in the best spot to be: 3rd in SEC

For the love of God just beat Vandy

Best case scenario. That means our playoff road could be easier than our regular season schedule.

Not going to lie - this Vandy game has me nervous

 

[Rishvol]

it looks to me the outside receiver is 2 yards behind the middle receiver, regardless of angle

Why fight something that helped Tennessee. To me it looks like the outside receiver was covering the middle receiver. Yes covering a foot counts as covering the receiver

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I’m still many pages behind but has anyone else commented on the completely wrong statement by Herbstreit on the illegal touching called?

You absolutely don’t throw a flag when the ball is snapped lol. Sure, if it was an illegal formation. But illegal touching requires a player to, you know, touch the ball lol.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Is carrying an airborne player, impeding his ability to catch a ball considered PI? Just asking.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Has anyone done a buddy check on Alabama fans this morning?

 

[DD4ME]

One more from my newest VQ hero Rob Lewis.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Oh, Gosh. Heather Dinich’s playoff prediction has UT as a 9 seed going back to Athens to play 8 seed Georgia…

Stupid. Why place SEC vs SEC and BIG vs BIG?

 

[DD4ME]

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Cignetti said the noise factor is why IU lost yesterday. Just imagine a playoff game in Neyland, Curt. (Your parents spelled your name the wrong way, btw.)

 

[DD4ME]

How the worm has turned

 

[dwaugh]

Undefeated at home this season. I'll take it!

 

[DD4ME]

Agree

On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, a nondescript man calling himself Dan Cooper approached the counter of Northwest Orient Airlines in Portland, Oregon.
He used cash to buy a one-way ticket on Flight #305, bound for Seattle, Washington.
Thus began one of the great unsolved mysteries in FBI history.

Cooper was a quiet man who appeared to be in his mid-40s, wearing a business suit with a black tie and white shirt.
He ordered a drink—bourbon and soda—while the flight was waiting to take off.
A short time after 3:00 p.m., he handed the stewardess a note indicating that he had a bomb in his briefcase and wanted her to sit with him.
The stunned stewardess did as she was told. Opening a cheap attaché case, Cooper showed her a glimpse of a mass of wires and red colored sticks and demanded that she write down what he told her.
Soon, she was walking a new note to the captain of the plane that demanded four parachutes and $200,000 in twenty-dollar bills.

When the flight landed in Seattle, the hijacker exchanged the flight’s 36 passengers for the money and parachutes. Cooper kept several crew members, and the plane took off again, ordered to set a course for Mexico City.

Somewhere between Seattle and Reno, a little after 8:00 p.m., the hijacker did the incredible: He jumped out of the back of the plane with a parachute and the ransom money. The pilots landed safely, but Cooper had disappeared into the night and his ultimate fate remains a mystery to this day.
