Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MemphisVol3]

Nightmare scenario coming into play….. Say TAMU beats Texas tonight and then wins next week against UGA. Clemson beats SMU in ACC championship…. You now have 2 conference champs at 10-3. SMU, UGA would be in the playoff, I don’t think Clemson or TAMU get in with 4 losses. Now you have a ton of 2 loss teams after the other bids. So you have..
5 auto bids.
ND 1 loss
Indiana 1 loss
PSU/Oregon loser
UGA
SMU…

That leaves 2 spots for 4 2 loss teams
Tennessee, Texas, Miami, OSU.

Scary proposition here

Indiana is ranked below Tennessee. They won’t jump us. I think Notre Dame will be the 5-seed. If SMU loses in the ACC ship, they will be out. UGA is pretty much in no matter what, they’re just playing for seeding. If the win the SEC ship, they get a bye, if they don’t, they’re likely in the #10-12 spots.

Snow in the Indiana game is wild. Nobody wants to play in that **** hole

Indiana isn’t going to be hosting. Resume not good enough and the stadium is too small compared to other contenders.

They’ll be playing in Knoxville or another SEC school, IMO.

 

[UTK]

We may be hosting Ohio St.

Bring em on

 

[OrangeVolMan]

can we get some of them Syracuse receivers?

Miami is a terrible defensive team. Our WRs would eat Miami alive.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Need to pull for Oregon to beat Penn State. I want to host Franklin’s ass.

Penn St is out with an L.

Purdue is gonna win this game…..

 

[TrippieRedd]

Penn St and Indiana are dream matchups first round.

Matchup really well with both.

 

[Ten_Titans]

We may be hosting Ohio St.

With David Sanders in attendance like divorce court.

SMU will make it still if they lose. I’d be dumb to send them packing for losing an extra game they had no choice but to play.

I know they aren’t hosting. Just making a comment at how laughable that would have been the way it was looking a couple weeks back.

Did you see CoMo earlier today?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Enjoy your offseason Miami.

I don't think we can get Penn State. They would have to lose to Oregon by 40 to drop below 6 IMO.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Did you see CoMo earlier today?

I didn’t but I can imagine. Gets cold as balls there too.

Man you just never know at this point. They already said they won’t penalize championship game losers, in your scenario they do SMU and don’t UGA…

Personally I think we should be in but there’s a scenario where they have to pick UT over other big schools

We are in comfortably. Won in style today too. Stop.

 

[VolGee4]

I really think they’re gonna screw us too.

OSUs losses are “better”. Their quality win is “better”

Prepare to rage.

Except the Big 10 stinks.

SMU is in no matter what

 

[SSVol]

Two weeks ago, erbody was scared UT would go 10-2 and be left out of the CFP…..

Now, Vols are probably hosting a game.

Funny how things don’t always go “chalk”

I tried to explain to my millennial son (who was trashing boomers at that moment) that the big advantage of age was simply context. We've seen things before. We certainly aren't always right, experience doesn't make you infallible, but experience does give you the bigger picture. It's rarely as good as you hope or as bad as you fear.

Things going well? Enjoy...now...and appreciate it...cause things change.

Things not going well? Pause...reflect...don't panic...cause things change.

So when things are going poorly in the first quarter of the playoff game we shouldn't be hosting...give it a minute.

Uga drops below us, clemsux and a&m will be top 4 seeds. We will be the 6 or 7 seed. Nd will probably get the 5 seed.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I don't think there is any way they would keep OSU in the top 8 after dropping a game as a three TD favorite.

They need to worry about making the tournament at all.

A bigger concern is who we end up playing in Neyland. You are going to have slaw like Indiana in those bottom four seeds. Then you will have 1 or 2 extremely talented teams like Bama or Ohio State or Miami.

The CFP chairman needs to do the right thing and ban tOSU from the playoffs for pepper spraying Michigan's student athletes.

At the very least, Warde Manuel can not, in good conscience, let the Buckeys host a playoff game. Columbus is way too dangerous for opposing teams and fans.

@Enki_Amenra tweet it, bro

 

[JCP201]

Penn St is out with an L.

Oregon is much easier to root for than Penn State.

 

[mrMet]

I want to host Franklin’s ass.

You need Jesus

 

[TheBigOne10]

Assuming SMU is in no matter what (should be) I may have to pull for Clemson to eliminate any hope for Alabama

UT is a lock to get in. They just had to win today.
