Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TrippieRedd]

Indiana can't jump us or Ohio State as none of those teams played. Warde Manuel was clear about this. SMU lost, they won't jump us. No clue how you think the committee will move us from 7th (9-seed) on the cusp of hosting to the last team in lol

Off the wall, committee. Off the wall, Trippie.

Don’t know why you think it’s any different this week. Last week they wanted to **** everyone by keeping Bama when they definitely didn’t deserve it.

because they deliberately stated some of these things wont happen. He actually used Tennessee and Indiana has an example saying Indiana can't pass Tennessee now

That’s fine if it happens that way. Just don’t be surprised if they want to do some ****ery

“You shan’t lose to Vanderbilt and compete for a College Football Title” is in the Constitution.

Yeah, but that’s in the section that applies only to teams not from Tuscaloosa. You have to read carefully — common mistake to think that it applies to everyone.

 

[rikberry31]

You really think Bama is in and SMU is out?

SMU is out, they suck and no one will watch them. So does Clemson but that can’t be helped.

 

[rikberry31]

Committee was quoted saying schools that didn’t play won’t jump each other.

Yeah, I think you can trust that. They’re gonna do whatever the freak they want/are told.

Bama AD crying now

Or you could just

The fact Clemson gets a bye is a travesty. Whoever came up with the auto bid nonsense can kick rocks.

They probably won’t get a bye. Boise and Arizona State are likely to be ranked higher.

Auto bids are still terrible though

Give me Penn State, I feel better abt that game than I would osu

PSU at home, will be not much different for us. Introduce any foreign crowd, greater than a HS stadium size (larger than Vandy), with greater than 75% Vols fans. I dunno.

Will we get a fair whistle? Will we forget to play defense? Will OL continue rolling Frosty's great nephew down the proverbial hill?

two teams are quite similar, trying to be objective. Obvs we played SEC schedule. All things being equal:

-They played ranked teams, and lost.
- Play in front of 100K
- Have a pro TE, 3K passer, and throw ball around.
-Want to play ball control
- Defense is very good
- Penalized 45 yards pg
- Special teams isn't great
- Have turned ball over

Have they played our speed? Can we generate turnovers? will our penn state dc be able to stop their scheme?



Im skeptical. But i've been skeptical all year, and we're 10-2.

 

[Vols410]

I want OSU. Reliant on the run game but our DL can shut it down. OL is struggling and hurt and Howard has struggled under pressure. I think they’ll struggle with our pace since they’ve been trying to establish their power identity all year. Add to all of that us figuring out the offense down the stretch, OSU having never seen Heup’s offense, and the culture things that have to be happening with all the drama around Michigan, and I think we can go in there and beat them soundly.

Guarantee? Absolutely not. But that could be a massive statement win.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Bama has to be out, no way you drop SMU behind them after that game!

1 Oregon
2 Georgia
3 Boise
4 Arizona State
5 Penn State
6 Texas
7 ND
8 OSU
9 Vols
10 Indiana
11 Clemson/SMU
12 SMU/Clemson

This looks about right to me..No Bama hopefully because they don’t deserve to be in!!

I guess I’m ready to eat the steaming pile of shvt served by the CFP committee if Warde hasn’t eaten everything already.

Bartoo has been right every week.

We'd drop kick State Penn

MARLER: Georgia reminds Texas of long road to the top | LouisianaSports.net

By Chris Marler ATLANTA -- Georgia and Texas went to Atlanta to answer some questions. Was Texas going to run through the SEC in their first year in the league? Was Georgia going to once again fall short in the same building that’s haunted them for years? Who was going to win the conference and

Not a Georgia fan in the least but this is the truth when comparing Texas and Georgia

It seems everyone is in agreement, the auto bye for conference champs needs to go.

100 percent

'burn it'

 

[Revived2002]

I think any game we play on the road will be chaotic and go down to the last play

I’m here for it though!

Happy Sunday

December 8, 2024: When you become careless and lose the ground you have gained, stop and evaluate how and where you got off, and strengthen your resolve to achieve again what you had. It is not too late to get back to where you were, But it will take self-discipline. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

We won’t host because the Oregon defense couldn’t tackle anyone who weighs over 150 pounds.
If they could have done so, they win by 4 touchdowns and Pedophile State University (enablers) would fall behind us just like Jerry Sandusky got behind his victims while Paterno and the PSU admin wore blinders and muzzles. Yes, I’m still angry over it. My family has experienced abuse at the hands of predators and those that remain silent are just as culpable. Hate me if you want to for speaking truth.

SMU is out, they suck and no one will watch them. So does Clemson but that can’t be helped.

Totally opposite, I believe individuals will watch SMU so they can say "I told you so" if SMU gets defeated by a large margin.

When you're saying No One will watch you're speaking for the whole Country. As Finebaum said it doesn't matter who plays individuals that love Sports are going to watch the games no matter which teams are competing..

I will watch, I don't care if it's Carson-Newman vs Grand Valley State..
