Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Yall better sack up and root for Dabo. I want Bama in the damn cheez it bowl

I'd rather see 4 SEC teams make the playoffs and advance as far as possible. I'm rooting for Bama to make it in and beat Notre Dame.

 

[knoxvol52]

They haven’t tho. Warde literally said today that SMU could fall behind Bama depending on how they play

Gotta give the Bama fans hope,then jerk the rug out from under their feet..

 

[tnhunter 10]

Anyone have the slightest hope of a fair whistle? Cheating sobs.

The D-line hasn’t caught a fair break with the whistle all season. Pearce and the rest of the crew might as well become pro wrestlers with all the clotheslines they’ve gotten used to.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

What's going to suck the most, is when the CFP committee chairman says "the road team will use referees from their home conference". If that happens, I will drive to Ann Arbor and smack that 'e' off Warde.

I don’t care. Ohio State isn’t as good as this committee or Vegas thinks. I’m not scared of them. Will Howard is trash.

The whole B1G and their AD's and media base except Oregon are

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Positives... We're in.
OSU fans have a bad taste inn their mouths, and hate their coach.

They're nearly a double digit favorite..

Our goal was to get in. Thier goal was to win it all, and end the streak to Michigan.

There's absolutely no pressure on us... So we can just go play...I wonder how tight they'll be, and if we can tighten them just a little...

Long story short... It ain't necessarily a bad draw.

Also, should we win, how cool would it be to see the Vols in the Rose Bowl?

 

[tnvols72]

We did this to ourselves losing to Arkansas.

I said this when we lost

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Radical idea: don’t put sitting ADs on the committee.

This won’t happen, but using the AP poll makes way more sense than having a separate “CFP” ranking. Either that or just do a ranking system equivalent to the NET rankings in basketball. The latter makes the most sense to me.

 

[SoilVol]

"Are college basketball refs blind?"

Well, this one just said Syracuse, the team who's mascot is "Otto the Orange", is wearing gold.

 

[Devo182]

Lmao 9???????? Gtfoh

FPI has them 4 pts better. HFA worth 3...so 7 pts.

I'd take it 9.



Not that I think that's where we end. Even a small PSU loss imo drops them...but then they could well slot in behind OSU. I'd happily play in that valley (we'd be only a ~2 pt dog at PSU by FPI - we're currently ranked slightly better than them).

 

[engineerVOL]

Good grief Gainey

 

[dmwvol12]

Stupid at least in the 1st round.

The system really is terrible. Freaking Boise State getting a first round bye and Tennessee has to travel to Ohio State in the first round. No other organization on the planet could develop a worse system. We could get 10 random middle school students and they would do a better job. NCAA is just a joke.

[InVOLuntary]

The Vols need to get the 3 ball going again.

 

[tnhunter 10]

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

For SAS.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

How long does the Michigan AD remain the head of the committee? Hope his tenure ends soon. I'd like to nominate DW as the next committee chair.

 

[Jack Burton]

As opposed to all the other good precedents they are setting.

They are shady as hell, but if we’re in a championship game in the future we wouldn’t want to be penalized for a loss either.

 

[Jimmy Football]

They are shady as hell, but if we’re in a championship game in the future we wouldn’t want to be penalized for a loss either.

We will be if it happens. You know it.

 

[UTgrad2015]

Crazy that the 2024 Vols end the regular season one spot behind the 2022 team — with a QB playing his first full season as a starter. Impressive stuff from Heupel

 

[GoBigOrange86]

They are shady as hell, but if we’re in a championship game in the future we wouldn’t want to be penalized for a loss either.

Then why play them if they don't make a difference?

Arizona State Alum. Very underrated Pro NFL QB1..

 

[InVOLuntary]

Vols really not playing well but still up double digits.

 

[Jack Burton]

We will be if it happens. You know it.

Yep.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I guess you can interpret this as positive, but sounds more to me like he’s just punting his answer because he knows Georgia isn’t moving.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Vols really not playing well but still up double digits.

And got close to 50.
