They're keeping us with bama no matter what

Switch us with UGA. Put us in Pod A

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So no longer would we always play the weak teams of Mizzou, KY, and SC.

Imagine a TN schedule that looks like this:

Bama
Auburn
Vandy
Florida
GA
LSU
A&M
Ok
Texas

That's what y'all want?

I would just laugh.

Also SEC Media day was dominated by discussion about OU & Texas...something else to think about.

Absolutly loved that the story broke as Jimbo took the podium.....Classic

1-8 (best team in Tennessee..besides Memphis)

They will protect bama at all costs. They'll never play a tough schedule with that format. they will keep them from having to play GA, Florida, and LSU in the same year for example. But us, they will screw us if they can. We'll never have an easier schedule with a format like that.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

don’t sing it, bring it????
What a d-bag..

Surprised he didn't say "That's why you come to App State..."

I think what I admire most about coach Heupel, and he may flame out majorly. May end up worse than Dooley or Pruitt, but he's at least genuine and himself.

We HAVE to win now to prepare for this ********. I would say Heupel's job just got harder, but hopefully our team is built up by that point.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

The easiest schedule in that format would be:

Bama
Auburn
Vandy
SC
KY
Mizzou
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Ms State

But that will never happen. It probably won't happen the other way either, but they will mix them up. So we can be sure that we're playing a schedule with at least 4-5 teams of the top teams in the country. We'll play AU, Bama, and then 1 of GA/Fl, one of TX/OU, one of LSU/ A&M every single year.

So a realistic schedule is probably

Bama
AU
Vandy
GA
SC
LSU
MSU
Ark
OU

It just got tougher for us to get back

Have to. If this happens, and Heup is not the guy, we're finished

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Me also. Love it there. @Vols4us is there too.

I like it here. I'm on the Blount County side.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

If Bama and Auburn move to the East, we will never see any type of championship again in football.

Imagine playing Bama, UGA, FL, Auburn, etc. every year, then potentially add one or two of OU,Texas, LSU, A&M on the schedule as our West opp.

Undefeated seasons will be a thing of the past for pretty much every team in the conference.

 

[Weezer]

They're keeping us with bama no matter what

This is all what if, not saying I want it to happen, but I'd divide the pods differently for geography.

Pod A: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, South Carolina
Pod B: Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama
Pod C: LSU, Ole Miss, Miss St, Arkansas
Pod D: TAMU, Mizzou, Texas, Oklahoma

If this expansion happens it can't until after 2025 because that's when their deal with B12 expires. Hopefully we will be competitive by then.

See how they put 2 if the best teams in the same one? Tennessee is not considered one of the best.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lord, I hope they don't do any sort of stupid 4 team pods.

I don't want to hear any complaining about losses from those wanting competitive games.

 

[SweetasSoda]

The important issue....

[Weezer]

Part of it is keeping certain rivalries alive, but they're discounting other rivalries at the same time.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

It would be a disaster for our rebuild to add Oklahoma and Texas, but it will make the conference and the university a lot of money so we’ll go along.

 

[captainfalcon777]

What if Tennessee moved to the ACC

Are we really that scared? Cmon now, such a loser’s mentality. We won’t be down forever people.

[engineerVOL]

Playing devils advocate, but we haven't seen any of these QB's run this offense. How does anyone know what Mauer can do?CJH wanted him at UCF for a reason.......
Spring Game doesn't mean squat.

Spring Games and spring practice don’t mean much at all as far as the pecking order.
