That's weird to look at, knowing what happened there last Saturday.

 

[jsteed]

JMO but if they would have put the stupid little flag thing up earlier or if you could have seen the ref through the flag there would be a lot less controversy.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Clemson being in the mix is infuriating. At least OSU and Michigan play/cannibalize each other.

They don’t even have one conference road game left

Bunch of “Little Man Syndrome” in Alabama today…looking for reasons to feel offended or slighted.

Game Day should be stating facts. A 1-loss Bama is down the pecking order from some of these other schools.

Are those letters bigger than the originals? They look massive.

What happened there last Saturday??

Actually, I would like to see the Tennessee players helping the UTM players up after every play. Being the ultimate good sports. After all, it’s like playing your little cousin. You still want to win, but you don’t want to be mean to them…

You're allowed to be mean to family because they have to forgive you.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Dude just stuttered his way through saying what it took Bama to lose “17 penalties, muffed punt, ridiculous pass interference call, mismanaged clock”

So many excuses

Maybe he could stutter his way through saying what it took for Bama to even be in the game: missing starters in the defensive backfield, a bungled QB-RB exchange, a ridiculous DPI that was clearly OPI. I mean we could play this game all day.

One stat matters: 52-49.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Bunch of “Little Man Syndrome” in this thread today…looking for reasons to feel offended or slighted.

Game Day is simply stating facts. A 1-loss TN is down the pecking order from some of these other schools. But there is still definitely a path should we stumble.

Instead of looking for reasons to be ticked, I’m just enjoying the fact that we are all over College Game Day. What a year we are having!

That's not it. Nobody else has played the schedule we've played this year. We've got 4 top 25 wins and that is unmatched by any other team. I don't think another school is playing 2 legit top 3 teams, in season, this year either. We're the #1 seed and should be respected, because UT has earned it. This doesn't need to be like the 1997 Heisman award, media biased and media driven away from UT.

They pick them to make money though. Bear doesn't. So upsets are amongst the picks to makxomize money.

Experts are trying to maximize money, of course, and they may find upsets they like but going ham on Moneyline upsets are how you lose money in betting. It’s more about finding which lines they see the most value and juice in. Betting that team x is going to cover against team y because you think the line is too high is a safer and more logical bet than betting that you think team x is going to straight up upset team y. So unless experts just absolutely love the matchup and upset potential they aren’t betting as many upset Moneyline as common bettors, in my opinion. This is what bear does as well.

Again, I don’t like the guy, there’s much better bettors out there, but he’s also better than the common bettor. I don’t even want to know what my average is

 

[butchna]

Hard to pick between that and getting in FG range in 13 seconds to beat bama.

Both are reminiscent of Tee Martin converting against Syracuse that one special season.

I'm in Florida so I cant bet but I'm about 70% when I enter Tennessee. Lol. I do about 10 bets a trip in individual bets. Parlays are 0fer by one every time.

 

[Vols4us]

Win each game, one game at a time. Do it the Heup way. It takes care of itself.

Could care less what a bunch of talking heads say. Many said we would lose to Pitt, then UF, then LSU, then Bama, now UK, next UGA - just hoping to be right once to act like they knew it would happen all along. Ready to jump on the "overrated" bandwagon.

just like we know they will do all they can to screw HH out of the Heisman. Stroud has played nobody. He doesn't go against the SEC week in and out.

They can all kiss my Big Orange arse. Just win.

 

[Jack Burton]

We just have to keep winning. Can’t worry about what happens in a loss.

 

[gordonr24]

Sadly, Clemson is this year’s Notre Dame. Solid team but a product of a soft schedule. They’ll finish undefeated and get a 3 seed and get walloped by Ohio St in the semis.

 

[UTMVol76]

I agree on the peeps looking for a reason to feel offended.

I do not agree that a 1-loss UT is very far down a list at all tho (not watching Gameday so missed the convo). Obv all that depends on how things shake out. Best resumé in the country and it’s not close.

Absolutely correct here. If our only loss is to an undefeated #1 defending champ Georgia, while having around 6 ranked wins, then yeah, we’re in the conversation.

Also, what hasn’t been mentioned I don’t think is that Herbie reluctantly (for the crowd) said a 1 loss Oregon is in.

 

[UTMVol76]

We just have to keep winning. Can’t worry about what happens in a loss.

And honestly, we shouldn’t be upset at all with a loss. House money, no one expected anything NEARLY like this!

Clemson will lose at ND next week. Hell...Syracuse always plays them close also.

Lol 1st Q boys have only let me down twice I think, maybe 3 times. But I’ve bet about a dozen times on that line so it’s pretty successful. I love small bet / high return parlays because it makes the games fun.. but I know parlays are the quickest way to lose money too. It’s always one damn game that blows it lol.

 

[jakez4ut]

Just me or College Gameday throwing an unexpectedly high amount of shade at us after last weekend? Have heard that final PI call called “terrible” multiple times, dismissing our ability to get to the playoffs, etc

None of it matters. To quote CJH, "it's all about us and what we do". We win, we stay in. We lose... Whatever... This has still been fun as hell, and I'll enjoy whatever we get for the post season.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Not at all upset with a loss. Upset the media desperately wants us to not be in the conversation with a loss but will uplift every other team as usual. Hopefully the team takes this as a challenge to prove them wrong every week.

They scared. Just like with Peyton's hypesman theft. They're trying to keep the Vols down. Won't work imo.

Exactly. I just love this team. They have made me happier and prouder of the program than I have felt in 20 years. What a gold mine with White and Heup, Barnes and Voltello. To have Randy and Donde leading the university to go with them and all of our coaches in most all of our sports. Just a glorious time to be a Vol.
