There is an argument that LSU winning the sec championship strengthens our schedule and they won’t jump us as long as we win out.

Fake news. Disinformation. Lies. Betting the spread is not betting against Tennessee. That’s like saying betting the over/under is like betting against Tennessee.

You doubted Tennessee would cover, but then they did. Is that better?

Your continuous attempts to spin betting the spread as some sacrilegious act will continue to fall on deaf ears.

You can unpack a lot with this. USC hasn’t beaten anyone yet. Oregon State is their best win at 23 now, and they still have to play Oregon. So, Oregon State may not stay in the top 25.

Also, Utah lost to Florida, who UT and LSU both beat. I think these matchups matter. Utah beat USC.

As long as LSU and Bama win, UT will have the two best wins….by far.

True, but if USC wins out they will have avenged the loss to Utah also

The only choice Heupel has is to score as many points as humanly possible on Junior and Candy. Hurt people's feelings! That's the way the system is built.

Utah has to beat Oregon first.

Was my second statement inaccurate?

I think Heupel has learned a couple of lessons this year about absolutely burying teams (LSU and Florida). That is at least partially why he did that to Missouri. I pity South Carolina if we get up big early lol

So last week all we had to worry about was Oregon. Now that they lost we have to worry about USC.

And the week after that all we'll have to worry about is Clemson. And the week after that we will have to worry about 2 loss LSU jumping us when we whooped them. In the end, they know we win out we should be in. But they need drama for their clicks and ratings.

Tennessee couldn't score enough on Beamer for the thought of pity to enter my mind.

I would be flabbergasted. A team with 2 losses would jump a team that blasted it on its home field. If that happened, then there is no more talk of teams “deciding it on the field.”

The head of the committee has made reference to our offensive numbers, and I believe our exciting brand also favors us.

2016 - Big10 Champion and 2-loss Penn State got left at #5. The Big10 was considered the toughest conference that year. Not only that, but they beat #2 Ohio State head-to-head. Ohio State didn't win their division or conference and had 1 loss, but they had the best resume in the country with huge wins over multiple top-ranked teams like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma.

Penn State's setback was getting obliterated by Michigan early in the season and losing to Pitt in a nonconference matchup.

The 2016 situation is not too dissimilar than if LSU won the championship game and got left out. Nonconference loss to a solid team (FSU) and getting obliterated by a top team (Tennessee). And Tennessee has the best resume in the country hands down - just like Ohio State did.

But LSU ain't gonna win. And Tennessee's resume should jump the OSU/UM loser. Then if TCU flounders we jump to 3, leaving the 4 spot to a 1-loss Pac12 champ, 1-loss Big12 champ, 1-loss ACC champ, or 1-loss OSU/UM loser.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

they are historically our bitch, we have been **** the last 15 years, and they are still 2 whole wins behind us after that period where we have been utter ****

Huh? Since 2000 UGA leads the series 17-6. How is UGA historically our b!tch?

 

[Kristy*]

The committee will say “LSU beat Georgia, which clobbered Tennessee.” They will find some way to spin it. I’m not saying I think it’s what should happen. Just think of how wild it would be to have 2 conference teams in the playoff and you leave out the conference champion.

Again, so I agree? NO. I just have a very bad feeling and hope this doesn’t happen. I hope Georgia clobbers the Tigers on December 3rd.

A two-loss team has never made the playoffs and won't when there are still many good 1-loss teams to choose from.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

It’s a sign!

13-1

 

[SoilVol]

If you want to feel better about the basketvols, Michigan State beat Kentucky in Double OT. And last week they lost to the Zags by 1. And we hammered both in preseason.

 

[tnvols72]

I think Pollack does not want to see a GA & TN rematch because deep down he does not think GA can beat TN again. fact check me

Kind of weird how you picked the year after our 9 game win streak against them and didn't acknowledge that we were 17-10 against them prior to 2000.

Reading LSU’s board they think it’s a forgone conclusion they would jump us. The thing that will hurt them and the committee being able to is that we’re 5 and they’re 6 with no big wins left before the championship for either. A loss by OSU or Michigan moves us to top 4 with no games left. Hard to move a team you currently have in front out without a loss.
