Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TN-POSSUM]

A&M

The aggie defense is really good.


Tejas is holding every play.

What is wring with Tamu fans? Their songs are dumb, and make 0 sense. How is this a thing? We are so lucky we dont have any of this dumb crap at TN. 'Chig a room?' Wth?

and yell leaders? I swear they just make **** up as they go.

I think when the dust settles you have the following in order of seeding (not rankings):
Oregon (Big Champ)
UGA (SEC Champ)
Boise State (Whatever the hell they are in Champ)
SMU (ACC Champ)
TX
ND
TN
Penn State
OSU
Indiana
Bama (which is BS, but whatever)
ASU (Big 12 Champ)

Switch Miami with Bama and you got yourself a winner.

Miami is out. They have 0 quality wins and 2 bad losses. I hate Bama and personally think USCjr deserves it over them, but recency bias and the committee’s love affair with Alabama means it’s them.

We want Texas to win out. They won’t be ranked behind us if they go 10-2.

I disagree. Their isn't a metric that would allow them to be ranked ahead of us if they lose tonight. We have the better wins, SOR, and SOS. Their best win would be a 7-5 Michigan team who wasn't good this year.

If you think bc of bias they would, then that's fair bc the human element part of the committee is real.

We are 100% in.

After that, who knows. Too many variables.

I am enjoying the win and watching the chaos.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I knew you and @Weezer were related.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Purdue is gonna win this game…..

I thought they could, but they are not looking very good.

I don’t think Miami losing really helps us.

We need committee to drop OSU below us or to drop PSU below us if they lose to Oregon.

We do not want Penn State to win the B10

It helps us because they’re completely out now. If they had won and lost in the ACC championship they may have still gotten in and not sure where they’d be ranked. Now you have SMU who is ranked below us vs Clemson who will surely be outside the top 15 having to win to go to the playoff.

 

[orangejuice]

I don’t get why these teams get all butt hurt. You lost, own it, if you don’t like it, don’t lose.

 

[peaygolf]

I thought they could, but they are not looking very good.

I took my shot…..oh well.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Nico now 11-2 as a starter and 4-2 away from Neyland.

Unfortunately the ACC winner will get the bye unless it’s Clemson and they drop below ASU in this week’s rankings. If Clemson drops to where they should drop, then you’d have Clemson as the 12-seed and ASU as the 4 seed (assuming Clemson and ASU both win).

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Miami will drop below us but OSU might still be above us.

Trash if they are. OSU doesn’t deserve to be ranked above us. There loss to Michigan is definitely worse than our loss to Arky.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

He's probably the most overrated Power 4 head coach.

Ryan Day says "not so fast, my friend"

 

[orangejuice]

Arch goes in for 1 play, and you would think he won the Super Bowl.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think Miami & Ohio State both could fall behind us, don’t think either falls outside playoffs though.

Question is if Oregon boat races Penn State how far will they fall?

 

[SoilVol]

Trash if they are. OSU doesn’t deserve to be ranked above us. There loss to Michigan is definitely worse than our loss to Arky.

Yes but they have 2 top 10 wins. Now, whether those 2 teams deserve to be top 10 is worth questioning.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Who do we need to win this Texas/A&M game?

I’ve been told from a good source that Texas needs to win.

 

[orangejuice]

Also, the football did not hit the pylon, his arm did. The ball was out of bounds. That shouldn’t be a TD

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

That wasn't a TD
