Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Let’s gooooo!!! Win and host baby! Do it for Neyland!!!

Yes, hosting is looking much more likely.

Win big, hope for just a tad more chaos.


And F Minnesota for not finishing off Penn St

 

[beneVOLence]

Saban be like “don’t look at our losses”.

Imagine if this was the final bracket, Oregon would probably be pissed. Top overall seed expecting the “easiest” second round game and you’d have a date with Georgia or Tennessee lol.

And both teams would beat them

 

[WesTnVol]

We beat Vandy
USC beats Notre Dame
A&M beats Texas
Miami-Penn St-Clemson-Bama all losing
That a Fantasic weekend

 

[Adam Sandler]

There will be more carnage. Georgia will move up if they win SEC. I bet these rankings will change.

We need uga to beat Texas like a drum again. Assuming Texas beats tamu… uga gets the bye and I think we could end up hosting Texas. That would be big time.

Elite analysis by the chair of the committee.

 

[butchna]

We beat Vandy
USC beats Notre Dame
A&M beats Texas
Miami-Penn St-Clemson-Bama all losing
That a Fantasic weekend

Add Michigan beating the Nuckiiii’s and we’re cooking with gas.

 

[Devo182]

But they also realize this is not the final ranking…

If this were a FB group, I wouldn't be shocked whatsoever.

The fact that this is the RF has me embarrassed the seeding and everything else has to be explained.

Think we need to kick some folks back to the FF or at least put them in FF timeout

Texas beats A&M, then loses to GA, do we jump them or do they just switch spots?

Switch.

This committee is garbage 🗑

What was your expectation going into tonight? We'd jump UGA after beating UTEP?

This is a great jump for us. The only risk/reward that even existed was potentially IU being left ahead of us and that notion was clearly put to bed.

This was good news in case you didn't notice. Even moreso for the weirdos that thought we'd for sure be out with 2 losses just a couple of weeks ago

2016. Butch. Sugar Bowl on the line. Still haven't recovered.

Could have just stopped with Butch

Toledo is gonna lose to Akron.

 

[Devo182]

I will say, it's kinda trending we host Texas in round 1

If UGA can pummel them, I could certainly see it. We need one of the teams to dominate in Atlanta.

Worst-case is a close game imo.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Toledo is gonna lose to Akron.

Does that help us?

Can't believe Bama loses by 3 touchdowns to a 5-5 team, earning their 3rd loss, and they still land at 14 with a chance to make the playoff.

It that had happened to the Vols we would've dropped to 20.

I mean, let’s be honest… the Vols only won by 10 in Norman, which is basically the same as losing by 30. So, really, when you think about it, that was a darn good performance by Bama on Saturday.

-the Committee, probably

 

[Devo182]

Alabama better be praying about 3 teams ahead of them lose.

If USCjr beat Clemson in a really close game and SMU got pummeled by Miami in the ACC championship, things could get really interesting.

USCjr and Bama would be praying they get the nod, and one of them could.

Ofc an ND or PSU loss would be greatly beneficial too, idk if enough but maybe.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Does that help us?

No. It hurts Toledo's chances though.

 

[drylo]

I don’t think it’s “having faith in the committee.” It’s common sense, IMO. If Tennessee wins, you aren’t getting dropped 4 spots and out of the playoff during championship week for not playing. If we were the last team in, or even the next to last team in, I think people would have rightful concerns. But right now we’re 1 spot away from hosting. We’re comfortably in the field. They aren’t dropping us 4 spots if we just take care of business.

Don’t test them, Mookie.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lady Vols go over 100 again
102-50

 

[Weezer]

It baffles me that 3-loss Bama still has an outside shot of making it.

 

[VolInDayton]

Does that help us?

As a Miami alumni, yes it helps me. Mostly because I don't like Toledo.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

 

[vol4eva]

Lady Vols got to be a top 25 team right?

 

[VolInDayton]

It baffles me that 3-loss Bama still has an outside shot of making it.

It's about time they stop getting the benefit of the doubt.
