Isn't this McCords last year? Is their replacement supposed to be good?

Not sure on McCord, but considering all these QBs are getting 6 years who knows. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back.

How humiliating for them if we end up with 20K in their place. I'm sure they have a politician lined up to make it illegal for us to buy tickets from them.

They are getting one of Kaidon Salter's visits.

These OSU guys are so dismissive of us. It is actually annoying. Picking all our flaws apart in UGA game. Doing like most pundits and under crediting the impact our defense has on other teams. They act like they are already better than UGA and Bama and us.

No way you can actually take these guys serious.

I am starting to think that this whole 12 team playoff was botched on purpose to sell the idea of a 16 team playoff. The public "consensus" now is the committee is terrible, byes are bad and seeding process sucks. The outcome will be a 16 team play off (no byes) with conference champs(not automatically top seeds) in and teams place according to their position at the end of the season (tie the committees hands).
I believe that it will be a process similar to the one basketball uses.

Also ex Texas A&M QB is a possibility. Connor Wiegman

I don't at all. But reading the room on their fanbases - they don't know it ain't grandma knocking on the door.

Believe McCord tries his hand at a NFL roster next year.

anyone not winning 10 games in acc should be sacked

16-team playoff will happen once CFB inevitably splits into two super conferences.

Super SEC will be 36 teams
Super Big Ten will be 36 teams

4 divisions of 9 teams based on geographic proximity and maintaining rivalries (as much as possible) in each conference, so 8 divisions total

12-game schedule, you play 8 your divisional games, 2 conference non-divisional games, and 2 OOC games

No conference championship games. Winner of each division punches a playoff ticket, 8 wild card teams also advance (highest rated teams that didn't win their divisions)

Seeding occurs after all teams are in based on W/L record and SoS.

How did he do this year at mizzou? Did he even play? That's gotta irk the NIL people, paid him 5* money for a whole year only to have him bounce haha

It looks like he's headed to Houston

 

[bluegrasser]

I have joined the waiting room on Ticketmaster for tickets. I would recommend that to everyone.

Can you explain this? Is this some better option than going to some other random vendor and just selecting a ticket?

 

[Vols410]

Already committed to Houston.

probably drafting a bill now to make playing Rocky Top a felony.

strong NIL potential......

It should be the process. Said it long ago. March Madness is the ultimate tournament playoffs. The primary parameters for consideration are known preseason. It will always be somewhat subjective on seeding, but it is the best version out there IMO.

The Mullens in Vegas. Yikes.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Syracuse game a little harder than when announced. Better have our pass rush figured out(fingers crossed Ross is ready). Regardless, Vols win by 20+

On the flip side their defense was pathetic

I believe that we are heading to something like that, a model very similar to the NFL. Regional divisions would do away with the craziness of stuff like a Stanford Pitt conference game and foster and strengthen neighborhood rivalries.
And I think you will be right about no conference championship games, they are dead regardless, and the added playoff games would offset the revenue lost.
