Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JT3]

Bailey and Eason both went thru Senior Day activies. Both can still come back next year. Hope we push for them both to return.

Wouldn't mind it! Don't blame them if they don't want to play a 6th season though

Eason has been great all year I think he's a draft pick. Bailey is a training camp practice squad guy I think. Maybe we keep him.

Georgia is the best team in the SEC.
Followed by Texas and Tennessee.
Then Bama, Ole Miss, and A&M.

I'd put SC in that last group.

Be me

Get pretty tired around 8:30 and decide to turn in

Wake up in the middle of the night to see 40 pages of unread posts

Catch up on everything that happened

The fact that Jalen Milroe got more Heisman talk than Dylan Sampson is an absolute disgrace.

Very good post.

These are the narratives that Knoxville/Vol media should be pushing; and, I'm not talking about 1 or 2 tweets, maybe an article...every single writer in that town or close by should be in harmony shouting it, along with calling out those who pushed and pushed: "bad loss, Arkansas...Oklahoma, Florida, Bama wins, no big deal".

You look sick. You should see a doctor.

Instead...

KNS grasping at straws to twist an absolutely great day for its supposed home team into a snipe.

Time to settle this

Woke up at 8 this morning to messages from family and friends about the chaos last night. Made up for the awful luck I had at the MWR Bingo night.

Great day for Vols fans yesterday with the win and the losses by other SEC teams.

I understand that someone doesn't like the Heather Dinich quotes but last night on Sportscenter she dropped her projected field come Tuesday Night.

Dinich as of now has Tennessee at #9 but that will change with a win next week, probably tops out at #7 or no worse than #8 imo.

Dinich also had Indiana still in the CFP at #11 the losses by all Mississippi,TAMU and Alabama kept the Hoosiers in the Playoffs in her opinion.

SMU and Miami both are in her bracket Miami at #3 as conference champions and SMU at #10 that could change next week or after conference Championship game.

Alabama rolls in as the first team out due to the fact that the Big 12 Champion will get the #12 spot right now as 5th highest conference champions. Arizona State is in that spot.

Boise State still hanging onto the #4 spot and last bye in 1st round.

In the end is the big debate over putting a 3 loss SEC team in over a 2 loss team

 

[knoxvol52]

Handwringing has begun over David Sanders going to visit Ohio State again, maybe the guy just doing a final I want to be sure trip.


Still think he stays with the Orange&White clad Vols in the end.

RIP Chuck Woollery. My all-time favorite game show host. Classy person and wonderful overall guy.

Forgot all about Woolery being host of Wheel of Fortune before Sajak. Sajak hosted the show so long it seemed like Pat and Vanna were born on the show..

Now…next week. I become a Rambling Wreck fan and a Purdue fan.

I want Indiana in now. One less SEC team. You know Bama will drop to 13, and will be in prime position to grab a spot if chaos happens next weekend. I do not want them in and don’t want to see them in the 1st round.

Nbc’s prejections….View attachment 700248

I want IU, ND or Penn St 1st round.

Exactly, Tennessee fans should want the path of least resistance.

ND and UGA need to be flipped.

Need to split up the SEC teams.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Must take care of Vandy.

Can’t have all this happen and then crap our pants.

This x 1000000%!!! I hope we see the best version of this team next Saturday right in time for the playoffs! Come out focused and crisp. Have an AGGRESSIVE gameplan. Let Nico run the zone read and keep the ball, and be active in the run game. Be creative on offense. Call an attacking game on defense! Tim Banks, please wake up from your slumber and attack! Get a fair whistle hopefully and beat the crap out of Vandy!

 

[knoxvol52]

Alabama has 2 losses to UNRANKED teams that they were favored by 21+ over. Now that's a playoff team if I've ever seen one.

 

[orangejuice]

I don’t see them putting UT @ UGA in rd 1. I feel like they will try to avoid b10vb10 and SEC v SEC in rd1. Especially seems bad to repeat a game played just a few weeks earlier.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Ideal scenario:

Beat Vandy
Texas beats A&M
Texas beats UGA in SECC game

We finish 3rd in the SEC, rest up, be the best 2-loss SEC team, and likely host.

Would love to land in that 6 seed spot. That would be ideal.
