Or if they just seeded this according to their rankings and didn't hand BSU and Arizona St byes.

You get inclusion with the automatic bids, which is better for the health of the sport and then you still seed them based on who you think is strongest.

I didn't say not to give auto bids to conf champs...just no byes and seed it with common sense.

Move it to 16...seed it with common sense, and let the underdogs get their chance to prove they belong in the 1st round, they will either get squashed or win suprisingly and move on.

And then you get to watch all the really good teams go at it like Mortal Combat...just blood and guts everywhere.

I’m in but that’s too simple and way too much common sense for the NCAA McGill. That’s what the lower divisions have done for years and it’s great. I still think the biggest issue is the Commissioner’s like Sankey with the Napoleon complex who have no desire to do what’s best for all of college football. I have always wanted a 16 team playoff but it just made too much sense.

If the team tonight plays with even half of the swagger that the fan base has shown the past 2 weeks.. then man… Vols by fiddy 🍊

Swagger or not, one thing we've seen is the home and more talented team is having no problem in these playoffs so far. These home games are a crazy big advantage.

Not that we're Indiana or SMU, but nor are ND/PSU OSU talent either.

Think we need just need to keep it close, make our own breaks, take some risks, and let the chips fall where they may. We're 70% to lose, so might as well let it all hang out. Don't be Cignetti and play not to lose.

I think the key tonight is whether Banks stays with trying to pressure with just 4. Saban made a comment that the TN defense has been pretty vanilla since Pilli has been out (dang, I wish we had Pilli). I think it will be a long night if Banks sits back and tries to play coverage. Hopefully he's spent the last 2 weeks working on some stuff.

It's also been said OSU has thrived when the rush comes. They feed off it.

I think we really have to hope 4 can get the job done. If not, we have to be smart and choose our spots. Can't just get desperate and go gung ho either.

That's not what was said when they previewed the game on GameDay. They said the opposite. When their QB was under pressure he made huge mistakes. When he was allowed to sit back in a clean pocket, he thrived, and consistently threw dimes. They had both video and statistics that backed it up.
