Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Tennessee plays Tennessee -Martin today at 4;00 p.m. on ESPN+ or the SEC Network+ same **** ..

You're not this dense man.

The only reason Texas and Georgia will be in Atlanta is because in the tie breaker it's based on winning % of opponents. And because of Conference Record being the only thing that matters if A&M beats Texas they'd go to Atlanta even with us having a better record.

You're looking at it through too small of a lens.
If every team played one extra conference game half would have an extra loss.
If Team A is set to host, and loses their conference champ game, and Team B is sitting at home.
It's not fair to reward B for doing nothing.

But it's fair to reward Team A for losing?

Haaaaaa!…such ********. mean while we’re hanging on for dear life after last weeks 500 upsets

Why is she so hard on Bama's nuts!? She an alumni? Banging a coach, admin, booster or player? Damn, give it up Heather!

Edit: Indiana grad. Why the hell is she shilling for the Gumps so hard? If they do get in, I almost hope it comes at Indiana's expense.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That’s impossible to happen there will 100% be movement after conference champ week. Just like if BSU loses to UNLV they’ll be completely dropped from rankings.

That's not fair tho.
What have those teams sitting at home done to earn a jump? You can't punish teams for playing an extra game.

Well at least SEC Network + is included with any TV provider that offers SEC Network. Also tickets are as low as $2, so a good game to just go watch in person!

 

[Vols4us]

Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be hard to sell a 3 loss non conference champ. Especially with the potential to have a few 2 loss teams on the outside looking in.

Don't think an Ole Miss or Bama would jump Georgia for losing in Atlanta...but I could see Clemson getting into the top 12 because of it if they beat South Carolina.

The important thing is we're in the best spot we can be. Win our game and we're in, the rest is out of our control

Yup.

Which is the ONLY thing I care about.

 

[DD4ME]

Well I will just be a little biatch, I can't drink my coffee without cream and sugar. The flavored creamers.

Sugar britches?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Youre not rewarding them for losing. Youre just not punishing them for an extra game.
If you want movement beyond the last week just match everyone up randomly with an extra game.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

But I'm not going to clutter the thread. We will just agree to disagree.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Keeping them in the top 12 is fine, letting them lose and then host a playoff game is 100% a reward.

When I go home to Tennessee, I drink my bean juice like it was done in the Bible. In Texas, it’s medium roast Keurig brew and zero sugar creamer. I’ll apologize in my obituary.

 

[DD4ME]

My goodness man, grow a set. Drink coffee like whiskey. Straight!

It took me a long while to go from hating coffee to drinking it with cream and sugar because it was provided free at work, to enjoying drinking dark straight coffee I brew and pay for myself.

A cynic might say your tolerance for the bitterness of life adapts us to embracing that angry cup of Joe.

An optimist might say we no longer need boosted sweeteners to see the joys in simple things when we adjust our perspectives.

I like to brew mine with a half an inch of water...

 

[NMVol]

Yeah, UGA either goes to the top4, or they drop a spot or two. So no way we see them unless it's in Knoxville and I don't think that will happen in the end.

aTm winning this weekend and losing next would drop tx.. Just not sure how far...

Would really like it off Penn St or ND lost.. Or SMU or Miami.

Gotta be careful tho, to much chaos opens the door for Bama, USCe or Ole miss to back door in.

So much to still play out. Hard to project outcomes, even more difficult is how the committee deals with more chaos...

Just. Beat. Vandy. GBO

Give Sampson the rock!

I have always just preferred my coffee straight black and piping hot. My wife loves all the sugar free flavored creamers and I have tried a few on occasion but not my thing

 

[DD4ME]

 

[gainesvol82]

sounds like it was unwanted.

Yep, you only send those upon request. I mean that's D-pic etiquette 101. Unless you're like my teenage son and his guy friends that jokingly send each other pics of one gotten online.

 

[engineerVOL]

The guy should have casually walked off. One way to get attention: *start running* in a sea of people standing around.

Errybody’s got a process and have to answer to a higher power.

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

When did you go there?

She’s just the female Danny Kannell….looking for clicks to be relevant

 

[jave36]

Toledo is gonna lose to Akron.

Can't believe they didn't run it twice from the 1 foot line.

 

[DD4ME]

Mission focused

 

[butchna]

Backed him from the beginning, mostly due to the dregs after Pearl. Needed him to bring us back to basic competence and make the program attractive to an eventual high end coach. He blew that projection cap out of the water and is the dean of UT men’s basketball HC’s historically imo.
