Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Agree 4&4 for us and the Big10
As it stands right now the SEC is only getting 3. And if it's tx v UGA in ATL, they're both getting in.

If aTm wins the SEC that would get 4 in.

If the acc has some carnage and it goes back to a1 big league, that could open the door for USCe or Bama.

Ther only way the big 10 doesn't get 4 is if Purdue were to beat IU or if Maryland best PSU..

And of course if we lost to vandy... USCe and Bama would probably be in play. That USCe/Clemson game next week is big. USCw/ND... If ND loses..

Longer story short.. Next week offers opportunities for more chaos...

Chaos would be Tech beating UGA and TAMU beating Texas. SECCG would be between 2 9-3 teams and loser trying to argue they deserve a shot with 4 losses

You'd have to ask.coach. Like I said, not interested in debating the merit of the strategy for that gams because there's no way to know what staying aggressive would have yielded. Just saying it seemed to have lingering effects.
You can’t just ignore the reason why we did it. We did it for a good reason…
 
We're going into the last game of the regular season firmly in control of our own destiny as it pertains to a playoff spot. A few breaks and we could also be playing to host. Not sure we could've asked for much more (though I did like the idea of making it to Atlanta with a chance to win the SEC).

Vanderbilt won't be a cakewalk, but as of now, I am unrustled. We survived the blow Arkansas landed and there's not going to be that "what if?" anymore. Beat Vandy and you're in. Lose, and you didn't really deserve to be in anyway.

Hope we go into Neyland West loose and ready to go punch our ticket.
 
Ton of upside with the Bama upset. Only offset is it reinvigorates Sooner fan myths about their program. “We beat Bama!” rings louder in their noggins than “SC ate our lunch in our cafeteria and made us pay for it!”
 
Whoever loses in SEC championship game will be seeded behind us I believe. I think once the dust settles the committee will look at losses, matchups, & $$$

A playoff game in Neyland for the first round will be the highest rated game. Zero doubt in my mind.
