Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[mr.checkerboards]

Lots of movement after CCGs……..

This means nothing.

Warde Manuel just said there wouldn't be

 

[MemphisVol3]

Ranking system is flawed, no way can you justify a 9-3 team over a 10-2 team, and dropped a 10-2 team only 4 spots after losing to a 6-6 team

A 6-6 team that they were 3 TD favorites over @ home.

 

[JT3]

These folks really put Bama in

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Clemsux wins, bama is out

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

The only thing that would change for us is who/ where we are playing at..

 

[JCP201]

Got to think UGA losing drops them below us. They’d have 3 losses.

If an extra loss won’t drop them a couple spots, then why even play the championship game?

I would rather play ohio state at their home than Georgia at their home.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I’m as disappointed as anyone else is but let’s just go to OSU and kick their a$$!!

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Would love for that to happen but will have to see it to believe it.

 

[SpringBokVol]

You dont think Georgia will move down if they get beat by texas? We just need one team to move down. If Oregon blows out penn state? There's just a lot that can happen between now and the time this is all set.

No I don’t think the loser of conference championship games will move at all.

I think if the games go chalk then this is the bracket.

 

[BearCat204]

But they've showed their hand multiple times in this process. The only way you can explain what they've done is that it's intentional.

I don't even care at this point because they've shown their cards and we'll have to fight against the scales tipped against us...... It's all we can do.

I honestly believe it came down to wanting to get Alabama in, in order to do that it came down to politics...... Our placement was the bargaining chip


And to those thinking it's going to change...... They just said it won't move the teams that don't play.

He also said teams that ARE playing in the CCGs could move. If Texas beats georgia, they would drop IMO. If people want to be upset and think its set in stone right now, by all means, I just think things could change for us.

 

[kemotoe]

Committee has a B10 bias that is easy to see. They are going to make us go to Ohio State.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Eh, unlikely.

ACC has no effect on our seed.
Big 12 has no effect on our seed.

SEC Championship:
- Georgia wins- Texas would just take Georgia's spot in the current bracket. No change for us.
-Texas wins- We either play Georgia at home or (more likely) on the road.

B10:
-Pedo wins- Oregon probably goes to 5. No change for us.
- Oregon wins- Probably the number one thing to root for is Oregon winning big. Penn State has played nobody. If they get blown out, small chance they drop and we play them at home or (more likely) on the road.

I feel like Penn State losing bad will drop them behind Ohio State (who beat them) so that would shift everyone else up 1 spot.

We’re 9 right now and I honestly think someone ahead of us will be sliding behind us with a loss Saturday.

 

[JCVol00]

F it, we ride. Let’s beat the espn big10 darlings at their place

 

[KB5252]

Just need one to lose. But not just lose, lose big (20 points or more).
Would also help for SMU to beat Clemson.

Unless I misunderstood based on what he just said we aren't moving, our "data points" are locked in as far as their concerned.

Something odd to me though, why have first two out if its locked in anyway?

 

[yoyoyoyo]

Warde Manuel just said there wouldn't be

In relation to each other but conference championship game participants can move. We could move up but not overtake Ohio State if Georgia for example lost and fell below both of us.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Really needed Notre Dame to lose last weekend

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Clemson wins, what about SMU? Do they drop SMU out for Bama?

 

[UTvol1fn]

I think we match up really well against Ohio State.

Weather could be a factor.

I think our defense dominates.

Offense will do enough.

Actually, not sure Ohio state does well with offenses quite like ours.

Should be a good game for us.

We are just in a difficult draw - having to play no. 1 sucks. Sucks to be on that path

Just win baby!

We can burn OSUs secondary, they are bang average.

 

[Ace]

CFP committee is a joke. Alabama has no business in the playoffs. Bama, Ole Miss and SCjr should not be considered at all.

 

[JT3]

Ohio St. only falling 4 spots is hilarious.

 

[UTSuave’]

Yeah well that’s an L

I actually like us against Ohio st..they’re a run heavy team which is our strength..my concern would definitely be the weather and I think we will see that play a major factor…CFP is pushed by money so I’m surprised it’s not in Knoxville that is prime time money…crazy work honestly but we’re Tennessee so..

 

[KB5252]

He also said teams that ARE playing in the CCGs could move. If Texas beats georgia, they would drop IMO. If people want to be upset and think its set in stone right now, by all means, I just think things could change for us.

Watch them just flip the teams if there are upsets in championship games.

 

[knoxvol52]

They will probably just flip-flop conference championship winners and losers in seedings of Big Ten and SEC outcomes. Only 2 games I believe will factor in is SMU vs Clemson and UNLV vs Boise State.

Winners of ASU and Iowa State guaranteed a spot with these rankings today.

 

[Volnukem]

I think we can only move down

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

bama bias is bonkers

screw em & the buckeyes and michigan, georgia, sanduskys, and texas too
